Female Novel
Chapter 2674
Leia rolled her eyes and reminded Mandy, “I don't even know what their condition is now. How can Iask for their help?"
Previously, she would accompany Jack to attend business dinners. Her peers, who used to be close toher, maintained a distance from her after she was sent abroad and everything she did was exposed.
Hence, Leia only had disreputable friends in A City now. She did not have any upper-class friends.
Those disreputable friends of hers would not head to the police station to find out for her whether or notit was the same person.
After all, they had nothing to do with this. The only way of getting in was to get arrested after breakingthe law.
However, the police station was not a place to stay. Who would be willing to go there? Unless theamount of money given to that person was enough for them.
"What should we do?" Mandy was frightened at the thought of Matysh getting arrested by the police.She was worried she might be the next one who would be arrested.novelbin
Even though Matysh was arrested because of what happened three years ago, who knew if he wouldtake revenge on her and reveal the truth of Normans' case? That would get her involved in this. It washard to tell if Matysh would do something like that.
"Why don't we hire a private detective?" suggested Leia. Deep down inside, she was nervous.
Matysh was not a reliable person, after all. If he dragged Mandy into this, then Leia would be involvedtoo.
By the time they got arrested, prison was what awaited them.
Even though it was not a serious offense, she would not have a penny to her name when she came outof prison.
The Norman family, including her grandmother, would refuse to believe her.
"Okay. Can you find one?" asked Mandy.
"I can't go out. Luke is already suspecting me. He might even send someone to keep an eye on me. Ithas to be you," said Leia seriously.
"Then..." Mandy hesitated.
"We'll share the costs of the private detective. It'd be best if we can make sure it's really Matysh. If it's,you have to fly abroad immediately," said Leia.
"What about you?" Mandy thought of her.
"I.." Leia hesitated.
What could she do? Her body was still weak. Luke was keeping an eye on her too. Given thecircumstances, it was unlikely for her to flee the country.
Mandy knew the difficult position she was in and immediately comforted her. “Actually you don't have toworry about it. Mr. Norman is your father. All you have to do is apologize to him when the time comes.He won't send the child he raised for more than 20 years to prison, right?"
"Yeah..." replied Leia. Still, she felt uneasy about it.
If she was still the celebrity she used to be or the same person who had never hurt Queenie, Jackmight help her and stop her from getting into prison.
However, it was hard to say now.
Jack was so harsh with her now that he was no longer fond of her.
Still, Leia did not say anything about it.
"Contact the private detective first. Let's talk about it after they find out about it," said Leia as sheleaned against the wall.
"Alright. Be careful when you're at the hospital. Plus, don't be too positive about this. Try to confess andapologize to your parents as soon as possible," reminded Mandy.
Mandy could flee the country. She could choose not to return to A City for a long time.
However, there was no way Leia could do that.
If Leia escaped, she would not have any medical insurance abroad to treat her weak body. The moneyshe received from Matysh would not be able to last that long either.
Leia was a mere shadow of her former self after falling ill. She could not be like Mandy, relying on mento earn money.
"Got it." Leia hung up the call and returned to the wardroom in low spirits.
"Ms. Norman, you're back. Take your meds," said Hadley with a smile on her face.
When Leia saw her smile, she shot Hadley a sharp look and asked, "What's so funny?"
Hadley pretended to be confused, not knowing what she had done to piss Leia off. She touched herface and said, "Ms. Norman, I heard that smiling is infectious. You catch it like the flu. That's why Ishould smile often. You'll feel much better that way. Your health will improve too."
"Dumb*ss." Leia rolled her eyes at Hadley. She picked up the pills and stuffed them into her mouth.Then, she gulped down some water to flush the bitterness of the medicine away.
The patient could no longer stand it, and she said enigmatically, "Can't others be in a good mood whenyou're the one who's in a foul mood? Some people are really bossy."
Leia shot her a dirty look and scowled. "What nonsense are you talking about? Do you want me to kickyour *ss?"
The patient pointed at the TV and replied, "I'm talking about the show. Who do you think I'm judging?"
The TV happened to be playing a soap opera. A rich young lady was punishing her maid. It wasbecause the maid was humming to herself when the young lady was in a bad mood, and it got on hernerves. Leia sneered.
Another patient who was behind the bed curtain said enigmatically, “Some people are real primadonnas. They like taking things personally. Such a joke."
Leia could no longer stand it. She wanted to lift the bed curtain and fight with her.
"Shut up!" Leia yelled at her.
Hadley was too close to Leia. Leia's saliva was all over her face. She took a step back and replied,"Yes, Miss."
Leia returned to her bed angrily.
Hadley sat on the chair and saw Leia in such a state. She picked up her phone and glanced at themessage Rain sent her. Rain complimented her for doing a great job.
Hadley kept her phone away. She did a great job.
Leia should be on pins and needles now.
The way she tried to find an excuse to vent her emotions on her but eventually failed made her lookhilarious...
After Luca returned to Watson, she was reading the reports. The results were still what she expected.The formula of the medicine she mixed was still a little different from the original.
Luca continued to mix the solutions.
Luca only stopped working at three o'clock in the afternoon. Then, she asked for a leave from MoStone.
She turned around and left the office after she filled in the form requesting a leave.
Mo Stone clipped the form together with the previous form. She realized that the recent three forms allbelonged to Luca.
Luca was asking for leave too frequently.
Mo Stone muttered to herself, but she pondered for a moment. Luca was unoccupied with work now.Besides, the drug which she worked on had been launched in the market and gained a huge amount ofprofits. Of course, she had the right to ask for leave.
Mo Stone closed the file and continued with her administration work.
Luca got into Warren's car and headed straight to the school.
The school was already full of cars when she arrived. Warren asked Luca to get out of the car first. Hewould look for a parking lot.
Luca got out of the car.
She glanced at the cars around her. Those were expensive cars. Even though she did not know muchabout the price and model of the cars, she was able to know how expensive the cars were with just aglance at the logos.
The car Warren drove turned out to be an ordinary car among these luxurious cars.
Luca walked toward Tommy's classroom based on the signage in the school.
The school had a big sports ground. It took Luca 15 minutes to reach the academic building. Then, shefound where Tommy's classroom was. Before she walked into the classroom, she heard parents talking
to each other.
It was noisy in the classroom due to the chatter of the parents.
