Chapter 2272
“Okay, stop walking. Sit down and have some bread." Jack took the bag from Luke and put it aside. Hegrabbed Queenie's hand, almost squeezing it. He asked her to sit down on the bench.novelbin
Queenie's face was pale white, and there was a worried look on her face. "I'm not hungry. Go ahead."
"You haven't eaten anything since morning. How are you going to have any energy if you don't eatnow?" Jack frowned unhappily. He did not say a word after everything she had done for Leia.
However, Jack could not help but speak in a stern voice when he saw her not eating anything justbecause she was worried about Leia.
The reason Jack allowed Leia to stay in his house was only that he had taken this situation intoconsideration. Queenie needed a daughter by her side to comfort her anxiety.
However, he did not expect that Leia could be such a hassle.
"I..." Queenie looked at the bread and milk. Jack was already mad at her.
Jack opened the bread packaging and said in a serious tone, "Eat it."
Luca went along with him and said, "Mrs. Norman, you won't have the energy to take care of Ms.Norman later if you don't eat something. She needs your attentive care after she gets the surgery. Atleast eat something. If you don't eat anything, you'll feel dizzy once you get busy due to low bloodsugar. Should the caretaker look after you or Ms. Norman then?"
"Alright, I'll eat some," Queenie had no appetite as she was worried. She did not feel hungry.
However, what Luca said made sense. She had to take care of herself first to look after Leia.
Queenie took the bread and milk from Jack and took a nibble.
Queenie ate half of the bread and could no longer eat anymore. She said, "I'm done."
Her appetite was usually small. Jack did not ask her to eat more. He took her bread and finished therest of it for her.
Luca shot a glance at Luke. He did not eat much. He was probably not used to it.
Luke only took a bite or two of the bread. Luca said in a soft voice, "Mr. Crawford, there's a restaurantnear the hospital. Why don't you have lunch there?"
"No, thank you. I'm not hungry," Luke no longer forced himself to eat the bread and threw the bread intothe trash bin.
He had gotten used to eating Luca's yummy home-cooked food. The bread was tasteless to him. It washard for him to swallow it.
"But.”
Luke interrupted her, "I ate a lot for breakfast. That's why I'm not hungry."
Luca did not say anything more.
Luke often skipped meals when he was busy with work. Hence, it was normal for him.
Another half an hour had passed.
Johann finally walked out of the operating room when Queenie was worried sick.
"Dr. Park, how's Leia?" Queenie was the first one to charge toward him and ask about Leia's situation.Even though Johann was wearing a mask, Queenie's eyes were sharp enough to recognize him.
"The surgery is a success, but she's too weak. We'll transfer her to the ICU for a night. If there'snothing wrong with her tomorrow, we'll transfer her back to the ordinary ward," said Johann.
Luca let out a sigh of relief when she heard that the surgery went smoothly.
Queenie was thrilled. Tears welled up in her eyes as she confirmed with him again, "Is Leia reallyokay?"
"The surgery went well so far. Besides, nothing happened during the surgery, but she has to be undermedical observation for some time. We'll need to see if she develops any complications after thesurgery and whether or not her body can accept the liver. If her body doesn't reject the transplant, she'llbe discharged from the hospital and allowed to go back home to rest," Johann provided a detailedexplanation to her.
"Doesn't that mean Leia might still be in danger..." Queenie's brows furrowed again after relieving them.
"This is a situation that might occur to every patient. The hospital will keep her under observation, andtreatments will be given to her based on different situations. So, don't worry about that." Johann lookedat it from an objective point of view and explained to her what the situation was now.
"Then, can I see Leia now?" Queenie was upset. She thought everything would be fine after thesurgery.
She did not expect there were so many follow-ups that they had to pay attention to after the surgery.She was truly worried that Leia would not be able to survive this.
"Sure, but you have only five minutes. Only one person is allowed to enter the ward. The ICU ward ison your left. Tell the nurse at the entrance and she'll guide you," Johann pointed in the left direction.
"Okay. Thank you, Dr. Park," Queenie immediately thanked him.
"Thank you." Jack, who was standing beside her, expressed his gratitude to Johann too.
"It's my job." Johann returned to the operating room after that. He had not taken off the surgical gownon him. There were some post-surgery documents that he needed to sign and deal with.
"Dear, let's go and see Leia," said Queenie.
"Okay." Jack helped Queenie up and they walked toward the ICU ward.
"Then, we." Luca turned to look at Luke. She was not planning to visit Leia. She only showed up heretoday just because she was worried about Queenie.
"Let's go," said Luke.
"Okay," Luke walked next to Luke. The two of them followed behind Jack and Queenie.
Queenie put on the isolation gown to take a look at Leia's situation.
Jack stood at the entrance waiting for her. He would be the next one who was going in. He turnedaround and shot a glance at Luke and Luca. He asked, "Are you going in?"
"No," Luke was answering on behalf of Luca when he was answering his question.
Jack nodded without saying another word.
Although he knew Luca's true identity was Bianca, he did not expect there to be any sisterhoodbetween Luca and Leia.
After all, there were hardly any younger sisters who would harm and set their elder sisters up.
Queenie was reluctant to come out of the ICU ward when she saw how weak Leia was. The nurseeventually asked her to leave. Only then did she weep and walk out of the ward. "Leia looks so pale.She's still so young. Why does she have to go through this..."
Luca and Luke exchanged glances with each other.
Was Leia going through a lot?
Luca thought it was nothing.
Leia was initially healthy. She was the one who shot herself in the foot. Her body was just exhaustedfrom carrying the burden and she ended up in such a condition today.
Hence, she did it to herself. No one made her do this, and it was not God who let her suffer this. Shebrought everything upon herself.
The so-called suffering was the pain that one did not deserve to bear.
Therefore, Leia's case was not one of them.
Jack looked at Queenie, tears streaming down her pale-white face. It was as though she would passout at any time. The look on his face was awful. He had no choice but to ask Luke and Luca, "Pleasehelp me look after her."
"Don't worry, Mr. Norman," replied Luca as she helped Queenie to take off the isolation gown on her.
Jack nodded and walked into the ward with the isolation gown on him.
He stood at Leia's bedside and glanced at her. The look on his face was indifferent. There was no sadexpression on his face. His expression was as stern as a judge's expression in the court. It was not anexpression a father should have for his daughter.
