Female Novel
Chapter 2255
Tommy, who was on the side, stared at the TV screen intently. When he heard what Luca said, hecould not help but mutter to himself, "I don't like Aunt Leia. Aunt Leia looks like she eats children. She'sscary."
Luca knew that Leia hated her three kids because of Bianca.
Although the children were innocent and somewhat ignorant, they still noticed her expression. As such,they were not only afraid of Leia but they also hated her.
Although the adults had not told them any of the despicable things that Leia did, they all knew.
Rainie asked, "Ms. Luca, is Aunt Leia ill?"
"Yeah." Luca nodded and said, "Which is why she needs her biological father to help."
Tommy put his head on Luca and looked up at her. "Ms. Luca, Aunt Leia is so bad. Will her daddy saveher?"
"He'll likely agree if their blood type matches..." Luca guessed that there was a chance Dexter wouldsay yes.
Even though Dexter did not have much affection for Leia, he would not go against money.
She could not buy a liver source from the black market, but Dexter was Leia's father, so it was legal topay him to save Leia.
"I'm terrified of seeing Aunt Leia," Tommy added.
Luca was speechless. She was locked up on the Island of Despair for the same duration as when Leiawas abroad.
Tommy was a baby before she left. How could he have so many memories of Leia?
It seemed that fear could be deeply ingrained in people's hearts. Tommy still remembered Leia's sternexpression. That memory seemed to be etched into the bottom of his heart.
Luca was a little worried about Nyla, who was still on the Island of Despair.
One day, she would rescue Nyla from that horrible place. She would show her the sun, the sea, and thegrassland. Luca wanted nothing more than to erase every memory she had on the Island of Despair.
However, could the deep-rooted memory be erased?
Luca was worried sick.
Luke did not head to the shelter immediately after he left the villa. Instead, he asked Lliam to send himto the Norman family's place.
After all, he was not a relative of Leia. Someone from the Norman family had to come forward for this.
After Luke explained the situation to Jack, Jack agreed to go with him to the shelter to find Dexter.
The two arrived at the Blue Skies Shelter together.
After they explained the situation to the director of the shelter, he took them to Dexter's dormitory andsaid, "This is Dexter's dormitory. He has seven roommates. If you feel it's inconvenient to talk in front ofso many people, there's a pantry you can go to behind here.”
"Thank you." Jack nodded and opened the dormitory door.
Although this kind of shelter was funded by the state, it was for the homeless, after all. The conditionswere not very good. An overwhelming pungent smell overwhelmed their senses the moment theyopened the door.
Luke frowned.
The director did not go in. He stood at the door and said, "Dexter, someone is looking for you."
Dexter heard him, put on his slippers, and walked out slowly, "Who is it..."
When he saw Luke, he recognized who was in front of him.
Someone had shown him a video and asked him to talk to the reporters about it. They promised him asum of money if he did so.novelbin
After he agreed, he also saw the scene where the man returned to the car and reported to LukeCrawford, the richest man in A City. Dexter recognized him just by looking at his side profile.
"It's you!" He pointed at Luke, his fingers trembling slightly.
Luke stared blankly at Dexter. He had always been a clean freak and could not stand such a messyenvironment.
Jack glanced at the two of them calmly and said, "Mr. Dexter, shall we go to the pantry in the back totalk?"
"Okay." It was clear from Dexter's tone that he was excited. He recognized Jack as well. He knew thatthere would be some money coming his way since an established businessman and a politician hadcome to look for him.
The shelter director took the two to the pantry and left after he asked the homeless who gathered thereto play cards to leave.
Dexter squinted at the two men in suits, picked his nose, and asked, "What do you need my help for?"Jack said, "Leia is sick."
'Leia?'
Dexter frowned and responded, "What does her being sick have to do with me? You've raised her formore than 20 years. Don't tell me that you're asking me to cover her medical bills now? I don't have themoney."
Jack frowned. He had investigated Dexter after Leia's reputation was ruined by him.
He was a gambling addict who sold his wife and daughter for money...
However, that was all in the past. Jack said, "Only you can save Leia now."
"Save her? Are you kidding me? That girl has nothing to do with me even if she's dying. After all, shedidn't acknowledge me as her father when she was popular. Now that she's sick, she wants my help?You're her adoptive father, right? You can tell her to dream on." Dexter sneered. He was standing therewith his arms crossed, and his legs shook like he had Parkinson's.
After he got some money from Luke, Dexter knew that Leia was worthless to him, so he had not shownup again.
Sure enough, after he made such a fuss, there was no more of Leia's work on TV or the internet.
Therefore, he felt at ease staying in this shelter with poor conditions. At least the country was keepinghim alive.
Luke looked at his hooligan-like appearance and understood why Leia was such a terrible person.
"You'll be rewarded handsomely if you can save Leia," Luke said. He had discussed this with Jack inthe car.
Jack was the provincial governor and someone of special status. They would have to pay him off ifDexter had no conscience and refused to save Leia.
After all, it made sense for Luke to pay someone to save his sister-in-law, Leia. That would preventJack from having any blackmail material falling into the hands of his political enemies.
Jack also agreed to Luke's plan, but he insisted that the money would not be paid by Luke. He wouldpay back Luke with some interest after his retirement.
Dexter's eyes lit up when money was mentioned. "Money makes the world go round. How can I saveher? Do you want my blood? Skin? As long as it doesn't involve my life, I can give it to her."
Jack's gaze turned cold seeing his greed for money and fear of death. He did not believe it whensomeone used to tell him that a child's personality followed their parents.
After all, children were young and could be taught about right and wrong. Even if the parents wereterrible, there was a chance to avoid letting the same thing happen to the kid if there were propermeasures in place to educate them.
However, it was clear through parts of their personalities that Dexter and Leia were carved out of thesame mold.
Dexter had never been involved in educating Leia nor had any contact with her when she was growingup.
However, her bad qualities were exactly the same as Dexter's.
"She has a liver problem and needs a transplant," Jack said.
Dexter shook his head immediately when he heard the word 'liver'. "I can't live without a liver! No way!"
"She doesn't need a whole liver. It'll just be a partial transplant. It won't affect you much," Jack told him.
