"Was it Leia who opened the door for them?" Queenie was stunned as she watched the video footage. Then, she
glanced at the time shown in the image.
Her face turned pale white. She looked up at Luke to ask for his confirmation.
"Yes." nodded Luke.
Queenie shook her head, refusing to believe what she just saw. While Leia had hurt her before, she promised she
would never do it again.
They must stay together as a family.
However, as Luke showed her the video, showing her that the alarm was not triggered because Leia had welcomed
them in.
Not only was Leia trying to harm Luca, but she intended to hurt both of them too.
"How could it be Leia..." mumbled Queenie.
"The police have the surveillance footage on the day of the incident, but it's different from this one," uttered Luke,
observing Queenie's reaction attentively. "The surveillance footage that the police have has been doctored. Rain
noticed the footage on that day was the exact same as the days before. Even the sprouts were moving at the same
frequency. That was why she suspected that the clip had been doctored."

"Some surveillance clips remain in the computer case taken from Norman's residence. If Leia forgot to close the
door, there's no need to delete this part from the footage." Luke wanted Queenie to face the truth.
Queenie was not a fool, but she was too soft-hearted. She refused to believe her daughter, the apple of her eye,
would cross the line again.
Queenie pursed her lips. She thought about what Luke said to them.
She was reluctant to face it, knowing that the daughter she had brought up would actually do such a ridiculous
thing.
"Call the police," instructed Jack.
Queenie did not say anything.
Luke spoke with a cold expression on his face, "We don't have enough evidence." Jack frowned. He initially thought
of teaching Leia a lesson while Queenie was drowning in disappointment.
“Continue to look for evidence. This is outrageous. She even wanted to harm us. I must teach her a lesson this
time!" Jack gripped Queenie's hand tight. At the same time, he was telling Queenie that he would not let Leia get
away with this easily.
"Dear," sighed Queenie.
Everyone in the wardroom turned to look at her.
Queenie let go of Jack's hand. She rose to her feet. Then, she staggered.
The caretaker beside her was fast to help Queenie up. "Mrs. Norman, are you alright?"
Johann immediately came forward. "Mrs. Norman, let's get you to bed. Let me check on you."
Queenie shook her head. "I lost my balance. Don't worry."
Luca pursed her lips. It broke her heart to see Queenie in such a state.
"Luca." Queenie turned to look at Luca and saw the worried look in her eyes. She felt inexplicably upset. Why was
her daughter not Luca, but Leia?
It was Leia who poisoned her, opened the door, and wanted her dead.
"Mrs. Norman, go and sit on the bed." Luca stepped forward to help her.
Queenie, who initially refused to get back onto the bed, acquiesced and returned to her bed with Luca's help.
"Luca, I'm sorry," apologized Queenie.
"Mrs. Norman, you didn't do anything wrong." Luca shook her head. It was Leia and Matysh who worked together to
plot against her. It was not her fault.
"No. It's my fault for bringing up such an evil child. I was wrong to listen to her. It was also my mistake to ask you to
come to the Norman Residence to nurse her health. Luca, I've made a big mistake. I'm sorry. The Norman family
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmowes you one," apologized Queenie, but this time, she was no longer apologizing on behalf of Leia.
There was a faint smile on Johann's face. He was wrapping the blood pressure cuff around Queenie's arm when he
heard that.
When Johann was treating Queenie these days, what he saw the most was Queenie's good temper and how much
she adored Leia.
Most of the time, Queenie was the one who apologized on behalf of Leia when she scolded the doctors.
This time, Queenie personally apologized to Luca because of what she did. Johann thought that she had finally
made some progress.
At least, Queenie did not have to stoop so low and kneel for Leia's sake.
It proved that her state of mind had changed because of the incident.
"Mrs. Norman..." Luca felt a lump in her throat. She had no idea what Leia was thinking about.
Queenie was a good mother. She did not fail as a mother.
When a child becomes an adult, one's parents would no longer determine who they would become. Therefore,
Queenie did not have to bear any responsibility for how Leia ended up like this.
“Her blood pressure is normal. The heart rate is normal too. Go on." said Johann suddenly, cutting through the
sadness lingering in the air between the two of them.
Luca sniffed.
