“Dexter? Did you pass out because of Dexter?” Johann gave her a confused look and asked, “What happened?”"Stop pretending that you don't know about it. You arranged for Dexter to be here," Leia sat up on the bed. Her hair was messy, and her eyes were filled with hatred. Johann knew the person Leia did not want to see the most was Dexter. That was why he set this up."Ms. Norman, you need evidence to prove that. The Norman family is concerned about your health. That's why I'm Dexter's attending physician too. The purpose was to increase the success rate of the surgery. I was the surgeon who removed Dexter's liver from him and transplanted it into your body. Dexter is getting discharged today. That's why I asked him to do a final check-up to make sure that he's fine. Who'd expect that you'd run into him here?" Johann asked.“You did it on purpose. You knew Dexter was going for a check-up. That’s why you arranged for me to go for a check-up too.” Leia could not be bothered about the
Leia was like a shrew. Not only was she sharp-tongued, but she also kicked Dexter.Dexter even kneeled before her to ask for her forgiveness in the video. If Jack was a passerby who knew nothing about this, he would have thought something was wrong with Leia too.Leia had just finished her surgery, yet she had already gotten herself into trouble.“Leia has gone too far!” Jack was so angry that he slammed the table with his palm.Mr. Lucas, who was standing beside Jack, trembled with fear. He immediately said, “Mr. Norman, calm down.”“She said terrible things. How am I supposed to calm down?” Jack’s face was red with anger. If he had not taken the antihypertensive medication this morning, his blood pressure would have shot up because of the video.Not only was Leia ruining her image, but she even tried to drag Jack into this.Leia mentioned Jack Norman’s name many times in the video. Although Leia was only emphasizing that she was Jack’s daughter, it was the parents’ responsib
“Okay. I have an important meeting to attend later. That’s all for today. Bring Luca to my house for dinner when you’re available,” said Jack. He already heard Queenie mention it to him last night.It was about how Leia got on Luca’s nerves in the hospital, causing Luca to toss the medical records aside before leaving the hospital. What would Luca think about Leia’s ignorance and Queenie’s doting? “Okay.” Luke did not take his words seriously. After all, Queenie was on her guard now. If Luke brought Luca to their house, Queenie might suspect them.Luke was not afraid of Queenie suspecting him, but Luca was concerned about Queenie’s thoughts. He looked at the computer screen. The commentators he paid had been guiding public opinion. Luke closed the website and continued with his work.…In the hospital.Leia’s face turned gloomy when she watched the videos on the internet.People who had seen the videos were criticizing her. Her haters took the chance to expose the skeletons
Another nurse helped Leia to pack the things on the bedside table. These would be taken to be disinfected later.Leia noticed that the nurses did not answer her. Instead, they began to take her stuff away. She immediately said, “You have no right to touch my stuff!”“These belong to the hospital,” said the head nurse. The water bottle and some other items belonged to the hospital. They were for the patients in the VIP wards. The water bottles downstairs were not the same design.“I’m not moving.” Leia insisted. The head nurse did not know if she should be laughing or crying when she saw Leia behaving like this. She had no choice but to explain to her, “Ms. Norman, Mr. Norman is the one who’s paying for your medical expenses. Now, he’s requesting to transfer you to a normal ward. We have no choice but to follow his instructions.”"Don't touch anything. I'm calling my Dad," said Leia. She was disgusted at the thought of moving downstairs. She was a person with high social status. W
“I don’t…” Leia still wanted to resist as the thought of living downstairs made her feel ashamed.Moreover, she was the talk of the town. If she went downstairs, she would be surrounded by spectators.Leia wanted to plead with Jack.“That’s the final decision, and don’t disturb your father. He’ll get even angrier if you look for him now. Just focus on recovering in the hospital.” After Queenie finished speaking, she hung up.She did not care if Leia would go to her grandparents.Anyway, the old master was pissed after seeing the video anyway.If Leia knew better, she would not bother the two old people and bring about her own destruction.In the hospital ward.Leia lay down and tossed her phone aside.After listening to her long conversation with Queenie without interrupting, the nurse finally said, “Pack up and we’ll help you move downstairs.”“Don’t touch me.” Leia widened her eyes and glared at the nurse in front of her.The nurse was unfazed and said, “Ms. Norman, please
A mother would always worry about her child, and Queenie was no exception.It was just that Leia made her worry too much.When Leia was still in the entertainment industry, Queenie constantly used her connections in the industry to help develop her career so that she would not sell herself to get resources like most celebrities.However, Leia still went astray and did everything she could to get what did not belong to her.In the end, she even drugged Queenie to take revenge on her.At the thought of this, Queenie felt that the bitterness in her mouth could never compare to the bitterness in her heart.“Mrs. Norman, is the medicine really bitter?” The maid noticed her frown and asked worriedly.“It’s fine.” After the pills had disintegrated under her tongue, Queenie drank a big glass of water.The maid brought over candy and said, “Mrs. Norman, have some candy.”Queenie shook her head and glanced out the window to see that it had stopped snowing. Then, she asked, “How many mor
In the past, all of Percy’s clothes were custom-made.However, he did not have the time to customize his clothes as he was busy with work this year, so Nina decided to pick out some clothes for him at the mall for New Year’s.Besides, wearing new clothes in the new year was good luck for the year ahead.“Mr. Mallory is so lucky to have a girlfriend like you,” Queenie said with a smile. Nina was Bianca’s best friend. Regardless of what the news reports say, she still admired the candid person in front of her.“Aunt Queenie, it seems like you’ve bought quite some stuff. Did you get clothes for Mr. Norman and Ms. Norman?” Nina noticed that the salesperson beside her was already holding a bunch of clothes.Some even had bright colors. Although she could not see the style, she guessed that some were meant for someone younger.Queenie probably bought the clothes for Leia.Bianca had gone through so much because of Leia, and Leia had done so much to hurt Queenie and Jack, yet Queenie s
Queenie recalled that Leia did not like taking the doctor’s advice either, so she shook her head in distress.“Aunt Queenie, what’s wrong?” Nina said with concern.“Nothing, I just hope that everything will get better after the new year,” Queenie expressed her wishes.Although Nina loathed Leia to the point that she would not even pity her if she were to die, Queenie would be sad if Leia died. Bianca cared the most about her biological mother, so she still comforted her, “Don’t worry, Ms. Norman will be able to recover and be discharged soon. Plus, there’s still Luca. She’s great at treating patients, so she can help Ms. Norman anytime.”Queenie could no longer smile at the mention of this.After seeing the smile on her face disappear, Nina realized that she had said the wrong thing, so she asked with caution, “Aunt Queenie, did I say something wrong?”Queenie shook her head and frowned as she told Nina about last night’s events.Although Luca had sent her a message afterward sa
