Chapter 2104
"Father-in-law." Luke nodded at him.
Luca also greeted Jack, "Hello, Uncle Jack. Long time no see."
"It's been a long time, Luca. If you're free, come visit me and your Aunt Queenie more often," Jacksaid. He knew there was a reason why Luca did not visit often.
Luke had told him about what happened to her in Russia.
As such, Jack knew that Luca was in danger all the time and could not acknowledge him and Queenieas her biological parents for some reason.
"Okay." Luca finished writing and handed the paper to the maid. "There you go."
"What's that?" When he saw that, Jack put down his briefcase and sat down near Luca.
"It's a few recipes for your diet and a prescription for Aunt Queenie to condition her body," Luca replied.
"Condition her body? What's wrong?" Jack became nervous. He and Luke asked Luca to come over tocheck on Queenie's pulse as an excuse. He did not expect that something would be wrong withQueenie's body.
"It's nothing. I've been having a lot of dreams when I'm sleeping, so Luca checked my pulse and gaveme a prescription," Queenie said to reassure Jack.
"Are you sure you're okay?" Jack was still worried, so he looked at Luca and asked her.
"It's nothing. She just needs to condition her body and let go of her thoughts. Then she'll naturally beable to sleep well." Luca nodded and smiled slightly. She was envious of her parents' relationship.
Her relationship with Luke had always been good. However, too many twists and turns had left themwhere they were now.
It was as though they were not meant to have a peaceful life.
Jack breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'm glad to hear that."
Queenie's smile got bigger and bigger when she saw her husband's nervous reaction. "I told you thatI'm fine. My body is in tip-top shape."
"If all is well, you wouldn't have to take herbs to condition your body. You still have to pay attention toyour health." Jack disagreed with Queenie's statement.
Luca looked at her parents with envy.
Seeing this, Luke cleared his throat and said, "Father-in-law, can we step aside to talk?"
"You want to ask about the development in the western suburbs?" Jack knew what he wanted to talkabout. He asked him to come over for dinner so that he could tell him more about what he wanted toknow.
Nevertheless, even if the answer was given to him, it was up to Luke whether he could win the project.
Therefore, Jack was comfortable sharing the information. After all, he knew that Luke would not screwhim over even if he knew the information.
“Mm." Luke nodded.
"Let's talk in my study," Jack said. After all, the maid was still in the living room and their conversationshould not be heard by outsiders.
"Okay." Luke stood up.
Jack stood up as well, handed the maid the bottle in his hand, and said, "Let the bottle breathe. We'lldrink it when we have dinner later."
"Got it, Mr. Norman." The maid took the wine and walked into the kitchen.
Luke followed Jack upstairs.
In the living room on the first floor, Luca and Queenie were the only ones left.
Luca knew that Queenie did not like her, but she could not help but make small talk. "Aunt Queenie,how's Leia doing?"
"She..." Queenie's eyes were filled with sadness when Leia was mentioned. "She's against takingmedicine because she thinks that the hormones in the medicine will affect her figure. Her situation isgetting worse. The doctors said that there's no way to reverse it, so they can only wait for a livertransplant. However, the country's liver sources are limited. There are still several people ahead of Leiain A City, and some have even been waiting for a year. "novelbin
Luca frowned. Leia's liver function damage was not severe enough to require an immediate transplant.Her condition would be stable if she followed through with the medicine.
She did expect Leia's condition to be so terrible in just a few months.
She had no one but herself to blame. She would not have ended up like this if she followed the doctor'sorders and took her medicine on time.
"Luca, is there anything you can do about Leia's situation?" Queenie asked. She did not dare to saythese in front of Luke.
"There's no other way if the doctors in the hospital all say that she has to wait for a transplant. Somedamage can't be reversed, especially with the organ..." Luca said, "Some can only slow down the
impact of the damage, but Ms. Norman is hurting herself by not taking her medication on time."
"I knew there's no other way... I'm worried if Leia can even wait until then?" Queenie had heard toomany similar cases.
In the end, the patients could not wait for the liver for transplantation and could only pass away withregret.
Luca said nothing.
At this stage, all Leia could do was take medicine and injections while waiting for the transplant.
However, Leia was a fan of drama. Luca was worried that she would continue to hurt herself and thenforce Jack to pay for a liver on the black market.
"Aunt, you should spend more time with her. Don't let her overthink and mess around..." Luca said.
Jack was not an ordinary person. He may be heavily affected by certain things at any time. If Leiamessed up, Jack may be punished ten times more strictly than ordinary people.
He did not raise his kids to get them to take revenge on him.
Mr. and Mrs. Norman had done enough for Leia over the years.
If it was not because she was no longer by their side, Queenie would not be paying all her attention toLeia.
"I know what you mean. In fact, it's also possible for relatives to donate organs. After all, it's a liver. Ithas two large lobes. It's just..." Queenie did not continue to speak. Everyone in A City knew that Leiawas adopted.
Their blood type was not compatible with her at all.
Therefore, none of them could donate their liver to her.
When Leia was in the orphanage, there were very few records of her. They could not find anyonerelated to Leia.
When Leia was still an A-list star, Queenie remembered a beggar who said that he was Leia's father.However, at that time, they did not let the beggar continue to make a scene to protect Leia.
The beggar was long gone now.
It seemed that Leia had no relatives who could help her.
"It's all about luck." Luca suddenly thought of Kevin Rayne. Back then, he also had liver disease andwas waiting for a transplant. She could not do anything about it then.
That was because their blood types were different.
At that time, she thought that her blood type was from the mother she had never met, but sheunderstood why when she found out that her biological parents were Jack and Queenie.
However, Kevin Rayne was luckier than Leia.
At least she managed to save enough money and Kevin got a liver transplant.
"The drugs' effects are great. As long as Ms. Norman continues with her treatment, she has time," Lucacould only comfort her.
"Hopefully... Leia will go to the hospital for a check-up tomorrow. If the check-up gives us bad news, thedoctor will force her to be hospitalized and wait for the liver." Queenie could not help but share aboutLeia with Luca.
