“Aunt Queenie, good morning.” Luca looked at the experimental equipment not far away from her. She was tired from doing experiments last night and fell asleep on the bed in the maid’s room. Text content © .
“Luca, did I wake you up?” Queenie felt a little bad when she heard Luca’s hoarse voice.
As it was almost in the afternoon, Queenie did not expect that Luca had not woken up yet. Queenie had always been reluctant to disturb others, so she was a little embarrassed to have disturbed Luca’s rest.
“No, I’m already up,” Luca said. She stood up and walked to the experiment table, then put the experimental specimens away.
She was researching the drug from the Island of Despair. However, without the specific drug and only a diluted version on hand, it was a little difficult for her to analyze the ingredients and content.
After she was assigned the additional task, she knew that she had to hurry up and finish her research.
Even if she could not get out of the grasps of the Island of Despair, she hoped that Eler and Amur could.
Luca researched the drug not for herself but it was because Nyla was still on the Island of Despair. She could not be so cruel as to ignore her child just for her happiness.
If she could do that, she would not be the person Luke fell in love with in the first place.
“Mmm.” Queenie glanced at Leia and felt strange. Although there was a distance between them, a familiar feeling arose in her heart every time she heard Luca’s voice. Luca’s voice was soft and gentle. It was similar to Bianca’s voice before she lost her memories…
Luca knew that Queenie called her because something had happened, so she took the initiative to ask, “Aunt Queenie, what’s the matter?”
“It’s about Leia…” Queenie took a deep breath. She had to get Luca’s help on the matter so she jumped straight into the topic. “Her examination reports are out. Do you have time now? I’ll send them over to you. I’d appreciate it if you can help take a look.”
Luca knew that after her reminder, Queenie would take Leia to the hospital for a check-up.
Coupled with the status of the Norman family, the hospital would have provided the test results quickly.
She was well aware of Leia’s condition even though she had not seen the reports.
“Aunt Queenie, it’s better for me to come over to the hospital. Let me know the ward that you’re in,” Luca said. She could not bring herself to ignore Queenie’s request.
Queenie told her Leia’s ward number.
Luca replied, “I’m going over now.”
Leia watched as Queenie ended the call and asked, “What did she say? Is she coming?”
Although she did not want to admit that Luca was capable, Luca found out about her condition just from taking her pulse, so Leia could only pin her hopes on Luca.
That was because the hospital had yet been able to determine the cause.
“She agreed to come. Leia, be mindful of your attitude toward her when she comes later.” Queenie urged her. After all, she had begged Luca to help.
“What’s wrong with my attitude? Mom, aren’t you also suspecting that she’s having an improper relationship with Luke? My attitude is to protect Bianca,” Leia said disdainfully.
“How do you know that?” Queenie frowned.
“I heard what you said to Dad and saw that he went to have a chat with Luke. Ugh, Bianca has a big heart. She left her husband and went abroad to study abroad, giving other women the opportunity to enter his life. Moreover, she knows that you’re not in good health but she still refuses to come back to accompany you. Unlike me, who tried every means to come back just to be by your side as soon as I heard that you’re not in good health,” Leia ranted about everyone.
Queenie felt helpless when she heard what Leia said.
She knew what Leia came back for. However, with Bianca…
She felt helpless about Bianca’s current situation. Queenie did not know what to say when she thought about how Bianca had yet to reply to her text that was sent in the morning.
“Okay, stop with this nonsense. It won’t be good if others hear you,” Queenie reprimanded her with a slightly stern expression.
Her tone was not serious, but from Leia’s point of view, it was clear that Queenie was defending Luca.
Leia felt disdainful toward Luca in her heart. All she did was give Queenie a few packs of medicine and it was enough for Queenie to defend Luca and abandon her, Queenie’s own daughter…
Ugh…
An hour later, Luca arrived at the hospital. Leia had gotten impatient from waiting for her…
When Luca pushed the door and walked in, Leia lowered her gaze and muttered in her heart. ‘She’s moving like a turtle! Ugh, she looks like she’s unwilling to be here…’
It seemed that if Queenie had not asked her, Luca would not have come…
When Queenie saw Luca walk in, she stepped forward to greet her. “Luca, have you had breakfast?”
Luca’s heart felt sour when she saw how eager Queenie was. She assumed that she was doing it because of Leia…
Queenie might be unwilling to see her if Leia was not in poor health.
“I’ve eaten. Where are the examination reports?” Luca asked.
Queenie handed her a thick stack of examination reports. These were all the reports from the examinations that Leia did yesterday. They drew more than 20 tubes of blood, all of which were used for various tests. However, the cause was not mentioned in the stack of reports.
Luca took the reports, and Queenie dragged her to the sofa.
“Come on, don’t stand. Sit,” Queenie said.
Luca sat down and quickly flipped through the reports.
Leia looked at her reading speed and wondered. The speed of the doctor reading the reports earlier was not as fast as Luca’s reading speed.
Luca quickly read the entire stack of reports, glanced at Leia, and then at Queenie.
“What do you think?” Queenie was not sure what to do. After all, Leia had gone through a range of tests but the doctors found nothing.
Luca went straight to the point and asked directly, “Ms. Norman, do you want to talk to me alone, or with Mrs. Norman present?”
Leia looked at her disdainfully and replied, “Why would I want to talk to you alone? If you’re worried about letting others know that you’re incompetent, I can talk to you alone.”
Luca wanted to spare her some dignity but Leia seemed like she did not care. Luca said, “In that case, I’ll get straight to the point. You were overseas before this, right?”
Leia nodded. “Why? Does my illness have something to do with being here and being overseas? It’s the first time I’ve heard of something like this.”
Luca was not bothered by her arrogant attitude. She exposed Leia and said, “It doesn’t, but it has something to do with your lifestyle. Did you have some bad habits when you were abroad?”
Luca knew that the supervision of certain items was very relaxed overseas. Young men and women had the means to access such items when they wanted to have fun.
Leia’s expression changed. “What do you mean… What bad habits?”
“Do you want me to lay it all out?” Luca glanced at Queenie. Her expression was blank as if she did not understand what they were talking about.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about. Even the doctor couldn’t find anything, so why should I trust you? It seems to me that you don’t know what’s going on so you’re just spewing nonsense!” Leia stubbornly said.
