Chapter 1166 You Can't Tell a Bad Person From Their Face

Rainie was not impressed by Simon's bravado. She turned her head to look at that woman's back and said, "Lanie, I don't think that she's a bad person." "Mm." Lanie was staring at that woman's back too.

Simon saw that his friends were staring at the woman as though they were bewitched. He could not help but mumble, "You can't tell if a person is good or bad from their face." "Shut up, Simon," Rainie said while continuing to stare at the woman.

When it was Luca's turn at the counter, she hastily paid the bill and left without looking at the children again.

She returned to the emergency room with the receipt. After the nurse verified it, she arranged for Amur to be admitted.

Luca looked at Amur lying on the bed. "Are you hungry, Amur? Do you want to eat something?" "I'm not hungry." Amur shook his head. The nurse had told him that he would have to stay in the hospital until they removed his stitches. That would be seven days later, and he did not want to stay there for so long.

"Luca..." he wanted to tell Luca about getting discharged early.

Luca shook her head. "Don't think about leaving so soon. You'll have to listen to the doctor.” "I'm fine. You've studied medicine before, right? My wounds aren't that serious, they're just a little deep," Amur said. He could not get out of the bed in case the movement tore his wounds.

"That doesn't mean that you can be discharged tomorrow. We'll see what happens when your wounds have scabbed over. Also, I can't come to the hospital that often. I'll hire a caretaker for you, and if language is a problem, you can communicate with her through a translation app," Luca said. Their

blood was enhanced with a drug that encouraged scabbing. It would still take three days before he could be discharged.

"Alright." Amur nodded and agreed.

Luca glanced at the medication that the doctor had prescribed him. The drugs encouraged healing and replenished blood levels, and there were also nutritional supplements. With the IV drip, Amur would not feel hungry.

She said, "I'll charge your phone, Amur. You can call me if you need anything." "Alright." Amur blinked. He only troubled Luca because he did not have money.

If he got injured and did not contact her, she would probably think that he had returned to the island after he successfully completed his mission.

Luca walked to the door, but she suddenly turned around and said, "You have to take care of yourself, Amur." "I will." Amur smiled at her.

When Luca left the hospital, she happened to see the Holston family driver leave the hospital with the children. She hid behind a tree and watched the car leave while sighing reluctantly.

Ever since she returned to A City, she had been busy doing Abel's bidding and trying her best to hide from the people she knew.

Other than Luke and Tommy, she did not want to see anyone else.

She was not being cruel, but she did not want to be reluctant to leave them when she would eventually have to.

However, Luca realized that she wanted to see them very much.: owner of this content.

When she thought of that, Luca did not take a cab back to the company. Instead, she went to the Norman residence.

Nothing much changed in A City in the past three years, though the Norman family had some changes.

Two years ago, Jack retired from his post despite being at the peak of his career. He did so to accompany his wife.

Leia was sent overseas on the pretense of furthering her studies, and she had never returned since. Luke played a part in ensuring that she would not be able to return to the country.

Luca had investigated all that before she returned to A City. She also knew that her mother's health had declined after so many ordeals.

"We're here, Miss," the driver told her.

Luca came to her senses. She paid the fare, thanked the driver, and stepped out of the car.

The Norman residence stood in front of her. The gates had not changed, but she could not go in.

To the Normans, she had become a stranger.

Luca sighed. There was no place for her to sit down, so she could only stand under the shade of a tree and hope that she was lucky.

If she was lucky, she might get to see her parents.

Queenie came out of the house. She wore a thin shirt in the warm weather because she was weak, and she held a pair of hand pruners in her hand.

She wanted to prune the roses in the yard.

Jack came out of the house with her and said, "If you're not feeling well, you shouldn't abuse yourself. The gardener will be here in two days." "The flowers will wilt in two days." Queenie smiled and shook her head. Her face was pale. "I’m fine. I'm only pruning the flowers. It won't be too taxing on my body."

Those roses were Bianca's favorite. Bianca might have lost her memories and would not come to visit them, but Queenie wanted to tend to the plants in case Bianca might come over one day.

"Sigh, you never listen," Jack said helplessly. He reached toward her hand pruners and said, "Let me do it." "You don't know how to." Queenie shook her head. Jack might be a good writer and orator, but he had no talent for gardening.

"I can learn. You'll be my teacher, right? I'd like to find something to do," Jack said as they walked across the yard.

"Yes, I know that you've been bored after you've retired. I feel like I've always been a burden to you, Jack." Queenie felt melancholy. If she had

been healthier, Jack would not have retired so soon.

The doctor had said that she needed the accompaniment of her family, and she should not overthink.

When Jack heard that, he submitted his resignation without any hesitation.

Later, someone tried to persuade him to return to his post, but Jack refused.

"Don't say that. I'm getting older, and I can't be as active as before, so it's not surprising that I'm feeling bored. However, I'm happy as long as you're by my side. You're never a burden, Queenie. I'm so lucky to have married you." Jack was not a particularly romantic person, but he could not help but say that when he saw Queenie's graying hair.

Queenie smiled. She felt a warm current flow through her heart.

It was one of the rare times that Jack had bared his heart to her. The seasoned politician had willingly retired to take care of her, and there was nothing else that she could ask for.

Marrying the man was the best decision she had made in her life.
