There was dead silence in the ward.Jack waited for a while for Luca, but she did not come in. He spoke, “Luke, can you please check on Luca to see if she’s done giving the statement?”Luke did not move as he replied, “Father, she’ll come here after it’s done.”Jack kept quiet."Luca has to make a detailed statement. That's why she's taking a long time. She's worried about you. She'll be here later," added Luke.“Okay.” Jack closed his eyes and recalled what had happened.Leia and Luca were both their daughters. Luca tried her best to protect Jack and Queenie, while Leia…Jack remembered Leia screaming weirdly. It was because of Leia's scream that made him and Queenie suffer…Leia was hiding behind the sofa. She was safe. However, judging from the way she screamed and how she caught those men’s attention, it seemed like she did it on purpose...“The security alarm went off when that happened,” said Jack. To make sure that the alarm system would still work when there was no ele
Leia had no choice but to stay in the general ward at the Department of Hepatobiliary.However, Leia had no idea about Jack’s and Queenie’s current conditions.Leia could not help but hope that Jack and Queenie had injured their brains and were suffering from a cerebral hemorrhage. It would be better if something else happened to them. She wanted the two of them to experience how it felt like to be in pain from sickness.Still, she could not find out anything while staying in the general ward. No one informed her about her parents’ condition either. Johann turned a deaf ear to her questions whenever she asked him.It was as though everything about Jack and Queenie was kept in the dark from her. There was nothing Leia could do. She could only come upstairs and claim that she wanted to visit them to find out how they were doing. However, she did not expect to be stopped the moment she stepped out of the elevator.The head nurse was left with no choice. Leia was known for her bad b
When Luca heard Jack say it was the misfortune of the family, Luca pursed her lips. She held a grudge against Leia. Everything pointed to Leia…“Mr. Norman, say no more. Get some rest. I’ll be here,” said Luca.Jack continued, “Luca, you’re injured too. You don’t have to stay here. Ask Luke to find us a caretaker. You have to take care of yourself too.”Luca felt a lump in her throat, and she could not help but choke with sobs. “Don’t worry, Mr. Crawford has everything arranged. The caretaker will be coming soon.” Jack blinked his eyes and slowly closed them.Johann was worried that the concussion would cause some discomfort, so he added some painkillers to the IV drip.Luca glanced at the two IV fluid bags. They were running out of liquid. Thus, she pressed the call bell.The head nurse walked into the ward and asked, “What’s wrong with the patients?”“The IV fluids are running out.” Luca pointed at the two IV fluid bags beside both beds.The head nurse walked toward Jack’
“Tell them to cooperate with the police officers. I’ll ask Gale to head to the crime scene,” said Luke.Although all his subordinates had undergone special training before, Rain and Gale were more professional when it came to handling matters and investigating. There was a higher chance to find out something if he sent Gale to look into the case.“Got it, Boss,” replied Rain.After Luke ended the call, he walked back toward the ward. He headed to the ward after he threw the lunch boxes in the trash bin along the hallway.Queenie had already woken up.Luca sat by her bedside and listened to her as she talked.Queenie’s speech was slurred due to the concussion, but she was able to speak fluently. There was nothing wrong with her sentences. She was probably talking about Luca being injured and how she felt sorry for her.Luca felt suffocated when she heard that. It was she who made the couple suffer, but the two of them apologized to her when they woke up."Mrs. Norman, rest wel
After the caretaker left the ward, Luca and Luke sat on the sofa, keeping Jack and Queenie company.Luke held his phone and got busy handling the company’s matters. Even though he was not in the office now, there were piles of documents that he had to review. Jason sent him the electronic version of the documents to him. Then, Jason worked together with Luke to handle the documents through a virtual meeting while Jason remained at the office. Luca knew Luke was busy attending to the company's matters. That was why she did not disturb him.She looked down as she tried to figure out everything that happened today. If it were not for Leia, her biological parents would not have gotten injured. Even if the police officers could not figure out what happened, she would not let Leia get away with it easily.Luca looked at the thick bandage around her hand. Matysh was another person whom Luca would not let get away easily either…If Matysh’s men had only injured her, she would wait for
Mandy stood straight and looked at how hilarious Matysh looked when he was so desperate to get Luca. Lust was destructive to men. Matysh thought he had everything under his control when, in fact, he would only be getting himself killed by a woman. Luca was the one who would get him killed.She was in the same boat…Mandy sneered. "Matysh, if you're going to prison with me, which one of us is going to suffer a much greater loss?"Matysh glared at her and asked, “What are you up to?”Mandy picked up her phone on the floor with a cold expression on her face. Her phone was protected by the phone cover. It was still fine after being thrown on the floor. She turned on her phone, pressed the button, and showed Matysh her phone screen. "This is the voice recording of you discussing with those men how to kidnap Luca and how you wanted me to cooperate with you. If this recording falls into the police's hands, you're definitely going to prison. Think about it. I've got nothing to lose. Go
10 minutes later, Mandy came to the ward that Leia told her on the phone earlier. She was startled for a moment when she saw a police officer sitting there. Then, she immediately took two steps backward.After everything that she did, she had the feeling that the police were after her whenever she saw an officer.Mandy pretended that she came to the wrong place. After she left the ward and headed to a quiet place, she gave Leia a call. “What’s going on? Why is there a police officer in your ward?”“He’s here to take my statement. What brings you here?” Leia glanced at the police officer, feeling guilty. Could it be that Luke had already found out something and that was why Mandy came here looking for her in a hurry?"I'm here to give you the money. But there are so many people there. I think it'll be better for me not to enter the ward," replied Mandy. She was afraid she would wear an unnatural expression on her face in front of the police officer and arouse his suspicion. She
Madam Norman paused for a moment, then she said, “I’m not sure about their situation either. I’ve been calling them all morning. No one’s answering the phone. But Leia, you don’t have to worry about your parents. I’m sure they’re going to be fine. Everything will be fine.”Madam Norman specially persuaded her, thinking that Leia must be worried.Leia rolled her eyes. That was pretty helpful.Then, Leia replied, “Grandma, if you happen to know how Dad and Mom are doing, please tell me right away. I’m worried about them.” “Okay, I will. You’re a good child. I’m counting on you to take care of my son and my daughter-in-law,” said Old Madam Norman. She thought Leia was doing her duties as a daughter well.Old Madam Norman had no idea what Leia did to Queenie back then. Jack did not want to piss the elders off, so he deliberately did not mention it. Therefore, Old Master Norman and his wife still adored Leia a lot, especially when they were in such a situation. Old Madam Norman hear
