"How's Mrs. Norman doing? What did the doctor say?" asked Luca. She was caught off guard by this sudden piece of gossip news. Her once peaceful state of mind was shattered, leaving her with a buzzing brain.

She did not know how to clarify things. All she wanted now was for those who mattered to her to be safe and sound.

"I just asked Johann. Her condition isn't too good. She needs rest." Luke’s expression remained unchanged as he told this white lie.

Luca would certainly contact Johann to find out more about Queenie’s condition. Luke had already informed Johann about that.

When Luca asked about Queenie's situation, they had to make her believe that it was not optimistic.

Luca's heart tightened, unsure if Luke was deliberately misleading her. However, she believed that Queenie’s condition was really terrible.

She felt helpless, never expecting that her selfishness would lead to Queenie falling ill...

For a moment, Luca had the urge to reveal the truth and her real identity as Bianca.

As she sat in the passenger seat, she clenched her fist. Upon loosening it, she tightened it again a few seconds later.

Luca was lost.

When the thought of the gossip news crossed her mind, she asked, "What about the gossip news? What should we do about it?"

"I might have to trouble you for a moment," Luke casted a sidelong glance at her. He could see that Luca was upset. His heart was torn, but he had to continue. "I’ll hold a press conference to clear up this rumor."

"Alright." Luca nodded. She knew that if Luke cleared things up on his side, she might have to deal with public opinion turning against her on her side.

She would be treated unfairly.

However, as long as the public, Queenie, as well as Wanda and the others, believed in her, she did not mind.
