Chapter 551
Chapter 551 Jack Is Agitated!
"Yes, Ms. Laviere. I know what I should do," Bella replied fawningly.
Bella was a smart woman, and Mavis had made it obvious. She would be an idiot if she did not understand what her superior was trying to imply!
So many people coveted the position of deputy general manager!
There were so many talented people in the design department. Even Tom and Sue were just as capable as she was.
If she were to rely on her capabilities alone, it would take her a few more years of hard work.
She would have to cup with a schtomorrow so that Bianca would be forced to leave T Corporation!
At the hospital.
Leia was dressed in a loose hospital gown and looked haggard. She stared blankly at the ceiling, and no one knew what she was thinking.
She had not applied beauty cream to her face for a few days, and she had not been sleeping well. Her skin was not as smooth and tender as before, and it was a stark contrast to her beautiful and pure image on television.
The nurses were examining her.
Queenie stood anxiously by the side. Jack was there too.
"Ms. Norman looks a lot better today. You don't have to worry, Mr. Norman and Mrs. Norman," the nurse spoke as she prepared an injection.
Leia suddenly cto her senses. She shoved the nurse away and started to shiver!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Dad, Mom, I'm scared..." Her face was full of tears. It was a pitiful sight.
Queenie could feel her heart break as she looked at her daughter's tearful face and listened to her sobbing voice.
She walked toward Leia's bed and hugged her tightly. "My daughter, you finally recognize your mother! My poor dear... can you tellwhat happened? Don't you know that you've given your dad anda big fright?"
Leia lowered her head and averted her gaze.
She wanted to tell her parents that Luke was the one who had abducted her, and Luke was the one who had thrown her into the snake pit. She wanted her parents to take revenge for her!
However, she shivered again when she thought of the man's cruel deeds and harsh threats.
Luke had said that if she dared to tell her parents about what happened, he would ruin her reputation and make her suffer a fate a hundred times cruder than what happened in the snake pit!
After what happened to her, Leia did not doubt what Luke would do.
She had experienced first-hand how cruel the man could be.
He was not human at all!
Even though Leia bore only hatred and resentment toward that man, she dared not tell the truth to her adoptive parents!
She squeezed a smile on her face. "Dad, Mom, I'm fine... I don't know why those bad guys abducted me, and I couldn't see their faces because I was blindfolded throughout. They lockedup for a while, but they didn't askfor ransom or even interact with me. After that, they letgo without saying anything. I wonder if they got the wrong person?"
Jack and Queenie looked at each other. They were smart enough not to buy into Leia's excuse.
"Are you hiding something from us, Leia?" Jack said aggressively, "Your agent told us a different story. She said that a group of men in black barged into the ward and knocked her out. When she woke up, you were nowhere to be seen... I've also dispatched many people to investigate your whereabouts, but no one could find any leads. I'd take revenge for you if I find out who the abductor is!" "I really don't know anything, Dad. I was so frightened when they tookaway, and I couldn't see their faces because they blindfolded me. I'm so tired now... Dad, do you know what I was thinking when they took me away? I was so afraid that I won't ever see you or Mom ever again. Mom's eyes are failing, and she'll definitely cry if I'm missing. I can't bear to see Mom cry..."
Tears brimmed in Leia's eyes again.
Queenie hugged her and started to cry as well.
Jack was moved. He was an introverted person unlike his wife, but he loved his adoptive daughter nonetheless.
Seeing that Leia was still very much affected by the ordeal, he decided to stop asking questions for now.
He believed that he would eventually find the truth.
How could the daughter of the Provincial Committee Secretary be abducted, and no leads could be found?
What a joke!
Leia eventually bectired from crying.
She had been living in fear for the past few days. Now that she felt a lot more relieved, she fell into a deep sleep very soon.
Seeing that Leia was asleep, Queenie massaged her daughter's temples so that she would sleep better.
"Queenie, you've been sitting by Leia's bedside for many days. You should lie down and take a rest." Jack felt sorry for his wife when he saw her eye bags.
Queenie shook her head. "I'm not tired. Now that Leia is recovering, I feel that I'm alive again. Who do you think has a grudge with Leia? Our daughter is beautiful, gentle, considerate, and generous. Everyone who interacts with her praises her character." 1
Jack tried to comfort her. "Perhaps it's my political enemy. I've made many enemies in my career, and I cant tell who it might be. Don't worry, I'll get to the bottom of this and seek justice for our daughter!" "Mm," Queenie replied and tucked her daughter into the blanket.
Suddenly, she stood up and looked at Jack with a gentle gaze. "I want to tell you a piece of good news, Jack. Our birth daughter is still alive." "Are... are you telling the truth, Queenie? Where did you get that news?" Jack was utterly shocked.
Queenie told her husband what Shakira told her about Allison. She also told him about her doubts.
It was the first tthat Jack lost his composure.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHis heart was thumping hard, even though he had been able to keep his cool in his career as a politician.
"If... if our daughter is still alive, we'll definitely find her!” Jack said agitatedly.
He paced around the ward, unable to contain his excitement.
The usually calm and stern man looked like a clueless child now. Queenie felt sorry for him.
She knew that her husband was kind toward her adoptive daughter, but he hoped to have a daughter of her own.
However, her health condition did not allow her to fulfill her husband's wish.
Queenie understood how excited her husband was, knowing that their birth daughter was still alive somewhere out there.
In fact, she felt the sas her husband.
"Our Leia will have an elder sister soon, and she won't feel as lonely. I believe that they’ll get along just fine," Queenie said expectantly.
She began to discuss with her husband how to look for their birth daughter, and they did not notice that Leia, who had been sleeping, had stealthily opened her eyes.
When she overheard what her adoptive parents were talking about, she suddenly felt extremely flustered!
Her adoptive parents knew that their birth daughter was still alive...
If... if they managed to find Bianca...
Would she still have a place in the Norman household?
She gripped the blanket in her hands tightly, and her expression was extremely sullen!
No, she cannot let them find Bianca!
