Chapter 2628
“Then why did you call me^" asked the police officer, helplessly trailing off.
"I'm wondering what the progress is with my parents' assault case. Has there been any evidence onwho they were and what their move was?" Leia needed to deduce if the police officers had found outthat Matysh was behind this.
Matysh had already given her the money. Leia no longer wanted anything to do with him,
She was worried that Matysh would tell on her if they caught Matysh.
"We're still looking into it, and I'm not supposed to share any details. Once we find something, we'llannounce it to the public," answered the police officer.
"Again
"Again..." Leia rolled her eyes. "Do you think I'm a fool?"
"I'm sorry but it's the rules," said the police officer.
"I don't care about the rules. The fact of the matter is, my parents are injured and it's because of thesepeople, right? Now you're telling me that you can't tell me anything, even though you're looking into it.How am I supposed to explain to them what happened?" sighed Leia. "How about this, I'll throw you abone. I suspect Luca was the one behind this. While it looked like those men were going after her, theywere actually targeting my parents. I think she's the one behind it if you ask me. Arrest her before shehas the chance to hurt my parents again." fumed Leia. She was pissed, pissed at the thought of Lucastanding beside Luke.novelbin
While she no longer had feelings for Luke, she thought that Luca did not deserve him.
Seeing Luca standing next to Luke, it was as if she was flaunting her new-found status.
Luca had even followed Luke to the VIP floor!
As Jack and Queenie's daughter, she knew nothing about her parents' situation, but Luca knew howthey were doing!
Therefore, Leia thought of asking the police officers to arrest Luca when they were here giving her therunaround.
Of course, Leia knew Luca was not the one who was behind this.
Still, she did not want to make things easy for Luca.
The police officer did not know whether to laugh or cry. He could not help but wonder how ridiculous itwas for Leia to be ordering them around while she refused to cooperate with them.
“Ms. Norman, leave it to us. All your need to do is rest and wait for our announcement. If there shouldbe nothing else, I'll need to be getting back to work." hung up the police officer.
There had not been much progress in Jack and Queenie's case. The police officers were working dayand night to investigate it.
All you have to do is nurse your health and wait for our news. If there's nothing else, I need to get backto work." The police officer hung up the call after that.
The police officer had hung up on Leia. A stormy cloud immediately consumed Leia as she walked toher wardroom.
Her caretaker was sitting on the chair, watching the evening soap opera.
Leia stomped into the ward and yelled, "Stop watching the television. Peel an apple for me."
The caretaker knew that Leia's plan of getting into the VIP room had failed when she entered the roomfuming with eyes ablaze.
She picked up the apple and took her time to peel it.
Leia was ready to kick up a storm when she noticed the caretaker remained unbothered. "You're tooslow. Are you trying to starve me to death?"
"Ms. Norman, if you think I'm slow, you can peel it yourself. Apple peels are packed with nutrients,"replied the caretaker calmly, peeling the apple slowly.
The patient beside Leia's ward bed could not help but let out a snigger when she heard what thecaretaker said.
This caretaker was something else indeed.
Leia was rendered speechless.
Leia was embarrassed after realizing that there was a spectator to her little spectacle, "I'm going to fireif you continue to treat me like this."
"Ms. Norman, you're already famous in the hospital. I'm afraid it'll be difficult to find you a caretaker nomatter how much you try to pay them. If you'd like to fire me, you'll have to buy breakfast yourself andtake your medicine on time without anyone reminding you. No one will be here to serve you. Well, itsounds difficult for you, especially when you're used to being treated like a princess. Would you be ableto get used to it when you have to do everything yourself?" asked the caretaker.
Although Luke had sent her here to keep an eye on Leia, she would not go easy on her.
If she was sent to watch over anybody else, she would have been conscientious. She would havefollowed any orders given.
However, Leia was very bad-tempered. She decided to help Mr. and Mrs. Norman tame Leia's temperfor free.
Unexpectedly, it takes one to know one, and it worked on her.
Leia's cheeks flamed with anger as the caretaker handed her the apple. "Ms. Norman, I've peeled theapple for you. Eat."
Leia refused to take it from her.
Then, the caretaker added, "It's going to oxidize later if you don't eat it now. Look at you. You'reprobably mad because the people upstairs don't let you in. Have an apple to cool your temper."
The caretaker stuffed the apple into Leia's hand.
"Argh!" shouted Leia as she took a bite of the apple. After spending a day together with the caretaker,she realized that the caretaker was not someone who would bow down to Leia.
After, Leia mentioned to Grandma Norman about replacing the caretaker.
However, Grandma Norman told Leia that the other caretakers in the hospital were reluctant to take thejob. She asked her to put up with it and not to be picky.
That was why the caretaker was not replaced with someone else.
The caretaker smiled when she saw Leia take a bite of the apple. "Fruits are good for you. The doctorsaid that eating fruits is good for your health."
On the other hand.
Luke and Luca walked into Mr. and Mrs. Norman's wardroom.
"Luke? Luca? Why are you here at this hour?" asked Jack, surprised to see them.
After all, Luke would normally inform them in advance if he would be coming to visit.
"Rain sent me a video just now. I think it'd be better for the two of you to take a look at it," explainedLuke as he took his laptop out. Then, he said to the caretaker, "You may leave now."
The caretaker nodded and stepped out of the wardroom. Jack and Queenie's condition was stable. Itwould be fine if no caretakers were looking after them at night.
"What is it?" asked Queenie. She was curious.
Luke remained silent. Then, Jack realized what they would be watching when he noticed Luke'sbehavior.
Jack instructed Rain to retrieve his computer case. The computer was connected to the surveillancecameras of the Norman residence.
Jack's face darkened. If Luke was showing them the footage, it meant he found something.
It was probably what they speculated.
Queenie was quick to notice the changes in Jack's expression and Luke turned on the laptop withoutsaying anything. She could not help but feel anxious, "What happened?"
"Mrs. Norman, take it easy." comforted Luca. She could not bear to see Queenie so anxious before shewatched the footage.
Queenie pursed her lips and looked at them.
The door was being pushed open, and Johann came in. "I'm here."
"Okay." nodded Luke and placed the laptop on the coffee table.
Before Luke could say anything, Queenie questioned again, "Why is Dr. Park here too?"
Queenie suddenly realized that the reason why Johann had come was probably because of her...
Perhaps there was something that could overwhelm her with shock in the video.
Jack turned to look at Queenie, "Don't watch if you don't feel like watching the video. Let me handlethis."
Queenie tugged at his sleeves and shook her head. She stood with determination, "Dear, I'd like towatch the video."
"Then be prepared for it." Jack held her hands, walked toward the sofa, and sat down.
Luke pressed the play button with his lips pursed.
In the video, there was footage of Leia walking out of the villa, heading to the backyard garden,opening the door, pretending as if nothing happened, then returning to the house.
