Luca heard Queenie's cries, causing her heart to ache. She said softly, "Don't cry. What's the matter?"
"It's Leia. Leia's illness has gotten worse." Queenie sniffled and said, "She didn't follow your orders to take your medicine. She's
been secretly flushing your medicine down the toilet, choosing to take the medicine prescribed by another doctor instead. The
other doctor's medicine didn't have the same effect and she ended up in bed, feeling uncomfortable. The family doctor came just
now. He said that if things get worse, she'll have to go to the hospital for extensive treatment so I'm hoping that you could do
something to help.”
The medicine that Luca previously prescribed to Leia was effective. Previously, the doctor sighed in front of them and said that
the medicine was amazing. He then immediately discharged Leia from the hospital.
After being discharged from the hospital, Jack Norman heard that it was Luca's medicine that helped Leia, so he praised Luca
and Leia got angry. She then secretly threw out the medicine but still pretended to have taken it.
In the end, she became severely ill.
When Luca heard that, she knew that the matter could be serious. If Leia's condition got worse and she was not rescued in time,
it might be life-threatening.
She said, "I'm not free now. Can you take her to the hospital first?"
When Queenie heard that Luca was not free, she wanted to plead with her. However, after she thought about it, Luca was her
savior—not a relative. On top of that, Leia had such a bad attitude toward Luca previously so it was natural that Luca would not
help.
"Luca, I know I'm pushing it," Queenie said.
Luca wanted to explain that she was not turning Queenie down because she was being pushy.
It was just that Luke was by her side right now and she was unsure of how to get rid of him.
Moreover, for her to treat Leia, it would not just involve medicine. Needles were potentially needed as well.
"No, Mrs. Norman. Send her to the hospital first and I'll be there later," Luca said.
As soon as Queenie heard that Luca was willing to come, she quickly agreed and hung up the phone. She immediately made the
necessary arrangements.
Luca put the phone down.
Luke asked, "The Norman family called?"
"Um..." Luca did not choose to hide from him and just nodded helplessly.
"The hospital? Who's sick?" Luke asked.
Luca was not sure what to say at that moment. She did not pay much attention earlier and casually named the other party so
Luke knew who called the moment she answered the phone.
Since she also mentioned the hospital, who should she say was sick?
Jack?
If Luke knew Jack was sick, he would most definitely follow her to the hospital to visit him...
Should she be honest and mention Leia? The Norman family was still hiding the fact that she was back from Luke...
Luca felt a headache coming on and knew that there was no right answer. "Just a friend."
"A friend of the Norman family?" Luke asked.
"Mm," Luca continued to lie. She had already told him a lot of lies anyway.
"You don't have to lie to me." Luke exposed her. It was uncomfortable to watch her deceive him for Leia.
Bianca was horrible at lying.
Luca blinked and was about to say something when she heard him say, "I know that Leia has returned to A City and you've been
treating her."
Luca was speechless. She did not expect him to be so direct. She said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry."
"I sent Leia out of the country and I said that I would never let her return to A City. I know that she secretly came back. Do you
know why I didn't stop her and didn't insist that she leave?" Luke asked while he was driving.
Luca shook his head and said, "I don't."
"I didn't send Leia back because my wife hasn't been with Jack and Queenie for a long time. Although they haven't said
anything, I knew they were lonely, so I didn't send Leia off," Luke said. "She's going to be brought to the hospital now?"
"Yes," Luca nodded.
"You're going to help her?" Luke continued to ask.
"Yes. Mrs. Norman seems to be worried, so I'll go take a look," Luca said. If it were not for Queenie, she would not be bothered
with Leia at all.
Leia had hurt her no less than Marie but Marie did not have anyone she cared about to speak up for her. Hence, she could
choose to be heartless but Leia was different.
She did not want to see Queenie worried about Leia.
"I'll take you there." Luke knew she was doing it for Queenie's sake and did not say anything.
"I have to go back to the apartment first. My tools are still there," Luca said. She did not turn him down. After all, he knew the
truth and made it clear to her that he did. There was no point in lying to him.
Moreover, with his help, she could reach the hospital faster.
Luke nodded and drove her to her apartment.
Luca grabbed her tools and went downstairs. Luke then drove her to the hospital.
They arrived at the hospital parking lot. He did not seem to have any intention of getting out of the car.
Luca looked at him and asked, "Mr. Crawford, aren't you going to get out of the car?"
"They don't want to see me," Luke said. If he showed up in front of Queenie, it would only cause her to panic and worry about
how to cover up, so he did not plan to get out of the car. "Don't let them know that I know Leia is back. She's vicious. If Queenie
and Jack still think that I don't know about it, they'll trap her at home and keep her from going out. But if they learn that I already
know about Leia, Leia would have no reason to stay at home. She'll cause a lot of drama. "
"Okay." Luca thought that what he said made sense. Based on what she knew about Leia's temperament, it was best for her to
be locked up at home.
After all, Jack's status was higher than before. The higher the tree, the stronger the wind. If Leia went out in public, something
might happen and Jack would be implicated.
"In that case, you can go back now. I'll take a taxi home later," Luca said.
"It's okay, I'll wait for you here." Luke did not intend to leave.
"It may take some time..." Luca was not sure what was going on inside nor if Leia's condition was serious.
"It's okay. Go. She probably won't last long," Luke said. Johann had just sent him a text saying that Leia was in the hospital again
and she was in bad condition.
Luca nodded, got out of the car, and headed upstairs.
She asked Queenie which ward she was in. Queenie said that Leia was still in the emergency room.
She was familiar with the hospital's layout, so she walked directly to the emergency room.
When she arrived at the emergency room, she saw Queenie sitting on a chair and wiping tears silently.
"Mrs. Norman." Luca's heart throbbed. She could not bear to see her relatives sad. It had happened twice today and she was
exhausted.
When Queenie saw Luca, it was as if she had seen her only ray of hope. She went over to her and grabbed her hand. "Luca,
everything is our fault. Please save Leia."
Luca's heart throbbed even more as she listened to Queenie blaming Leia's illness on herself.
Perhaps it was because of her kindness that Leia grew up and became like this. Queenie was responsible, but the blame was
not entirely on her.
