Female Novel
Chapter 2573
Queenie waited until after the maid finished dividing Leia's medicine to call Jack. She decided to tellhim about her decision.
Although it was a Saturday, Jack still had to work overtime.
She had to tell him in advance that Leia was coming home to stay for the night so that he would not puton a long face after realizing that Leia was there when he returned.
People tended to be sensitive when they were sick. Leia's condition was already bad to begin with, andnow Jack's blood pressure was not looking too good either. Hence, she did not want to see the fatherand daughter quarrel.
Queenie waited for quite some time, but Jack did not pick up.
Then, she recalled that Jack mentioned that he had a meeting to attend today before he left.
Queenie guessed that Jack was in the meeting right now and his phone was muted, which was why hecould not answer.
Therefore, she left him a short message. By the time the message was sent, the maid finished packingtwo days' worth of medicine for Leia too.
Queenie picked up the medicine and walked to Leia's bedroom.
Leia was dozing off while laying on the sofa.
“Leia, wake up." Queenie went up to her to shake her shoulder.
"Hm... Go away, let me sleep." Leia was in a daze and thought that the maid was shaking her, so shelifted her arms and slapped the hand that was disturbing her sleep.
"Hiss." Queenie withdrew her hand.
Leia was quite strong, and she instantly left a red mark on the back of her hand.
"Leia, did you not sleep last night?" Queenie looked helplessly at Leia, who was dozing off.
Only then did Leia slowly wake up. She rubbed her eyes and yawned. "No, I just feel sleepy aftertaking the medicine."
"The medicine makes you sleepy?" Queenie frowned. How could the side effects of the medicine be sostrong?
These pills were made for patients with liver disease, and because they had to rely on these pills for along period, there should not be any huge side effects. Otherwise, they would affect their daily lives.
“What else could it be? I go to sleep every night according to the schedule set by the maid, so don'tyou say I stay up late." Leia glanced at the bag in Queenie's hands and her pills inside of it. "Are theyall packed up? Then let's go."
"Let's go, then." Queenie did not argue any further.
The two of them went home together.
After returning to the mansion, Leia took it upon herself to go upstairs. She said she was going back toher bedroom to rest, but she was actually going to tell Mandy about the situation so that they wouldhave the whole evening and night to prepare.
After laying down on the bed and telling Mandy about Luca's schedule, she hung up and tucked herselfinto sleep.
On the other hand, Queenie made plans with Luca.
Luca was actually relieved to find out that Queenie let Leia return to the mansion. That way, she wouldnot have to go to the apartment in advance to prepare.
Otherwise, it would be troublesome if Amur had no home to return to.
After Luca made plans with her, she joined Aunt Neile in preparing lunch for the children.
At nightfall, Luke had just returned from T Corporation.
Luca waited for him on the sofa, and when she saw him come back, she stood up to take the briefcasein his hand.
"Mr... Luke, I left some soup for you. Do you want some?" She was still not used to calling him Luke,but she was trying.
"Did you make the soup?" Luke asked.
He would not drink it if she was not the one who made it.
"Yeah, I made it just now." Luca nodded. It was not good to have soup at night, but considering thatLuke would only come back at night and the soup would go off if she made it in the afternoon, shechose to make it while preparing dinner.
"I'll have some," said Luke. As long as she made the soup, no matter what ingredients were in it, hewould drink it.
"I'll go get some for you." Luca placed the briefcase on the sofa and turned around. She then walkedinto the kitchen to bring over the soup she had kept warm.

Luca put the hot soup in front of him and walked into the kitchen to get some dipping sauce.
After handing him the cutlery and sauce, she said, "There are some ingredients in the soup. You candip them in the sauce and eat them. They're all meat, but I've skimmed the fat off the top so that thesoup isn't greasy."
She knew that Luke did not like greasy food, so she did an extra step before boiling the soup to removethe grease.
She learned all of this from Wanda.
"Have some with me." Luke looked at the large bowl filled with soup. It was enough for two people.Luca shook her head. "I've already had some, and I'm preparing to go to bed, so I don't want any."
Luke had no choice but to drink it himself.
The dinner he ate at T Corporation was not to his liking, so he did not have much, but this bowl of soupwould be able to fill him up.
He slowly sipped the soup and ate the meat in it.
Luca was watching him. He still looked gentle and elegant even when he was eating. At the thought ofgoing over to Norman Residence tomorrow, she said, “By the way, I'm going to the Norman family'splace tomorrow."
"The Norman family?" Luke glanced at her while stuffing a piece of meat into his mouth.
"Yeah, Mrs. Norman said that Ms. Norman is not recovering well after the surgery and that the doctorsuggested using herbal medicine as a treatment..." Luca did not continue.
If it were anyone else, there was no way they would help Leia after she made them so angry.
Who would be willing to be treated as a bad person when they had good intentions?
Nobody was a saint.
However, she did not refuse Queenie's request.
It was because Queenie was her birth mother, and as a child at her age, it was time she repaid hermother. Hence, when Queenie made that request, she agreed without thinking twice.
Luke did not find it strange that Luca agreed.
Besides, Queenie was the only one who would make such a request, not Leia.
Even if Queenie was not part of her childhood, blood was thicker than water to Luca.
He was curious about Leia.
"Leia actually agreed to it?" Luke raised his eyebrows, and there was a hint of surprise in his words.
"Yeah, she agreed. Mrs. Norman invited me to stay at their place for lunch." Luca nodded
"Ms. Norman doesn't seem like she would accept your help," Luke said frankly. Then, he recalled thatLeia and Mandy knew each other, so he said, "I'll have Rain follow you tomorrow."
"Okay, Rain already agreed." Luca nodded. When Queenie was asking her earlier, Rain came to knowof it in the car. Even before they agreed on a time, she said that she would follow them.
"Rain alone is not enough," Luke murmured.
"Huh? Did you find out something?" Luca felt uneasy.
"I have news about Matysh. His family wants him to go back, and if he doesn't, they'll be using bruteforce," said Luke.
The fact that Matysh stayed in A City for so long showed how obsessed he was with Luca.
Now that he was forced to return to his home country, he would certainly make a big move beforeleaving.
Given what Leia had done before and that Luca was seeing her tomorrow, he had to be extra careful.
