Luke replied: [I won't be going to the company this morning. Postpone the meeting to the afternoon.]

Jason replied: [Okay. I've scheduled all the important arrangements for the afternoon, Boss. There are a few documents here that require your personal attention. I've already sent them to your email.]

Before Luke could respond, the door of the ward room was pushed open.

Luca, who sat opposite Queenie's ward, watched Queenie get pushed back to her ward room by the caretaker. She could not help but lower her head, avoiding Queenie from seeing her.

Queenie did not notice Luca. She was pushed into the ward and saw Luke. Just as her heart had finally calmed down a bit, it suddenly flared up again.

Despite her anger, she wore a cold expression on her face.

"Mom." Luke rose to his feet. The ward room door was still not completely closed. He saw Luca sitting across from the door and gave her a slight nod.

A touch of sorrow flashed across Queenie's eyes. She did not respond. Instead, she said to the caretaker, "We shouldn't air our family's dirty laundry in public. Please close the door."

"Okay."

The caretaker was about to close the door, but Jack spoke up. "We have something to discuss. Please step out for a moment."

"Yes, sir." The caretaker did not object and turned around to leave the ward. After closing the door behind her, she sat in a chair nearby.

She noticed the person sitting across from her, who wore a mask and a cap. She could not see her face, but her figure looked familiar.

The caretaker did not dwell on it as staring at someone for a long time was impolite. After a few glances, she shifted her gaze.

Inside the ward room, Queenie stubbornly sat there after the door closed. Her eyes held a look of anger as she stared at Luke.

Jack gave Luke's shoulder a reassuring pat. Luke looked like a young man who had it all together. Then, he walked toward Queenie. "Queen, don't be angry. Luke came here today to explain things to you."

"Is there anything to explain? It's all over the news, dear. You always said I was overthinking. What about now? He's betrayed Bianca!" Queenie had a refined demeanor and did not engage in public altercations, but Luke's actions had really left her feeling disheartened.
