Chapter 2594
Mandy pulled her mask up and said in a low voice, "I'm injured."
“You're injured?" Leia stared at Mandy's face. She reckoned that Mandy's wound had been concealedunder the mask.
Mandy noticed that the other two patients in the ward were looking at her too. Hence, she asked, "Whyaren't you staying in a single-room ward?"
"Do you think I wanted to stay here? There's no single-room ward in the Department of Hepatobiliary.The wards upstairs are full too." Leia rolled her eyes.
Mandy rose to her feet and said, “Why don't we go out for a walk?"
“Sure." Leia knew Mandy did not want the other patients in the ward to stare at her. Thus, they walkedout of the ward together.
The two patients in the ward exchanged glances with each other. The patient who fought with Leiasaid, "I just recalled who she is. I kept wondering why she looked so familiar to me^"
“Who is she? I think I've seen her somewhere before too," asked another patient.
“Oh, she's Leia Norman. A celebrity has-been who got involved in scandalous affairs. I went onlinesearching for her just now. Tsk, tsk. You can't imagine how shocking it was. How dare she show herface in front of others? If I were involved in so many scandalous affairs, I would hit my head against thewall and end my life," she said maliciously. She had been bottling up her anger after arguing with Leiajust now.
“So she's Leia Norman. No wonder she looks familiar. You're right. She has done so many bad things.How could she scold someone else without feeling embarrassed? Even if she's wealthy, she's just achild adopted by the Norman family. Who does she think she is to judge the poor? She's nothing but an
outsider once the Norman family's biological child comes back. I heard that her biological father is ahomeless scumbag. She was born to be poor. Even if she was adopted into a wealthy family, she's stilla poor person deep down. How dare she mock others? Rumor has it that she has a bad attitude. Ifinally got to see what she truly is like today." Another patient went along with her.
“I know, right?"
Leia, who stood at the door, wore a sullen look on her face. She realized she forgot to bring her phonewhen she walked out of the ward. She initially thought of heading back to take it, but she accidentallyheard those people talking about her.
Mandy heard them too. She patted Leia's shoulders and pointed at the corner of the hallway with herfingers.
Leia could not be bothered to argue with the two patients in the ward. She immediately headed in thedirection where Mandy pointed.
They headed to the corner of the hallway where there was no one around. Only then did Mandy pullher mask down.
Leia noticed the redness and how swollen Mandy's face was. She asked in surprise, "What's wrong?Did he beat you?"
"I risked my life to get that money." Mandy stroked her face. She did not feel any pain in her face whenshe was slapped. All she felt was numbness. It was only after an hour did she start to feel the pain.
The plastic surgeon told her that judging from how swollen her face was, it might take up to a week forit to recover and the pain would ease after the swelling was gone.
Although Mandy did not answer her question directly, Leia was sure that it was Matysh who did this toher.
"He's so cruel." Leia saw how swollen Mandy's face was, and she thought Mandy got beaten up askingfor money from Matysh.
"Fortunately, I got the money. That slap didn't end up in vain." Mandy put on her mask and asked, "Howare your parents now?"
Leia was the one who told Mandy that the mission had failed.
Matysh still could not contact those men who were arrested by the police when Mandy left the hotel.Their superior seemed to be handling this matter too.
However, Mandy also heard that A City was currently the center of the country's anti-organized crime. Itseemed like things were going to be more difficult to handle.
"I don't know what their situation is now." Leia clenched her teeth resentfully and cursed, "I hope there'sbleeding in their brains and they'll die."
Mandy shook her head. Mr. and Mrs. Norman were her adoptive parents, after all. How could she be soheartless...
"What's Matysh planning to do now?" Leia asked.
Mandy shrugged her shoulders and replied, "I have no idea. He vented his anger on me after knowingthat we failed the mission. But I didn't let him get away with venting his emotions on me. I left as soonas I got the money. We have nothing to do with anything that happens next. You're considered a richwoman now. With the money, you can make a living by starting a business in A City. It won't mattereven when the Norman family doesn't care about you anymore in the future."
"I want more than that." Leia narrowed her eyes.
Even though Jack had always been law-abiding, clean, and honest since he served in the military, theNorman family's wealth only started to accumulate when Old Master Norman began doing businessback then.
Although Jack had no intention of taking over Old Master Norman's businesses, Old Master Normanhad given him full rights to the company. The company was still earning a considerable amount ofprofits now.
Would that money not become hers when Jack was no longer alive?
Hence, what Leia truly wanted was the assets of the Norman family.
Mandy knew what Leia had in mind. She patted her shoulder and said, "That's all I can do for you.
Things have gotten much bigger, and the biggest reason for it is probably because your parents wereinjured. That's why you have to be extra careful. You can't let them suspect you." “Don't worry. I candistance myself from this matter. I've finished my job, after all.” Leia smirked. She did it so well and leftno clues behind.
No matter how capable Luke's men were and no matter how many police officers came, they would notbe able to find out that she had something to do with this case.
"Although you did the job well, you still have to be careful. Besides, don't forget me when you'vebecome a super rich woman." Mandy stroked her face, trying to remind Leia that she sacrificed herbeauty in exchange for the money.
"I got it. Have you seen the doctor yet? Let me ask Johann to take a look at it," said Leia. Even thoughJohann did not study plastic surgery, she heard that Johann was skilled at it.
Mandy's eyes lit up when she recalled Johann's handsome face. She asked, "Really? But he's notworking in the plastic surgery department, right?"
"Even though he's not, he's an expert. Even plastic surgeons aren't as highly skilled as he is. If he'd liketo change his job, all the cosmetic hospitals would welcome him to join them with open arms,"answered Leia.
"That's so impressive..." Mandy could not help but exclaim with admiration.
However, the injury on her face affected her appearance badly. She eventually shook her head andsaid, "It's alright. I'll be leaving a bad impression on him if I see him in such a state now. Do createchances for me to meet him in the future if it's possible."
"Sure. No problem. You helped me a lot this time." Leia was talking about hurting Jack and Queenie, aswell as the money Mandy got for her.
"We should help each other. And we should make those who look down on us apologize to us!" saidMandy.
On the other hand...
The caretaker Luke sent to look after Leia followed her instructions and bought bottles of the mostexpensive imported water.
She realized Leia was gone when she returned to the ward. Then, she walked to the washroom andglanced around. Leia was nowhere to be seen. Hence, she asked the other patients who were on theirbeds with curiosity, "Excuse me, do any of you know where Ms. Norman went?"novelbin
The two patients stared at their phones while lying on the bed. It was as though they did not hear hertalking to them.
"I'm sorry, but I didn't do anything wrong to offend the two of you. Do you know where she is?" Thecaretaker knew they hated Leia, and that was why they were deliberately ignoring what she said.
