Female Novel
Chapter 2595
The middle-aged woman who was mocked by Leia earlier thought what the caretaker said madesense.
The caretaker was only doing her job, and she did not mock them. Therefore, she said, “She went outwith a disreputable-looking woman. They're probably talking about something others shouldn't belistening to. That's why they went looking for a quiet place to talk."
"Thank you." The caretaker immediately picked up the bag filled with a few water bottles and wentlooking for Leia based on what the middle-aged woman had told her. She eventually saw Leia andMandy at the end of the corridor in the hospital.
Even though Mandy was wearing a mask, the caretaker had memorized the faces of the people whooften appeared around Leia before she came here. That was why she recognized Mandy with just aglance.
She was the woman who was with Matysh.
It seemed like what the middle-aged woman said was true. Their conversation had to be kept secret.
The caretaker pretended to be anxious and headed in their direction. "Ms. Norman."
Leia turned around and glanced at the caretaker when she heard her voice. She pulled a long face andexplained to Mandy, "She's the caretaker my grandma sent."
"Oh." Mandy nodded. She had said what she wanted to say to Leia, so she did not think that thecaretaker's appearance was a big deal. Then, she watched the caretaker walk toward them and sizeher up.
"Ms. Norman, I got you the water you wanted." The caretaker deliberately breathed heavily as thoughshe was in a hurry.
"What took you so long? Are you trying to make me die from dehydration?" Leia raged.
"I'm sorry. It was crowded in the supermarket." The caretaker handed a bottle of water to Leia.
"How am I supposed to drink this if you don't open the bottle cap for me?" Leia did not take the waterbottle from her. "I wonder what made Grandma send you here. How dumb."
"I'm sorry." The caretaker unscrewed the bottle cap and handed Leia the water bottle.
"That's better," mumbled Leia. She noticed that the caretaker stood there stiffly without thinking ofhanding a bottle of water to Mandy. Then, Leia added, "Haven't you noticed that I have a visitor here?Aren't you supposed to hand her a bottle of water too?" "Oh, okay." The caretaker immediately nodded,unscrewed another bottle of water, and handed it to Mandy. "Miss, have some water please."
Mandy took the water bottle from her and turned to look at Leia. “Okay, I guess that's all for today. I'llvisit you again some other day." "Okay. Be careful when you're on your way home." Leia treated Mandyso much better due to the money she received.
After Mandy left, Leia was constantly rolling her eyes at the caretaker, and she had no intention ofreturning to the ward.
It annoyed Leia when she was reminded of the two middle-aged women who spoke ill of her behind herback.
"Ms. Norman, aren't you going back? It's almost time for your IV drip," said the caretaker. Shehappened to see the nurses at the nurses' station mixing the IV solutions, and one of them mentionedLeia's name when she walked out of the elevator.
"Why are you rushing me? Can't you just let me take another sip of water?" Leia took a sip of waterand threw the half-full water bottle into the trash bin right away.
The caretaker saw what Leia did and quietly shook her head behind her. What a waste.
If she were to continue to pretend to be a caretaker to keep an eye on Leia, she would be at a loss forwords...
Leia slowly walked back to the ward. When she entered the ward, the woman on the first ward bedsmiled and asked, "Did you manage to get your water?"
Leia let out a snort and ignored her.
The caretaker replied, "Yes, would you like to have some?"
"I can't afford to drink such expensive water." The patient on the first ward bed immediately rejected theoffer.
Leia replied in an enigmatic manner, "Glad that you're aware of that. These bottles of water canprobably cover the cost of a day's meals for you."
The expression on the patient's face turned sullen when she heard that.
The caretaker pretended like nothing had happened as she placed the water bottles in the cabinet. Shewas secretly complaining and asking why her boss assigned her such a mission.
The other patients were considered kind and good-tempered. If it were not for her being on a missionnow, she might have slapped Leia in the face if she said such things to her.
She would not have cared whose daughter she was!
In the VIP ward.
It was already six o'clock in the evening. Jack and Queenie woke up feeling confused and foggy a fewtimes, but before they could say anything much, they would fall asleep again because of the
medication's effects.
Luca knew what it felt like to have a concussion. It felt awful.
Luca truly wanted to share her parents' pain and burden when she saw how much they were goingthrough.
Luca let out a sigh while staring at the couple on their ward bed.
"Let's go home." As Luke watched Jack fall asleep again, he turned around and said to Luca.
Jack had woken up earlier and asked how Queenie was doing. Then, he asked for the time.
The last sentence he said was to ask Luke and Luca to go home earlier.
"Okay." Luca nodded.
The Norman family's maid had finished giving her statement in the afternoon, and she hurried over tothe hospital to take care of Jack and Queenie. Luca rose to her feet and said to the maid, "If anythinghappens to Mr. and Mrs. Norman, please call me immediately no matter what time it is."
"Okay, Ms. Craw. Don't worry. I'll take good care of Mr. and Mrs. Norman." The maid nodded.
"Don't forget what I've told you," Luke reminded her.
Luke told the maid not to tell Leia or any outsiders about Mr. and Mrs. Norman's situation.
Although the maid found it strange, she promised Luke not to tell the others. Besides, she would nevertell Leia about it even if she threatened her.
After all, she had been serving the Norman family for such a long time. The maid knew very well whomJack was fond of and whom he hated.
"Yes. Don't worry." The maid assured him.
After they left the hospital, Luca realized it was raining. The weather that had yet to turn warm becamecolder.
Luca's body temperature was lower than usual because of the drug she took. A cold gust of wind metthem, and Luke held Luca's hand. He frowned, took his coat off, and draped it over Luca's shoulder.novelbin
"Mr. Crawford, I..." Luca wanted to reject him.
"You'll be warm when we get into the car." Luke held her hand and headed to the parking lot where hehad parked his car.
Luca had no choice but to follow behind him. Luke was right. They would feel warm again if theyhurried and got into the car. Luke would not have to lend his coat to Luca either.
The two of them got into the car.
Luca handed the coat to Luke and said, "Mr. Crawford, it's warm now. Put it on."
"Put it on the backseat of the car," replied Luke as he adjusted the air heater in the car to make itwarmer.
Luca heard him and placed the coat on the backseat of the car. Then, she heard him saying, "There'sno one here now. How should you address me?"
"Luke," Luca responded quickly this time.
Luke nodded satisfyingly and started the car engine.
Luca's phone rang the moment she fastened her seat belt.
She glanced at her phone and noticed that it was the landline from home.
"Hello?" Luca had no idea who was calling her.
Tommy's voice came from the other end of the line. "Ms. Luca, when are you and Daddy coming backhome?"
"We're on our way back. It's half an hour's drive from here. Be good and wait at home. Wait for us tocome back, okay?" Luca glanced at the man beside her. Luke was driving out of the hospital.
It would take 20 minutes to drive from the hospital to the villa. However, it was rush hour now as peoplewere getting off work. Besides, it was raining. There might be traffic congestion too.
