Queenie looked at Jack and nodded after Luca gave her promise. Then, she said, "I shouldn't be keeping you any longer. See you later."

"Sure," replied Luca.

Queenie hung up the call first.

Jack asked again, "Should we invite Luke too?"

"You're thinking about figuring out if there's anything suspicious between them, right?" Queenie knew what he had in mind, and Jack nodded.

"Actually, it was already very suspicious when they slept in the same bedroom last time. But we believed in Luke's integrity, so we stopped suspecting him." Queenie grabbed her husband's hand and added, "I know you believe in Luca. I'd like to believe that she's not that kind of person either. I'm just trying to get her to talk tonight, so there's no need to ask Luke to come over too."

"Alright." Jack did not say anything knowing that Queenie had her own plans. After all, he wanted to find out whether or not he was wrong about Luca too.

Queenie stood up when Jack agreed with it. She said, "Then I'll go get ready."

"Wait, did you just come back from the hospital just now?"Jack asked.

"Yes." Queenie nodded. Leia suddenly felt uncomfortable a few days ago, so she was admitted to the hospital again. "I ran into Mrs. Mallory when I walked out of Leia's ward."

Jack nodded.

Then, Queenie asked again, "What's wrong?"

Jack did not tell her what he was thinking about to prevent her from getting worried again. Therefore, he said, "Nothing. Go back and get ready."

"Okay." Queenie knew he had something else to do, so she turned around and left.

After Jack sent Queenie out of the door, he made a call. "Find out what's going on with the Mallory family these days."

Jack hung up the phone after he gave his orders and sat on the office chair, pondering.
