Female Novel
Chapter 1769
Nina took the peeled grapes and said, "Some of your habits are very similar to mine."
"Isn't that normal? After all, we're good friends." Luca smiled. She then lowered her head andcontinued to peel the grapes for her.
Outside the ward.
Percy and Luke each had a cigarette in their hand.
"How's it going?" Luke asked. If Percy was willing to make a move on Pierre, he would be more thanhappy to help.
Although Pierre had not made any big moves now, they all saw his ambition.
Right now, he was only afraid of the two old masters from the Crawford and Mallory families. After afew years, no one would be able to control him when he grew stronger. As such, it was necessary todeal with a hazard like Pierre as soon as possible.
"Those involved have been taken to the police station. Pierre should know that I've rescued Nina bynow." Percy took a deep breath and blew out some smoke circles.
In front of Nina, all he could do was to take good care of her and show her his gentleness. In placeswhere she could not see him, he was melancholic and ruthless.
The melancholy was because Pierre was his younger brother. The Mallory family would definitely notallow him to deal with Pierre publicly.
The worst thing was that as his younger brother, Pierre went for the woman he loved the most, as wellas made moves behind his back.
Although the Mallories were not in charge of the company, it was impossible for them not to know aboutwhat Pierre had been doing. Although they knew that what he was doing may harm the interests ofMallory Corporation at any time, they did not say anything.
Percy knew that if he went after Pierre, the majority of the Mallories might be on Pierre's side.
His road of vengeance would be difficult.
Percy smoked his cigarette and remembered what Old Master Mallory had once taught him. "In thisworld, the strong will dominate the weak. It doesn't matter if you're the eldest grandson of the Malloryfamily and you've been trained to be the heir since you were young. If one day, they find that you're notas good as your younger brother, even if the Mallories are on your side, the shareholders of MalloryCorporation won't be. As such, you must be strong enough to carry the Mallory Corporation.”
"What should I do next?" Luke continued to ask. He had no choice but to let go of what had happenedlast time due to the interference of various forces. This time, he would help Percy no matter what.
"Wait for my notice." Percy had not thought it through. He had already found someone to keep watch atthe police station. He would be immediately notified if Pierre or other strangers went to visit those keysuspects.
"Okay. If you decide to avenge Nina, I'll help you. After all, Pierre has also touched my woman," Lukesaid. He held onto some guilt for having to mind the bigger picture and not being able to avenge Luca.
Pierre had offended him and now, he had offended Percy. His good days were coming to an end.
"By the way, my people can't track the anonymous phone number. Can I borrow someone from yourside?" Percy asked. He did not pay much attention to the anonymous call at first because he thoughtthat it was a prank call.
After he found Nina, he asked someone to investigate the matter but they could not find out the sourceof the call.
"You don't have to look for it as you won't be able to find the person behind it," Luke said. "The callcame at the perfect timing and was anonymous. On top of that, the signal was hidden with specialsoftware. Do you think that it can be tracked that easily?"
"Based on your tone, you know who called me?" Percy frowned suspiciously.
Luke glanced at the ward's door and noticed that Luca was still inside.
"Luca has been worried about Nina," he said.
Percy nodded. He knew that Luca had tried everything to find Nina.
"We've always suspected that Luca is refusing to admit her true identity because there are forcesbehind her that are forcing her to do so. There's someone who's keeping watch of her," Luke said. It didnot seem like a coincidence that Amur came back yesterday and they received an anonymous call thenext day.
He suspected that it was Luca who asked Amur to help find Nina.
The forces behind Luca forced her to go through plastic surgery and then arranged a fake Bianca to beby his side. They must have a foothold in A City. Otherwise, how dare they act so boldly?
"You suspect it's Luca?" Percy snuffed out the cigarette and asked.
"I suspect it's Luca's titular brother." Luke's attitude was not the best when he mentioned Amur. As aman, he had a natural hostility toward Amur.
Percy nodded and thought that his suspicions were not unreasonable.
"I've gotten someone to watch him in secret." Luke also put out the cigarette.
Percy opened the window. Nina did not like the smell of cigarettes on him, so he had stopped himselffrom smoking. If the matter was not that serious, he would not be smoking.
After a while, the two walked in. When they saw Luca sitting on the chair beside the bed feeding Ninagrapes, they looked at each other.
True friendship never went away. Even though Luca had changed her identity, Nina quickly acceptedher.
Luca heard the sound of them walking in and looked at them. "Are you done talking?"
"Yeah." Luke nodded. He was envious of how she was taking care of Nina.
Luca put the last peeled grape in Nina's hand and put the plate aside.
"The doctor said you can eat solid food now, so I'll cook some chicken soup for you tonight, okay?" shesaid.
"That sounds wonderful." Nina's eyes lit up.
Luca glanced at Luke. She knew that he still had work to do. Besides, she had a bunch of documentsto translate. She stood up and said, "I'll come back later."
"Mm, you don't have to worry about me. Go." Nina nodded. Her mood significantly improved after shespent some time with Luca.
Luca and Luke left.
Percy walked over and got close to the hospital bed. When he saw Nina half-lying, he frowned andasked, "Are you comfortable lying down like this? If not, I'll adjust the bed for you."
"No, I'm fine. I can watch TV like this. I promise I'm fine." Nina's mouth curled into a shallow smile.
Percy nodded.
The phone in his pocket rang. He picked it up and saw that it was Madam Mallory calling. His moodsank as he hung up the call.
Nina noticed what he did and that his expression became worse after seeing the caller ID. She askedcautiously, "If you're busy..."
"I'm not busy. I'll stay with you," Percy said, not planning to leave.
He was worried that Pierre would make a move if he left.
The hospital was not under him. Even if he arranged his men to guard Nina here, he would feel more atease if he personally kept guard of her.novelbin
After these few days, he was deeply aware that he could not bear to lose Nina.
