Female Novel
Chapter 2587
Leia had no choice but to stay in the general ward at the Department of Hepatobiliary.
However, Leia had no idea about Jack's and Queenie's current conditions.
Leia could not help but hope that Jack and Queenie had injured their brains and were suffering from acerebral hemorrhage. It would be better if something else happened to them. She wanted the two ofthem to experience how it felt like to be in pain from sickness.
Still, she could not find out anything while staying in the general ward. No one informed her about herparents' condition either. Johann turned a deaf ear to her questions whenever she asked him.
It was as though everything about Jack and Queenie was kept in the dark from her. There was nothingLeia could do. She could only come upstairs and claim that she wanted to visit them to find out howthey were doing.
However, she did not expect to be stopped the moment she stepped out of the elevator.
The head nurse was left with no choice. Leia was known for her bad behavior in the hospital. If it werenot for the patients' request, she would never dare to stop Leia. "I'm sorry, Ms. Norman. You can file acomplaint or give a review to the hospital administration if there's anything that upsets you. Pleasedon't make a scene and disturb the other patients. If you insist on doing so, I have no choice but to askthe guards to send you back to the Department of Hepatobiliary.”
“Just you wait! I won't stop complaining until you get fired!” Leia growled. When she turned around,Luke came into her sight.
The moment their gazes met, a hint of fear flashed across her eyes as though a mouse had run into acat.
No matter what kind of situation it was, whenever she ran into Luke, she was reminded of how cold andheartless the man was to her. She would also recall the tricks he used that made her fall from graceand her life end up a mess.
Therefore, Leia was afraid of Luke, especially since she had done something bad today.
Leia wanted to walk away quickly. She immediately pressed the elevator button.
The elevator doors opened. A police officer and Rain's subordinate walked out of the elevator.
Leia frowned when she saw them. "Are you a ghost? Why are you haunting me wherever I go? Stopfollowing me. I'm a victim, not a criminal!"
The police officer pulled a long face. He had followed Leia to the hospital. After he waited for her tocheck into the hospital, the doctor came to examine her and told him that she was fine and could makea statement. Only then did he prepare to take a statement from her.
Who would have known that Leia would sidestep his questions? She even secretly slipped out of herward and came here.novelbin
The police officer ended up looking for Leia in the hospital for an hour. He eventually found out thatLeia headed to the top floor of the hospital after he went to the security room and checked thehospital's surveillance cameras.
The police officer had spent the whole morning in the hospital, but he had not gotten a statement fromLeia. He felt helpless.
“Ms. Norman, since you're one of the victims, you have to be cooperative and give me a statement,"said the police officer.
"I'm not feeling well now. I can't make the statement," replied Leia as she walked into the elevator.Even though she did not look at Luke in his eyes, she could feel his eyes on her.
It was a malicious and ruthless stare...
The police officer was rendered speechless as he followed Leia into the elevator. She did not look likeshe was feeling unwell.
He could see it from the way Leia ran around in the hospital. If it were not for the hospital gown shewas wearing, she was no different from a normal person.
Luke followed them into the elevator too.
Leia could not help but hold her breath when she saw his tall figure. Her hands trembled in fearuncontrollably.
She was terrified.
Leia was afraid that Luke would ask her about what happened and she would let the cat out of the bagbecause of her fear.
Leia looked down, trying her best to ignore the powerful aura around Luke.
Luke stood in the corner of the elevator. Even though he said nothing and no matter how hard Leiatried to ignore his presence, she was afraid of the pressure that Luke's presence exerted on her.
Her hand tremor was getting severe.
When they finally arrived at the floor where the Department of Hepatobiliary was, Leia strode out of theelevator as though she was running away.
The second her left foot stepped out of the elevator, Luke spoke, "Agent Three."
Rain's subordinate responded, "Yes, Boss."
"Protect Ms. Norman well." Luke looked up and shot a glance at Leia.
A chill went down her spine, and it gave Leia the creeps when Luke mentioned her name.
Leia did not stay. She trotted away in a hurry.
Agent Three added, "Okay, Boss. I'll be by her side, keeping her safe."
He meant what he said. Leia had walked away and put some distance between them, but Agent Threequickly moved his long legs and kept up with her.
Leia could feel someone following behind her. She felt like crying.
The reason she could get rid of the police officer and the man back then was tha she stayed in a three-bed ward. There were only female patients in the ward. Agent Three was too embarrassed to enter theward, so he walked back and forth outside her ward.
Leia had a feeling that after Luke gave his instructions, Agent Three would not care if there were onlywomen in the ward and would come in to keep a close watch on her.
In the VIP ward.
Luca sat on the sofa and heard some noises. She immediately rose to her feet and went to the wardbed.
Jack was the one who woke up.
Luca hurried over and said, “Mr. Norman, you're awake."
Jack's eyes lit up when he heard Luca's voice. He looked in the direction where the voice came fromand saw Luca standing beside his bed. He said, "Luca, are you done with the statement?"
He uttered each word slowly due to the concussion.
Luca knew what was affecting him. Although the concussion would recover in two days, the guilt in herheart was growing rapidly at this moment.
"Yes, Mr. Norman. How do you feel?" Luca asked.
Jack dared not to shake his head. He was afraid that he would puke if he shook his head, so he justsaid, "I'm alright. I still feel dizzy like how it was just now. I'll be fine in two days."
"Okay." Luca felt a lump in her throat. She knew she would choke with sobs if she said something now.
"Luke told me that your hand is injured..."
"I'll be fine. It's just a minor injury," Luca replied immediately.
"You got injured when you were saving Mrs. Norman, right? Let me take a look at it." Jack was lying onthe bed, so his field of vision was limited.
Luca knew Jack would not give up if she refused to let him see where she was hurt. Hence, she raisedher hand and said, "Look, it's just a minor injury. It's all bandaged and I'll be fine."
"Have you gotten the tetanus vaccine?" Jack asked caringly.
"Yes, I have. Don't worry." Luca's eyes welled up with tears uncontrollably.
"The wound must be deep, and it must have hurt. Child, you don't have to be strong in front of me. Itwas us who dragged you into this," Jack babbled. If he could have protected Queenie, she would nothave been held hostage.
That way, Luca would not have injured herself to save Queenie.
Luca shook her head and replied, "Those men were after me. It's my fault."
"If it weren't for Mrs. Norman who asked you to come over to nurse Leia's health, you wouldn't haveended up like this. You can't be blamed for this. What it all boils down to is the misfortune of our family."
Even though the police officer had yet to find out anything, Jack suspected that this had something todo with Leia.
Judging from how much Leia had hated Luca, how could she be easily convinced by Queenie havingLuca come over to nurse her health?
Furthermore, it was also Leia's suggestion for Luca to come to Norman Residence.
