Luca thought of putting up with Leia and letting her say anything she wanted.

However, she could no longer stand it.

Luca put the medical records back to where they were. She stared at Leia with a cold expression on her face, “Ms. Norman, I came late, but I didn't expect the car would break down while I was on my way here. If you think I'm wasting your time, I shall leave."

Queenie frowned. She quickly grabbed Luca's hand and said, "Luca, don't mind her. Leia has a bad temper..."

Luca turned to glance at Queenie, then looked at Leia again.

What she said just now managed to shut Leia's mouth, but Leia was unconvinced. She turned her face away, refusing to look at Luca.

"I think Ms. Norman is doing well. Just follow the hospital's instructions for the post-op procedures. Mrs. Norman, I'm sorry. There's nothing I can do to help her. Even if I can, she has a problem with me. If I were to prescribe medicine for her, she'll secretly throw the medicine away just like she did the last time. It's getting late. I'm not going to stay here and bother Ms. Norman anymore," Luca pulled her hand back. She was about to leave the ward.

"Luca, please don't mind her words.." Queenie felt irritated.

Queenie did not think Luca was wrong. She thought it was Leia's fault.

Even if Luca's car did not break down and she came here late on purpose, Leia should not have said something like that.

"Mrs. Norman, Ms. Norman is an adult. If she's unwilling to, I'd better not stay here and get in her hair," Luca pushed the door open and left after that.

Leia was left dumbfounded as she watched Luca leave. She could not believe that Luca left like that just to express her dissatisfaction with her.

Luca was supposed to show respect to Queenie, right?

Leia turned around and looked at Queenie who was upset and annoyed.

"Leia, why did you say those things to her? I was finally able to ask Luca to come here and nurse your health. But you pissed her off without thinking about the situation. You were rude to her. Is that how I taught you?" Queenie could no longer suppress her emotions and blamed Leia for stepping over the line.

Leia had driven Luca away this time. It would be difficult for Queenie to ask Luca to come over and nurse Leia's health the next time.

Although Leia's vital signs were stable now, who would know what would happen next?

Leia's attending physician and Johann told her that she was stable for the time being, but there would be changes in the future depending on her lifestyle and habits. That was why she would have to come back for follow-ups and nurse her health.

“It's her honor to come here and nurse me. Mom, you'd better get it right. She's the one who's acting like a diva." Leia refused to take responsibility for her misbehavior.

"Leia, how can you say that? You're getting more and more unreasonable," Queenie was disappointed. She felt sorry for Luca too.

"Hah, you think Luca's the best. Let me tell you, things aren't as simple as they seem. Perhaps she's in a hurry to go back to get onto Luke's bed!" Leia mocked. Her heartbeat was slightly faster as she was annoyed.

Queenie noticed the vital signs on the monitor and calmed herself down a little. She dared not to refute her anymore. "Fine. Stop talking nonsense. It's getting late. Get some rest."

"I'm telling the truth, but you refuse to believe me. Everyone knows about it except for you and Bianca," Leia yelled at her.

"Leia!" Queenie glowered at her. "What's wrong with you?"

"You're my mother, not Luca's. You don't have to speak up for her." Leia jeered, "Others will think that Luca's your illegitimate daughter."

Slap! A loud slap sounded after Leia finished talking.

Queenie's palm fell right on Leia's face. All content is property © .

The loud, ringing slapping sound in her ears made Queenie come back to her senses. She looked at Leia, whose face was turned away. Her cheek was burning red. Queenie did not expect that she would lose control and slap Leia in her face.

Queenie took a step back. She seldom scolded and hit Leia since she was young as she could not bear to do so.

However, what Leia said today was way too ridiculous. She secretly thought that Luca did not deserve to be judged like this, and that was why she slapped Leia.

The slap turned Leia's face away. She could feel the burning sensation on her cheek, then she sneered and looked at Queenie resentfully.

How dare Queenie slap her for someone else...

"Get out of here!" Leia pointed at the door.

Queenie looked at Leia for a while with a complicated expression on her face. She spoke slowly, "Leia —"

"I never want to see you again!" There was hatred in Leia's eyes. She was not treating Queenie as her mother.

Queenie had no choice but to leave when she saw that Leia's heartbeat and blood pressure were increasing. If she stayed here any longer, Leia's vital signs would take a drastic turn.

Leia took a few deep breaths after Queenie left.

She picked up the phone she left on the bedside table and looked at the phone screen with a gloomy face.

It was a spare phone. She had left it on video call after dinner.

"Why did you piss her off?" Matysh, who was on the other end of the video, was dissatisfied. After knowing that Luca would be going to the hospital to nurse Leia's health, he requested a video call just to see Luca and satisfy his longing for her.

However, before Matysh could see her long enough, Leia pissed her off by saying harsh things to her.

Although he had no idea what they were talking about, he could see that Luca was mad from the expression on her face.

“She gave me an attitude, so why couldn't I do that too?” Leia rolled her eyes. Luca was just a woman. Why was she so popular?

Luke defended her, Queenie let her have her way, and even Matysh wanted her.

She was merely a woman.

“Leia, she's not going to come here again if you behave like that.” Mandy, who was beside Matysh, spoke in English.

Matysh could not understand what she was talking about, but Leia could. How could she ask for Luca's help if she offended her and pissed Queenie off?

If she could not ask Luca to come over, that would mean Leia would not be able to help Matysh.

Leia frowned. What Mandy said made her panic.

If Luca was truly mad at her and refused to come again, the chances of getting Luca alone would be fewer.

Matysh listened to the two of them speaking in a language he could not understand, then he said unhappily, "You're speaking English."

Leia suppressed the nervous feeling that was churning in her stomach. She needed Matysh's money. That was why she could not let him notice that. "Don't worry. What are you afraid of? She'll come back when you need her. We'll work together at that time and kidnap her."

"Are you sure about that?" Mandy frowned. She had watched everything that happened just now. What Leia said earlier was indeed out of line.

It was not Luca's obligation to come to the hospital to nurse her health. She did it out of kindness, but Leia behaved condescendingly and disapproved of her.

Luca was neither her maid nor her doctor. She did not even charge her...

Luca only came here for the sake of Leia's mother.

Everything that Leia did and every word she said was absurd.

"I have faith. Don't worry. After New Year's, your dreams will come true, Mr. Matysh. You'll get what you want." Leia assured Matysh, who was on the other end of the call.
