The middle-aged woman who was mocked by Leia earlier thought what the caretaker said made sense.
The caretaker was only doing her job, and she did not mock them. Therefore, she said, “She went out with a
disreputable-looking woman. They're probably talking about something others shouldn't be listening to. That's why
they went looking for a quiet place to talk."
"Thank you." The caretaker immediately picked up the bag filled with a few water bottles and went looking for Leia
based on what the middle-aged woman had told her. She eventually saw Leia and Mandy at the end of the corridor
in the hospital.
Even though Mandy was wearing a mask, the caretaker had memorized the faces of the people who often
appeared around Leia before she came here. That was why she recognized Mandy with just a glance.
She was the woman who was with Matysh.
It seemed like what the middle-aged woman said was true. Their conversation had to be kept secret.
The caretaker pretended to be anxious and headed in their direction. "Ms. Norman."
Leia turned around and glanced at the caretaker when she heard her voice. She pulled a long face and explained to
Mandy, "She's the caretaker my grandma sent."
"Oh." Mandy nodded. She had said what she wanted to say to Leia, so she did not think that the caretaker's
appearance was a big deal. Then, she watched the caretaker walk toward them and size her up.
"Ms. Norman, I got you the water you wanted." The caretaker deliberately breathed heavily as though she was in a

"What took you so long? Are you trying to make me die from dehydration?" Leia raged.
"I'm sorry. It was crowded in the supermarket." The caretaker handed a bottle of water to Leia.
"How am I supposed to drink this if you don't open the bottle cap for me?" Leia did not take the water bottle from
her. "I wonder what made Grandma send you here. How dumb."
"I'm sorry." The caretaker unscrewed the bottle cap and handed Leia the water bottle.
"That's better," mumbled Leia. She noticed that the caretaker stood there stiffly without thinking of handing a bottle
of water to Mandy. Then, Leia added, "Haven't you noticed that I have a visitor here? Aren't you supposed to hand
her a bottle of water too?" "Oh, okay." The caretaker immediately nodded, unscrewed another bottle of water, and
handed it to Mandy. "Miss, have some water please."
Mandy took the water bottle from her and turned to look at Leia. “Okay, I guess that's all for today. I'll visit you
again some other day." "Okay. Be careful when you're on your way home." Leia treated Mandy so much better due
to the money she received.
After Mandy left, Leia was constantly rolling her eyes at the caretaker, and she had no intention of returning to the
ward.
It annoyed Leia when she was reminded of the two middle-aged women who spoke ill of her behind her back.
"Ms. Norman, aren't you going back? It's almost time for your IV drip," said the caretaker. She happened to see the
nurses at the nurses' station mixing the IV solutions, and one of them mentioned Leia's name when she walked out
of the elevator.
"Why are you rushing me? Can't you just let me take another sip of water?" Leia took a sip of water and threw the
half-full water bottle into the trash bin right away.
The caretaker saw what Leia did and quietly shook her head behind her. What a waste.
If she were to continue to pretend to be a caretaker to keep an eye on Leia, she would be at a loss for words...
Leia slowly walked back to the ward. When she entered the ward, the woman on the first ward bed smiled and
asked, "Did you manage to get your water?"
Leia let out a snort and ignored her.
The caretaker replied, "Yes, would you like to have some?"
"I can't afford to drink such expensive water." The patient on the first ward bed immediately rejected the offer.
Leia replied in an enigmatic manner, "Glad that you're aware of that. These bottles of water can probably cover the
cost of a day's meals for you."
The expression on the patient's face turned sullen when she heard that.
The caretaker pretended like nothing had happened as she placed the water bottles in the cabinet. She was
secretly complaining and asking why her boss assigned her such a mission.
The other patients were considered kind and good-tempered. If it were not for her being on a mission now, she
might have slapped Leia in the face if she said such things to her.
She would not have cared whose daughter she was!

It was already six o'clock in the evening. Jack and Queenie woke up feeling confused and foggy a few times, but
before they could say anything much, they would fall asleep again because of the medication's effects.
Luca knew what it felt like to have a concussion. It felt awful.
Luca truly wanted to share her parents' pain and burden when she saw how much they were going through.
Luca let out a sigh while staring at the couple on their ward bed.
"Let's go home." As Luke watched Jack fall asleep again, he turned around and said to Luca.
Jack had woken up earlier and asked how Queenie was doing. Then, he asked for the time.
The last sentence he said was to ask Luke and Luca to go home earlier.
"Okay." Luca nodded.
The Norman family's maid had finished giving her statement in the afternoon, and she hurried over to the hospital
to take care of Jack and Queenie. Luca rose to her feet and said to the maid, "If anything happens to Mr. and Mrs.
Norman, please call me immediately no matter what time it is."
"Okay, Ms. Craw. Don't worry. I'll take good care of Mr. and Mrs. Norman." The maid nodded.
"Don't forget what I've told you," Luke reminded her.
Luke told the maid not to tell Leia or any outsiders about Mr. and Mrs. Norman's situation.
Although the maid found it strange, she promised Luke not to tell the others. Besides, she would never tell Leia
about it even if she threatened her.
