Female Novel
Chapter 2578
"Are you here to wait for Ms. Craw too?" the maid smiled and said. She glanced at the time andpresumed that Luca should be arriving soon.
Leia did not respond to her and just stomped her feet on the side. She then took out her phone andcalled Mandy, "I've opened the backdoor. It's covered but not locked. Make sure the men pretend tohurt me when they come in. I don't want Luke to suspect anything after he sees the surveillancefootage."
"Will do," Mandy replied.
"Also, come in only after I send you some numbers. I’ll connect to the surveillance system at home anddelete the footage of me opening the door," Leia said.
She was familiar with doing this sort of thing because of Wayne Blatt.
"You’re asking for so much but okay." Mandy could not help but complain.
Leia lowered her gaze and deleted all of their chats. After that, she glanced at the time before sheexhaled hot air and complained, "Why is she taking so long?"
"It’s a Sunday. There might be a traffic jam on the road." When she saw how impatient Leia was, themaid said, "Ms. Leia, it's cold outside. You should head in."
"Okay, make sure you keep watch." Leia hurriedly went inside. She had to go make a copy of thesurveillance video and then fill the gap with the footage of when she was in the back garden.
She would inevitably be exposed to the surveillance camera at the door when she opened it. As such,she had to take care of it.
She had been sent off to New York once by Luke and did not want to be sent off to America by himagain for any excuse.
Leia crossed the living room and trotted upstairs.
Jack happened to be heading downstairs and frowned with dissatisfaction when he saw her rushingaround. "Why are you in such a hurry?"
"Dad..." Leia was startled. She was scared to face Jack.
She knew that she could no longer be conceited when she found out that he no longer loved her as herfather. As such, she was a little afraid when she saw Jack's serious expression.
"You’re so flustered even at home. What if you bump into someone?!" Jack intended to discipline her.
He came home late last night, so he did not see Leia. He was annoyed when he saw her nervous state,which was not at all ladylike.
"Sorry, Dad. Luca..." Leia noticed that Jack's expression became even more displeased when shementioned 'Luca.'
She quickly said, "Ms. Craw is coming, so I'm going to change and head downstairs. I didn't realize thatI was rushing..."
"Be careful. Don't bump into your mother." Jack was not bothered by Leia when he learned that Lucawas coming. He walked downstairs quickly.
Leia looked at him as he walked off. She snorted to herself and returned to her bedroom.
After she closed the door, Leia turned on the computer, connected to the villa's surveillance system,and quickly modified the surveillance footage of when she went to open the door.
She heard the maid's voice coming from the door just as she was done. "Ms. Leia, Ms. Craw is here.Mr. and Mrs. asked you to go downstairs."
"Mm, I'm coming." Leia lowered her gaze, picked up her phone, and sent a number to Mandy beforeshe carefully deleted their chat history.
She had become extra cautious due to what Wayne did to her prior.
After she got everything sorted, Leia walked over to the dresser and put on some lipstick.
'So what if Luke is having an affair with Luca? So what if Jack values Luca? She's about to becomesomeone else's plaything soon enough.'
Leia smiled. Her lips were covered in bright red lipstick as if smeared with human blood.
She turned around and walked out of the bedroom.
In the living room, Luca was sitting on the sofa with some hot tea and snacks placed in front of her.
It was as though they were entertaining their most important guests.
Leia lowered her gaze and walked toward them.
Luca noticed Leia coming, glanced at her lipstick, and frowned slightly.
The sallow color on her face did not pair well with the brightly colored lipstick...
Leia could have put on lipstick to make her face look rosier, but it was superfluous and made her a littleugly.
"Leia, come, sit here." Queenie saw Leia approaching and was taken aback when she noticed Leia'sbright red lips. She quickly returned to normal and asked Leia to sit next to her.
The seat was near Luca and was reserved for Leia on purpose.
Leia walked over and sat down. As Queenie and Jack were watching, she had no choice but to sayhello to Luca, "Ms. Craw, thank you for agreeing to heal my body. To be honest, I was surprised."
"Nothing to worry about." Luca did not ask her what she was surprised about but instead motioned forher to roll up her sleeves. "I'll check your pulse. Also, I need the results of the last few tests as well asthe doctor's order."
"Okay, I'll go get it." Queenie knew she needed these documents, so she stood up to get them. Shetook them with her when she brought Leia home yesterday.
Leia rolled up her sleeves to allow Luca to check her pulse.
Luca put her fingers on Leia's pulse.
After a while, she knew that Queenie did not exaggerate Leia's physical condition. She knew that Leia'shealth was terrible by taking her pulse.
"Luca, here. These are the inspection reports from the past few visits." Queenie handed Luca the folderwith the reports.
"Thank you, Mrs. Norman." Luca took it and was about to take a look when she heard Leia say, "Whydo you need to look at my medical records? Don't you know how to check someone's pulse?"
"I'm just making sure." She did not expect Leia to start picking on things in front of so many people.
After all, Leia was not only afraid of Luke but also Jack.
Jack was sitting on the sofa beside her, so Luca did not expect her to dare say such a thing.
Leia put one hand on the medical record and said, "There's nothing special about my situation. Sinceyou took my pulse just now, why don't we talk about what's wrong with my body first?"
Luca placed the medical records on the table.
It seemed that Leia would not let Luca treat her if she did not give her a reasonable explanation.
Regardless, she did not plan to win over Leia with her medical knowledge.
She was helping Leia to take care of her body as a courtesy to Queenie and Jack.
She was no longer Bianca, so she could not do the same thing as Bianca. Leia could at least diverttheir longing for Bianca by being by their side.
Therefore, she chose to help her condition her body. Queenie would not be worried all day if Leia'shealth was better.
At that moment, Luca felt that there was no need for conditioning.
"Ms. Norman's body is immensely weak. If she doesn't take medicine to condition her body, the livertransplant operation would've been done in vain," Luca said in a casual tone.novelbin
Leia snorted and was about to say that she had not mentioned anything about her health issues whenLuca stood up.
She looked down at Leia and said, "Since Ms. Norman doesn't believe in me, I think it would be best toget another respected medicine practitioner to attend to her. Also, Ms. Norman, your complexion issallow. You need to pay attention to your health. Mr. and Mrs. Norman, I'm sorry I wasn't of much helptoday. I'll be heading off now."
