Chapter 1201 She Chose This Path
"Visit Leia?" Bianca frowned and thought of Leia.
She had never been in contact with Leia but she learned a lot about her from documents. She felt neutral toward her so-called
sister.
'She’s still thinking about Leia? Is she stupid?'
Bianca looked down on Queenie’s benevolence, but on the surface, she smiled slightly and said, "Mom, let's have Dad decide on
this matter."
Based on what she read on the documents. Jack was the one who sent Leia abroad.
At that time, Leia refused to leave A City and made a big fuss before she was sent abroad. Since she left, Leia had been trying
to figure out a way to come back.
Jack and Luke were getting in the way of it, so Leia never had a chance to return.
Bianca was surprised to hear that Leia found a partner abroad and wanted Queenie to visit.
It seemed to her that the engagement was fake and just a part of Leia's plot.
When she heard Bianca's reply, Queenie sighed and said in a melancholic tone, "Your father is still angry... I can’t persuade him
alone."
Jack loved her, but after all, he was once a soldier and had a stubborn temper.
Jack was already infuriated with Leia for everything that happened previously. If they had not spent more than 20 years in the
same household, he would have severed their father-daughter relationship.
Bianca did not want to see Leia, so she deliberately showed an uncomfortable expression as she said, "Mom, you're just getting
better and I heard that this poison..."
She paused and did not continue talking.
Rumor had it that Leia was the reason why Queenie was poisoned.
Bianca was a little skeptical. Since everyone seemed to think so, it must not be a groundless accusation.
'Why would she still want to see Leia? Is there something wrong with her brain?'
Queenie’s smile froze when she heard what Bianca said. She patted Bianca's hand and sighed softly.
Bianca had lost her memory and started to alienate herself from Queenie after that. It seemed that Bianca no longer understood
her as well as she did.
Seeing her reaction, Bianca was worried that Luke would think she had done something to Queenie, so she chose to change the
subject. "Mom, who's the woman who took your pulse?" "I don't know. It was my first time meeting her." Queenie showed a faint
smile on her face when the mystery woman was mentioned.
"Didn't you ask for her name?" Bianca was very curious. To Bianca, Shanks had the best medical skills, but she knew that
Shanks would never treat Queenie.
"She didn't mention anything, but that woman is beautiful. Her beauty and temperament are refreshing." Queenie thought about
their previous interaction and even felt a feeling of warmth in her heart.
However, it was the first time she had seen the woman.
Bianca was speechless hearing Queenie complimenting the woman.
At noon, after the maid informed them that lunch was ready, Queenie and Bianca took the kids by the hands and walked to the
dining room.
Jack's mood had improved a lot because of Queenie’s recovery. He was happy and opened a bottle of red wine. When they were
walking in, they saw him pouring Luke a glass of wine.
Queenie walked over, shook her head, and said, "Dear, you shouldn't be drinking." "It’s okay. I’m in a wonderful mood today,"
Jack said. His expression was still upright and serious, but the corners of his mouth could not help but rise into a smile.
Bianca was a little puzzled. When she and Queenie walked to the garden just now, he was not happy at all.
'What did Luke say and do to make him so happy?'
Queenie shook her head and said softly to the kids, "Come, sit down." "Okay, Grandma." The kids nodded and took their seats.
Bianca wanted to sit next to Luke, but Tommy and Rainie took the left and right seats next to him. Reluctantly, she sat next to
Rainie.
Halfway through the meal, Jack finished half a bottle of wine and was a little tipsy.
"Come on, Luke, another glass! Bea will drive you back later." Jack clinked glasses with him.
Luke clinked glasses with him and finished the wine in one gulp.
Queenie watched the two of them drink. She took a sip of juice, put down her utensils, and said, "Dear, I have something to tell
you."
Jack was tipsy. In the last few years, he had not drunk a single drop of alcohol to focus on taking care of her so his alcohol
tolerance had become worse.
His face was flushing. He asked, "My love, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Queenie said, "Leia has found a boyfriend abroad and said that they’re going to get engaged. Let’s go visit them and meet the
guy’s parents to discuss wedding details."
When he heard Leia's name, Jack shook his head. Although he was tipsy, he was not a fool. "I don’t care about her." "Dear..."
Queenie was a little anxious when she heard that he was unhappy.
"She's in a foreign country and the customs are different from ours. It's their business that they want to get engaged. It has
nothing to do with us."
Jack waved his hand, picked up the bottle again, and poured himself and Luke a glass of wine. "Luke, don’t you agree?"
"Mother-in-law, let’s talk about this later. Long-distance travel is not the best for your condition now." Luke picked up the glass.
He did not persuade Queenie to give up nor did he agree to anything.
Leia had always wanted to return to A City, but he and Jack would always secretly put a stop to her attempts, forcing her to stay
abroad.
Now that she was done with her studies, she realized that she still could not come back. Perhaps she thought that if she found
someone to marry, it would soften Queenie’s heart and Jack's attitude. Luke would never let her succeed.
When Queenie heard his reply, disappointment flashed in her eyes but she just nodded.
She knew that what Leia did was disappointing and unforgivable.
She should have gone to jail...
However, she had always seen Leia as her own. She was unwilling to see Leia go to jail, so she begged Jack to send her abroad
instead.
Many years had passed since the last time she saw Leia.
Queenie missed her.
After lunch, Jack and Luke continued drinking.
Luke was okay as he frequently socialized and could take his alcohol. After he supported Jack to the bedroom upstairs, he took
his wife and children to say goodbye to Queenie.
Queenie escorted them out.
When they were about to get in the car, Queenie could not help but say," Luke, Leia didn't intend to cause anyone any hurt. Do
you understand?"
Luke stood by the passenger door and looked at Queenie.
Although she was doing better, her complexion was still pale. In the past two years, Queenie’s complexion had progressively
worsened. Although her appearance was still well maintained, her condition was not as good as before.
It was all because of Leia.
However, Queenie still chose to stand on her side. Luke's expression was unchanged as he said, "Mother-in-law, she chose this
path. Take care and we’ll see you soon.”
