Chapter 1764

In the villa.

Nina was groggy. A needle was inserted into the back of her hand. The nutrition solution was deliveredinto her body through her veins.

She still refused to eat, so she got so weak that she was ill with a fever.

After they administered the fever-reducing injection, the female doctor adjusted the speed of thenutrition infusion and looked at the male doctor. "Why don't we leave the needle in? If her fever doesn'tgo away, she'll have to go for an intravenous infusion at noon and another bag of nutrition solutionlater. I'm afraid the boss won't be happy if we keep stabbing her."

The male doctor looked at Nina, then at the maid. He left the decision to her. “Do you think we shouldleave the needle in?”

The maid replied in an indifferent tone, "Do you dare to do so? She's not a mental patient yet has to berestricted by a straitjacket. After you're done with the infusion, you have to loosen the straitjacket. Canyou guarantee that she won't hurt herself using the needle after we leave?"

The male doctor nodded in agreement. "If she tries anything, we'll never hear the end of it from theboss."

"However, these needles..." The female doctor frowned when she thought of how Nina's hands weredensely packed with needles.

"Don't worry. She won't stay stubborn for much longer. Her arrogance will be worn away quickly. You'llbe done with her soon enough," the maid said confidently. 'It won't take long for a man like Pierre toconquer Nina.'

The two agreed with what the maid said. They believed that Nina would be fine as long as she waswilling to obey Pierre.novelbin

"I made some refreshments. Let's go have some and come back to check on her later." The maidsuggested.

"Okay." The doctors left together.

As soon as the three of them walked out of the room, they were shocked by the sight in front of them. Agroup of men had rushed into the living room with weapons in their hands.

The maid was scared shitless. When she saw Percy, she immediately acted calm and said, "YoungMaster Percy, why are you here?"

Percy looked at the door of the room behind her with a stern expression. When he saw the maid, hewas certain that Nina was locked up here by Pierre.

The maid used to work for the Mallory family. Pierre was satisfied with her capabilities and asked her towork for him so that she could manage his villa.

"Is Nina inside?" Percy asked.

The maid knew that she was in trouble and acted dumb. "Nina? Who? I don't understand what you'retalking about. Young Master Percy, why did you bring so many people here? You must know that thisvilla belongs to Young Master Pierre."

"I'll give you one more chance. Is Nina in there?" Percy asked while he glared at her.

The maid shook with fear and immediately replied, "Young Master Percy, it's not my fault. I'm justfollowing Young Master Pierre's commands. If I did something wrong, it's because Young Master Pierreasked me to do so."

Percy shoved them to the side and opened the bedroom door with force. He quickly walked over whenhe saw Nina, who was lying on the bed. "Nina."

Nina was in a daze. She thought she heard someone calling her and tried to open her eyes, but it wasto no avail.

When she did not respond, Percy noticed the needles on the back of her hand and carefully pulledthem out. "Nina, I came to save you. Sorry that I'm late."

As soon as the needles were removed, Nina's veins began to bleed. Percy grabbed the cotton swab onthe bedside table and pressed on the wound.

The maid walked in, trembling. The men outside seemed as though they were ready to swallow herwhole. She tried to defend herself, saying, "Young Master Percy, it's not my fault. I'm just working underhim. I just do whatever he tells me to..."

Percy ignored her and continued to call out to Nina, "Nina, can you hear me?"

She seemed to hear Percy's voice...

Nina shook her head and wanted to open her eyes to look at the person in front of her. However, hereyelids were too heavy and she could not open them.

When he saw that, Percy turned his head and said sullenly, "What did you do to her?!"

"I didn't do anything!" The maid quickly denied any wrongdoing on her part.

"Why does she look like this if you hadn't done anything?" Percy did not believe her.

"Ms. Nina has a fever now. Of course, she would be drowsy. Don't worry. After I learned she has afever, I asked the doctors to come over and they gave her a fever-reducing jab," the maid said quickly,

trying to explain herself.

"Then what is this?" Percy asked while he held a needle up.

The maid said, "This is for the nutrition solution. Ms. Nina refused to eat, so we had no choice but tohave her undergo infusion therapy. This is good for her health and has absolutely no side effects."

Percy threw the needle on the floor and looked at her with an indifferent expression. "You falselyimprisoned her. You can explain yourself to the police."

The maid fell down with a loud thump. She knelt on the floor, begging for mercy, "Young Master Percy,you can't do this to me. I'm just doing what Young Master Pierre told me to. If you send me to prison,your brother will be dragged along!" "It was Pierre who told you to do all of this? If you have anyevidence, you can tell the police." Percy bent over and touched Nina's forehead with his hand. Hefound that she was burning.

He picked her up and left.

Luke stood in the living room and asked when he saw Percy carry Nina out, "What happened to her?"

"She hasn't eaten for several days. Her body is weak and feverish," Percy explained. He then looked athis subordinates and said, "I'll leave this to you. Make sure you send all those guilty to the policestation. If I find that someone has slipped through the net, you know what I'll do to you, yeah?"

"Boss, I know what I should do." The subordinate shuddered when he realized that Percy was notjoking and immediately instructed his men to start moving.

Luke picked up his phone and texted Johann. He then said to Percy, "Johann is already waiting for youin the hospital."

"Thanks." Percy never thought that Nina would be here. He just wanted to try his luck after receivingthe anonymous call. As such, he did not plan it out thoroughly.

Had he made arrangements in advance, the ambulance would have been waiting outside.

Percy walked out of the villa with Nina in his arms, got into his car, and instructed the driver to go to thehospital. He held Nina in his arms the entire way.

Nina lay in his arms and felt very uncomfortable. She opened her eyes and looked at the man holdingher.

Her gaze was hazy because of the high fever, but the familiar smell in her nose reminded her of Percy.

"Is it you?" she asked. Her throat was coarse and uncomfortable because of the high fever.

"It's me," Percy replied. Although she did not ask who it was, he intuitively knew that Nina was referringto him.

"You... finally came. I feel terrible..." Nina buried her head in his arms. When one was sick, they wouldbe vulnerable and want to find the person they loved most to lean on.
