Chapter 2850

After a while, Leia's voice could be heard from the bedroom.

“Surabaya, you b*tch. Are you still there?"

Surabaya could hear the tiredness in Leia's voice.

She heard from the Norman family's maid that Leia would previously only get up at noon if she did nothave any important plans.

Locking her up like this actually helped with her sleep schedule.

Surabaya rubbed her chin in thought. Leia's new habit of going to bed early and getting up early wasprobably to prepare her for the future.novelbin

Jack had a copy of the audio clips too.

With the tangible evidence, Jack managed to persuade Queenie to let go of this matter and leave it tothe police and the judge.

Jack even told Queenie that it was for Leia's own good.

Leia's circumstances were not that bad, so she would be able to turn over a new leaf in there.

After Queenie found out what Leia had done, she agreed. She knew that Leia had become who shewas today because of her coddling. Now, she no longer had the strength or the ability to control Leiaanymore.

After listening to the clips, Queenie knew that if Leia could do something like this once, she would beable to do it a second time.

Surabaya put an end to her train of thought and lazily said to the irritable person inside, "Ms. Norman,breakfast hasn't been delivered yet, so don't worry."

"How long are you going to keep me locked up?" Leia sat on a chair behind the door while pressing onher twitching eyelid.

She had a nightmare last night, and her right eyelid had been twitching since she woke up today.

She got so flustered that she did not curse after hearing Surabaya's voice. Instead, she just asked in abad tone.

Surabaya raised her eyebrows outside the door. Why was Leia not cursing today?

"How would I know that? If Mr. Norman calms down, he might let you out." As soon as she said that,she saw the maid bringing breakfast.

"I'm not feeling well. I need to see a doctor." Leia rolled her eyes when she picked up the lightness inSurabaya's voice.

What was she so happy about?

Leia thought of the dream she had last night and had a feeling that something bad was happening.

"You're not feeling well?" Surabaya glanced at the maid and nodded. "Please inform the family doctorthat Ms. Norman is not feeling well and have him come over."

"Yes, Ms. Surabaya. Here's your breakfast, and this is Ms. Norman's breakfast and medicine." Themaid gently placed the tray on the coffee table beside her. "I'll go inform the doctor now."

The Norman family's doctor was originally assigned to Old Master Norman and Old Mrs. Norman. Hewas highly skilled in medicine and also served the Norman family.

Leia, who was sitting behind the door, heard the maid's words and shouted impatiently, "I want to go tothe hospital!"

If she wanted to escape, she could only go to the hospital instead of having the family doctor come toher.

Besides, the family doctor worked for Jack too.

Even if the family doctor knew that she was being locked up by Jack, he would not say a word. WithSurabaya here, Leia might not be able to escape even if the bedroom door was open.

She could not help but feel anxious at the thought of this.

The maid was startled. Then, she asked Surabaya with her eyes, 'Should we send her to the hospital?'

If that were the case, they would have to call an ambulance.

Surabaya shook her head, indicating that she did not need to call an ambulance. Then, she said, "Ms.Norman, from your voice, it sounds like you're still full of energy. You don't seem like you have anyserious discomfort. Let's wait for the family doctor to come and give you a check-up before we decidewhether or not you should go to the hospital."

Leia gritted her teeth behind the door.

The maid hurried downstairs to call the family doctor afterward.

Queenie was sitting on the sofa, unclear of what was going on upstairs. When the maid came down ina hurry, she thought something happened. "What's wrong?"

"Ms. Norman said that she's not feeling well, so Ms. Surabaya said to call the family doctor," said themaid as she picked up the landline beside her to call the family doctor.

Queenie stood up anxiously. "Is she sick?"

The maid held the receiver of the phone and thought for a while. Ultimately, she agreed to Surabaya'swords and answered, "I'm not sure, but Ms. Norman doesn't sound sick."

Queenie frowned, worried sick.

"Mrs. Norman, let's wait until Dr. Cairn gets here," said the maid. When he picked up the call, she toldhim about the situation and hung up after he agreed to come.

"I'm a little worried. This won't do. I need to inform my husband," said Queenie. Jack had accumulateda lot of work, so he had to get up early every single day to go to work at the provincial governmentoffice.

She picked up her phone and called Jack.

“Dear, Leia said that she's not feeling well, and I'm afraid that something might happen to her. Can youcome back?" Queenie said immediately after the call was connected.

She was genuinely worried as Leia's health was not in good condition.

Jack's voice could be heard from the other end. "Don't worry about her."

"What if she really is sick?" Queenie knew what Jack was thinking, but it was better to be safe thansorry.

"Then she'll have to bear it." Jack was still as cruel as ever. If he granted Leia's wish and sent her tothe hospital, she might run away. Luke had already sent him a message to inform him that the personwho had worked with her to bring down Luca and the Norman family had already been sent to thepolice station, and all the evidence had been submitted as well.

Therefore, the police may take action today.

"Dear, nothing will happen with Surabaya watching." Queenie sighed as she wanted to send Leia to thehospital for a check-up.

During this period when Leia had been locked up, she had not gone upstairs as she was afraid that shewould feel sorry for her.

She did not even know how Leia was doing.

"Do you know the consequences if Leia escapes from the hospital?" Jack's tone became sterner.

Sensing his seriousness, Queenie did not know what to say. She was taken aback, and she guessedthat Jack was angry because of her soft-hearted ness.

Before he went to work today, she even promised him that no matter what Leia did, she would not beswayed.

She had promised him with a smile on her face.

"Dear, I'm afraid something might happen to her in her room..." Queenie explained timidly. Even if sheknew that there was no hope left for Leia, she did not want anything bad to happen to her.

"All the evidence has been handed over to the police, so they'll come to the house today. If Leia goesto the hospital now and escapes, she'll become a fugitive." Jack could only say this much.

After being with him for so long, Queenie knew that the law in A City was not tolerant of fugitives. Leiawould not be pardoned even if she was sick, and her sentence of one year would turn into two or threeyears.

If she really escaped, the consequences would be grave.

"So soon?" Queenie gasped in bewilderment.

Although she had mentally prepared herself for Leia's arrest, she still had mixed feelings when shefound out that the police were coming.
