Female Novel
Chapter 2498
Mandy walked into the apartment with a puzzled look. She saw Leia sitting on the sofa and strolledtoward her, asking, "Why is your housemaid being extra careful?"
“Blame those reporters who are fanning the flames!” Leia gritted her teeth angrily when she mentionedthose reporters who would not stop pestering her.
"Reporters? You've retired for quite some time, right? Why are the reporters still hounding you?” Mandyseldom read the news on the internet. That was why she did not know the news about Leia kickingDexter.
She wondered why there were reporters still trying to hound Leia when she did not have any greatshows or impressive acting skills. Could it be that it was simply because she was Jack Norman'sdaughter?
"Don't mention it. What an unlucky day." Leia did not expect that kicking Dexter out of anxiety wouldaffect her so much.
Someone told her that some teachers even used her incident with Dexter as an example in educatingtheir students, explaining that it was wrong to do so.
Even the teachers were talking about it, not to mention the parents.
Hence, not only was she a bad person in everyone's mind, but she was also a bad person to thoseinnocent kids.
The last time she went to the hospital for a follow-up examination, she was recognized by a little child.He pointed at her and said she was a bad woman who showed no respect to her parents.
The child cried out so loudly. It got Leia in the spotlight, and she was instantly surrounded by onlookers.
At last, it was the hospital's security guard who took her away to prevent her from getting scolded bythe public.
Mandy saw the gloomy look on Leia's face and knew that it must be something bad.
Previously, when Leia was still a celebrity, she loved interacting with reporters. She would constantlybuild her public persona in front of the reporters just to be in the headlines.
Leia looked like she wanted to cut those reporters into pieces now.
"Fine. Let's not talk about it, then. How are you feeling now?" Mandy quickly changed the subject of theconversation.
Although she had partnered up with Leia, she did not want to get jinxed by Leia.
"It's the same. I thought my health would improve after the transplant. Who would have known that I'dhave to eat more pills than before? My mouth is full of a bitter taste from taking so much medicineevery day," Leia said with disgust. She glanced at the time. It was time for her to take her medicinenow.
The maid carried a glass of water and a dozen pills. She walked toward her, "Ms. Norman, it's time totake your medicine."
“Can I not take them?” Leia frowned. She felt nauseous when she saw so many pills.
The maid replied awkwardly, “These are the pills the doctor prescribed for you. They're good for yourhealth. It'd be better for you to take them..."
When Leia went to the hospital for a follow-up two days ago, the doctor found out that she hadinflammation in her body. He gave her tons of medicines and told her that she had to take these for acourse of treatment. Then, she had to come back for a check-up again.
"That's a lot." Mandy was surprised to see that. She knew one had to take a lot of medicine after goingthrough an organ transplant, but she had never seen anyone take so many medicine pills.
"Yes. I think the doctor did it on purpose," Leia complained, but she took the pills and swallowed themone by one.
Leia had been on the verge of death, so she appreciated her life now.
What concerned her the most was that the transplant would fail and she would have to look for anotherliver.
After everything that happened, she knew that it was not only Jack who was not siding her with now butalso Queenie. Even though they were wealthy, they would not spend the money on her to look for aliver donor. That was why she could not fall ill anymore.
"You can't say that. There must be a reason why the doctor gave you so many medicines," repliedMandy. She recalled how Leia had lived her life in New York, then saw how miserable she was now.She could see that it was Leia who abused her health and ended up like this today with just a glance.
Mandy remembered that she had advised Leia not to go to extremes in having fun as it would exhausther body.
Leia did not take her advice seriously, and it sounded like a joke to her at that time.
Alas, Leia ended up like this today.
She ignored what Mandy said. After all, the medicine tasted bitter. She had to swallow them slowly.
Mandy was not in a hurry either. She had time, and she could wait until Leia finished swallowing all thepills.
After Leia finished swallowing the pills, she gulped down a glass of warm water to cleanse the bittertaste in her mouth.
"It hurts me to see you like this." Mandy could not help but heave a sigh.
“Why did you come here?" Leia asked. She knew she was not that close with Mandy to the extent thatMandy would come to visit her and care for her health.novelbin
The friendship between Leia and Mandy was built on mutual interests and benefits.
Frankly, if it were not for Leia's father who had a high social status, Mandy would not have visited her inthe first place. They would not be in contact with each other either.
Mandy smiled and turned to look at the maid.
Leia immediately understood and said to the maid, “Ms. Sanders will be staying for dinner tonight. Goget some ingredients at the supermarket." "Ingredients? Ms. Norman, there are enough ingredients inthe fridge." Of course, the maid was aware of that. However, Jack had told her before that no matterwho came looking for Leia, she had to keep an eye on them. Otherwise, Leia might cause troubleagain.
Leia frowned. She deliberately put the maid, who refused to leave, in a difficult position. "Can youreceive the guests with those ingredients? It's fine if I'm the one who's taking a clean diet, but you can'tentertain guests with such food, right? Ms. Sanders loves steak. Go get some and prepare it for her. Ifyou don't know how to prepare steaks, go to the Michelin restaurant nearby to get one for her."
"Uh..." The maid did not expect Leia to demand so much.
"Are you going or not? Ms. Sanders has just returned from overseas. She can't get used to eating suchbland and tasteless meals." Leia glowered at her. She knew Jack sent the maid here to take care of her
and to keep a close watch over her.
It was inconvenient for Leia to talk to Mandy if the maid was there.
"Okay, Ms. Norman." The maid felt aggrieved. The meal she prepared did not taste that bad.
It was just that Leia's health had yet to fully recover. She needed to follow the doctor's instructions. Leiacould not take food that was too sweet or too salty. Otherwise, it would be bad for her health.
The meals she prepared were based on the healthy meal plans the hospital prepared.
The maid asked in an aggrieved tone, "Ms. Sanders, how do you like your steak?"
"Medium rare, please." Mandy had been influenced by Matysh lately. She did not like steak that waswell done.
"Okay. I'll go now," replied the maid. She picked up her coat and purse, then left the apartment.
Leia could not help but mock Mandy, "I thought you didn't like rare steak back then? I didn't expect youto have changed your taste."
"It's thanks to Matysh," Mandy replied helplessly. Matysh wanted to maintain his lavish lifestyle nomatter where he went. Everything had to be based on a set of standards. Matysh would despise her ifher standards were different from his.
Hence, her lifestyle and living standard changed a lot after some time.
Leia could not help but mock her. "I didn't know you're so close with your sugar daddy. You even gotinfluenced by him. Is he still planning to get that woman?"
