Leia did not care about her body’s indicators because she did not understand the reports.

All she could think about was whether she could go for a transplant.

After she found out that she was ill, she started her research and found a lot of information. Many data showed that those who were like her in the later stage of the disease would usually choose to go for a transplant operation to save their lives. In modern science, such transplant operations had been done many times. Most patients could survive.

As such, Leia planned to go forward with this plan.

After Johann finished explaining, she asked, "Dr. Park, I'm in such poor health now. Can I join the queue for an organ transplant?"

Johann was startled. ‘She wants to wait for an organ transplant?’

"Yes, Dr. Park. I know that many patients can lead normal lives again after going for a transplant. Leia is still so young, and it’s sad that this disease will trouble her for the rest of her life. Can you put her in line for an organ transplant? That’ll give her a chance of having a more comfortable life," Queenie chimed in.

Johann refused, saying, "Our country's medical system has certain evaluation standards for patients waiting for organ transplants. Based on Ms. Norman's current situation, although her indicators are not the best, as long as she takes her medicine and recuperates, the symptoms can still be managed. She doesn’t meet the requirements."

Leia was disappointed when she heard that.

If she could not go for an organ transplant, she had to take medicine for the rest of her life. She had to take such a bitter concoction every day and would not be allowed to go anywhere. She could not drinkThis content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

nor travel...

An idea popped up in her mind when she heard Johann say that she did not qualify to wait for a transplant in her current situation.

Queenie asked, "Is there no other way?"

"Actually, a transplant is used as a last resort when there’s no other way. Although the operation is common in the domestic medical field, there are still plenty of various situations that can occur. As long as the treatment is followed through, Ms. Norman can still live like a normal person. Don't overthink it. I'll do my best to help you," Johann said. He saw Leia's wandering eyes as though she was thinking about something.

He was suspicious about what she was thinking about at this moment since Luke had reminded him about it prior. However, he did not expect her to want to go for a transplant.

After Johann left, Leia sat up and looked at the machine on the bedside, then at the needle on the back of her hand. She made a decision that she could not live like this for the rest of her life!

She took Queenie's hand and burst into tears.

Queenie was overwhelmed by her cries. She held her in her arms as her heart ached. She comforted Leia in a soft voice, saying, "Okay, don't cry. Everything will be fine. If you keep crying like this, I'll be sad too."

Leia's voice was hoarse, and she said with tears in her eyes, "Mom, why is fate so unfair to me? The man I like doesn't like me and bad things keep happening to me. In the end, I was exiled abroad. Others think that I lived a glamorous life abroad, but that wasn't the case at all. The living expenses Dad gave me weren’t enough for me in New York so I had to work part-time day and night. My body

was ruined because of that. The doctor said that I can’t be cured. I'm a good-for-nothing. What's the point, then? It's better for me to die!"

When Queenie heard that, she immediately reassured her. "Leia, don't say that. I’ll help you find a way. I won't let you live like this for the rest of your life. Don't worry, I’ll definitely find the best doctor to treat you."

"Mom, do you really want me to recover?" Leia raised her gaze and looked at Queenie with tears in her eyes. She was an actress. Even though she had retired for many years, she could still act. At that moment, she wanted Queenie to promise to help find her a suitable organ. Hence, she pretended to be miserable.

"Yeah, as your mother, how can I let you suffer? You’re my precious daughter. Don't worry. Even if I have to travel all over the country, I’ll find a way to cure you." Queenie took out a tissue and slowly wiped her tears.

Seeing that Queenie was distressed, Leia felt a little bad. Since she had achieved her goal, she said, "I have a friend who said that human organs are sold on the black market and can be bought as long as you have the money. I was in New York for the past few years. All the money I earned there was used to support my day to day and I have no extra money to buy organs for my surgery. I have to get better soon and work to earn money so that I can afford the organs I need.”

Queenie listened to her plan with a shocked expression. 'She wants to buy organs on the black market for a transplant?’

Although she was not familiar with the law, she knew that black market transactions were not allowed in the country. However, the profits were tempting, so even if there were various crackdowns and bans, there were still people who were willing to take risks to make a profit.

"Leia, it's illegal." Queenie reminded her.

Tears fell from Leia's eyes again as she uttered, "I know, but I have no other choice."

"Your father will suffer if you go through with this plan." Queenie thought of Jack, who had always been law-abiding and honest. If others found out that Leia illegally bought organs on the black market, he would definitely suffer the consequences.

"I know, Mom. You don't have to worry about this. I don't plan to use Dad's money, so even if someone finds out, Dad won't be implicated. I need to take care of my body and then go back to work to earn money. Don't worry, I’ll be strong." Leia changed her tactics and tried to confuse Queenie into thinking that she did not want to drag the Norman family or Jack down.

Although she had wronged Queenie and the Norman family before, Queenie still loved her all the same. Naturally, she did not want to see Leia suffer.

Queenie sighed.

'How can I let Leia suffer?' Disregarding the part where she could drag their family down, Leia would face difficulties in finding a job in her current situation. Furthermore, there was also Luke to take into consideration...'

"Don't overthink this. I'll help you find a way," Queenie said.

Seeing that Queenie had been sucked into her ploy, Leia lowered her gaze and flashed a smug look...

"No need, Mom. This is my body. I'm grateful enough that you raised me for the last 20 plus years. Now that I'm all grown up, I should be responsible for my actions. You don't have to help me; I'll help myself." Leia still objected as she knew that the more she objected, the more Queenie would be reluctant to see her be in pain.

Queenie shook her head and patted Leia's head. Although they were not related by blood, she still loved her very much.

"Let's not talk about this for now. The most important thing now is to improve your indicators so you can go home to recuperate." She soothed Leia with worried eyes.

Although she felt that it was wrong to buy organs from the black market, she was struggling internally with the matter.

If they were careful, perhaps it would not be impossible. The Norman family was not short of money. Leia was sick, and the most important thing was to find a cure for her.
