Another nurse helped Leia to pack the things on the bedside table. These would be taken to be disinfected later.

Leia noticed that the nurses did not answer her. Instead, they began to take her stuff away. She immediately said, “You have no right to touch my stuff!"

“These belong to the hospital," said the head nurse. The water bottle and some other items belonged to the hospital. They were for the patients in the VIP wards. The water bottles downstairs were not the same design.

“I'm not moving." Leia insisted.

The head nurse did not know if she should be laughing or crying when she saw Leia behaving like this. She had no choice but to explain to her, “Ms. Norman, Mr. Norman is the one who's paying for your medical expenses. Now, he's requesting to transfer you to a normal ward. We have no choice but to follow his instructions."

"Don't touch anything. I'm calling my Dad," said Leia. She was disgusted at the thought of moving downstairs. She was a person with high social status. Why should she move downstairs and stay in the same ward with the lower class?

Leia picked up her phone. Her hand that was pressing the phone screen was trembling.

After Leia pressed the call button, she put her phone near her ears and waited for Jack to answer.

It rang a dozen times, but no one answered.

Leia made another call, but no one was answering.

Leia refused to give up. She had no choice but to call Queenie. Although Jack was paying for her medical expenses, Queenie held a special place in Jack's heart. Hence, Queenie would be able to convince him.

Queenie answered the call and asked, “Leia, are you feeling better now?"

“Mom, Dad asked the nurse to transfer me to a normal ward. What happened?" Leia ignored Queenie's concern and asked her right away.

Leia was afraid that the two nurses would push her downstairs together with the hospital bed if she waited a little longer.

“Leia, go along with your father's arrangement this time. The environment downstairs isn't that bad either." Queenie let out a sigh. Jack had already mentioned it to her before he made such a request.

Queenie disagreed with him at first. After all, Leia grew up being treated like a princess. How would she be able to accept staying in a normal ward? However, Jack was determined to do so. He also told her that Leia had tried to ruin his future by getting herself into trouble.

Everyone had their eyes on him now, waiting to see what he would do next. Jack could no longer take the risk for Leia's sake.

If Leia disagreed with it, the moment Leia got discharged from the hospital would be the moment she was sent back to New York.

Queenie was reluctant to send Leia back to New York when she had not fully recovered yet. After all, no one would be taking care of her there. That was why she got seriously ill after she came back. How could she live comfortably if she was sent abroad just like that?

Besides, the maid had also shown Queenie the video.

Although Queenie did not like Dexter, Dexter was Leia's biological father no matter what. Even though Dexter had made a lot of mistakes in the past and Leia could choose not to forgive him, kicking Dexter and mentioning Jack's name was her mistake.

Therefore, Queenie finally agreed with it.

“No way. How can I stay in the same ward with those in the lower class?" Leia yelled at her.

The nurse stopped packing her stuff for a moment when they heard her. They could not help but roll their eyes.

What did Leia mean by higher class and lower class? The reason why the hospital had VIP wards was that they needed to provide good services to those who needed privacy. There was no such thing as higher or lower social status.

Everyone was a patient in the hospital.

Now that the matter had been made known to the public, there was no need for someone like Leia to protect her privacy anymore.

"Leia! You've crossed the line this time. Do you have any idea about that?" Queenie was a little angry when she heard Leia mention the words 'lower class'.

Ever since Queenie quit the entertainment industry, she had stayed by Jack's side.

Not only had she become Jack's better half, but she also often attended charity events.

Queenie went to charity events not only because she had to maintain her image but because she was truly kind people. She wanted to do something more for those who were in need.

After they adopted Leia, she often brought her children along with her to do charity work. Jack was working in the government sector to serve the people, after all. As his wife, she needed to live up to the people's expectation to serve them. She thought bringing her children along with her could influence them to become a kind person in the future.

However, it seemed like she never succeeded.

Queenie fell back into the sofa after she scolded Leia, realizing that she had failed to educate her child.

Queenie had never mentioned those words in front of Leia when she was young. However, Leia was able to utter those words fluently now.

Queenie was heartbroken. How did her daughter become like this when she was the one who educated her?

“Dexter was the one who started it. You can't blame me for that. Anyway, Mom, did I say something wrong? I'm your daughter. How am I related to that tramp?" Leia was still unable to figure out what she had done wrong.

She was just telling the truth.

If those people who judged her had experienced the same thing, would they still be able to stand on the moral high ground to criticize her?

"Dexter was wrong, but at least he donated his liver to you. You could've just left. Why did you have to say such things and drag your father into it? Anyway, I'll listen to your father this time. You need to stop looking down on others. Besides, your father said if you refuse to move downstairs, you'll be sent back to New York right after you get discharged from the hospital," said Queenie. She did not want to deal with Leia anymore. Everything that had happened in the past few days had exhausted her.

Now, Queenie knew that her daughter who used to be good and kind was gone.

It was not because of Luke, and it was not because her image as a star was ruined. It was just that she had never learned how to be kind since she was young.

Leia had been living comfortably in the past, and that was why she managed to go for so long without showing her unpresentable side. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

Once life got hard for her, Leia would start causing trouble.

"Fine. You're refusing to help me too. Then I'm going to call Grandpa and Grandma," said Leia.

Queenie could feel her forehead throbbing. She rested her hand on her forehead and took a deep breath. Then, she said, "Leia, stop the nonsense. Your grandpa is also mad at you for saying such things. He's not going to help you even if you look for him. Your father will also punish you severely if he finds out. If you behave yourself and transfer to the ward downstairs to recuperate your health, you'll still be able to come back home when you've recovered. If you'd like to go back to New York and live there, you can do whatever you want. Your father might even sever ties with you."

"No. You can't." Leia panicked when she heard that Jack would sever ties with her.

Even if Leia had the money, she refused to let go of the position of being a senior official's daughter.

She could not let Jack sever ties with her.

"Then listen to us and get your health back on track. Stop causing trouble. Don't give the reporters and your father's opponents the chance to have something on him," said Queenie. Jack's journey to becoming an official had not been easy or smooth.

Fortunately, everything Jack did was for the sake of the people. That was why he was able to overcome the obstacles that were in his way.

However, Leia had become the biggest obstacle in Jack's political career now...
