“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 cooperate. This ward needs to be disinfected as soon as
possible because another patient will be admitted later."
The nurse threw away the fruit and whispered, "Ms. Norman, I'll pack your things. You can go downstairs with the
nurse first."
"Shut up!" Leia sat on the hospital bed. Never in a million years would she have thought that Jack would punish her
like this.
The nurse shut her mouth embarrassedly.
The head nurse said, "Nurse Lyon, send Ms. Norman to the ward downstairs first and have the ward assistant help
carry all of these down."
"Okay." The nurse who was called stepped forward to assist Leia.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLeia sat on the bed motionless.
The nurse had no choice but to say, "Ms. Norman, sitting here won't solve the problem. Another patient had already
booked this ward of yours. If you have other needs, you can have Mr. Norman talk to the people at the hospital."
Leia knew that even if she insisted on staying here, she would be sent down and forced to cooperate.
Plus, she could not stay here even if she pretended to faint.
Jack really had no mercy as if he wanted her to die!
Leia got out of bed and sat in the wheelchair with the help of the nurse.
Nurse Lyon was worried that she would cop out, so she quickly pushed the wheelchair to the hepatobiliary surgery
department. Then, she gave her a bed and went through some formalities.
Afterward, the ward assistant arrived and placed her things in the cabinet.
Leia was in a double room, and a middle-aged woman was on the other bed.
She looked around the ward and was clearly not used to it.
From the VIP ward to the double ward, this drop was unacceptable to her, just like when she was in New York.
She took the money Jack gave her and rented a high-class apartment. When the money was almost gone, she
realized that it was her living expenses for half a year.
Hence, she could only sell off her valuable items to keep her afloat.
At the same time, she was evicted by her landlord for not paying rent.
She went from living in a fancy apartment to living in the slums with several other people.
The feeling of dropping to such lows brought back her memories of when she was in New York. The helplessness,
the fear, and her hatred for Jack!
When she poisoned Queenie, she should have poisoned Jack as well. She should not have kept him healthy.
The reason why she had mercy on Jack was that she needed a father who was a government official.
Plus, without Jack, the Norman family would have no income.
Therefore, she showed him mercy and only took out her anger on Queenie.
Now, Leia regretted her decision.
If Jack was dead, then everything in the Norman family would be hers. Who would be able to lay a finger on her
then?
After the ward assistant tidied everything up, she said, “Ms. Norman, would you like to have some fruit now?"
"I want to beat you up right now." Leia glared at the ward assistant to express her resentment.
The ward assistant was taken aback by her terrifying glare, so she quickly said, "It's noon. I'll go outside and buy
some food for you. If anything happens, you can call me."
After saying that, she hastily ran away.
The middle-aged woman lying on the bed beside her thought that Leia was in a bad mood because she was sick, so
she spoke up, "Girl, what kind of disease did you get at such a young age?"
"What do you care?" Leia rolled her eyes at her and pulled the curtain.
How noisy. Everything here was not to her liking.
"How could you say that?" The person taking care of the woman got upset and wanted to argue with Leia.
The middle-aged woman instantly waved her hand, signaling her to stop.
In Norman Residence.
After ending the call with Leia, Queenie sat down for a while, but she still felt stuffy and uncomfortable.
The maid handed her a glass of warm water. “Mrs. Norman, are you still not feeling well? Why don't I take you to
the hospital?"
"It's fine, I'm not sick." Queenie shook her head. Although her chest was uncomfortable, she knew that it was
because of Leia.
"If anything happens, Mr. Norman will blame me. Why don't you take some painkillers?" the maid said. Queenie did
not look very well just now, so she went up to her and asked, only to find out that her chest was feeling
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmuncomfortable.
However, she was in the kitchen the whole time, so she was not aware that it was caused by Leia.
"Fine, bring them to me. I'll have some," said Queenie. She felt really uncomfortable. Perhaps it was because she
got too angry.
"Okay." The maid nodded and took out the painkillers from the medicine box.
The medicine box was well-equipped as Luca had written a note about the medicines to keep on hand.
She shook out some pills and handed them to Queenie. "Luca requested for this specific brand of painkillers to keep
on hand because she said it's the most effective, but it's a little bitter. You can't swallow the pills all at once and
have to put the pills under your tongue first."
When Luca was mentioned, Queenie felt even guiltier.
She prepared all the necessary medicines for her family and even promised to help her, but Leia was so hostile to
her.
Leia's words were so mean that she even made such a kind-hearted person toss the medical records aside and
leave.
Queenie felt bad as she was the one who asked Luca for help, but all Leia did was piss her off...
After getting the painkillers, she kept them under her tongue.
The bitter taste instantly filled her mouth, and she frowned.
The maid whispered a reminder, "Make sure you keep them there."
Queenie nodded, indicating she understood.
She was the type of person who hated bitter-tasting foods. When she had to drink bitter tonic, Jack would always
bring over a piece of candy before he could make her drink it.
After marrying him, she had always been pampered in this household, so she never had a reason to get angry.
Even though Jack had a bad temper, he had never let her suffer. However, as Leia grew older, she gradually felt
that life was not as sweet anymore.
