“It was my request." admitted Jack, clearing his throat. “On the first day we were admitted to the hospital, I woke
up and asked Dr. Park not to let her in. I was worried she'd disturb you."
“Dear, you knew Leia had something to do with this on the first day, didn't you?" speculated Quennie.
“Yes." nodded Jack. “That's why I asked them to stop her from coming in. I was worried she'd continue to hurt you."
Queenie let out a long, deep sigh. “I understand. I'll leave this to you."
Jack and Luke exchanged glances with each other.
Queenie seemed to have dealt with it better than they had expected.
“I'm tired," said Queenie.
Luke nodded. He had told her everything and told her everything she should have known too.
“Have a good rest. We're leaving." Luke turned to look at Luca.
"Drive safe." Jack walked them to the wardroom door and watched them leave, only then did he turn around to look
at Queenie, who was lost in her thoughts.
Queenie appeared to be calm in front of Luke and Luca before, but as her husband, Jack knew her well.
“I'm getting off work. Rest well," said Johann, leaving the room too.
After Johann left, Queenie turned to the caretaker, “You don't have to stay here tonight. Go back and rest."
“Mrs. Norman..." The caretaker hesitated.

the caretaker.
“Sure. Mr. Norman, Mrs. Norman, rest well." The maid left the wardroom and closed the door.
There were only the two of them left in the wardroom.
“Queen, are you mad?" asked Jack. After all, there were so many things he kept from her.
Jack promised her that he would never lie on the day he married her.
However, he had been hiding many things from her for her own good.
There was Leia's matter, and Bianca's.
“Dear, you did it for me, right?" There was sadness in Queenie's eyes. She tried so hard to be calm in front of the
others, but she could no longer stay calm in front of the man she loved the most.
"Yes. There's so much I didn't tell you. They're for your own good. Queen, you shouldn't worry so much." Jack
walked toward her and wrapped his arms around her shoulder.
Queenie rested her head on his shoulder. "In the end, I've failed as a mother. I've never thought of harming Leia,
but Leia... Forget about it. I'll leave it to you, and I'll cooperate with you all."
Now, she had finally understood why Jack refused to leave the hospital.
It was because the VIP wardroom could hide them well, shielding their condition from the eyes of others. Leia could
not come in here. She could only wait anxiously.
The move that Jack and Luke had made was a big but smart one.
"Queen, everything will be fine." Jack knew what Queenie had in mind. Only Luca could make Queenie feel better
now.
He hoped Luke would settle all these troubles soon. Then, Luca could confess her true identity and come back to
them.
"I hope so," replied Queenie. Something came across her mind and she turned to look at him, "Is there something
else you're still hiding from me?"
"Yes." nodded Jack. "But I promise I'll tell you in the future."
"Alright. You must tell me after everything's settled." Queenie knew there must be a reason why Jack chose not to
tell her.
Queenie was not as capable as they were. The only thing she could do was to not cause any more trouble.
Hence, Jack chose to hide these from her to stop her from overthinking.
She understood.
On the other hand.
After Luke and Luca left the hospital, they did not head home right away. Instead, he sat in the driver's seat and
asked Luca, "Would you like to have supper?"
"Huh?" Luca was surprised. Luke did not have the habit of having supper back then. "Are you hungry?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"I didn't have enough for dinner." Luke made an excuse. It was not that he did not have enough, but he wanted to
spend some time alone with her.
It was a rare opportunity.
The maid was looking after the kids. They did not have to rush back home. Thus, they should seize the chance to
spend some time together.
"Are you craving anything?" Luca picked up her phone and opened the map. She wanted to see if there was
anything they could eat nearby.
"Let me see." Luke paused for a moment. The first thing that came into his mind was Luca's homemade burger.
However, the kids were not in bed yet. If they went back home, it would not be only the two of them.
Not to mention Lanie and Rainie, Tommy was the clingiest one among the three of them.
Luca looked at the recommendations on her phone, "There's a French restaurant in front of us. I heard that the
food there tasted good. Why don't we give it a try?"
"Sure." nodded Luke and took Luca's phone from her to see where the location was. Then, he drove in the direction
of the French restaurant.
After they parked the car, the two of them walked into the French restaurant.
Many people were dining in the restaurant.
