Chapter 1673
When Queenie thought about how Luca might take Bianca's place and that her darling daughter might lose the man she loved, Queenie strongly suppressed the idea of visiting Luca even though she took pity on her after learning Luca was injured and hospitalized.
She did not visit her for all the reasons mentioned.
"I'm fine." Luca listened to her concern and remembered that when she was hospitalized, she had hoped that Queenie would cto visit her.
However, who was she to ask Queenie to visit her?
Everything was in her head.
A warm current rushed through her heart now that Queenie expressed her care for her.
She was caring for her...
"You're fine? Your face still looks a little swollen. Are you sure you're okay?" Queenie looked into Luca's eyes, which she had always found familiar.
Luca was doing her best to help Leia but she thought about Luca as the enemy before this and did not even go to visit her when she was hospitalized.
Queenie felt guilty.
She should not have done that. Luca did not want these things to happen either. Maybe she had nothing to do with Luke and the kidnappers just made a random decision to kidnap her.
"I'm fine. The swelling will be completely gone in two days," Luca said.
Queenie nodded. The ER doctor approached, so they stopped talking.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLuca listened to their conversation for a while before turning around to leave.
After the ER doctor explained everything, he looked at Luca's back and sighed. "Where did you find such a talent? She seems very skilled."
Queenie looked at Luca and said, "She's very capable and treatedas well. She just appeared out of thin air and saved my life. Without her, I might be lying in bed waiting to die. "
The ER doctor looked at Queenie. ‘Waiting to die?'
She looked healthy and did not seem like someone who was seriously ill before this.
Luca took the elevator to the underground parking lot. She found Luke's car from memory. As expected, he had not left and was leaning on the car door, smoking a cigarette.
Whenever he smoked, it was mostly because he was troubled. Luca wondered what was bothering him.
She walked over and said, "Mr. Crawford."
When Luke saw her, he put out the cigarette with his fingers and threw it into the trash can next to him.
When she saw that, Luca frowned slightly and reminded him. "You can hurt yourself easily by doing that."
"It's okay," Luke said. He looked at her and asked, "Are you done with what you chere to do?"
"Yes." Luca glanced at his finger. It seemed to be a momentary thing, and the lit cigarette did not hurt him. It seemed that everything was indeed okay.
The Luke she remembered did not snuff out cigarettes this way.
How savage...
"Let's go, then." Luke walked around the front of the car and went to open the passenger door for Luca.
She leaned over and noticed that Luke's hand was covering the roof as though he was afraid that her head might hit it.
He was not a gentleman to everyone. Luca realized more and more that he was treating her differently.
Could it be that Luke was really interested in her?
Luca's mood was mixed. She buckled her seat belt as if nothing had happened.
Luke closed the car door, went around the front of the car, and got into the driver's seat. He fastened his seat belt and asked, "How is Leia?"
"There's no major problem after we rescued her," Luca replied.
"Does she need an organ transplant?" Luke asked. When Johann mentioned Leia's condition to him, he had mentioned something. Otherwise, he would not know so much.
"Dr. Park didn't tell you?" Luca looked at him.
Luke was not bothered that he was exposed. His expression did not change one bit as he said, "He doesn't telleverything. He tellssthings when he thinks I need to know about them.” Luca responded and nodded before falling deep in thought.
She knew that Luke had his intelligence network in A City and the personnel involved in these intelligence networks were from all walks of life. Johann was one of them.
The only difference was that his relationship with Johann was more of a friendship compared to his relationship with the other intelligence personnel.
Luca added, "Her condition has gotten much worse but she has yet reached the point of needing an organ transplant. There's a shortage of organs, so doctors won't put her on the list just yet."
"Will she feel much better after getting an organ transplant?" Luke asked as he drove out of the hospital.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Yeah. Even if she'll have to take medicine for a long time, it'll be much better than the current situation. However, there are more who desperately need an organ transplant." Luca sighed.
Luke thought of the black market. It seemed necessary to have his men keep watch so that Leia would not have the opportunity to make a wrong move.
She was a selfish person and cared for no one but herself. She might obtain the organs she needed by disgraceful means without regard for Jack Norman's future.
As such, he had to keep a close eye.
Luca noticed Luke's frown and asked, "You seem to be thinking about something..."
"I was thinking about Leia." Luke did not hide it. After all, there was nothing to hide.
"When a person is ill and desperate, will she do something she knows is illegal just to feel better?”
Luca looked out the window and was silent for half a minute. "Are you talking about Leia?"
"Yeah. Now that she's so severely sick, she may reach out to the black market. It's okay if she doesn't get caught, but if the public finds out, it's her father who'll be in trouble," Luke said. Instead of going through the proper and legal channels, many of the rich would opt to buy organs from the black market when they fell ill. As long as one had the money, they would have access to any organs they wanted. Although it was expensive, it was much faster than being on the organ transplant list.
They would do the transplant in private clinics and no one would ever find out.
However, Leia was different. Everyone in A City knew her and considering that Jack was in a high position in the government, many eyes were on them.
Therefore, if Leia did something, it was very likely that others would find out about it and it was Jack who would be implicated.
Luke thought to herself that he would not allow Leia to make a wrong move. Such a thing could not happen.
"Yeah, the Norman family is being watched by countless people," Luca said. Jack was clean. Logically speaking, he should have no enemies.
However, the situation was slightly different. The more honest people were, the more they might offend others. Many people were waiting for him to fail.
If Jack fell, it was not as simple as him losing his job. He was likely to face prison time. At the same time, T Corporation and the Crawford family would also be affected.
Jack's future could not afford to be ruined by Leia.
"I'll talk to them when I'm free," Luke said. He was not worried about Jack, but rather, he was worried that Queenie would condone Leia illegally buying organs for a transplant because she did not want to see her daughter suffer.
