He just stood by the bed and looked at Leia indifferently without a trace of sorrow in his expression. His face was stern like a judge in a courtroom, not like a father's.

"You've been given another chance at life. If you get through this, I hope you'll be a decent human and not betray your mother's love for you."

With that, he left the intensive care unit.

The nurse who stood aside looked back at Leia after hearing his words.

Jack soon came out. He took off his sterile clothing and said, "Let's go."

"I want to stay here with Leia longer," said Queenie, who was reluctant to leave. Although they were only separated by a door, she could not see what went on behind that door.

"You can't ease her pain by standing here. Plus, she doesn't need your care right now. Go home and come back tomorrow when she's out of the ICU," Jack said sternly. He was very calm compared to Queenie's excessive worrying.

He may even come off as heartless...

Queenie looked at the door. There was nothing she could do to help Leia by standing here.

"Mrs. Norman, go back and get some rest. Ms. Norman will be able to return to the general ward tomorrow," Luca consoled her softly.

Finally, Queenie listened to Luca and went home with Jack.

Luca also got in Luke's car as they still had to return to work.

"It's a good thing you're here," Luke said as he drove.

"Huh?" Luca's mind was wandering until Luke's words brought her back to reality, but she did not know what he meant by that.

"She only listens to you." The 'she' that Luke was referring to was Queenie.

A few moments ago, Queenie refused to listen to a word Jack said, but when Luca did the same, she listened.
