Madam Mallory certainly would not let Queenie know that she had been waiting for her, so she made up an excuse. "My son is hospitalized because he's not feeling well, so I'm here."

Queenie frowned, her mood heavy. Leia's illness made her empathize with Madam Mallory. She looked at her worriedly and asked, "Is your son alright?"

"The situation is not optimistic." Madam Mallory secretly rejoiced when she saw that Queenie responded rather positively. She turned around and waited for the elevator with her. "The doctor can't find out the root cause, so he can only rely on painkillers and valium to stabilize his condition."

"It's that serious..." Queenie's brows furrowed deeper. She thought of Leia,

She had been taking medicine and would go home to recuperate when she got better. However, if her condition took a turn for the worse, she would have to be hospitalized again.

The medicine that Luca prescribed was effective, but Leia's willfulness made her condition worse. The medicine had now become less effective.

Seeing Queenie's sad face, Madam Mallory made a plan in her heart. She sighed and said, "Pierre was hospitalized because someone plotted against him. The cause has not yet been found, so he can only cry out in pain. As a mother, I wish I can take the pain for him but... Sigh..."

Queenie replied with concern, "Someone plotted against him? Who's so courageous?"

Although she did not have much contact with the business circle, she knew exactly the status that the Mallory family held in A City.

"I don't know if you know her. That woman is doing whatever she wants with the Crawford family's backing!" Madam Mallory watched the elevator arrive, politely let Queenie step in first, and said all that through gritted teeth.

'The Crawford family?'

Queenie paused, walked into the elevator, and saw that Madam Mallory also walked in. She asked, "Did the Crawford family hurt your son? Aren't the Crawford and Mallory families on good terms?"

She did not believe that anyone in the Crawford family would break the peace.
