Female Novel
Chapter 2324
Matysh looked at Leia with confusion, refusing to believe what she said.
Could someone who could not even stop themselves from being mean to Luca be able to help him?
Mandy had been staying by Matysh's side for some time now, and she knew Matysh did not trust Leia.
Mandy was the one who recommended Leia to carry out the mission, so she said, “Mr. Matysh, if Leiasays she can do it, she'll certainly succeed. I believe in her."
Matysh stared at Mandy for a few seconds and shifted his gaze back to his phone. At last, he noddedand said, "Fine. I'll trust you this time."
"Don't worry. I won't take your money if I fail. You have nothing to lose either. Enjoy your holiday in thevilla," replied Leia. The hatred she felt for Luca in her heart was getting stronger. It was like a risingyeasted dough in a high-temperature oven.
Leia put her phone aside after she ended the video call. Her eyes darkened like a deep bottomlesshole.novelbin
On the other hand.
Luca had already dealt with her emotions after she left the ward. She was on her way back to theparking lot.
Luca had only got into the car after she thought there was nothing wrong with her.
"That fast?" Luke glanced at the time. It only took 20 minutes for Luca to get it done.
He secretly made some rough calculations. It would take 15 minutes for one to head to Leia's ward andcome back here.
"There's nothing much. Ms. Norman doesn't need my help, so I came back," Luca replied with a smileon her face. She did not tell Luke those awful things she heard in the ward.
Luke frowned.
"Mr. Crawford, let's go home. That way, Aunt Neile can go home earlier too," said Luca. She felt muchbetter with the car heater warming her up.
"What did Leia say?" Luke did not intend to leave yet. He turned around and stared at her.
"Nothing..." Luca did not want to say anything, and she never thought of telling anyone about it either.
After all, if Luke truly stood up for her, Leia would be in trouble. That would only make Queenie worried.
"Luca, I can go upstairs and ask if you don't tell me." Luke insisted on knowing what Leia had said toher.
Although Luca looked fine, she must have heard something terrible from Leia.
Luke was protective of the people he loved. Although Luca had not revealed her true identity, he couldnot bear to see her being wronged.
“Mr. Crawford..." Luca hesitated as she knew he was being serious.
Leia's condition might seem stable now, but Luca had noticed that Leia's heartbeat and blood pressurechanged when her emotions surged earlier.
If Luke went upstairs now, Leia might be sent into the emergency room if she was frightened out of herwits upon seeing Luke.
Luca had no choice but to tell him how Leia took her for granted and the mean and harsh words shesaid to her.
"Is that everything she said?" Luke asked.
Luca thought Luke would think that she was making a big deal out of it. She had no choice but to nodand say, "She's always been like that. I guess things just aren't going well for me today. That's why I'min a bad mood. I left right after I tossed her medical records aside. Now that I'm recalling it, I shouldn'thave done that. After all, I had promised Mrs. Norman, but I didn't keep my promise."
"You did do something wrong." Luke looked at her with his fiery eyes, seemingly blaming her foreverything she did.
Luca's heart sank. Sure enough.
No one would side with her when she was not Bianca. Even if she was still Bianca, Luke, who was infront of her, and Queenie would not favor her because her looks and identity had changed.
"You shouldn't have helped her to nurse her health in the first place. Let's go home. Don't ever mindLeia's business again," said Luke. Then, he started the car engine.
Luca looked at Luke in surprise. Luke was defending her.
A heart-touching feeling aroused in her chest.
She could sense that Luke was defending her in his tone. Luca looked down, her voice slightlytrembling as she was moved by Luke's words. "Okay. Let's go home."
Luke drove back to the villa.
Everything went smoothly when they were on their way back. It was late, and there were hardly anycars on the road. The car did not break down either. The kids were already asleep when they returnedto the villa.
Aunt Neile saw them come back. It was late at night, and she had not returned home yet, so sheheaded to the maid's room to rest.
"Go upstairs to clean yourself up first," said Luke. He took Luca's handbag to hang it on the standhanger.
Luca nodded and made her way up the stairs. She walked into her bedroom, planning to clean herselfup and go to sleep.
Luca took her phone out of her pocket. She saw Queenie's message when she was about to put herphone on the dressing table.
She had switched it to night mode. Hence, the phone would not ring no matter if it was a messageunless someone made a phone call.
Luca unlocked her phone screen and glanced at her phone.
The message Queenie sent her was about asking her to go easy on Leia.
Luca let out a sigh. Perhaps Queenie did not understand that it was Leia who was putting her in adifficult position. Otherwise, something like that would not have happened today.
However, Luca did not blame Queenie for defending Leia.
It was because Leia was her daughter, while she was merely a stranger to her now.
Luca pondered for a moment. She could not help but feel jealous of Leia. It was not because of someother reasons. It was only because Leia had such a good mother like Queenie.
It was not easy for her to acknowledge Queenie as her mother, but things had become like this justbecause of Leia...
Luca did not even dare to acknowledge Queenie.
She thought about it and replied to Queenie in a magnanimous manner: [It's okay. It's getting late. Restearlier, Mrs. Norman.]
Luca put down her phone after she successfully sent the message.
She brought her pajamas into the bathroom.
Meanwhile, Luke, who was in the room opposite Luca's bedroom, called Johann.
“Why are you calling me at this hour?" Johann answered his call. He was flabbergasted. Did Luke everlook at the time before he made a call?
Luke could hear the drowsiness in Johann's voice, but he was not planning to let him sleep. He said, "Ineed you to do me a favor."
"Can't you tell me tomorrow if it's not urgent." Johann closed his eyes. All he wanted to do now was tosleep.
"It's urgent." Luke was stubborn, and he insisted on telling him today.
Johann opened his eyes as he thought Luke really had something urgent to tell him. "I'm awake. Tellme."
"Dexter is getting discharged tomorrow, right?" Luke asked.
"Yes. Did you call just because of this.." Johann was rendered speechless.
"No. The person Leia doesn't want to see the most is Dexter. Please make an arrangement and let herhave a chance to meet him," said Luke. He would never let anyone who put Luca in a difficult positionget away with it.
"Do you know what will happen to Leia if she sees Dexter?" Johann frowned. Leia detested herbiological father, Dexter. It seemed like Luke wanted her to meet the person she hated the most.
That would trigger Leia.
Previously, Luke had even reminded him not to let Dexter visit Leia to prevent stirring up her emotionsand causing the surgery to fail.
However, now.
What did Leia do to offend Luke again?
