Luke instantly knew what kind of person Leia was without needing Luca to explain to him.
There was no way she would give up easily. She was still asking her so-called friends to help keep an eye on updates in the black market. Although she was broke, that would not stop her from deceiving her father and the Norman family.
“What do you think?” Luke asked for her opinion.
Luca was silent for some time and slowly said, “Actually, I think that since you already know that she’s back, why not just be frank with her so that she has more options to look for liver donors? Otherwise, she can only wait in the hospital or purchase it from the black market…”
She did not say this for the sake of Leia as she was not fond of her either. She just felt sorry for Queenie and Jack. She did not want the couple to be dragged down by Leia’s disease.
Moreover, if Leia dragged down the Norman family, it would affect Luke too.
Besides, he was still the Norman family’s son-in-law to the outside world.
“You’re saying we should let her openly look for liver donors?” Luke’s eyes smiled a little.
“Yes.” Luca nodded as Leia used to be a celebrity, so perhaps someone would be willing to help.
“But Leia pretty much ruined her reputation entirely. Even if someone is willing to help, it’d be for Jack’s sake,” said Luke. It was not completely off the table, but the one who would be deeply indebted would be Jack and not Leia.
Who would donate their liver to an over-the-hill celebrity with a bad image?
Luca bit her lower lip as it did not occur to her that Jack was a governor. There would be many social climbers lining up to help him.
It seemed like this was not a good solution either.
Luke noticed that she was in a dilemma, and he also knew that she was not doing it for Leia’s sake but Queenie's.
He said, “But there is one person who might be able to give Leia a chance to get an operation.”
“Who?” Luca asked hurriedly without trying to mask her anxiousness. Besides, they were her parents. She could not bear to watch them be in a dilemma because of Leia.
“Dexter,” Luke mentioned a name.
Luca frowned as the name sounded familiar to her, but she could not recall who it was. “That’s…”
“He’s Leia’s biological father. When he almost sold her off, she escaped and was adopted by the Norman family, which led her to have a comfortable life. After that, Dexter recognized that Leia was his daughter at first glance. He went to her for money, but she refused to give him any. Hence, he thought of ways to accuse Leia in front of the media for things she didn’t do, which is why her reputation hit rock bottom,” said Luke.
Luca recalled who this Dexter guy was.
He was one of the people who completely ruined Leia’s chances of working in the entertainment industry ever again.
However, when Dexter accused Leia in front of the reporters, was Luke not the one manipulating him?
It was all in the past, but Luca still remembered that after the ruckus Dexter caused, he disappeared into thin air and was never seen again.
He was nothing short of a vagrant. Although everyone had a bad impression of Leia, they could not care less about a tramp like him.
After all these years, was Dexter still alive?
Luca thought that the chances of finding Dexter were too low.
“Can this person still be found?” She had intended to ask whether he was still alive, but she had just returned from overseas, so she was not supposed to know about this. Therefore, she had no choice but to ask whether he could be found and not whether he was still alive.
“We can try,” said Luke. After causing a scene, Dexter got a sum of money. If he did not squander it all, he should have enough to get by for a few years.
He was just afraid that Dexter had not gotten rid of his habit of splurging and had starved himself to death on the streets.
If that was the case, then the universe was just not on Leia’s side.
