Chapter 2501
The maid noticed that Leia was feeling weak. She came forward to help her up and said, “Ms. Norman, don't be mad. I don't intend to have the steak..."
Leia pushed the maid's hand away and snatched the packaging that contained the steak in her hands.
"Ms. Leia!" The maid let out a cry as Leia stepped on her foot when she was snatching the food from her.
Leia sneered at her and threw the steak into the trash bin. "You refuse to let me have it, huh?! Don't even think of having it for yourself. Is that something people like you can afford?"
The maid's face turned pale as her foot hurt.
The maid felt grievously wronged for what Leia said to her. The steak was initially for her guest. The guest had left, but she was not planning on having it. However, Leia was not allowed to have it either, and that was why she stopped her.
Still, not only was Leia humiliating her, but she even intentionally stepped on her foot. The maid felt hard done by her.
Leia let out a sneer when she saw the maid's reddened eyes and said, "Go back to the kitchen. Don't stay here and be an eyesore."
The maid frowned and turned around. She recalled what Queenie told her on the phone just now. She had no choice but to turn around again, "Ms. Norman."
"Did I not make myself clear?" Leia scowled as hatred filled her eyes.
Although the maid came here to serve her, it was obvious that she came here to keep an eye on her too!
The maid summarized everything and said, "Ms. Norman, Mrs. Norman called and said that the Light Festival will be held in two days. She wondered if you were going back home for dinner."
"No. I don't have time." Leia rejected it without a second thought.
Even though it was Jack's arrangement for Leia to stay here and Queenie had nothing to do with it, Leia held a grudge in her heart.
Leia hated Queenie for being worthless. She would not have had to accept Dexter's liver if Queenie was willing to pay for a liver. She would not have to stay in this small and narrow apartment without being allowed to go home.
Leia could have lived her life as Ms. Norman without having to worry about money. It was all because of Queenie.
If Queenie could be more firm, Leia would still be living in Norman Residence while enjoying the flattery of others.
"Okay." The maid did not persuade her. After she got the answer, she hurried to the kitchen as though she was running away from a monster.
Leia sneered and scolded, “Coward.”
The maid did not stop as though she did not hear what she said.
When she returned to the kitchen, the maid told Queenie about Leia's response.
Leia refused to talk to Queenie now. Hence, the maid conveyed the message.
Queenie could not help but let out a sigh when she heard what the maid said. “I got it. By the way, is Leia able to sleep well these days?"
Queenie heard that Leia was unable to sleep well at the apartment after she got discharged from the hospital.
She thought of asking Leia to stay in Norman Residence for a while, leaving the other matters to be discussed later after she recovered. However, Jack did not allow that.
Hence, Leia was sent to the apartment right after she got discharged.
Therefore, Leia had been feeling dissatisfied with their arrangement since then.
"It's still the same. I informed the doctor about her situation when she went for a check-up two days ago, but the doctor doesn't plan to give Ms. Norman any sleeping pills. It's to prevent the side effects of the medicine," answered the maid. She could feel the throbbing pain in her foot, so she moved a chair and sat down on it.
"Sigh, what the doctor said makes sense too..." Queenie felt sorry for Leia. She felt helpless as well.
If it were not for Jack, who wanted to send Leia back to New York like he did back then, being determined in forbidding Leia to move back here, Queenie could have convinced him.
However, Queenie could sense Jack's persistence. She could not say much. Otherwise, Leia would be sent to New York before her health had fully recovered.
"Mrs. Norman, don't worry. Ms. Norman's health is getting better day by day. She'll regain her health as long as she continues to take the medicines," comforted the maid. The way Leia yelled at her a moment ago did not seem like someone ill.
The maid would have thought that Leia was just pretending to be sick if she had not gotten the transplant surgery.
"Okay. Please inform me in the first instance if anything happens." Queenie hung up the call after that.
The maid put her phone back in her pocket and heaved a sigh.
Were they not mother and daughter? Why was there such a big difference in their temperament?
However, the maid had seen it on the news. Leia was adopted at the orphanage. She was an adopted daughter, and they did not share the same bloodline. That was why it was normal that there was such a big difference in the two's personalities and behaviors.
Leia was given such a good education by the Norman family, yet she was rotten to the core.
The maid felt helpless. She secretly let out a sigh. Some people were born evil. What changes did it make even if she grew up in such a good environment?
Did it do her any good even though she was well-educated?
She was still as evil as her father!
A trace of resentment flashed across the maid's eyes at the thought of it.
Something had happened between the maid and Leia's biological father, Dexter, back then. That was why the maid knew Leia was Dexter's biological daughter after she saw their news on the internet.
Then, she saw that Jack was recruiting a maid at the home services company.
After those people found out that he was hiring someone to look after Leia, they retreated right away. The maid working for the Norman family was from the same company. Hence, everyone there knew how hard it was to serve Leia and how bad-tempered she was.
As a result, she was the one who volunteered to apply for the job.
Even though she did not have much experience in taking care of someone, Jack hired her. The reason was simple, Jack had no other choice.
The maid massaged her foot and mumbled in a low voice, "I'll endure everything now. Then, I'll pay you back double."
"What are you mumbling about?" Leia stood at the kitchen door. The maid's voice was so soft that she could not hear what she said.
However, it sounded like she was angry and resentful.
Leia narrowed her eyes and asked, "Were you cursing me just now?"
The maid was anxious at first. After she heard what Leia said, she realized Leia did not hear what she said.
Hence, she immediately replied, "No, Ms. Norman. Is there anything I can help with?"
"Were you touching your foot just now?" Leia frowned with a disgusted look on her face.
"Uh... My foot was hurting." The maid rose to her feet and explained embarrassedly.
"How disgusting." Leia cringed. "I wonder how someone as unhygienic as you could become a maid."
The maid pursed her lips and said nothing.
Leia walked into the kitchen, poured a glass of water, and left.
The maid watched her from behind. If it were not for her and Dexter, she could have lived a better life!
How she wished Leia could experience what she had gone through in the past one day.
The maid clenched her fists. She would make sure that she put the saddle on the right horse. Even if the father and daughter were not on good terms, she wanted the two of them to pay the price!
After all, she had to try to let Leia have a taste of the pain she went through. It was engraved on her bones. Even though she lived a peaceful life now, she could never be able to forget it!
