Queenie nodded. She understood.
Now, she had to disguise herself as a ''patient''. She could not casually walk around the hospital
corridors.
She did not know when Luca would arrive at the hospital, so she had to be on guard at all times.
Queenie walked over to the sofa, picked up Jack''s coat, and handed it to him, saying, "You don''t need
to worry about me. The hospital has everything I need, and I''m feeling much better now. You can focus
on your work."
"Alright. If you need anything, just call me. If you can''t reach me, call my secretary," replied Jack.
Hospitals were not the best ce, and if it were not for needing to push Luca, he would not want
Queenie to stay in the hospital either.
"Okay," replied Queenie as she helped him straighten his tie.
After Jack tidied himself up, he left the hospital ward and saw the maid waiting in the hallway. He said,
"Take care of my wife. If anythinges up, make sure to contact me."
When they discussed matters rted to Luca, they always kept the maid out of the loop.
Luke mentioned that even though the maid had worked for the Norman family for many years, the
fewer people who knew about Luca, the better it was for her protection.
The abilities of the Ind of Despair were truly terrifying.
They could even carefully arrange an impostor Bianca to be by Luke''s side for a long time. It took a
while before they realized that the Bianca they sent was an impostor.
Therefore, they had to protect Luca. This matter could not be known by too many people, only those
close to them.
"Yes, sir," replied the maid. She put away her phone before returning to the hospital ward.
"Madam, would you like some water?" asked the maid.
"No need." Queenie paused for a moment, looked at the maid, and said, "There''s nothing urgent on my
end. If there''s anything that needs to be taken care of at home, you can go back first."
Her blood pressure was stable now. She did not need constant supervision.
The maid replied with a smile on her face, "Madam, rest assured. When the doctor said you needed to
stay in the hospital for observation, Mr. Norman had already arranged for a cleaningdy to go to the
house. I don''t have any tasks."

Queenie nodded. She did not expect Jack to make such arrangements.
She then heard the maid say, "Mr. Norman also mentioned that if there''s nothing urgent, I shouldn''t
leave the hospital because your health is unstable and you need constant care."
"But without you at home, no one''s cooking dinner for him..." Queenie slightly furrowed her brows.
There was only one maid at home. Now that she was providing round-the-clock care at the hospital, it
meant no one would be cooking for Jack.
"Don''t worry, Mrs. Norman. Mr. Norman said he''ll have lunch and dinner at the hospital cafeteria," she
added.
Queenie still could not figure out why Jack made such arrangements, especially since she appeared
quite normal.
Still, a seemingly normal person staying in the hospital was indeed puzzling to the maid.
However, she could not ask too much about the affairs of the master''s family and had to follow their
instructions.
"The cafeteria food can''tpare to what we have at home..." Queenie frowned. Jack usually had
lunch at the office cafeteria, but he would alwayse home for dinner if he did not work overtime.
After all, the office cafeteria had strict budget constraints, so the food was quite ordinary and not very
plentiful.
"So, Mrs. Norman, you need to get better soon to go back home. Then, Mr. Norman cane home
for dinner in the evenings," the maid said with a reassuring smile.
She nced at the time, and poured a ss of water for Queenie. "Mrs. Norman, it''s time to take your
medicine."
"Okay." Queenie took the ss of water from her.
The maid opened the medication package the nurse had given to them in the morning and saw that
there was only one pill inside. She frowned and asked, "Why is there only one pill?”
When Queenie was hospitalized back then, she had several pills to be taken in the morning and noon.
They were all put together.
However, sincest night, Queenie was only given one pill.
The maid thought the nurse might have given the wrong medication, so she personally inquired at the
nurse''s station. The nurse confirmed that this was the medication prescribed by Dr. Park for Queenie.
"Give it to me," said Queenie. She took the pill and swallowed it with the water.
Only she and Jack knew that the morning pill was for lowering blood pressure, and the subsequent pills
were all vitamins and supplements.
Queenie''s blood pressure was stable now. She did not need to take as many blood pressure
medications. However, with the maid watching over her, she could not skip taking the pills, so she had
to use the vitamins and calcium supplements as substitutes.
The maid, after watching Queenie take the pill, took the ss from her. She could not help but ask,
"Are you sure they didn''t make a mistake with the medication? Why is it just one pill now?"
"Didn''t you already ask them at the nurse''s station? It should be correct," answered Queenie.
The maid nodded.
"I''d like to watch TV for a while." Queenie did not want the maid to dwell on her medication, so she
made the suggestion.
"Sure, I''ll turn on the TV for you." The maid agreed and switched on the TV, which happened to be on a
legal channel.
Both the maid and Queenie were startled for a moment.
The legal channel was currently discussing the recent high-profile case involving a man named Matysh
who had attempted to kidnap someone.
This was the same case that Leia was involved in.
Even though the host on the channel used code names for Matysh, Leia, and the others, the motives
and details of the crime were identical to the real-life case.
Queenie''s expression turned sour. Even though her focus was on Luca now, the mention of Leia still
affected her mood.
Her own daughter had conspired with someone else to harm her loved ones...
It was absurd and funny when she thought about it.
Now, Queenie''s heart was set on making Luca admit her true identity so that the mother and daughter
could reunite.
Leia had yed a role in preventing their reunion.
Previously, she coborated with the Ind of Despair to kidnap Bianca, who was seeking revenge
against Luke.
As the legal channel continued to cover the case, it stirred up unpleasant memories in Queenie''s mind.
The maid shot a nce at Queenie and said in a low voice, "Mrs. Norman, would you like me to
change the channel?"
"No." Queenie''s gaze remained fixed on the TV screen.
Jack told her that regardless of Leia''s attempts to defend herself, she would undergo rehabilitation in
prison this time. The length of her sentence would depend on the judge''s decision.
Jack would not interfere with it.
Leia would serve as many years in prison as she deserved.
Queenie was reluctant to do so back then. Even though Leia had truly done something wrong, she was
still her daughter. It was hard for Queenie to bear when she knew that her daughter was going to
prison.
However, ever since she found out that Luca''s true identity was Bianca, it became clear that Leia was
in cahoots with the Ind of Despair. She used the guise of helping Bianca to choose a wedding dress
as an excuse to have the people from the Ind of Despair kidnap Bianca.
Her sympathy for Leia disappeared without a trace.
While listening to the host on the legal channel analyze the case, Queenie even felt some hatred deep
within.
Throughout her life, she rarely held grudges against others. She had a happy and content life. There
was no need for her to harbor ill feelings toward anyone.
However, when Queenie learned about Leia''s treacherous actions, she could not help but feel hatred.
She even thought that it would have been better if she had not walked into that orphanage with Jack
back then.
That way, she would not have adopted Leia, and Leia would not have caused harm to Bianca.
