Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2791

The caretaker was not randomly knocking. She was tapping their secret communication code.

She was telling Rain that Leia was trying to escape.

Leia ignored her and opened the wardrobe. She took out her clothes and went to the bathroom to get changed. She was stopped by the caretaker when she came out of the bathroom.

"Ms. Norman, why did you change into your own clothes? You even took off the hospital gown,” said Hadley.

The caretaker gestured toward the hospital patient gown that she was holding.

In this moment of surprise and astonishment, the caretaker’s reaction was really swift.

"It’s none of your business!" Leia snapped at her impatiently.

The caretaker was accustomed to her bad temper. "I’m your caretaker. I must keep an eye on everything that concerns you. Your grandmother will blame me if anything happens!"

"I'm leaving the hospital. You can get lost. Ask my grandmother to pay you." Leia scowled. She did not even want to pay the caretaker her salary.

Before the caretaker could respond, the woman in the next bed burst into laughter.

"This is hilarious. Has she lost her mind? Claiming that she wants to get discharged in the middle of the night, does she think she’s at home? Do you expect the doctors to process your discharge at this hour?"

The woman was looking at the TV when she said that.

However, the TV show was not playing a hospital-related drama at all.

Leia's face turned ugly. She knew the woman was mocking her!

Just as Leia was about to explode, the woman added, "That’s strange. Changing into her own clothes in the middle of the night and claiming that she wants to get discharged from the hospital… Is she trying to avoid paying the medical expenses, by any chance?”

Leia could not hold back anymore. She wanted to argue with her.

However, the caretaker, who was behind her, asked, "Ms. Norman, please stay calm. Have you forgotten what happened a couple of days ago?"

Leia was startled for a moment.

She could not control her temper and nearly got into a fight with this elderly woman who just got admitted to the hospital a few days ago.

The woman was hot-tempered. She was not as timid as the previous woman. After Leia unleashed a torrent of scathing remarks, the woman did not hold back and scolded back.

Their voices transmitted through the wards with surprising clarity. Their sharp exchange echoed down the corridor, and everyone gathered to witness the spectacle.

The caretakers, nurses, head nurses, attending physicians, and even the chief physician came but could not stop the war.

Leia almost got into a fight with the woman.

However, the war finally ended when the chief physician instructed the head nurse to call the police to handle the matter.

Leia hesitated.

The woman was not afraid of the police and continued to insult her, but Leia remained silent because she was afraid of the police.

Leia had been staying in the hospital, refusing to get discharged. Moreover, Jack and Queenie were still in the ward upstairs. Another reason why Leia was reluctant to leave was that she was worried the police would come to take her statement.

As long as Leia remained in the hospital, she could use her poor health, dizziness, or accelerated heartbeat as an excuse to avoid giving her statement to the police.

She would not have such an opportunity once she got back home.

As Leia reflected on what happened that day, she decided that it was not worth it to get into an argument with this woman as it would only summon the police.

The mere thought of facing the police left Leia trembling with fear in these turbulent times. Hence, she chose to keep quiet and endure it. She took a deep breath and sat on the hospital bed. Then, she spoke in a stiff tone, "I’d like to get discharged tomorrow."

"Alright, Ms. Norman. Please change into your hospital gown first. The nurses will be making their rounds soon. They'll be annoyed if they notice that you’re not wearing hospital attire," urged the caretaker.
