When Leia saw Allison, she thought that Allison was there to see her and there was a burst of joy in her heart. She opened the door and welcomed Allison warmly. "Aunt Allison, why are you here?" Allison used to have a good impression of Leia. After all, she was not only sweet but always brought all kinds of luxuries for her every time she went to see her. However, since the video of her seducing Dr. Hoover was leaked out, her fondness for this woman was gone. After such an accident, she felt that Leia was no longer worthy of her son. Allison walked in and smiled nonchalantly when faced with the overly enthusiastic Leia. "Leia, where's your mother? Is she home?" "My mother is suffering from a neck injury and is resting in her room. Is there anything that I can help you with?" Leia told Allison the truth. She knew that Allison had a bad relationship with her mother and the two had not been in contact for many years. Why would Allison want to see her mother n
Allison's words seemed to hit Queenie's heart like a heavy hammer.Finding her biological daughter was her lifelong ambition.She excitedly grabbed Allison's arm and spoke incoherently, "What... What did you say? Where's my daughter now? Allison, as long as you tell me... my daughter's whereabouts, I guarantee that the projects under your son's company will run normally."Allison frowned unhappily and tried to shake Queenie's hands off. She said unhappily, "Queen, you don't have to be so excited to learn about your daughter's whereabouts, do you? Are you trying to kill me?"Queenie was a little at a loss as she stared at Allison's arm that she had made red. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do that. I just want to know where my daughter is. Please tell me, okay?"Queenie's gentle, charming eyes were currently full of pleading, pity, helplessness, and expectation. It somehow made Allison feel distressed.The two of them had grown up together. Queenie had always been proud and never onc
Hearing the noise, Leia hurried into the room.She saw Queenie falling to the ground in dismay and hitting her head on the bedside table.Some blood oozed from her mother's fair forehead. It looked like she had been hit hard."Mom!" Leia quickly put the tray on the table nearby and carefully helped her mother up from the carpet. She said worriedly, "You're still very weak and can't get out of bed at all. What are you doing out of bed?"Queenie's head was buzzing from the impact, and for a moment, her mind went blank.However, after a few seconds of dizziness, her consciousness gradually became clear.Thinking of what Allison had just said, she struggled to hold on to Leia's body while forcing herself up. She pushed her daughter to the door. "Leia, go stop Aunt Allison. Ask her not to leave first. I have so much to ask her..."Leia was naturally reluctant.She took Queenie's arm and said with concern, "Mom, she's gone. Whatever you need to talk to her about can wait until you've
Wanda leaned back against the pillow with a look of desperation and grief on her face that seemed to have seen through everything.Looking at her niece's overly worried face, she only smiled sadly and gave her a silent shake of the head.Although she had rested for a few days, she still looked like a plant drained of water—lifeless and utterly pale.After she pulled the curtains, Bianca took out a bunch of red grapes from the fruit basket and rinsed them in the water fountain nearby. Then, she carefully picked them one by one and put them into a small fruit container before bringing them to Wanda."Aunt Wanda, have some grapes."Bianca handed her a bright red grape. "I know that your mouth would taste bitter when you’re having an infusion. Eating something a little sweeter can help. I always like to eat some sweet fruits when I'm sick."Wanda could not bear to ignore her niece's kindness. She opened her mouth and swallowed the grape.The sweetness of grape juice washed away the
The hospital.She had no idea if it was because the air conditioning in the room was a little low, but Bianca felt a little chilly.She carefully covered Wanda with the blanket and turned up the temperature of the air conditioner. Then, she sat beside her aunt and quietly watched the woman who had fallen asleep while receiving her infusion.Although Bianca's face seemed calm, she was worried.'How on earth can I persuade Aunt Wanda to have the operation?'While she was lost in thought, the ding of her phone notified her that she had received a few Facebook messages.Worrying that it was about work, Bianca quickly took out her phone and clicked on it. Apart from several notifications that automatically popped up from the Facebook pages she had subscribed to, there was also a message from Queenie.Bianca curiously clicked it and Queenie's message popped up before her.Queenie: [Mrs. Rayne, this is Aunt Queenie. I hope you don't mind me disturbing you. I like the style and design
Linda's office.Leia rushed to her office with her skirt in hand, asking right away, "Linda, how did someone steal my role? Why did the director say that I’ve been replaced when the drama is about to start filming?"Linda looked distressed as well. "How do I know? That's the arrangement from the higher-ups. Leia, you've been causing too much trouble lately! You're too brash..."God knew she thought her career would soar since she was managing an actress who came from a formidable background and status. However, she did not expect that the innocent image she had worked so hard to create for Leia over the years would be ruined by Leia herself. Who could give her an explanation for this?Leia slammed her hand on Linda's desk and looked at her sarcastically. "Brash? I've been low-key enough these days. How am I brash when I've been resting at home for so long? Linda, have you been slacking off? Look at the roles you've gotten me. They're either annoying second female leads or roles in
Luke stared at Bianca's face with a doubtful expression. He could not help but chuckle when he saw how serious she was. He tucked her hair behind her ear and said gently, "You should accept Mrs. Norman's hospitality to you. She's your birth mother after all. It's better than giving you the cold shoulder, isn't it?" He thought that his woman was intelligent, but she could be confused sometimes. Bianca buried her face in his chest and said, "I know that Mrs. Norman is my birth mother, but she doesn't know that I'm her daughter. I'm afraid that I can't control myself if I interact too much with her…" Luke scraped the bridge of her nose with a fingernail and smiled. "Why are you so unconfident about yourself, hmm? You don't have to worry about anything. After all, she…" Before he could finish his sentence, his phone started to ring abruptly. It was an unknown foreign number. Luke answered the call. Someone was panting heavily on the other end of the call as though trying to c
Bianca stood in a daze in front of the window. The scene of Luke's car speeding away replayed in her mind. She felt both sad and angry. She was also aggrieved that the man did not care about her feelings at all. Bianca knew that Gordan had risked a lot when he saved Luke. Not only did Gordan perform plastic surgery on his face, but he had also taken the fall for a crime he did not commit. She knew that Luke was duty-bound to save Gordan, but did he ever spare a thought for him and the children? Gordan might have gone to prison because of Luke, but Luke eventually found a way to free him as well as get the Italian mafia to stop hunting him down. Was that not enough? The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She hugged her knees and buried her red face between her legs. Even though she was angry, she could not help but feel worried. What if something really happened to him? The caretaker saw that Bianca was in a bad mood. She put the vacuum cleaner in her ha
