Madam Norman paused for a moment, then she said, “I’m not sure about their situation either. I’ve been calling them all morning. No one’s answering the phone. But Leia, you don’t have to worry about your parents. I’m sure they’re going to be fine. Everything will be fine.”
Madam Norman specially persuaded her, thinking that Leia must be worried.
Leia rolled her eyes. That was pretty helpful.
Then, Leia replied, “Grandma, if you happen to know how Dad and Mom are doing, please tell me right away. I’m worried about them.”
“Okay, I will. You’re a good child. I’m counting on you to take care of my son and my daughter-in-law,” said Old Madam Norman. She thought Leia was doing her duties as a daughter well.
Old Madam Norman had no idea what Leia did to Queenie back then. Jack did not want to piss the elders off, so he deliberately did not mention it.
Therefore, Old Master Norman and his wife still adored Leia a lot, especially when they were in such a situation. Old Madam Norman heard how worried Leia was, and she became furious when she remembered Bianca, who lost her memory and was currently abroad.
“Grandma, don’t say that…” Leia looked down as she secretly became more impatient.
What the hell happened to Jack and Queenie?
Deep down in her heart, Leia was hoping something had really happened to the two of them. That way, she did not have to pretend to be nice to anyone in the Norman family and no one would meddle in her affairs.
“Sometimes, a biological child isn’t that dutiful either. You’re so much better. Your parents made the right choice to adopt you at the orphanage.” Old Madam Norman recalled the scene when they adopted Leia at that time.
Leia smirked disdainfully. What was the use of saying these at this point?
Leia wanted to pretend to be a good daughter and butter Jack up, but he hated her so much.
She could not please him no matter what she did.
That was why Leia was not planning to continue with it.
“Grandma, I’m really worried about Dad and Mom. Remember to tell me when you have any news of them,” Leia sweet-talked her.
“Alright, alright. You’re such a good child.” Old Madam Norman grew even fonder of Leia.
The caretaker, who stood beside Leia, heard their conversation. She could not help but suppress the helplessness in her heart as she poured a glass of water for Leia.
Leia hung up the call and took the glass of water that was handed to her. She immediately threw it on the floor and cried out, “It’s so hot! Are you trying to boil me alive?”
“I’m sorry, Ms. Norman. The doctor told me that you can’t drink any cold water…”
"Must I drink hot water if I can't have cold water? Do you call yourself a caretaker?" Leia glared at her. The caretaker was the only person on whom Leia could vent her emotions now. That was why she vented her anger on her.
“I’m sorry. Let me get you another glass of water.” The caretaker picked up the disposable cup and poured some hot water into the cup before adding some cold water to it. Then, she handed it to Leia again.
Leia took a sip of water and frowned. "The water in the hospital tastes bad. It has an off-putting disinfectant smell. Those who don't know would think that the disinfectant had been added to the water dispenser.'
The patient lying on the bed beside her heard what Leia said and took a sip of the water. She said, “There’s no disinfectant smell in it.”
Leia rolled her eyes, turned to look at the patient on the bed beside her, and mocked her. "Water tastes the same for poor people like you. I'm not used to drinking this water. You, go to the supermarket downstairs and get me a few bottles of imported mountain spring water."
Leia hated the hospital the most.
However, she had to pretend that she was injured to hide in the hospital. Otherwise, there would be more and more troubles that she had to deal with.
The caretaker squatted down and picked up the shattered pieces of glass on the floor. After she took the tissue and dried the water splashed on the floor, she stood up and said, "Ms. Norman, you can't have any cold water."
“I’m not used to the water provided by the hospital. What should I drink if you won’t get the water I want for me? Do you want me to die from thirst?” Leia sat with arms akimbo. “My grandma must’ve paid you a lot of money. If you don’t want the job, give me the money and I’ll hire another caretaker.”
