Chapter 774 How the Tables Have Turned

Seeing Leia's tear-stained face as she sobbed broken-heartedly in Queenie's arms, Bianca could only find it very funny.

She glanced at the blood-speckled bandages on Leia's wrist and rolled her eyes. She did not expect that Leia would hurt herself to get out of the drug rehab center.

She remembered that Leia was afraid of pain.

Leia would not even dare to get an injection, but she somehow found the courage to cut herself. Bianca had underestimated her.

Bianca composed herself and wiped her eyes with her shirt sleeve. She pretended to be sad as she sat down in front of Leia and Queenie. "Mom, is Leia okay? I heard that she tried to slit her wrist. How could she be so silly?" She asked softly.

Leia's body trembled when she heard Bianca's voice. Fires of resentment burned in her eyes.

It took her a long time to control her emotions. She lifted her head and looked at Bianca pitifully. "Elder Sister..."

Queenie noticed that Bianca was in the ward. She let go of Leia, looked at her elder daughter, and wiped the tears from her eyes. "Your younger sister is fine. The doctor said that her wound is very deep. If she was sent to the hospital slightly later, she might have lost her life... Sigh, my poor child!"

Bianca glanced at Leia when she heard her call "Elder Sister."

Did that woman change her strategy to evoke pity? She had rarely called her "Elder Sister."

Bianca was not going to call Leia out. She reached out and held Leia's other hand and comforted her. "You shouldn't have tried to kill yourself, Leia. You only live once, and you shouldn't waste it just like that. Don't you know that Dad and Mom have been fretting while you were away in rehab? Dad has been chain-smoking even though he was never a smoker, and Mom cries every day. Please don't let them down anymore, and stay away from drugs. It'll ruin your life."

Queenie cried even harder after she heard Bianca say that, while Leia was laughing up her sleeve.

'Look at how sincere she's trying to be. Is there a need to mention my drug habit in front of Mom again and again? That's just pouring salt on her wound!

'Furthermore, if my adoptive parents really care about me, would they allow me to be bullied in the rehab center and not believe what I tell them?'

However, Leia knew that she had to lay low for a while. She would not want to be sent back to the drug rehab center again.

"Thank you for your advice, Elder Sister. This was all my fault," she said superficially, "I won't touch drugs ever again, Mom, and I shouldn't disobey you and Dad. I swear I'll be a better person... I don't hope for your forgiveness, but I hope that you'll allow me to remain in the Norman household so that I can continue to serve you and Dad..."

Leia knew what Queenie's weak points were.

She did not believe that her adoptive mother would disown her. After all, she had been Queenie's daughter for over a decade.

As expected, Queenie's tear-streaked face trembled agitatedly as she hugged Leia tightly. "You are our daughter, Leia. We might not be related by blood, but I've always treated you as my birth daughter. What do you mean, allowing you to remain in the household? Why would I drive you out?"Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

Leia looked at Bianca timidly. "Elder Sister, would you... would you accept me in the family?"

Bianca furrowed her brows.

She did not believe that Leia would change her personality for the better in only two months.

She would be genuinely happy for Leia if Leia would repent and not cause any more trouble. However, if she would do anything detrimental to her parents or the Norman household, Bianca would not forgive her.

Bianca smiled and said to Leia, "We're a family, aren't we? We would always welcome you with open arms as long as you learn from your mistakes."

Queenie was relieved when she heard that.

She knew that her elder daughter was not a petty person and would not hold grudges against her younger daughter for her mistakes. She tousled Leia's hair and said, "Your elder sister has always missed you, Leia. Why would she not welcome you? Let's go home after you're discharged from the hospital..."

Bianca also went up and held Leia's hands eagerly. Don't overthink it, Leia. Stay in the hospital while you recover. I'll come and visit you often.

Remember this, Leia, people will forgive you if you make a mistake, but if you do it too often, not even Dad and Mom can save you..."

Bianca thought that she was at least as good an actress as Leia.

To Queenie, Bianca was a magnanimous, sensible, and kind elder sister to Leia. She would do her best to play that role.

She was kind, but she was not stupid.

Leia was an ingrate, and Bianca did not know when Leia would harm them. That was why she put on an act whenever she interacted with her younger sister.

Leia could tell that Bianca was acting. She hated the fact that Bianca's acting skills were improving by the day. Even their mother believed that Bianca genuinely cared for her.

She could hear the implications of Bianca's words: She sounded like she was caring, but she would not hesitate to drive Leia out of the household if she went out of line.

Leia was angry, but she had nowhere to release her anger. "Thank you for your advice, Elder Sister. I had been naive, and I've learned my lesson. I won't do anything silly again." "Mm. Remember what you said today." Bianca felt cathartic when she saw the usually arrogant Leia become so docile.

In the past, Leia had been the bully because of her status as Jack and Queenie Norman's daughter. She had even tried to snatch Luke from Bianca. Now that the tables had turned on her, was it karma?

Leia gritted her teeth when she saw how smug Bianca was. She clenched onto the hem of her sleeve so tightly that she almost tore it off, but she had to put on a guilty and regretful expression.

She had already put on the act for so long, and she was not going to break character that easily.

Queenie did not know the hidden barbs in her daughters' conversation. She was happy that the two had made up to each other...
