"That's the reason why I called you today. We plan to make a move soon. We're waiting for you to see if there's any chance."
Mandy asked.
"I can do it anytime, but I need to prepare before it..." Leia recalled what the doctor said today. Was it not a good chance?
"He's running out of patience," Mandy reminded.
"I haven't finished talking yet. There's a good chance now," Leia said in a lazy tone. What the doctor said in front of Queenie had
given her a good opportunity.
Mandy's spirits were lifted at once, and she replied, "Really? When?"
"Let me confirm again first. Ask your sugar daddy to be patient. It'll be in the next few days. He'll be able to sleep with that
woman he has longed for soon." Leia smirked. Thinking of Luca being taken away by Matysh and what would happen to her after
that boosted her mood.
The pleasure came from the hatred she felt for Luca.
"He isn't the only one who's in a hurry. I want to end this too. Life has been boring these days," Mandy could not help but
complain. Matysh was not in the hotel room now, so she could b*tch about him as much as she wanted to.
"Why? Is he not good enough? He can't satisfy you?" Leia deliberately ridiculed Mandy as she knew she had a high sexual
desire.
"Not really. I just want to find someone who's more stable. I know things won't be stable with him, and it isn't going to be a long-
term relationship. So, I'm thinking about ending it as soon as possible. This shouldn't delay me from looking for another guy. You
need money, and I need it too," Mandy replied. She had the same thought as Leia about her sugar daddy.
The two of them depended on men to survive when they were broke in New York back then.
Leia could not help but let out a laugh. "You're right. Still, you've been mooching off him these days.
You should be thankful."
"He's generous, but that doesn't mean I've gotten something out of it. I deserved all those things. Let's not talk about this. You'd
better confirm it fast. We can slice the pie when the time comes." Mandy had been dreaming of this moment as Matysh had
promised to give them a huge amount of money.
Mandy would be able to live an extravagant lifestyle for a while with that money.
"Okay."
There was a knock on the door once Leia said that. She added, "Talk to you later."
After that, Leia hung up the call without waiting for Mandy to reply.
"Yes?" Leia asked while looking in the direction of the door.
“Leia, it's me. Can you open the door?" Queenie's gentle voice came from outside the room.
Frustration aroused in Leia's heart. Everyone was criticizing and talking about her on the internet now. They stated that Leia had
grown up in such a wealthy family but was ill-mannered and bad-tempered. Also, they mentioned how nice Jack and Queenie
were, yet Leia had learned nothing from them, not in the slightest.
They were belittling her, but they were complimenting Jack and Queenie at the same time.
Leia refused to believe that no one was behind this.
Leia did not want to open the door, but she remembered the mission she was assigned. She stood up and walked to the door,
then pulled the door open. She asked, “What's the matter?"
“The maid told me that you haven't taken your medicine this morning. It's time to take your medicine." Queenie held the tray that
contained a glass of water, medicine, and a piece of honey taffy on it.
Leia had to take medicine frequently, so she had to find ways to endure the bitterness. The honey taffies were given by her
grandparents.
Leia looked at the pills, and she could feel the sick feeling in the pit of her stomach. She had taken a lot of medicine these days
to the extent that she felt sick whenever she saw the pills.
“Come in." Leia behaved submissively when she thought of what she had to do.
Queenie carried the medicine and entered her bedroom.
The apartment was a bachelor's apartment. Every unit of the apartment was about the same size. It was small, even though an
apartment unit of about 200 to 400 square feet would suffice for ordinary people.
However, there was a huge difference in the size of the bedroom here and Leia's bedroom in Norman Residence.
Queenie could understand why Leia wanted to return there.
The interior design of the bedroom in the villa was done based on Leia's requests. Leia had always been pampered since she
was young. Now, she was staying in such a small room with an interior design she did not like. Of course, she wanted to go
home.
It was just that Jack was still angry. He complained that Leia had caused a lot of trouble for him at work just two days ago.
Therefore, when Leia mentioned that she wanted to move out of the apartment, Queenie had no choice but to reject her instead
of telling her that she would discuss it with Jack.
Jack would not agree to it no matter what she said.
Queenie placed the tray on the coffee table and stared at Leia.
Leia's sallow complexion made her look terrible. It was as if she had not recovered.
Queenie recalled how Leia used to be before she quit the entertainment industry. Leia was confident, beautiful, and glamorous.
She was a shining star no matter where she went.
It was as though Leia could shine for the rest of her life at that time.
However, now...
Queenie could not figure out why Leia had become like this.
The fact that Leia ended up like this today could be attributed to the actions of others. However, if Leia had not done those
things, Jack would have certainly stood up for her and protected her. Things would not have turned out like this.
“Leia, take your medicine," Queenie convinced her in a soft voice.
Leia knew Queenie had something to tell her. Hence, she quietly swallowed the pills. She took a sip of water and swallowed
another pill. She repeated this five to six times before she finally took all the pills.
Queenie picked up the honey taffy and handed it to her.
Leia took the honey taffy from her and put it into her mouth.
Queenie let out a sigh. It seemed like every pill was bitter when she watched Leia take her medicine. Leia was frowning when
she took the pills, and it looked like she was suffering.
"Leia, the doctor suggested you try naturopathy today. I think it's a good idea too. After all, it's not harmful to the body. Why don't
we try it?" Queenie persuaded her, thinking of asking Leia to receive naturopathy treatment. After that, she would make her
accept Luca's treatment.
"That medicine tastes even more bitter compared to modern medicine..." Leia mumbled. She only had to belittle the doctor at the
hospital, then Queenie would contact Luca to make her receive the treatment.
"What if I found you a professional naturopathist? Leia, you're still young. You can't let your body deteriorate like this," replied
Queenie. She was worried, and she rested her hand on the back of Leia's palm. "Listen to me. Be good and receive the
treatment, okay?"
"Could it be that the naturopathist you're mentioning is Luca?" Leia deliberately raised her pitch. No matter who Queenie had in
mind, she had to lead the conversation around to Luca.
"Yes. Luca is good at naturopathy. Leia, we have to give it a try. If taking a course of naturopathy treatment doesn't work for you,
we'll continue to use modern medicine for treatment," said Queenie. She was worried that Leia would disagree with it, so she
promised Leia.
"But I've fought with her!" Leia frowned, withdrew her hand, and pretended that she was reluctant to do so.
That was the only way for Leia to not arouse anyone's suspicion and blame when something happened to Luca.
"She's not the kind of person who won't forgive others. She'll help nurse your health once you say yes. Perhaps your health will
improve after taking the medicine," Queenie convinced her while worrying that she would turn her down.
