Chapter 1543 Grumpy As Ever

Author: Heap Heap
“Sir, it’s time to leave.” The Norman family’s chauffeur reminded him. He did not mean to interrupt their conversation, but Jack had to attend an important meeting today. He would be late if they did not leave now.

“Alright. I’m leaving for work now.” Jack nodded.

Luca smiled. She let out a sigh of relief after watching Jack leave.

As Queenie’s body was getting better day by day, Jack’s suspicion toward her was getting lesser too. He was more friendly to her now.

Luca felt her heart warm from the kindness he showed her.

She rang Norman Residence’s doorbell.

Soon, the maid came running out to open the door for her. “Ms. Craw, you’re here.”

“Yes, is Mrs. Norman here?” Luca asked.

"Yes, Mrs. Norman and Ms. Norman are here," the maid blurted out without noticing that she had spilled the beans.

“Miss?” Luca walked in and asked intentionally. “Isn’t Ms. Norman studying abroad? She’s back?”

The one she was talking about was Bianca, whom Luke had told her about.

    Queenie had no idea her words had gotten on Leia’s nerves. She smiled and looked at Luca. “Luca, can you take her pulse, then? Leia’s been feeling uncomfortable lately. I’m worried.”"Alright." Luca nodded and looked at Leia. She did not ask Leia to reach out to let her check her pulse. Instead, she was observing her to figure out her condition."Ms. Norman has sallow skin, and her eyes are swollen. These are caused by staying up late for an extended period of time," said Luca. There was a hint of incisiveness in her words as she pointed out the condition of Leia’s body.Leia touched her face unconsciously. Was Luca prying into her life now?Why did she sound so certain about that when she had not even checked her pulse?However, Leia thought for a moment. Staying up late was a common problem for most people now. It was no surprise that Luca would say so.“Ah? Then what should we do?” Queenie asked hurriedly. "Staying up late will only lead to various problems in your body. The

    The maid widened her eyes and said, “Do you mean Dr. Craw? I only know that she’s a research professor in a pharmaceutical company. I’m not sure about anything else…”Leia pounded on the couch when she listened to the maid’s worthless words. “Useless piece of sh*t.”After Queenie sent Luca off, she paced back to the living room without saying anything. She then ordered the maid, “Go to my bedroom and bring my bag out. Oh yes, and Leia’s bag too.”“Mom, where are we going?” Leia saw her in a hurry and was confused. “To the hospital. I’m bringing you to the hospital for a check-up now,” Queenie said. Previously, Leia was pregnant with Brody’s child and her body was already in terrible condition then. When she was in New York, she got pregnant with her boyfriend’s child. However, they ended up aborting the child. Her body’s condition had deteriorated after undergoing an abortion twice. Queenie did not expect Leia to have liver and kidney problems other than gynecological issues.

    Luke would never call if there was nothing. Queenie signaled Leia, who was sitting beside her, to be quiet. She told her not to speak. Then, she answered the call. “Luke, what’s the matter?”Leia, who was sitting beside her, was already feeling uneasy. She got even more restless when she heard Luke's name. Why was this man calling at this time?!Could it be that he had already found out she had sneaked back here… Leia was listening to the call while comforting herself at the same time. She had found an agency to help her. The agency’s people had been forging her traces to show that she was still in New York. Hence, Luke should not have noticed anything amiss. He was so busy. How could he keep an eye on her?While Leia was comforting herself, Qunnie was worried too.On the other end of the phone, Luke said, “Mother, Tommy told me he’s missing his grandmother. I’m planning to bring the kids over for dinner with you and Father. Is that alright?”Queenie glanced at Leia when she

