Karen had gone crazy? That was impossible!
If she went crazy, it was definitely not because of him. It must be that scoundrel, Percy,
who had driven her insane.
Even though Pierre could not speak, he refused to believe that he had done anything
wrong.
He even thought that it was Percy's fault he ended up like this. Perhaps Percy bribed
Johann to make him a cripple!
When Old Master Mallory noticed that Pierre refused to respond to him, he realized that his
words were falling on deaf ears.
He concluded that Pierre had gone mad because of his crippled leg.
The nurse was wrong.
Pierre would not listen to what he said!
"You've always been strong since you were young, but how can a strong person not accept
it just because they've lost a leg? They face difficulties head-on. Pierre, get better soon. I'll
still support you and help you get everything you want." Old Master Mallory felt
exhausted. Even though he was still unhappy with Percy's choice of marrying Nina after
the incident, he no longer had any expectations for Pierre.
He only said that to encourage Pierre to pull himself together.
Discussions about the future could be saved for another time. Pierre could not just go mad
every day and rely on sedatives to calm himself down, right?
Pierre blinked twice when he heard Old Master Mallory said that he would help him.
He doubted if he misheard it, but Old Master Mallory's promise was genuine and real.
Old Master Mallory felt relieved and sad at the same time when he saw Pierre respond.
Pierre refused to give up on taking over Mallory Corporation.
Even though he had become crippled because of it, he still wanted to fight against Percy.
Was he not afraid?
However, if fighting against Percy and taking over the company could help Pierre pull
himself together, Old Master Mallory did not plan to shatter his hopes.
Although he did not hold any hope for Pierre, he could give him his words, and the rest
would all depend on Pierre's fate.
"You can only deal with these after you've recovered. Take good care of yourself. I can't go
in and out of the hospital as it might attract the police's attention and let them know
you're here. Rest well. I'll be waiting for you to come home," said Old Master Mallory. He
also explained why he could not keep on coming to the hospital. Then, he stood up and
left.
Although Pierre had been given sedatives, he could still use his expressions and gestures
to express himself.
His gaze was fixed on the hospital ceiling after Old Master Mallory left. His face twisted
with a haunting blend of resentment and unsettling emotions as a sinister plot brewed
within him.
Percy Mallory, Luke Crawford...
Did they think that he would crumble just because he had a crippled leg?
Although he could not accept it now, he swore to himself that once he got better, he would
make them disabled. One would get a crippled arm while the other a crippled leg!
Then, he would claim their women as his own and make them please him in front of them!
The more Pierre thought about it, the more terrifying his expression became.
The caretaker was startled for a moment when she came to adjust his IV drip and saw his
expression.
If she were superstitious, she might suspect that he was being possessed.
For the next few days, whenever Luca had free time, she would run to the hospital to
deliver meals to Wanda.
Wanda's condition was getting better day by day, and she became more energetic.
Johann said that Wanda's wound was healing, and the drainage tube could be removed
tomorrow.
This was good news.
Wanda was happy. She enjoyed the food Luca brought.
However, her body was weak due to the surgery, and she could only eat a small portion,
which was less than before.
Of course, when Luca brought food and soup to Wanda, she would also prepare Mrs.
Lane's portion.
Mrs. Lane was pleased because she saved a lot of money on her meals. She was even
more determined to help Luca keep the secret and not let Wanda know about Luca and
Luke's relationship.
While Wanda's condition was improving, the children had some complaints.
They would often call Luca and ask when they could return to the villa after school.
It was not that they did not like living with Old Master Crawford, but they missed Luca and
Luke after staying at Crawford Manor for a couple of days.
Their parents were in A City, but they could not see them. Of course, they would complain
about it!
When Luca mentioned it to Luke, he pondered for a moment and said, "Ask Zander to
send them back home this Friday. Then send them back to Crawford Manor on Monday.
They'll probably have to stay there for another week."
Luca was surprised when she heard that. Luke said the children only needed to stay at
Crawford Manor for a few days at first. However, it would not be just a few days if they
stayed for another week.
Luca could not help but ask, "Why?"
"T Corporation is preparing for the new project in A City. There are other projects as well.
I'm busy. Besides, you're taking care of Aunt Wanda. We don't have time to look after
them," explained Luke.
Luca had chosen to take care of Wanda. That was why she did not have time to
accompany the children.
In that case, it was better to let the children stay at Crawford Manor for a few more days.
This way, Luca would not have to juggle work, taking care of Wanda, and looking after the
children all at once.
Luca fell silent for a moment.
Taking care of Wanda was what she decided to do, but she could also take care of the
children while taking care of Wanda.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt was just that she might not be able to take good care of the children...
Moreover, Luke made such an arrangement because he did not want her to be burdened...
Luca could only agree with his decision.
The children were sensible. They could understand why as long as Luca explained to them
what they had been busy with during this time.
However, Luca wanted to spend more time with the children.
She decided that she would let the children move back to the villa once Wanda's condition
got better. She felt sorry to leave the kids with Old Master Crawford and Mr. Griffin at
Crawford Manor all the time.
On the other hand, Rain walked leisurely to the water room and looked at Mandy, who was
drenched.
She had been staying in this water room for almost a week.
Mandy refused to speak. It seemed like she was certain that Rain would not kill her.
Therefore, even though she suffered a lot, she refused to tell her how she got the money.
Rain was running out of patience.
She did not expect Mandy to be so afraid of going to prison, to the extent where she would
choose to overcome the fear in her heart.
Rain asked in a lazy tone, "Ms. Sanders, how are you feeling?"
Mandy tried hard to open her eyes, but it was futile since her eyes were constantly
covered by a black cloth.
She had no idea how many days she had been held here. She could still guess the time
based on the number of times she was given the nutrient injections for the first two days,
but she lost track of it after the frequency increased.
It must have been many days...
During this time, everything was done in this water room. It all happened in this room no
matter if she was being forced to receive a nutrient injection when she refused to eat or
when she had to use the bathroom.
Rain had arranged for someone to keep an eye on her.
The person guarding her would tear off the tape and let her speak if Mandy needed to.
If she needed to use the bathroom, women would come to help.
The men watching her had never taken advantage of her.
It was precisely because of this that Mandy became even more convinced that the person
who kidnapped her only wanted to torture her. They wanted her to reveal how she got that
money when she could not stand it any longer. They had no intention of killing her.
