CHAPTER 2239 USED TO BE HER LITTLE SWEETHEART

Many people were willing to donate their livers, after all.

The liver was unlike any other organ such as the human heart. For a heart, the doctors would have to wait until the donor passed away. Only then was there a chance for the organ transplant to take place.

The most difficult thing for Leia now was that she was unable to ask anyone for help.

“I hope so..." Queenie wiped her tears away.

Luca noticed that Leia’s eyelids were moving, so she reminded Queenie, “Ms. Norman is probably waking up soon.”

“Really?” Queenie shifted her gaze and looked at Leia, who was on the ward bed. Her eyeballs seemed to be moving under her eyelids. After a while, Leia opened her eyes.

“Leia, you're awake! Let me call the doctor.” Queenie quickly wiped away the tears on her face and pressed the call bell.

It seemed like Leia was feeling unwell. She frowned and looked at Queenie, “Why are you here?” "You smoked yesterday, and something happened to you. Do you still remember? The hospital called your father in the middle of the night and said you needed to be sent into the emergency room. You were dying. We were terrified. That's why we came. Fortunately, Dr. Park saved you from dying. Leia, you scared the life out of me." Queenie babbled on. It broke her heart to see Leia's weak and pale face.

If she could, she would rather bear the pain for Leia.

Leia listened to Queenie’s story. She did not remember much, and she could only remember that she felt a sudden, intense spike of pain in her body while she was asleep last night. After she woke the caretaker, she lost consciousness.

Then, she woke up seeing Queenie and Luca here...

Leia hated Luca. She had this feeling that Luca came to take everything away from her. Hence, she always had a hostile look on her face when she looked at her.

Leia ignored the tears on Queenie's face. She looked at Luca and asked, “Why are you here?”

“Luca came to perform dry needling on you. You couldn't wake up after being rescued. Your body was too weak, so—"

Before Queenie could finish her words, Johann pushed the door open and came in. There was an anxious expression on his face at first, but when he realized that Leia was awake, he turned to look at Luca and complimented her, “She's awake. Dr. Craw, your dry needling skills are miraculous!” “It's just a coincidence,” Luca replied in a calm voice while noticing the disgusted look on Leia's face. "Dr. Park, please take a look at the patient.”

Johann slowly walked toward Leia. He looked at her and checked on her. Then, he said to Queenie, “There's not much we can do now except to wait for the liver transplant. As long as she doesn't get herself into trouble and cooperates with the doctors during her treatment, there won't be any serious problems for the time being. But...”

He paused for a moment.

Color drained from Queenie’s face when Johann paused, “Dr. Park, but what?”

“But if she wants to stay alive and wait for a suitable liver donor, other than cooperating with the doctors for the treatment, she has to break her bad habits such as smoking and drinking... Especially smoking. Not even secondhand smoking is allowed.” Johann looked at Leia. There was a hint of disdain in his eyes.

Leia knew what he was talking about. There was a sharp pain on the back of her hand when she clenched her fists and tugged the needle on it.

She loosened her grip without making any explanations.

After all, she was caught red-handed by the nurse when she was smoking with Mandy. There was no point in explaining.This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

“Thank you, Dr. Park. Leia knows it now. I'll leave the matter of the liver transplant to the hospital.” Queenie thanked him and asked Johann to watch closely if there was any suitable liver for Leia. “There's nothing much I can do for you. After all, it's a national transplant waiting list. There's no way Ms. Norman can cut the line with just one word from me. As it stands now, it's almost Ms. Norman's turn.” Johann was not afraid that Leia would be mad at him. He continued to ridicule her. After all, Leia was the one who put her head in a noose.

While Leia listened to Johann's mockery, she looked down and said disrespectfully, “I need to rest. And I'd like unrelated people to get the hell out of here.”

“Leia!” Queenie felt awkward. She did not expect Leia to be so rude.

Luca knew Leia was talking about her. She headed to the sofa, picked up her briefcase, and said, "Mrs. Norman, I shall leave since Ms. Norman is awake now."

“Luca, please stay for a little longer.” Queenie tried to make her stay.

“I have work to do. Goodbye, Mrs. Norman. Ms. Norman, get well soon.” Luca left the ward before Leia could say anything.

Luca knew Leia would always hate her no matter how she looked and what her identity was. Johann said, "Since Ms. Norman is fine now, I'm going to hand her over to the doctor who's on duty in the morning and get off work. Mrs. Norman, you can text me if anything happens.”

“Alright. Thank you, Dr. Park.” After Queenie watched Johann leave, she took her phone out and informed Jack that Leia had woken up.

"Why are you still here?” Although Leia was feeling sick and weak, she was still mad at Queenie. Queenie knew why Leia was behaving like that. She let out a sigh and said, “Leia, aren't you tired? I'll stay by your side. Get some rest.”

"Ask the caretaker to come back here. I'll be fine with her here. Otherwise, Daddy is going to blame me for making you tired. If he gets mad at me, he might not even pay the medical bills for me,” Leia stared at the ceiling and said in an enigmatic tone.

It hurt Queenie’s heart when she heard what Leia said.

Leia was blaming them for not giving her the money to look for a liver transplant....

"Leia, you've just recovered a little. Can you stop being mad at me?" Queenie was heartbroken. Her daughter used to be a good and obedient child. She was the apple of her eyes and her little sweetheart. How did she end up like this?

“Mad at you? You both want me dead! You refuse to give me the money for the liver! That's why you don't feel sorry for me no matter what happens to me in the hospital. Why should I be mad at you? Maybe you wish that I can die and be gone for good. You still have another daughter, after all.” Leia felt breathless after talking. She closed her eyes and stopped looking at Queenie.

Leia had already found a liver for liver transplant through illicit trades. They were waiting for her to pay them.

The liver was unlike other organs in the human body. The person who sold the liver could survive without the liver in their body.

Jack and Queenie had talked about it, but they refused to give her the money.

Leia knew they had the money. It was just that they did not want to give it to her...

They wanted her dead. That way, she would not leave a stigma on her family.

Tears flowed down Queenie’s eyes when she saw Leia refusing to communicate with her. She could not help but sob in a soft voice. “I know you're blaming me and your father, but it's something against the law. We can't just sit here and watch you do something like that. Don't worry, I promise I'll save your life.”

Leia thought Queenie was bragging and ignored her.

Queenie was heartbroken to see Leia behaving like this. She had no choice but to ask the caretaker to come over and take care of Leia. Then, she left the ward. Otherwise, Leia would be angry at her if she kept seeing her in the ward.
