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
Queenie was still hesitant because after what Luca had done for their family, they should be the ones thanking her.Now, it was the other way around, which was inappropriate.After noticing Queenie’s hesitation, Luca said, “Aunt Queenie, this is just a token of appreciation. You know there’s no hidden meaning to it. Since it’s New Year’s, I wanted to gift you two some things to show my gratitude.”Nina also said, “She’s right, Aunt Queenie. If it makes you uncomfortable, you can just gift Luca an envelope with money when the new year is here.”Queenie looked at Luca with her lips slightly open as she nodded. “Okay. Thank you, Luca.”“You’re welcome, Aunt Queenie.” Luca smiled faintly after Queenie accepted the gifts.Queenie saw that Luca was not angry in the slightest bit. She even gifted her a whole bunch of things. It would be rude of her to continue dwelling on what had happened yesterday.Her heart softened after seeing Luca’s smiling face as if the bitterness in her heart
Jack put down his utensils in his hands and looked at Queenie.He was the only Norman family member who knew that Luca was Bianca. As such, Queenie would not be able to understand a lot of what he was talking about."We’ll just get Luca something for New Year’s," Jack said. After all, Luca was their daughter. It was normal to give presents to one’s kids during the new year.That was the best blessing parents could give to their children during the festivities."Would it seem too tacky?" Queenie was hesitant. Although it was common for elders to give gifts to juniors, Luca did not seem like the kind who would get them so many gifts to get something in return from them.On top of that, she heard from Luke that Luca grew up abroad with her mother.They might not practice the same traditions, she was worried that it might seem too casual if she went to get a return gift. "That's the most sincere blessing we can give to someone. How can it be tacky?" Jack picked up his fork and cont
As he listened to Queenie’s chatter, Jack picked up the shirt and put it on. "It’s not only the right size, but it’s also the right color and style. I’ll wear this on the first day of the new year!"Queenie noticed how happy Jack seemed.Leia had also bought a lot of clothes for the two of them before.Jack would always react calmly to Leia’s gifts. He had never been so happy as when he received gifts from Luca. Luca was better at picking clothes than Leia. The size, style, and color of the clothes she bought were suitable for their age. However, at this moment, Jack looked as happy as a father receiving a carefully selected gift from his daughter.Jack carefully put his clothes on the sofa, picked up the other set of clothes, and placed it on Queenie. "Mm, they’re perfect for you. This color is so festive. It’s suitable to wear during the new year. We’ll wear these on the first day of the new year.""Okay, you can do whatever you want." Queenie went along with his wishes. "Dear
"Okay, I get it. We’ll have Leia stay in the normal ward until she’s discharged." Queenie made up her mind.‘No matter the fuss Leia kicks up, we’ll never compromise.’Moreover, she had decided to reduce her visits to the hospital so Leia could not try to change her mind."After she gets discharged, I’ll arrange a place for Leia to stay in," Jack said. After the incident, he was fuming and planned the next steps immediately."Dear, what are you going to do?" Queenie frowned, unsure of why Jack made such a decision.Although Leia would soon be discharged, it did not mean she would recover completely.Johann mentioned that Leia would have to take medicines and take care of herself well so that her body could accept the liver transplant.‘If Leia lives somewhere else, how will I take care of her?’ "I’ve thought about it. Our home is far from the hospital, so I’ll rent a two-room apartment near the hospital for her to live in. We’ll get a maid to take care of her. It’ll also be c
Luca knew that Luke had managed the situation well. He did a wonderful job. Dexter could not do anything to the Norman family even if he was eyeing their fortune.Luke dealt with the situation in a way that would not affect Jack's work, nor would it affect Queenie. Luca opened her lips slightly and could not help but praise him, "You did a great job."Luke could not help but smile when he heard her praise.He closed the page and put his phone on the wireless charging stand on the bedside table. "It's getting late. Let's go to bed.""Okay." Luca was sleepy too.Whenever it was at this hour, she would feel sleepy if Luke was by her side.Luca lay down and Luke lay beside her, hugging her tightly.After they turned off the lights, there was only the sound of them breathing in the bedroom.Gradually, Luca fell asleep while being hugged by Luke. She had a pretty good dream....Late at night.The streets of A City were no longer lively because of the blizzard.In the alley of
