“Stop crying crocodile tears if you're here to visit the patient. Your younger brother is the one who made Luca's
face like this. Nurse, this man is up to no good. Get him out of here," Nina said with a sharp voice.
The nurse helplessly looked at the two people who seemed to hate each other. She then turned to look at Luca.
"What's wrong with them?"
Luca shook her head, telling her that she had no way to deal with them either. She would be able to convince them
if she could talk. However, she could not talk now, and they were not reading the messages she typed on her
phone.
The nurse stepped forward and stood in between them right away. "You're in the ward now. Go outside and you can
argue as much as you like. The patient needs some quiet to rest."
Nina rolled her eyes with her arms crossed. She looked like she was disregarding what the nurse said. "Who wants
to argue with him? I'm here to look after the patient. He's not welcome here. Who's to blame for that?"
"I came to visit Ms. Craw." Percy felt what he did earlier was childish. He now tried to reason with Nina in front of
Luca.
He had never done that before. He felt embarrassed when the nurse stared at him. He put the fruit basket and
supplements on the floor, turned to look at Luca, and said, "Ms. Craw, rest well."
Luca nodded her head.
Nina gave him a look that seemed to mean that she refused to talk to him anymore. Percy knew she would not
approve his friend request no matter how much he said.
He could only wait for the next opportunity...
After Percy talked to Luca, he said to Nina, "You'll approve my friend request next time."
He left the ward after that.
The nurse left the ward too after Percy left.
Nina glanced at the door when she heard it close, then she said, "Pfft, I'll be an idiot if I approve your friend
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtrequest."
Luca knocked on the bedside table.
Nina stood up and came beside her. "What's the matter? Are you thirsty? Do you want to eat something?"
Luca shook her head and typed a sentence on her phone. [Don't be so sure about that. You might just eat your own
words.]
Nina was startled for a moment, then she retorted immediately, “Luca, why are you telling me this too? I'm not
talking big. I'm just confident. And I have nothing to do with him anymore."
[But I can see that you're concerned about Mr. Mallory. Why are you fighting with him if you care about him?] Luca
questioned her back.
"I hate him. When you run into someone you hate, you won't only argue with them but you'll fight with them too. If
it isn't because I can't win him in a fight, I would've punched him in the face just now." Nina tapped and held the
delete button on the phone screen, deleting what Luca typed just now. "You're the patient here. You don't have to
be concerned about so many things. Take a good rest. Forget about Percy."
[No, I can't stand seeing you lying to yourself while deceiving others.] Luca typed another line of text. She was
destined to live an unhappy life, but she hoped that Nina could live happily.
Percy had a strong family background. Eventually, he would find a way to protect her if he truly loved her.
Nina looked at what Luca had typed and muttered, "You weren't bribed by his fruit basket, were you? You're even
backing him up now. Well, let me get you a glass of water. I'll give you a sponge bath after that, alright?"
Luca nodded.
Nina turned around and walked into the bathroom. She picked up a washtub and filled it with water. She was
thinking about what had happened just now.
Did Percy really come to visit Luca?
Why did he ask her about his friend request if he really came to visit Luca?
Could it be that he knew she was here, so he used Luca as an excuse to see her?
As Nina listened to the sound of water running, she suddenly had the urge to know the answer.
She picked up her phone, planning to look at the friend request she received on Instagram again. Suddenly, a news
notification popped out.
'Master Percy of the Mallory family is getting married to the daughter of the Johnston family soon.
According to insider news, the two families will unite through marriage.'
Nina felt the blood in her body begin to flow backward when she saw it.
She tapped on the news notification numbly and confirmed that the headline was not clickbait created by the
website to simply garner traffic. The content was relevant to the headline, and the news article also stated that the
insider was someone related to the Mallory family.
Nina's hand was slightly shivering, and she smiled mockingly.
How ridiculous. Just a few moments ago, she thought Percy came here to ask for peace, and she even thought that
he still had feelings for her.
She did not expect...
"Percy Mallory, you're a bastard!" Nina swore as she opened her Instagram and tapped on the reject request
button.
She lifted her head and looked in the mirror. Her eyes were red, and she looked like she was about to burst into
tears. The news crushed her, and she was completely breaking down at this moment.
She thought she was not in love with Percy and that he did not love her either.
However, after seeing him twice, she got the wrong impression that Percy was actually in love with her. She thought
he probably had his own reason for agreeing to marry the daughter of the Johnston family.
Right now...
How funny was it.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHow could a man be in love with her if he was going to marry someone else?
Nina looked at herself in the mirror, and she could see why she was breaking down. It was all because of Percy.
It was because she was in love with Percy.
How could she still be in love with Percy? He was mean, and he was a player. He had so many flaws.
In her previous relationship, she was coerced, imprisoned, and trapped.
How did she fall in love with a man like that?
Nina covered her face with her hands when she realized she was still in love with Percy.
She thought she had left the relationship dashingly, but after her true feelings were suddenly exposed, she started
to feel lost. She was unable to face it.
Percy was getting married to the daughter of the Johnston family. What was she supposed to do.
It was not easy for her to fall in love with a man. Now, everything was telling her that the man she loved was not in
love with her.
Nina's tears streamed down her face.
The washtub was overflowing with water. The water had spilled onto the floor, and her feet were wet.
Nina moved her hands and looked at the washtub full of water. She suddenly had the urge to stick her face into the
washtub full of water.
However, she could not do that.
Luca was still waiting for her out there. She was the one who caused Luca to experience such a traumatic incident.
There was Anna and Jean as well, who were like vampires sucking every penny out of her.
Nina tried to calm down, and she looked at herself in the mirror. Although her eyes were red, she still looked
somewhat normal.
She put her phone back into her pocket. Then, she poured some water out of the washtub.
She picked up the washtub and walked out of the bathroom.
Luca was holding her phone. She had seen the news too. Then, she watched Nina walk in and noticed that her eyes
were red. She quietly let out a sigh.
