“Get to sleep. Stop overthinking. Either way, don’t worry about it." Luke knew her all too well.

The reason why Luke told her was that Luca would find out about it after he provoked Leia. It would be better to tell Luca in advance so that she would not be worried.

Luca was not worried about Leia, but she was worried about Queenie. Queenie might look for Luca if Leia got triggered.

Luke did not want Luca to mind Leia’s business.

"Alright." Luca was relieved. She leaned against Luke in his arms as the heart-touching feeling lingered in her heart.

Luke held her tight.

Luca could feel that she was melting into his body, becoming one with him.

Luke was always capable of soothing the anxiety in her heart.

Luke was slowly breaking down the anxiety in her heart that had accumulated in her heart for years little by little. All content is property © .

Luca even thought how nice it would be if she could be more selfish. That way, Abel would not be able to use her child to threaten her.

Still, how could she be so selfish?

She loved Luke, and she loved everything about him. The child had her father’s good genes. How could she leave her child alone?

The following day,

In the hospital.

The nurse walked into Leia's ward based on Johann's name list. Then, she said, "Leia, time for a checkup."

Leia was sitting on the sofa, eating the breakfast the caretaker had brought her. She frowned when she heard there was a medical check-up. She asked, "Why is there suddenly a check-up?"

"It's the doctor's instructions. Come with me." The nurse glanced at the name list and confirmed that Leia had to go for a check-up.

"Why didn’t Johann tell me when he was doing his ward round?" Leia was puzzled. She had been doing well these days. That was why there had been no special treatments or check-ups.

Besides, judging from her past experiences, the doctor would always mention to her if there would be a check-up.

"I have no idea. I'm just doing my job. You may ask your attending physician if you have any questions about it," replied the nurse. She was getting impatient as there were many patients on the name list that she had to bring downstairs for the check-up.

Leia frowned, stood up, and took the name list from her.

She had to go for a blood test, urine test, and CT scan...

Leia looked at the tests while she picked up her phone, about to ask Johann what was going on.

The nurse said, “If you refuse to do the check-up, I'll bring other patients downstairs first. No one happens to be doing the tests now.”

The caretaker, who was beside Leia, said, "Ms. Norman, why don't you go ahead with it? There must be a reason why the doctor made such arrangements."

"How troublesome. Why didn't they draw my blood when I haven't eaten anything in the morning?

Now, they want me to go for a blood test." Leia complained while she picked up the jacket and draped it over her shoulder. Then, she followed the nurse out of the ward.

The caretaker followed behind her.

The nurse headed to the nurses' station and nodded at the head nurse, saying, "I'm bringing the patient downstairs for a check-up."

"Okay. Got it," replied the head nurse. She placed a note on Leia's fluid bag. It would let the nurse who was going to give her the injection know that Leia was doing her check-up now.

Leia followed the nurse into the elevator and saw her pressing the button. She frowned and asked, "Why are we going to this floor?"

"You're heading for a check-up," the nurse shot her a glance and explained.

"I usually do my check-ups on the 12th floor," said Leia. Before the surgery, she was sent to do several health screenings. She always headed to the 12th floor.

However, the nurse was bringing her to the 13th floor this time.

"The 12th floor is for hospitalized patients to do their check-ups, but we have to disinfect it today. It'll only be open tomorrow. That's why we'll be heading to the outpatient department for the check-up," explained the nurse.

Leia pulled the jacket that was draped over her shoulder impatiently and looked at the numbers that gradually went down as the elevator descended.

Leia was in a mess now. She was not as glamorous as she appeared back then. Besides, she had no makeup on now, and her face was pale white. She wondered if she would run into someone she knew.

Although she had already stepped away from the entertainment industry, she had starred in many TV shows before. Hence, the public might recognize her.

Leia immediately said, "No way. I have to go back and get my cap and mask."

The nurse thought Leia was troublesome. She could understand why Leia wanted to put on a mask, but a cap? Then, she asked, "You're just doing a check-up. Why do you need a cap?" "Do you have any idea who I am?" Leia pointed at herself and said in a querulous tone.

Every nurse on the VIP floor knew who she was. How could the nurse not know her?

However, Leia also noticed that she had never seen this nurse before. Perhaps she was not from the VIP floor.

The nurse chuckled and replied, “It doesn't matter who you are. You're just a patient here, and you should listen to the doctor's instructions and the nurse's arrangements."

"I'm..." Leia paused for a moment, then continued, "I was a celebrity before."

The nurse took a close look at her face and glanced at her nametag. That was why she looked familiar. It was her.

"So you're.." said the nurse.

"Yes. That's me," Leia said proudly. "I'll need a mask and a cap. Otherwise, don't blame me for causing chaos in the hospital hallway.

The nurse scoffed. However, she had a mask covering her face. That was why Leia did not notice it.

Did Leia think that she was still the innocent angel that everyone knew a few years ago? Her reputation was ruined before she retired from the entertainment industry. Also, she had disappeared without a trace for a few years. People had already forgotten about her.

However, as a nurse, she was not allowed to say such things.

Otherwise, she would be reported and lose her job.

The nurse took a mask out of her pocket and said, "I only have a mask. You'll be running late if you go upstairs to get a cap. There's hardly anyone at the outpatient department now. It's hard to tell if it'll be crowded later."

Leia was afraid of the place being crowded too. She had no choice but to take the mask from the nurse and put it on.

The elevator door slowly opened. Leia followed behind the nurse and got out of the elevator.

"Wait a minute. Let me get a wheelchair," said the nurse. She pushed a wheelchair toward her at the end of the hallway.

Leia was out of breath after walking for some time. Her body was not fully recovered yet. Thus, she sat in the wheelchair and let the caretaker push the wheelchair.

The nurse followed the instructions on the list and did the tests for her one after another.

Finally, there was one blood test left. The nurse said, "Let's head to the second floor for the blood test."

Leia was exhausted after going through all the examinations. She needed some rest now. That was why she did not answer the nurse and just let the caretaker push the wheelchair.

After they arrived on the second floor, the caretaker pushed her and headed to the blood test room.

Suddenly, a voice came from behind them, "Leia, is that you? Leia."

Leia's body trembled as she felt a tremor. It had been years since she heard that voice, but it was still her worst nightmare until today. She quickly said, "Go. Faster."

The nurse and caretaker had yet to figure out what was wrong. Dexter dashed toward her and stopped in front of her. Tears welled up in his eyes as he said, "Leia, I finally get to see you."

"Go away. I don't know who you are." Leia hissed. She shot a glance at Dexter, her eyes filled with hatred.