    Luca listened to the kids complaining about how Luke had forgotten his promise and brought her there instead. She was a little embarrassed. After all, it was not like she traveled with Luke to have fun with him.“You can still go there. Your whole family can go there during the holidays,” said Luca.Tommy asked, “Can you travel with us when the time comes, Ms. Luca?” Luca did not expect the child to take the initiative to invite her. She was startled for a moment. She glanced at the kids and said, “Let’s talk about this later.”“I want to go with Ms. Luca, and I want to go with Sis too. It’d be much more interesting compared to traveling with Daddy,” Tommy said while blinking his eyes.Luke was given the cold shoulder, but he did not say anything. He continued to drive as if the person his child was embarrassing was not him. Luca was speechless. She did not expect the kids to embarrass him in front of him.Rainie said, "Daddy is busy with work every day. He would even bring

    Even though Leia had locked herself in her room, she might not be able to stay completely silent. Moreover, Tommy was a curious child. If he realized that something was amiss, he would tell Luke about it. When Queenie thought about that, she smiled gently to mask the unease in her heart. "The playroom was sterilized earlier this morning, and the smell of disinfectant is still quite strong. I don't think you should go in there. What do you want to play? I'll go and get it for you." Tommy shook his head when he heard that. "It's okay, Grandma. I'll watch cartoons instead." "Alright. I'll turn the TV on for you." Queenie breathed a sigh of relief. The child was well-behaved. Luke looked at her, then at the stairs. He guessed that Leia was hiding upstairs. Otherwise, Queenie would not stop Tommy from going up. Luca also knew what was going on, and she did not say anything, including the fact that she had been to the Norman household earlier in the day. Queenie turned on the

    The sky was darkening. Luca looked at the time and saw that it was half-past six. She could smell the fragrance of the food wafting out of the kitchen. The maid was almost done cooking dinner. However, the sky… Tommy noticed that Luca was looking out of the window. He leaned over and asked curiously, "What are you looking at, Ms. Luca?" "It looks like it's going to rain." The sky was much darker than it should be at that hour. A storm should be coming. "Oh, it really does look like it's going to rain. I'll go and take the laundry in." Queenie glanced out of the window and immediately stood up. "Let me help you, Mrs. Norman." Luca also wanted to go upstairs. On the second floor, Luca glanced at the room to their left. That was Jack's study. The door was ajar. Luke and Jack were inside talking about something. Luca tried to tune in to the conversation. The two men were talking about antiques. After that, she went to the balcony to help Queenie take the laundry in. The

    The maid would stay the night in the Norman residence when it was inconvenient to go home. Queenie looked at the rain outside the window and said, "It's not very convenient for you to go home. You should stay." "Yes. The weather service has also issued a yellow alert earlier," the maid said. "It's that serious?" Queenie did not expect that. She looked at Luke and said, "You shouldn't leave just yet, Luke. It's not safe to drive home when it's raining so heavily." "Alright," Luke said. He did not expect that Queenie would ask him to stay. The rain was not going to stop any time soon. How long would Leia be able to hide? He knew that she was not a patient person… After dessert, Luca sat on the couch and watched the news. The yellow alert had been escalated to an orange alert. She looked out of the window and saw that the rain did not lessen. The storm was much more severe than any summer storm. "It's orange now," Queenie said. She was also watching the news. Jack stood

    At eleven o'clock, Luca sat on the sofa bed in the playroom. From the variety of toys found inside, Luca could tell that Jack and Queenie adored the children a lot. She considered herself lucky to have such gentle and caring parents who would share their love unconditionally with her children. Queenie knocked on the door. Luca lifted her head, stood up, and said, "Mrs. Norman." "May I come in?" Queenie asked while standing at the door. "Of course," Luca said. Queenie came into the room with a set of clothes in hand. She put it on the sofa bed and said, "I didn't find any new clothes in Bea's room, so I went through my clothes, and I found this silk gown that I had tailor-made when I was young. I haven't worn it before, so why don't you wear it to sleep tonight?" Not only was Luca a guest, but she had helped the Normans so many times. Queenie did not want to ask her to wear Bianca's old clothes, so she searched through her own wardrobe and found the silk gown that she had no

