Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2500

Mandy walked into the apartment with a puzzled look. She saw Leia sitting on the sofa and strolled toward her, asking, "Why is your housemaid being extra careful?"

“Blame those reporters who are fanning the flames!” Leia gritted her teeth angrily when she mentioned those reporters who would not stop pestering her.

“Reporters? You’ve retired for quite some time, right? Why are the reporters still hounding you?” Mandy seldom read the news on the internet. That was why she did not know the news about Leia kicking Dexter.

She wondered why there were reporters still trying to hound Leia when she did not have any great shows or impressive acting skills. Could it be that it was simply because she was Jack Norman’s daughter?

“Don’t mention it. What an unlucky day.” Leia did not expect that kicking Dexter out of anxiety would affect her so much.

Someone told her that some teachers even used her incident with Dexter as an example in educating their students, explaining that it was wrong to do so.

Even the teachers were talking about it, not to mention the parents.

Hence, not only was she a bad person in everyone's mind, but she was also a bad person to those innocent kids.

The last time she went to the hospital for a follow-up examination, she was recognized by a little child. He pointed at her and said she was a bad woman who showed no respect to her parents.

The child cried out so loudly. It got Leia in the spotlight, and she was instantly surrounded by onlookers.

At last, it was the hospital’s security guard who took her away to prevent her from getting scolded by the public.

Mandy saw the gloomy look on Leia’s face and knew that it must be something bad.

Previously, when Leia was still a celebrity, she loved interacting with reporters. She would constantly build her public persona in front of the reporters just to be in the headlines.

Leia looked like she wanted to cut those reporters into pieces now.

"Fine. Let's not talk about it, then. How are you feeling now?" Mandy quickly changed the subject of the conversation.

Although she had partnered up with Leia, she did not want to get jinxed by Leia.

"It's the same. I thought my health would improve after the transplant. Who would have known that I'd have to eat more pills than before? My mouth is full of a bitter taste from taking so much medicine every day," Leia said with disgust. She glanced at the time. It was time for her to take her medicine now.

The maid carried a glass of water and a dozen pills. She walked toward her, "Ms. Norman, it's time to take your medicine."

“Can I not take them?” Leia frowned. She felt nauseous when she saw so many pills.

The maid replied awkwardly, “These are the pills the doctor prescribed for you. They’re good for your health. It’d be better for you to take them…”

When Leia went to the hospital for a follow-up two days ago, the doctor found out that she had inflammation in her body. He gave her tons of medicines and told her that she had to take these for a course of treatment. Then, she had to come back for a check-up again.

"That's a lot…" Mandy was surprised to see that. She knew one had to take a lot of medicine after going through an organ transplant, but she had never seen anyone take so many medicine pills.

“Yes. I think the doctor did it on purpose,” Leia complained, but she took the pills and swallowed them one by one.

Leia had been on the verge of death, so she appreciated her life now.

What concerned her the most was that the transplant would fail and she would have to look for another liver.

After everything that happened, she knew that it was not only Jack who was not siding her with now but also Queenie. Even though they were wealthy, they would not spend the money on her to look for a liver donor. That was why she could not fall ill anymore.

“You can’t say that. There must be a reason why the doctor gave you so many medicines,” replied Mandy. She recalled how Leia had lived her life in New York, then saw how miserable she was now. She could see that it was Leia who abused her health and ended up like this today with just a glance.
