Female Novel
Chapter 1543
“Sir, it’s time to leave.” The Norman family’s chauffeur reminded him. He did not mean to interrupt theirconversation, but Jack had to attend an important meeting today. He would be late if they did not leavenow.
“Alright. I’m leaving for work now.” Jack nodded.
Luca smiled. She let out a sigh of relief after watching Jack leave.
As Queenie’s body was getting better day by day, Jack’s suspicion toward her was getting lesser too.He was more friendly to her now.
Luca felt her heart warm from the kindness he showed her.
She rang Norman Residence’s doorbell.
Soon, the maid came running out to open the door for her. “Ms. Craw, you’re here.”
“Yes, is Mrs. Norman here?” Luca asked.
“Yes, Mrs. Norman and Ms. Norman are here,” the maid blurted out without noticing that she hadspilled the beans.
“Miss?” Luca walked in and asked intentionally. “Isn’t Ms. Norman studying abroad? She’s back?”
The one she was talking about was Bianca, whom Luke had told her about.
The maid covered her mouth and realized she had said too much.
Although Luca did not know much about the Norman family, she was Luke’s subordinate, so sheshould not mention that Leia was back. Hence, Queenie had told her not to let Luca know about Leia’sidentity.
After all, Leia had come back from overseas. Leia was a superstar back then, so Luca would know her.However, now that she had spilled the beans, it seemed like it was difficult to cover it up…
“She’s the other daughter. Uhm, Ms. Craw, it’s my fault for slipping up. Please don’t ask anymore.” Themaid requested. Luca looked gentle and kind. The maid thought that it might be easy to get along withthis kind woman.
Luca nodded, and after she said yes, they walked past the garden and entered the villa.
Queenie stood up from the couch once she saw her coming in. She came forward enthusiastically.“Luca, you’re here.”
“Good morning, Aunt Queenie.” Luca looked at Queenie’s complexion, and she knew her body wasdoing much better than before.
After regulating her body functions with medicine, the toxins in her body were neutralized.
“Good morning. I didn’t expect you to be so early. Have you had breakfast?” Queenie said caringly. Itwas uncertain whether it was because Luca had saved her before or if it was because she found Lucafamiliar as though she was someone dear to her.
That made her unable to resist herself from caring about her.
“I’ve eaten. Oh, may I know where that friend of yours is?” Luca looked around and realized there wereno other people in the living room.
“She’s still upstairs.” Queenie nodded and ordered the maid, “Wake Leia up and ask her to comedownstairs.”
The maid hesitated and said, “Mrs. Norman, Ms. Norman is still asleep.”
Queenie knew how lazy Leia was. She understood that she could not change that. She used to pamperher so much in the past, but things were different now.
“If she’s still asleep, then wake her up. We can’t let Luca wait for her here, right? Hurry up.” She urged.Luca came here to help Leia, but she was still in bed. That was ridiculous.
The maid heard her and went upstairs.
Leia had not learned anything all the years she was abroad. She was grumpy as ever. The maid hadalready seen how grumpy she could be, especially when someone woke her up.
While the maid went to wake Leia up, Queenie smiled and waved to Luca. “Luca, come over here andsit with me.”
Luca nodded and sat beside Queenie.
Queenie poured her a cup of scented tea. “Try some. I just made it.”
Luca picked up the cup. The aromatic scent of the tea filled the air. The scent was not affected by thestrong aroma of the tea leaves. It had a pleasant smell.
“It smells nice.” Luca took a sip. The tea did not only smell nice but the taste was good too.
“I love studying scented tea. But other than my elder daughter and I who know how to appreciate it, theothers in the family aren’t interested in it. Ever since she went to study abroad, I have no one to drinktea with anymore.” Queenie sighed.
Luca secretly apologized to Queenie in her heart as she listened to her.
She believed that even if the fake Bianca were here, she would not accompany Queenie to drink tea.
Queenie was a magnanimous person. She would not remember the bad things, and she would onlyremember the good things others had done. Otherwise, how could she let Leia come back here?
Leia washed up and went downstairs unhappily after being woken up by the maid.
She felt resentful all of a sudden when she saw Queenie holding Luca’s hand so eagerly.
“Good morning, Mom.” Leia walked toward her. If squeezing between Luca and Queenie was not achildish act, she would have done that.
“It’s late. The doctor who’s here to treat you is already here. Shame on you for staying in bed. You’renot afraid that she might laugh at you, huh?” Queenie was secretly blaming her for being insensible.
Leia looked at the woman in front of her. This was the woman?
Such a young doctor? She even treated Queenie and ruined her plan? She was the one who almosthad her caught by Jack’s men?
Leia instantly disliked her even more.
She showed a gentle expression and said, “Mom, it’s hard to get rid of the jet lag. That’s why Ioverslept. I’m sorry. Please don’t be mad at me. I’ll try my best to get over it.”
Queenie no longer blamed her when she saw Leia’s pale face. She looked like she was about to faintanytime. After all, Queenie could not blame her for the jet lag.
“Alright, I didn’t mean to blame you. But it’s not good to let Luca wait for too long. Come and sit down,”said Queenie, letting it pass.
Luca?
How intimate…
Leia was secretly mocking Luca. It was only because she did not have the chance now. She wouldteach the person who ruined her plans a lesson if she had the chance to.
She sat on the other couch.
Queenie glanced at Luca.
Luca understood and asked, “Ms. Norman, what seems to be the trouble?”
“Leia—”
Leia interrupted Queenie when she was about to talk. “I heard Mom telling me that you have goodmedical skills, especially in naturopathy? Naturopathy focuses on the body’s capacity to heal itself.Won’t you know if you take my pulse?”
Queenie shook her head as she listened to Leia’s harsh tone. “Leia, stop being impolite.”
Luca looked at Leia’s snobbish expression. After all these years of staying abroad, she had yet to learnher lesson. She thought she was superior to others when she returned to the Norman family?
Queenie was the only one left in the family who would defend her. However, she even dared to poisonQueenie back then…
Luca had no idea what Leia was thinking.
Luca replied, “It’s alright. What Ms. Norman said is true. In naturopathy, taking the patient’s pulse canhelp in diagnosing the diseases and condition of the body.”novelbin
Queenie agreed and nodded. “Indeed, Luca was able to diagnose what was wrong with me bychecking my pulse.”
Leia thought she purposely mentioned it as she listened to her.
Did Queenie not say that it was in the past? Why was she mentioning it again? Did she want her to feelguilty about it?