    “You don’t need to remind me. I was going to check anyway.” Abel shot Luca a chilling look.She took a step back and stayed silent.Abel turned to the pale-faced Hera and said, “If you’ve got low blood sugar, get up and eat something.”“I’ll eat now,” Hera replied, sitting up.Luca handed her the takeout.Abel glanced at the food and then frowned at Luca. “Why didn’t you make breakfast this morning?”“I was busy,” Luca explained with a calm indifference, her expression unwavering. She showed no fear, even under Abel’s questioning.Hera suddenly found herself admiring Luca. Everyone feared this man, yet Luca remained composed even when facing potential punishment. Not just anyone could pull that off.At the thought of this, Hera opened the takeout and kept quiet.Abel narrowed his eyes, glancing between Hera and Luca. His gaze was not exactly gentle as he muttered, “Stop eating this junk. It’s bad for you.”“I know, babe. Just this once. After this, I’ll have what Luca cooks f

    Hera panicked the moment she heard that. “I trust her!”Luca and Shanks were both watching her.Hera repeated herself, saying, “I trust her, okay? What kind of treatment does she need? I’ll cooperate with anything. But what about Abel…”“I’ll tell him it’s just to help improve your overall health,” replied Shanks. Then, he turned around, opened the medicine cabinet, and started preparing the prescription.Hera let out a sigh of relief. As long as Abel did not find out about her health condition, that was all that mattered.If he knew she was unwell, he would send her back to A City. Without free medical help and no way to make extra money, she would be in serious trouble.“Thank you,” said Hera.“Wait outside,” instructed Shanks.“Okay.” Hera carefully stepped out.Luca, however, remained where she was, waiting.While preparing the medicine, Shanks asked, “Do you know which acupoints to target for her?”“Yes,” Luca replied confidently. As long as she checked Hera’s pulse, sh

    “There are a lot of issues.” Luca did not hide anything and handed Hera the phone.Hera looked at it and frowned.“I can't understand any of this.” Hera felt dizzy just looking at the text, let alone the long list of medical terms. It was giving her a headache.“Look at these summaries and indicators. Compare the values on top with the normal values at the bottom, and you'll see what I mean,” explained Luca.Hera did not trust her. Therefore, Luca decided to let her see for herself. Seeing it with her own eyes would prevent any doubts later.Luca pointed out how to read the test results, and after a moment, Hera managed to understand the report. Her face turned pale. “How can there be so many problems?”She looked at Luca and questioned, “Did you fake this?”“I don’t have the power to make the medical center fake anything. Besides, the report has the medical center’s official stamp. If you don’t believe me, you can go directly to the medical center and ask for the official cop

    “I heard from the boss that he's coming because of Vivian.” Gale paused for a moment before adding, “But never mind, you don't seem interested in her affairs anyway. I'm just letting you know he's on his way.”Gordan frowned. Ray was coming for Vivian?What could that ugly woman possibly need?“What do you mean by that?” asked Gordan.Gale smirked. “If you and Ray meet, that’s bound to end in a fight. And since you can't win against him, you might want to mentally prepare yourself, or better yet, find somewhere else to stay. It’d be safer that way.”Gordan's expression darkened. “If you have nothing nice to say, just zip it.”Gale grinned, clearly pleased with himself like he had just hit a sore spot.Gordan exhaled sharply. “Of all times, why is he coming to A City now? He’s just making things worse.”“It can't be helped. Vivian's situation is urgent.” Gale covered his mouth mockingly after he said that. “Oh, right. I forgot you don’t like hearing about her.”Ray wanted to br

