Female Novel
Chapter 2947
The maid had to pay Queenie extra attention this week. She did not say anything since Queenie'sexpression was still calm.novelbin
Queenie's expression remained calm until the legal program ended.
She picked up her phone and entered Matysh's name. News reports started to appear one by one.
Queenie was worried that she might go soft. That was why she did not search for reports related toMatysh during this time, nor had she made an effort to find out about Leia's situation.
Ignorance was her way of avoiding any feelings of compassion.
Unexpectedly, she came across the legal program discussing this case.
After watching it, she searched for the current news and was surprised to find that she felt nocompassion this time.
Knowing that Luca's true identity was Bianca and having fully understood the events of the past,Queenie could no longer muster any sympathy for Leia.
Queenie knew Leia was going to be sentenced. She even felt Leia deserved it. She had no feelings ofpity.
Leia screwed up way too much and stomped on her and Jack's goodwill back then, causing them to gothrough a ton of pain.
Queenie put her phone down and said casually, "Turn off the TV."
"Okay." The maid picked up the remote and turned off the TV.
"Mrs. Norman, would you like to rest for a while?" she asked.
"Yes." Queenie nodded. The hospital was boring, especially when there was no treatment to undergo.She was confined to the hospital ward and could not go anywhere.
If she were back at home, she could whip up some of Jack's favorite food in the kitchen, kick back witha book, knit a bit, or tend to some houseplants to pass the time.
After Queenie lay down, she said to the maid, “After my nap later, can you swing by the
house and grab me some stuff?”
"What do you need?" asked the maid, thinking maybe she should inform Jack to bring it overconsidering that she could not leave the hospital easily.
"Fetch me some books I haven't read and the roll of yarn I haven't finished knitting. I want to pass thetime since there's nothing to do in the hospital," replied Queenie.
"Sure, but Mr. Norman instructed me to stay with you all the time. How about you endure it a bit longerand I'll have Mr. Norman bring them after he finishes work?” the maid proposed. It was not becauseshe did not want to go but because Jack had instructed her not to leave.
"Let's not make him run back and forth. Bring them to me later. There are no injections this afternoon.You don't have to stay here. Besides, it'll only take less than an hour." Queenie did not want Jack to gothrough the trouble.
He was busy with work now. If she told him, he would have to go home after work, deliver the things tothe hospital, and return to his provincial office for overtime. Queenie did not want him to be soexhausted.
"Alright, I'll go back in a while, then." The maid agreed, wondering why Queenie was staying in thehospital since there were no other treatments she had to undergo. She just had t take some medicine.
Plus, there had not been a recurrence of high blood pressure, but the doctor did not mentiondischarging her.
What was even more peculiar was that Queenie had not mentioned about leaving the hospital.
The maid did not understand why, considering how impatient Queenie usually was in the hospital.
Queenie paid no attention to what the maid had in mind. After receiving a response, she closed hereyes to rest for a while.
Leia was not having a good time in detention.
She touched the damp mat and looked at the group of women who were not far away, huddledtogether. They were chatting and casting mocking glances her way. In their eyes and at the corners oftheir mouths, there was nothing but disdain.
Leia pursed her lips, her hands unconsciously clenched into fists.
They were the ones who made her sleeping spot wet.
She just did not know if they had used water or urine to soak her mat.
It had not been this miserable when she was in her darkest days in New York.
"Look at her. What's that expression?" one woman taunted. "Is she angry? That's funny. Big Sis, look athow she clenches her fists in silence but doesn't dare to mess with you. She's just a coward."
"Isn't that right? But I love seeing her like this. So what if she's angry? She can't do anything to us,"another woman chimed in.
The woman they called Big Sis continued to leer at Leia, waiting for her next move.
As Leia listened to their taunts, her anger inside grew.
She really wanted to go up and give each of these people a punch, but if she did, she might not evenget a punch in before these reckless women pinned her down.
Leia knew that even if these people did not gang up on her, with her current physical condition, shecould not handle any of them. If she made a rash move, she would be the one at a disadvantage.
"She's a real wimp." The taunting voices continued. Leia could only take a deep breath and try toignore them.
Leia thought that if she ever had the chance to get out of here, she would not let these people offeasily!
Even if she could not deal with the women inside, they all had families and relatives outside.
She could deal with those people and take revenge for everything she had endured during this time.
However, she had to get out first...
Leia knew that without Jack's help, she had no way out. Hence, even if she had such thoughts, shedared not to think too much.
The more she thought about it, the more disappointed she became.
Leia lowered her head and lightly sniffed the scent on the mat. It was not the strange smell of urine. Itwas just water.
One woman saw her reaction and burst into laughter. "Big Sis, look at what she's doing."
"Haha, is she worried that it's urine?" another woman echoed.
A trace of cruelty flashed across Big Sis' eyes. "Coward."
What could she do by sniffing it? Even if it were urine, Leia would not dare to say anything. The policehere would not show her any special leniency because of her father.
Hence, even if they poured urine on her sleeping spot, they would not face any punishment.
"Why are you making so much noise? Don't you know it's nap time? Take your nap!" A female officeroutside banged on the stainless steel door, instructing them to stop making a racket.
When they heard the female officer's words, the group dispersed in a hurry.
Mandy also leisurely returned to her own sleeping spot. As she passed by Leia, she whispered in a lowvoice, "Leia, these kinds of things happen all the time. Hang in there."
She no longer pretended to be friends with Leia anymore.
They were all in detention. Based on her observation, Leia's foster father did not seem inclined to helpher get out.
Both of them would be sentenced together in the future, and their sentences would be similar.
Therefore, Leia was no longer the Norman family's young lady now. Even if Mandy tried to please her,she would not gain anything good in return. Those women might even cause trouble for her.
Thus, Mandy very consciously joined the ranks of those women. She bullied and belittled Leia togetherwith them.
"Mandy, don't get too cocky. Don't come begging me to get you out later!" Leia heard her words andclenched her teeth.
"You think you're getting out of here? Do you mean after doing time?" Mandy sneered with a coldchuckle.
"You!" Leia could not control her voice when she mentioned jail.
The female officer outside the door impatiently slammed their door again. "It's rest time. Keep quiet!"
