Chapter 2334
A mother would always worry about her child, and Queenie was no exception.
It was just that Leia made her worry too much.
When Leia was still in the entertainment industry, Queenie constantly used her connections in theindustry to help develop her career so that she would not sell herself to get resources like mostcelebrities.
However, Leia still went astray and did everything she could to get what did not belong to her.
In the end, she even drugged Queenie to take revenge on her.
At the thought of this, Queenie felt that the bitterness in her mouth could never compare to thebitterness in her heart.
“Mrs. Norman, is the medicine really bitter?" The maid noticed her frown and asked worriedly.
"It's fine." After the pills had disintegrated under her tongue, Queenie drank a big glass of water.novelbin
The maid brought over candy and said, "Mrs. Norman, have some candy."
Queenie shook her head and glanced out the window to see that it had stopped snowing. Then, sheasked, "How many more days until the new year?"
"Mrs. Norman, the new year is next Thursday," answered the maid.
"So soon? We haven't bought any New Year's goods and food, right?" Queenie looked at the maid.
"Not yet. Give me a list of what you want to buy and I'll go get everything," the maid said as she hadalways been in charge of getting the groceries when Queenie was ill.
In the past, Queenie would remember the date and give her a list for her to prepare everything inadvance.
Queenie chuckled while she stood up and said, "Before, I made you prepare everything because I wasill. Now that I'm better, I can go get the shopping done myself. It seems about time I need to goshopping. If I go any later, the youngsters will be on holiday and the supermarket will be crowded."
"Mrs. Norman, it's cold out. You should stay at home." The maid was being considerate of her.
"It's alright. No need to cook dinner tonight. Mr. Norman has an important meeting, so he won't be backfor dinner. You can come with me and we'll eat outside," said Queenie as she planned to go shopping.
It had been a long time since she last went shopping due to her health.
In the past, Jack rejected many relatives from coming over to visit because of her health.
She would have difficulty breathing and become restless in crowded situations because of the toxins inher body at that time.
"Alright, I'll go bring your coat down," said the maid before heading upstairs.
Queenie stared out the window and started getting lost in her thoughts.
She wondered if Bianca was doing well abroad. She could not believe that she was ruthless enough toleave her husband and children alone this New Year's. She even forgot about her and Jack whilestudying abroad.
She was still her daughter, but at the moment, they were no different from strangers.
She just lost her memory. Queenie could accept the fact that she was different from before, but Biancaleft because she could not accept her past being a blank slate...
After the maid brought her coat and helped her put it on, she said, "Mrs. Norman, the driver is waitingat the door."
"Alright." Queenie tightly wrapped the clothes around her body and took the scarf on the hanger. Afterwrapping it around her and making sure that she was warm enough, she walked out of the mansion.
There was already a patient in this family, Leia. She could not afford to get sick again.
The maid followed her closely, and the two sat together in the car as the driver drove to a large malldowntown.
"We're going shopping first. You can come back later to pick up the stuff," Queenie said to the driverbefore getting out of the car.
The maid followed her, and they went to the clothing section first.
"Mrs. Norman, do you want to buy clothes?" the maid asked.
Queenie nodded and walked toward the clothing store. "Isn't it New Year's? Wearing new clothes in thenew year is a must. I need to buy some clothes for Mr. Norman and Leia."
The maid did not understand why she had to buy new clothes for Leia as the doctor had alreadymentioned that in Leia's current condition, she would have to be hospitalized during New Year's, so shereminded Queenie, "Mrs. Norman, Ms. Leia still has to be hospitalized during the new year, so shecan't wear other clothes."
Queenie froze after her reminder.
Leia was required to wear a hospital gown in the hospital.
"Then I'll buy her two coats instead. Although she can only wear a hospital gown, she still has to wearnew clothes on New Year's, right?" Queenie said while walking into the women's section first.
"Right." The maid sighed internally after seeing how nice Queenie was to Leia.
She had been working for the Norman family for over a decade, so she would naturally come to learnabout the things Leia had done.
After doing so many unspeakable things, including poisoning Queenie, Queenie still treated Leia thesame. Her maternal love was really something.
She never treated Leia differently despite her being adopted.
Unfortunately, Leia still took it for granted.
Queenie picked out two coats. One was pink, and the other was bright red. “Leia should wear the brightred one on the first day of the new year. The striking color looks like it can uplift her spirits. I hope thatshe'll be able to get better soon."
The maid looked at the two expensive coats in the salesperson's hands and exclaimed, "Mrs. Norman,you're so nice to Ms. Leia."
"I'm her mother. How can I not be nice to her? If only Bea was in the country." Queenie sighed. Herwish for a family reunion was so hard to come true.
The maid knew that she was missing Bianca again, so she quickly picked up another coat and said,"Mrs. Norman, don't forget to buy some for yourself too."
"No need. Luke brought two new coats for me the last time, and they're foreign brands as well. He saidthat Bea bought them for me and delivered them here," Queenie shook her head with a smile.
"That's no good. It only counts if you buy clothes for yourself. This piece seems to suit you well. Whydon't you go try it on?" the maid said.
Of course, a salesperson would not miss the opportunity to earn a commission, so she agreed, "She'sright, Miss. This is one of the new pieces this season, and it just arrived two days ago. It suits you verywell, and I'm sure it'll look great on you. Plus it's also a festive color suitable for New Year's."
Queenie looked at the coat. She did like it very much, so she took it to the fitting room to try it on.
It fit her well, so she bought it.
Then, she walked to the men's section with the maid intending to pick out a few pieces of clothing forJack.
Jack's clothes are usually picked out by her. Moreover, he had just returned to the government to workthis year, so there would definitely be many people coming over to pay respects during New Year's.
Queenie thought that he must dress appropriately this New Year's.
"Aunt Queenie?" Nina had just walked into the men's section. She called out to Queenie as soon asshe saw her.
Queenie looked back and smiled when she saw that it was Nina. Then, she said, "Nina, are you here tobuy clothes too?"
"Yes, the new year is almost here and Percy is busy this year, so I came here to have a look and pickout some New Year's clothes for him." Nina smiled and walked up to her.
