Female Novel
Chapter 2906
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 howmuch 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 whowould 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 theparking 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 ashe 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 legtreated 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 itwon't affect your hospital," said Percy.
The 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 whowas 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 wouldfind 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 anID 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, andthe lights in the car were not turned on either, so it was pretty dark. Not to mention, Percy was wearinga 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 theperson 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'tbring 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 atall the equipment behind. I didn't get much, though. I heard that the police were here, and mycolleagues 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 findinganything 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 nearthe 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'sthreatening 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," saidKaren after he did not give her an answer.
She did not want to go back and listen to the old master's criticism.novelbin
Besides, if he saw that Percy sent her back, he would know that she went to the hospital. Plus, Percywould 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 theMallory family's money, so it's also property of the Mallory family. She's just an outsider living there. I'mthe real owner."
Percy frowned as he had bought the house with his own money, so it did not belong to the Malloryfamily.
However, telling Karen all of this was useless as she only believed what she chose to believe. Shewould 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. Ifyou don't bail him out, I'll report to them that you were the one who hid Pierre in the hospital," Karenthreatened 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 knewwhat 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'sarrangements 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 sofearless.
Percy knew that since he was a child. However, he carried a heavy burden on his shoulders, so heneeded 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. Hewanted 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 notreplied, Karen emphasized again.
"I know." Percy's voice was stiff. When they stopped at a red light, he sent Nina a message so that shecould mentally prepare herself.
Karen was not easy to deal with.
Tonight, the one who had to suffer was not Pierre but Nina.
