Leia rolled her eyes and reminded Mandy, “I don't even know what their condition is now. How can I ask for their
help?"
Previously, she would accompany Jack to attend business dinners. Her peers, who used to be close to her,
maintained a distance from her after she was sent abroad and everything she did was exposed.
Hence, Leia only had disreputable friends in A City now. She did not have any upper-class friends.
Those disreputable friends of hers would not head to the police station to find out for her whether or not it was the
same person.
After all, they had nothing to do with this. The only way of getting in was to get arrested after breaking the law.
However, the police station was not a place to stay. Who would be willing to go there? Unless the amount of money
given to that person was enough for them.
"What should we do?" Mandy was frightened at the thought of Matysh getting arrested by the police. She was
worried she might be the next one who would be arrested.
Even though Matysh was arrested because of what happened three years ago, who knew if he would take revenge
on her and reveal the truth of Normans' case? That would get her involved in this. It was hard to tell if Matysh would
do something like that.
"Why don't we hire a private detective?" suggested Leia. Deep down inside, she was nervous.
Matysh was not a reliable person, after all. If he dragged Mandy into this, then Leia would be involved too.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBy the time they got arrested, prison was what awaited them.
Even though it was not a serious offense, she would not have a penny to her name when she came out of prison.
The Norman family, including her grandmother, would refuse to believe her.
"Okay. Can you find one?" asked Mandy.
"I can't go out. Luke is already suspecting me. He might even send someone to keep an eye on me. It has to be
you," said Leia seriously.
"Then..." Mandy hesitated.
"We'll share the costs of the private detective. It'd be best if we can make sure it's really Matysh. If it's, you have to
fly abroad immediately," said Leia.
"What about you?" Mandy thought of her.
"I.." Leia hesitated.
What could she do? Her body was still weak. Luke was keeping an eye on her too. Given the circumstances, it was
unlikely for her to flee the country.
Mandy knew the difficult position she was in and immediately comforted her. “Actually you don't have to worry
about it. Mr. Norman is your father. All you have to do is apologize to him when the time comes. He won't send the
child he raised for more than 20 years to prison, right?"
"Yeah..." replied Leia. Still, she felt uneasy about it.
If she was still the celebrity she used to be or the same person who had never hurt Queenie, Jack might help her
and stop her from getting into prison.
However, it was hard to say now.
Jack was so harsh with her now that he was no longer fond of her.
Still, Leia did not say anything about it.
"Contact the private detective first. Let's talk about it after they find out about it," said Leia as she leaned against
the wall.
"Alright. Be careful when you're at the hospital. Plus, don't be too positive about this. Try to confess and apologize
to your parents as soon as possible," reminded Mandy.
Mandy could flee the country. She could choose not to return to A City for a long time.
However, there was no way Leia could do that.
If Leia escaped, she would not have any medical insurance abroad to treat her weak body. The money she received
from Matysh would not be able to last that long either.
Leia was a mere shadow of her former self after falling ill. She could not be like Mandy, relying on men to earn
money.
"Got it." Leia hung up the call and returned to the wardroom in low spirits.
"Ms. Norman, you're back. Take your meds," said Hadley with a smile on her face.
When Leia saw her smile, she shot Hadley a sharp look and asked, "What's so funny?"
Hadley pretended to be confused, not knowing what she had done to piss Leia off. She touched her face and said,
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Ms. Norman, I heard that smiling is infectious. You catch it like the flu. That's why I should smile often. You'll feel
much better that way. Your health will improve too."
"Dumb*ss." Leia rolled her eyes at Hadley. She picked up the pills and stuffed them into her mouth. Then, she
gulped down some water to flush the bitterness of the medicine away.
The patient could no longer stand it, and she said enigmatically, "Can't others be in a good mood when you're the
one who's in a foul mood? Some people are really bossy."
Leia shot her a dirty look and scowled. "What nonsense are you talking about? Do you want me to kick your *ss?"
The patient pointed at the TV and replied, "I'm talking about the show. Who do you think I'm judging?"
The TV happened to be playing a soap opera. A rich young lady was punishing her maid. It was because the maid
was humming to herself when the young lady was in a bad mood, and it got on her nerves. Leia sneered.
Another patient who was behind the bed curtain said enigmatically, “Some people are real prima donnas. They like
taking things personally. Such a joke."
Leia could no longer stand it. She wanted to lift the bed curtain and fight with her.
"Shut up!" Leia yelled at her.
Hadley was too close to Leia. Leia's saliva was all over her face. She took a step back and replied, "Yes, Miss."
Leia returned to her bed angrily.
Hadley sat on the chair and saw Leia in such a state. She picked up her phone and glanced at the message Rain
sent her. Rain complimented her for doing a great job.
