In the hospital.

Leia took a bite of the breakfast that the caretaker bought and thought it tasted terrible. She could not help but lose her temper. "What did you buy for me? Why is it so unpalatable? Didn't my family pay?

Did you steal the money?"

The caretaker quickly shook her head. Her face was pale as she said, "I didn't! Ms. Norman, I wouldn't dare to steal your money..."

"Why are these things so unpalatable? Explain yourself!" Leia was upset. Her face was sallow, and she squinted her eyes to look at the caretaker in front of her.

"The Osborne isn't open today. I had no choice, so I bought your breakfast from the restaurant downstairs..." The caretaker explained. Leia was a picky eater. Even though she was sick, had no appetite, and could not eat much, she still insisted on eating the best and most expensive food around.

Fortunately, there was a famous breakfast place near the hospital, The Osborne. As such, the caretaker would have to leave the ward half an hour earlier every day just to queue up to buy breakfast for her. However, The Osborne was closed for a day off.

That was why she bought a croissant for Leia from the restaurant downstairs.

She did not expect that Leia would still be so picky and could tell that it was different even if her appetite had been small lately.

Leia frowned. She was very dissatisfied with the caretaker making a decision on her behalf. She scolded, "Couldn't you have gone farther away to look for something else even if they're not open today? Is the food in the hospital restaurant for humans?"

The caretaker shrank her neck in a grievance. 'Where would I have the time to do so? After all, Leia only gave me so much time.'

As a caretaker, she could not leave the patient alone for too long. She glanced at the monitoring equipment and noticed that Leia's blood pressure was rising. She quickly said, "Sorry, Ms. Norman. It won't happen again."

Leia's scolding was heard in the corridor. Queenie was there with Leia's breakfast and heard everything she said.
