Karen refused to listen to a thing he said, but Percy's last words made her panic.
She knew deep down that there was a high chance of Pierre being found by the police. No
matter how much she asked the hospital staff to cooperate, it would all be of no avail.
Karen snorted. “You'd better not lie to me. If anything happens to Pierre, I won't let you off
the hook, and that bitch too!"
Percy's eyes turned gloomy when he heard her cursing the woman he loved.
However, he suppressed it because arguing with her was the least important thing right
now.
Hearing the mother and son talk as if they were having a conference made the director's
head ache. He looked at Percy, waiting for his final order.
"We'll leave now," said Percy. The police were already downstairs, so they could not delay
any further.
Karen nodded reluctantly. After all, if this incident affected the Mallory family, it would be
Pierre who would get the short end of the stick.
Percy looked at the director. "Do you have a separate exit for staff?"
"We do." The director nodded frantically before reminding him, "However, the staff exit
leads to the parking lot, so you'll still be checked by the police and reporters."
"Alright." Percy did not panic as he planned to disguise Karen before leaving.
Even if Karen were to disguise herself, she would still look like a woman. Whereas for him,
as long as he showed the police that both his legs were well-functioning, nothing would
happen to him.
In the informant's email, the people from the Island of Despair mentioned that Pierre was
getting his leg treated at the hospital.
"Mr. Mallory, after you leave, what about us..." the director asked cautiously.
"I've already made the arrangements. A doctor in your hospital will be taking care of this
matter, so it won't affect your hospital," said Percy.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe director was surprised to hear that he managed to persuade a doctor.
It seemed like the power of the Mallory family should not be underestimated. Even if the
doctor who was going to take care of this matter would not be going to jail, his reputation
would be damaged.
The fact that the doctor agreed meant that Percy must have made a deal with him.
Percy left with Karen through the staff exit before finding his car in the parking lot.
After they got in the car, they headed straight toward the hospital exit.
Sure enough, they were stopped by the police before they could leave.
“Hello, please roll down the window and show your ID." The police officer's voice could be
heard.
Karen became anxious after they were instructed to show their IDs. That meant that the
police would find out that she was from the Mallory family.
In that case, Pierre would be affected!
Karen got even more anxious, but there was nothing she could do. She just watched Percy
take out an ID from his pocket. "Hello, we're reporters."
"Reporters?" The policeman took a look at the IDs. The entrance of the hospital was not
well-lit, and the lights in the car were not turned on either, so it was pretty dark. Not to
mention, Percy was wearing a cap, so his face could not be seen clearly.
The police officer deliberately glanced at his legs and saw that they were fine. Then, he
looked at the person in the passenger seat. "Where's your ID?"
Before Karen could speak, Percy said, "This is my assistant. She came out in a rush, so she
didn't bring her ID."
"Reporters aren't allowed in the hospital, so how did you get in?" the police asked.
"Of course, we can't just brazenly walk in here. I just so happen to have a relative who's a
doctor here, so... I got the news early. Plus, I live around the corner, so I got here before
they even arrived. Look at all the equipment behind. I didn't get much, though. I heard
that the police were here, and my colleagues are coming over soon, so I clocked off,"
Percy lied without blinking an eye.
"Sure. Open the trunk for inspection please." The police did not doubt his identity. After
not finding anything in his trunk, he let them go.
After Percy successfully brought Karen out of the hospital, he said, "I'll send you back to
the manor."
Karen suddenly recalled that before she went out today, Old Master Mallory warned her
not to go near the hospital so as not to let them know that Pierre was hospitalized.
However, she did not listen and insisted on going.
Little did she know that this would happen. She trembled out of fear at the thought of the
old master's threatening gaze and immediately said, "I'm not going back to the manor.
Take me back to your place."
Percy frowned.
"If you're going to send me back to the manor, turn around and just drop me off at the
hospital," said Karen after he did not give her an answer.
She did not want to go back and listen to the old master's criticism.
Besides, if he saw that Percy sent her back, he would know that she went to the hospital.
Plus, Percy would not cover up for her.
"Nina is at home," said Percy, not wanting his mother to provoke Nina.
Karen snorted as she looked out the window and said, "So what? You bought the house
with the Mallory family's money, so it's also property of the Mallory family. She's just an
outsider living there. I'm the real owner."
Percy frowned as he had bought the house with his own money, so it did not belong to the
Mallory family.
However, telling Karen all of this was useless as she only believed what she chose to
believe. She would ignore everything else.
“I also need to keep an eye on you. Don't think that you'll be safe when the police take
Pierre away. If you don't bail him out, I'll report to them that you were the one who hid
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmPierre in the hospital," Karen threatened again.
Percy continued driving with a livid expression.
Most of the time, there would be no emotion on his face. He was usually so calm that
nobody knew what he was thinking.
However, at this moment, he really wanted to ask Karen if he was her biological son.
How could she treat him and Pierre so differently when they were just born a few years
apart?
Did she become like this just because he chose to marry Nina instead of following the
family's arrangements by marrying someone they chose?
Percy knew deep down that this was not the reason.
He knew a long time ago that out of her two sons, Karen favored Pierre, which was why
Pierre was so fearless.
Percy knew that since he was a child. However, he carried a heavy burden on his
shoulders, so he needed Old Master Mallory's approval more than his mother's love.
It was just that he never expected that Karen would be willing to sacrifice him to save
Pierre.
It was as if he was not her own...
Percy did not have much affection for his family in the first place, but this still made him
upset. He wanted to ask Karen, but in the end, he chose not to.
He pursed his lips into a thin line and lifted his chin up resolutely as he suppressed his
curiosity.
Percy held himself back.
"I'm telling you again. Don't you think about sending me back to the manor." Seeing how
he still had not replied, Karen emphasized again.
"I know." Percy's voice was stiff. When they stopped at a red light, he sent Nina a message
so that she could mentally prepare herself.
Karen was not easy to deal with.
Tonight, the one who had to suffer was not Pierre but Nina.
