Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2596

Mandy pulled her mask up and said in a low voice, “I’m injured.”

“You’re injured?” Leia stared at Mandy’s face. She reckoned that Mandy’s wound had been concealed under the mask.

Mandy noticed that the other two patients in the ward were looking at her too. Hence, she asked, "Why aren't you staying in a single-room ward?"

"Do you think I wanted to stay here? There's no single-room ward in the Department of Hepatobiliary. The wards upstairs are full too.” Leia rolled her eyes.

Mandy rose to her feet and said, “Why don’t we go out for a walk?”

“Sure.” Leia knew Mandy did not want the other patients in the ward to stare at her. Thus, they walked out of the ward together.

The two patients in the ward exchanged glances with each other. The patient who fought with Leia said, "I just recalled who she is. I kept wondering why she looked so familiar to me…"

“Who is she? I think I’ve seen her somewhere before too,” asked another patient.

“Oh, she’s Leia Norman. A celebrity has-been who got involved in scandalous affairs. I went online searching for her just now. Tsk, tsk. You can’t imagine how shocking it was. How dare she show her face in front of others? If I were involved in so many scandalous affairs, I would hit my head against the wall and end my life,” she said maliciously. She had been bottling up her anger after arguing with Leia just now.

“So she’s Leia Norman. No wonder she looks familiar. You’re right. She has done so many bad things. How could she scold someone else without feeling embarrassed? Even if she’s wealthy, she’s just a child adopted by the Norman family. Who does she think she is to judge the poor? She’s nothing but an outsider once the Norman family’s biological child comes back. I heard that her biological father is a homeless scumbag. She was born to be poor. Even if she was adopted into a wealthy family, she’s still a poor person deep down. How dare she mock others? Rumor has it that she has a bad attitude. I finally got to see what she truly is like today.” Another patient went along with her.

“I know, right?”

Leia, who stood at the door, wore a sullen look on her face. She realized she forgot to bring her phone when she walked out of the ward. She initially thought of heading back to take it, but she accidentally heard those people talking about her.

Mandy heard them too. She patted Leia’s shoulders and pointed at the corner of the hallway with her fingers.

Leia could not be bothered to argue with the two patients in the ward. She immediately headed in the direction where Mandy pointed.

They headed to the corner of the hallway where there was no one around. Only then did Mandy pull her mask down.

Leia noticed the redness and how swollen Mandy’s face was. She asked in surprise, “What’s wrong? Did he beat you?”

"I risked my life to get that money." Mandy stroked her face. She did not feel any pain in her face when she was slapped. All she felt was numbness. It was only after an hour did she start to feel the pain.

The plastic surgeon told her that judging from how swollen her face was, it might take up to a week for it to recover and the pain would ease after the swelling was gone.

Although Mandy did not answer her question directly, Leia was sure that it was Matysh who did this to her.

"He's so cruel." Leia saw how swollen Mandy's face was, and she thought Mandy got beaten up asking for money from Matysh.

“Fortunately, I got the money. That slap didn’t end up in vain.” Mandy put on her mask and asked, “How are your parents now?”

Leia was the one who told Mandy that the mission had failed.

Matysh still could not contact those men who were arrested by the police when Mandy left the hotel. Their superior seemed to be handling this matter too.

However, Mandy also heard that A City was currently the center of the country's anti-organized crime. It seemed like things were going to be more difficult to handle.
