Female Novel
Chapter 2270
The operating room was colder than the outside. Luca was worried that Queenie would catch a cold ifshe sat there for a few hours.
Queenie shook her head, refusing to change her seat. She stared at the operating room and said, “I'lljust sit here."
"Mrs. Norman, Ms. Norman will need you to take care of her after the surgery. You have to take care ofyourself. You'll catch a cold easily..." Luca knew she was not easy to convince. She knew Queeniemust be thinking of being the first to stand up when the doctor was calling for Leia's family.
Luca had no choice but to use Leia as an excuse.
Sure enough, after Queenie listened to Luca's reasonable words, she stood up and moved to the seatbeside her.
Jack, who stood far away, saw them and let out a helpless sigh. "Luca is the only one who canconvince her."
Luke was watching the two of them too. "Mother looks pale."
"Although we've found the donor, Queenie was so nervous that she stayed up all night knowing thatLeia was going for the surgery. She refused to take any sleeping pills too. How could she not lookpale?" There was a hint of resentment in Jack's voice.
After all, the couple had lived a peaceful life at first, but after Leia came back, she messed everythingup.
It had been a long time since Queenie slept well.
"Dr. Park said that the risk is higher this time because Leia is in poor health. He told me to be mentallyprepared," said Jack.
"Does Mother know about this?" asked Luke.novelbin
"Dr. Park knows she's not doing well. He only told me about this," replied Jack. Now that Queenie haddevoted herself to Leia, she would break down if anything happened to her.
Jack did not want the incident that happened 20 years ago to happen again.
Luke slightly nodded. Nevertheless, he had confidence in Johann.
"Luke, let me talk to you about something. It's about Luca. Please settle it as soon as possible. If Leiacan't make it this time, I hope our biological daughter can reveal her identity and stay by her side.Otherwise, she'll lose her mind," What Jack wanted to talk about was this matter.
If Leia managed to survive, he would not stop Luke from getting his revenge. After all, Leia had to bearthe consequences of everything she had done before.
However, if Leia did not make it, he was hoping that Luca could prove that her true identity was Biancain front of Queenie to soothe the pain in her heart.
"It'll take some time," said Luke. “She has a big organization behind her. Besides, according to theinformation I've obtained, the cases of famous people getting murdered around the world might havesomething to do with this organization. I have to be careful to keep her safe."
“I understand... I just hope that this can be settled as soon as possible," Jack nodded. The way helooked at Luca seemed helpless.
He was a soldier when he was young, but the situation had gotten worse at that time. Somethinghappened, and he was unable to accompany them on the day she was born, which led to what
happened next.
Now, he had power and authority. His daughter was forced to hide her true identity and live assomeone else. She was even threatened by a secret organization. Still, there was nothing he could do.
Luca's future was counting on Luke.
The two of them looked at the two women from far away in silence.
After a while, Jack broke the silence and said, “Dexter and Leia entered the operating room at thesame time."
There was only one way to get into the operating room, which was through that door. Luke frowned andasked, “Did Dexter and Leia meet each other?"
“Yes," Jack recalled what happened just now.
Dexter kept on calling her when he saw Leia, and he told her that he would save her life no matter howmuch liver was cut from him.
That kind look on Dexter's face made Jack think that Dexter's personality had switched to anotherperson's.
After all, he only promised to donate part of his liver to Leia for the sake of money back then.
Leia was smart. She did not say anything and just ignored Dexter when she faced him. She showed nogratitude to the person who donated the liver to her.
Jack stood beside them like a person who had nothing to do with this. He watched them until the two ofthem were pushed into different operating rooms.
“Drama?" Luke did not ask much. He only knew that Leia would have ignored Dexter. She must havefelt disgusted when the two of them met each other.
It was because of that that Jack told Johann not to let Dexter see Leia and prevent him from upsettingher. That would bring no good to Leia's health.
“Yes." Jack understood what he meant and said, “Let's go back and accompany them."
“Okay." Luke walked back.
He sat down beside Luca while Jack sat beside Queenie.
Queenie leaned on Jack's shoulder and asked in a worried voice, “Dear, it's been an hour. Why isn'tthere any news from the doctor?"
Jack held Queenie's cold hands. He frowned and replied, “No news from the doctor means goodnews."
"Yes, Mrs. Norman. Usually, the doctor has already started the surgery. He won't send anyone outunless there's an unexpected situation. Don't worry." Luca comforted Queenie too. She placed thejacket in her hands on Queenie's thigh and added, "It's colder here. Keep yourself warm."
Luca brought another jacket along with her before she left the villa. She was worried that Queenie didnot come prepared. That was why she had been carrying it along with her.
“Thank you.” Queenie felt cold, but it was not because she was not warm enough.
It was because she was worried about Leia. It was the anxiety that made her feel cold.
Luca smiled and continued to stare at the entrance of the operating room.
Normally, a transplant surgery would need four to five hours to complete if there were no unexpectedsituations. That was why Leia would not be able to come out so quickly.
Perhaps even Leia did not expect that there would be so many people waiting for her outside theoperating room.
Luca recalled the time she gave birth on the Island of Despair.
The medical resources on the Island of Despair were sufficient, and an operating room was providedfor Shanks to perform the surgery.
Luca did everything she could to give birth to Nyla, but she was anesthetized and her looks changedafter that.
Eler was the only one who stood outside the operating room and waited for her when Luca was pushedout of the room with her face wrapped with bandages. She was unable to see the man she loved andher family.
However, Leia had done so many evil things and she still had family members waiting for her outsidethe operating room.
In contrast, Leia was more fortunate than her.
Luca sat on the chair, feeling a little thirsty.
She rose to her feet, and Luke immediately asked, "Where are you going?”
"I'm thirsty. I'd like to go downstairs and buy some beverages," answered Luca.
Luke thought of accompanying her, but he had to stay here just in case something happened to Leia.Hence, he nodded and did not follow Luca.
Luca went to the vending machine downstairs and bought four bottles of drinking water.
She saw Marie when she was about to leave. She stood there and frowned.
They were not far away from each other. Luca noticed that there were black and blue patches onMarie's face. She had a gauze bandage on her forehead too, and some blood soaked through thegauze.
Why was she in such a flustered state?
"What's wrong with you?" Luca arrived before her. Her brows furrowed deeper as she looked at herexsister.
Judging from the wounds on Marie's face, she knew it was not because of an accident. It was more likeshe got beaten up by someone.
"It's none of your business," Marie snapped at her impatiently when she saw Luca. Marie limpedaround and tried to bypass her.