    Luke sat in the villa, staring at Luca’s message.He was worried.For a moment, he considered calling her, but then he remembered that there were surveillance cameras everywhere on her side. He dismissed the idea immediately.Her safety came first.Luke reminded her: [Take care of yourself. Don’t worry, I’ll handle everything. Just focus on keeping yourself safe.] The worry in his heart refused to subside, but at this moment, there was no better solution.“Boss, you’re worried about your wife, huh? If you really can’t stand it, we can sneak you in again during the next shift change, just like last time,” said Gale.It had been his idea last time.Now, the real Lucius was still locked up in the basement of the villa.It had been nearly a month. Luke had forced him to take the antidote Luca had recreated. The man was still alive, proving the antidote worked perfectly.“That plan is too risky.” Luke put his phone away. His gaze was dark and thoughtful.“Risky, sure. But at lea

    Luca had not expected Abel and Shanks’ relationship to be like this.It seemed Abel still did not trust Shanks.Shanks continued, “Abel isn’t someone who trusts people easily. He doesn’t trust anyone. You think he’s devoted to Kassy now, right? That’s just his obsession. He's allowing Kassy to receive my treatment, but if it were him… No matter if he were blind or crippled, his safety would always come first. If he were seriously injured, maybe he’d accept treatment, but he definitely wouldn’t do it right away.”Luca stayed silent. Shanks really understood Abel well.Abel did not trust anyone—not even Kassy.Calling him paranoid would not be an exaggeration.Luca felt like they were getting off-topic, but she had never seen this side of Shanks before.In her mind, he was always buried in his work at the lab, only leaving for meals and sleep. Other than that, he was practically never outside.The lab was like his home…“Are you troubled by Hera’s situation?” Luca asked directly

    Hera was startled by Luca's words.The refusal that had been on the tip of her tongue suddenly got stuck in her throat.“I…” Hera hesitated, feeling conflicted. Leaving Abel might not be such a bad idea. At least she would not have to live in constant fear.She was finally realizing how unpredictable his moods were. At first, she thought it did not matter as she could still look at other men. She just had to ensure there was no physical contact. In reality, even if she so much as glanced at someone, Abel's expression would darken with anger.It was frustrating. Now, the only person she was allowed to look at was Gerald. Still, what was the point of just looking at Gerald?At that thought, she lifted her gaze to Luca.Luca added, “I’ll give you five minutes. If you refuse treatment after that, I’ll take the medicine back to Mr. Shanks and won’t try to convince you again.”Hera's heart tightened. She did not even need five minutes. She had made her decision within 30 seconds.“I’

    “If Abel finds out that Hera's body isn't suitable for organ donation to Kassy, what do you think he'll do?” asked Shanks.He already knew the answer, but he still wanted to hear Luca’s thoughts.“He has invested a lot of time and money in Hera. If he gets nothing out of it, he won’t let her off easily,” Luca said bluntly.Luca and Shanks were on the same page.They did not have a good relationship with Hera, but they had no intention of ruining her either.Hera’s personality was unpleasant, but that was not enough for them to hate her so much that they wanted to see her suffer.“What methods do you think he’ll use?” Shanks asked again.Luca was silent for a long moment.Shanks already knew the answer, yet he still wanted her to say it out loud.After thinking it over, she finally said, “There are plenty of ways he could go about it, but no matter what he chooses, Hera’s fate is sealed. She’s as good as dead…”She lowered her gaze, her tone firm and certain.Shanks nodded.

    Hera heard that Luca had returned and immediately went to find Shanks. She narrowed her eyes.That woman went to see Shanks. Could she be talking about her?The thought made Hera uneasy. She had a nagging feeling that something was wrong with her medical report.However, when they left the medical center earlier, Abel asked Luca when the report would be ready, and she said it would be available tomorrow.Hera turned to Gerald and said, “Take these back for me first.”“Alright.” Gerald carried the bags as he walked away. He could not help but wonder what exactly Hera bought. These bags were really heavy!Only after Gerald went upstairs did Hera slowly make her way up as well. Her room was on the third floor, but she stopped when she reached the second floor. She glanced around to make sure no one was watching before heading toward the laboratory.The door was closed.Instead of knocking, Hera pressed her ear against it, trying to eavesdrop.However, the laboratory was special
