Chapter 1168 Concoction

"Okay." Queenie smiled softly, rolled up her sleeves, and reached out her hand to Luca.

Luca's fingers trembled slightly as they rested on Queenie's veins.

Even on a hot day, Queenie's skin was extremely cold. It was clear that her health was weak.

Luca held her breath, checked Queenie's pulse, and had a rough idea of what was going on.

She motioned Queenie, wanting to take the pulse reading on her other hand.

After Queenie saw that, she reached out her other hand. Seeing how Luca seemed like she knew what she was doing, Queenie was a little excited.

Over the years, Jack and Luke had searched for doctors to treat her but in the end, they only had Johann to count on to take care of her health.

However, Johann had no permanent solution to cure her. All he could do was help Queenie manage the discomfort.

Johann said that her problems could only be managed, not cured.

Since then, no matter which doctor tried to treat her or prescribed her any medicine, she no longer held any hope.

Luca felt something abnormal in Queenie's pulse. She frowned and wanted to dig deeper into the issue.

At that time, the waiter brought three slices of apple pie and placed them in front of them.

Luca retracted her hand and had a rough estimation of what was going on. Her eyebrows were knitted together. She thought that what she had in mind was unlikely.

"Ms. Ivy, what's wrong?" Queenie asked nervously.

Luca shook her head and said, "It's nothing."

"You can just tell me the truth. I know my body. I've been sick for so many years and I don't have much hope anymore," Queenie said as she picked up the fork and fiddled with the apple pie.

Jack had ordered her a freshly baked apple pie. She was waiting for it to cool so as to not burn her mouth.
