Chapter 774 How the Tables Have Turned
Seeing Leia's tear-stained face as she sobbed broken-heartedly in Queenie's arms, Bianca could onlyfind it very funny.
She glanced at the blood-speckled bandages on Leia's wrist and rolled her eyes. She did not expectthat Leia would hurt herself to get out of the drug rehab center.
She remembered that Leia was afraid of pain.
Leia would not even dare to get an injection, but she somehow found the courage to cut herself. Biancahad underestimated her.
Bianca composed herself and wiped her eyes with her shirt sleeve. She pretended to be sad as she satdown in front of Leia and Queenie. "Mom, is Leia okay? I heard that she tried to slit her wrist. Howcould she be so silly?" She asked softly.
Leia's body trembled when she heard Bianca's voice. Fires of resentment burned in her eyes.
It took her a long time to control her emotions. She lifted her head and looked at Bianca pitifully. "ElderSister..."
Queenie noticed that Bianca was in the ward. She let go of Leia, looked at her elder daughter, andwiped the tears from her eyes. "Your younger sister is fine. The doctor said that her wound is verydeep. If she was sent to the hospital slightly later, she might have lost her life... Sigh, my poor child!"
Bianca glanced at Leia when she heard her call "Elder Sister."
Did that woman change her strategy to evoke pity? She had rarely called her "Elder Sister."
Bianca was not going to call Leia out. She reached out and held Leia's other hand and comforted her."You shouldn't have tried to kill yourself, Leia. You only live once, and you shouldn't waste it just likethat. Don't you know that Dad and Mom have been fretting while you were away in rehab? Dad hasbeen chain-smoking even though he was never a smoker, and Mom cries every day. Please don't letthem down anymore, and stay away from drugs. It'll ruin your life."
Queenie cried even harder after she heard Bianca say that, while Leia was laughing up her sleeve.
'Look at how sincere she's trying to be. Is there a need to mention my drug habit in front of Mom againand again? That's just pouring salt on her wound!
'Furthermore, if my adoptive parents really care about me, would they allow me to be bullied in therehab center and not believe what I tell them?'
However, Leia knew that she had to lay low for a while. She would not want to be sent back to the drugrehab center again.
"Thank you for your advice, Elder Sister. This was all my fault," she said superficially, "I won't touchdrugs ever again, Mom, and I shouldn't disobey you and Dad. I swear I'll be a better person... I don'thope for your forgiveness, but I hope that you'll allow me to remain in the Norman household so that Ican continue to serve you and Dad..."
Leia knew what Queenie's weak points were.
She did not believe that her adoptive mother would disown her. After all, she had been Queenie'sdaughter for over a decade.
As expected, Queenie's tear-streaked face trembled agitatedly as she hugged Leia tightly. "You are ourdaughter, Leia. We might not be related by blood, but I've always treated you as my birth daughter.What do you mean, allowing you to remain in the household? Why would I drive you out?"
Leia looked at Bianca timidly. "Elder Sister, would you... would you accept me in the family?"
Bianca furrowed her brows.
She did not believe that Leia would change her personality for the better in only two months.
She would be genuinely happy for Leia if Leia would repent and not cause any more trouble. However,if she would do anything detrimental to her parents or the Norman household, Bianca would not forgiveher.
Bianca smiled and said to Leia, "We're a family, aren't we? We would always welcome you with openarms as long as you learn from your mistakes."
Queenie was relieved when she heard that.
She knew that her elder daughter was not a petty person and would not hold grudges against heryounger daughter for her mistakes. She tousled Leia's hair and said, "Your elder sister has alwaysmissed you, Leia. Why would she not welcome you? Let's go home after you're discharged from thehospital..."
Bianca also went up and held Leia's hands eagerly. Don't overthink it, Leia. Stay in the hospital whileyou recover. I'll come and visit you often.
Remember this, Leia, people will forgive you if you make a mistake, but if you do it too often, not evenDad and Mom can save you..."
Bianca thought that she was at least as good an actress as Leia.
To Queenie, Bianca was a magnanimous, sensible, and kind elder sister to Leia. She would do her bestto play that role.
She was kind, but she was not stupid.
Leia was an ingrate, and Bianca did not know when Leia would harm them. That was why she put onan act whenever she interacted with her younger sister.
Leia could tell that Bianca was acting. She hated the fact that Bianca's acting skills were improving bythe day. Even their mother believed that Bianca genuinely cared for her.
She could hear the implications of Bianca's words: She sounded like she was caring, but she would nothesitate to drive Leia out of the household if she went out of line.
Leia was angry, but she had nowhere to release her anger. "Thank you for your advice, Elder Sister. Ihad been naive, and I've learned my lesson. I won't do anything silly again." "Mm. Remember what yousaid today." Bianca felt cathartic when she saw the usually arrogant Leia become so docile.novelbin
In the past, Leia had been the bully because of her status as Jack and Queenie Norman's daughter.She had even tried to snatch Luke from Bianca. Now that the tables had turned on her, was it karma?
Leia gritted her teeth when she saw how smug Bianca was. She clenched onto the hem of her sleeveso tightly that she almost tore it off, but she had to put on a guilty and regretful expression.
She had already put on the act for so long, and she was not going to break character that easily.
Queenie did not know the hidden barbs in her daughters' conversation. She was happy that the twohad made up to each other...
