Female Novel
Chapter 2444
Percy turned to look at Luca worriedly and said, “Dr. Craw, is she alright?"
“It's not a big deal. That's what white-collar workers face these days. If she nurses her health, nothingbad is going to happen to her." Luca knew what Nina was thinking about. Hence, she helped Nina toconceal it.
Percy let out a sigh of relief. He held Nina's hands and said in a low voice, “It's my fault. I didn't takegood care of you."
Nina shook her head. She could not blame him for that.
If she were to blame someone, she only had herself to blame. She did not take good care of herselfback then, and that was why she had health issues now.
Fortunately, Luca said her health could be nursed. Nina was no longer afraid.
Luke looked at the two of them. He cleared his throat and reminded them that they were not in a privatespace now.
Nina's face reddened. She withdrew her hands and said, “Besides, Luca gave me a prescription. Myhealth will recover after I take the medicine."
“That's great." Percy set his worries aside.
If it were another doctor, Percy would have taken Nina to see Johann and ask him to do the check-upfor her. However, it was Luca who checked on her this time, so he was assured.
The organization behind Luca was the Island of Despair. She was trained for three years on the island.The medical skills of the people on the Island of Despair, according to what Luke told Gale and Rain,were the top of the world.
Hence, Luca's skills must be good too.
Besides, based on what she had done before, Percy had confidence in her medical skills.
Percy looked at Luca and thanked her, “Dr. Craw, thank you."
“My pleasure." Luca gave him a faint smile and looked at how happy the newlyweds were. Shesuddenly turned to look at Luke, and only then did she realize Luke was staring at her too.
Nina turned to look at Luca and gave her a thankful smile.
Percy stood up and patted Luke's shoulder while saying, “I saw a pool table when I went upstairs.Come on, let's play a game."
Luke did not move and teased Percy instead, “Pool? Don't you have to keep your wife company?" "It'sbeen a long time since I played. I'd like to play a game of pool." Percy turned to look at Nina andwinked at her.
Nina smiled and said, "Mr. Crawford, do accompany him to play a round. He couldn't find anyone toplay with him when he was abroad."
Percy loved playing pool when he was not busy with his work.
The villa they stayed in when they traveled abroad had a pool table, but no one could play with Percy.
Nina knew nothing about playing pool. That was why Percy would play pool alone sometimes.
Luke turned to look at Luca. She did not say anything. Hence, he rose to his feet and patted Percy'sshoulder. "I haven't played for a while too. Let's go. The loser will buy the drinks for tonight."
"Isn't this your home? There must be a wine cellar here, yet you're asking someone else to buydrinks?" Percy asked as they made their way up the stairs together.
"If you lose, you'll pay me cash for the drinks you drink at my place at a discounted price," said Luke.Then, he added, "There must be a bet since you want to play."
"How petty. Fine. It's a deal," Percy agreed with him.
Nina listened to their conversation. Percy and Luke were talking childishly to each other like they werekids. She could not help but burst out laughing.
"Sometimes, men always have childish sides to them. They sound like children who never grew up,"said Nina.
Luca nodded as she agreed with what she said.
It had been a long time since she saw this side of Luke.
Luke had always been the independent man who was the head of the family in front of the public. Hewas responsible for supporting T Corporation and the Crawford family.
After making sure the two men had gone upstairs, Luca looked at Nina and asked, "Are you sure you'renot planning on telling Mr. Mallory that you're nursing your health to get pregnant?"
"I have a weak body. I have no idea when I'm going to get pregnant. I don't want to see Percydisappointed," Nina assured. Instead of letting Percy look forward to the birth of their child together onlyto end up disappointed, she would rather give him a surprise.
Luca wanted to say something but she hesitated.
Nina's health was not as bad as it seemed. It was just that the miscarriage had traumatized her, andher stressful life caused her to worry that she would be unable to get pregnant.
Fortunately, Percy and Nina eventually confessed to each other about their feelings. The two of themunderstood each other and were able to forgive each other. Nina's mental health had improved sincethen.
Nina looked at Luca. She smiled and said, "Don't worry. I'm better at dealing with great pressure now.It's just that Percy's busy with work, and I don't want him to worry about this."
Luca wanted to say if this was truly something to be worried about.
However, Nina had such thoughts, so there was nothing more Luca could say. After all, this wasbetween the couple.
Therefore, Luca changed the subject of the conversation and asked, "By the way, did the mother andson come looking for trouble after you gave them the money?"
Although one could not legally cut off ties with family, Luca truly thought that Anna and Jean did notdeserve to be Nina's mother and brother.novelbin
Hence, she used the words ‘mother and son’ to refer to them.
Nina knew who Luca was talking about right away. She smiled and said, “Everything became quietafter they took the money. They never came to disturb me again."
"Good for you." Luca nodded. However, she had a feeling that they would not give up that easily. Aperson’s greed could be infinite.
Even so, Anna and Jean had a large amount of money now. It was easy for them able to livecomfortably as long as they did not waste or splurge their money. They would be able to live a betterlife than others.
However, Anna and Jean spent money extravagantly...
Luca knew it. That was why she thought it was not over yet. As their family, of course, Nina would knowabout that.
Nina chuckled and laughed at herself, "Previously, Ms. Anna refused to get discharged from thehospital. She would always bring up some health issues whenever the doctor mentioned gettingdischarged from the hospital. She would claim that she was feeling unwell and was in pain. But sheimmediately got discharged from the hospital once she got the money. She told the doctor that shewanted to get discharged. The doctor suggested doing a check-up on her to make sure that she wasfine before she was permitted to get discharged. But she actually told the doctor that she knew hercondition well and there was no need to do check-ups as there was nothing wrong with her. After that,she got discharged from the hospital right away."
Johann told Nina about this after he heard Anna’s attending physician tell him about it.
Nina felt ironic when she heard that.
Anna did not feel sorry for Nina when she spent her hard-earned money. Staying in the hospital foranother day meant someone would be serving her for another day.
However, Anna was reluctant to spend a single cent of her own money. She immediately gotdischarged from the hospital. How laughable.
Nina grew up in the Langdon family. Her family name was Langdon too, but she was like an outsider.The mother and son treated her like their personal ATM.
Luca let out a sigh when she looked at the expression on Nina's face. She initially thought of changingthe subject of the conversation, but it made Nina reminisce about her past.
Luca held Nina's hands and said, "Hey, everything's fine now. Look, they're no longer pestering you,and you're married to Mr. Mallory now. It's wonderful. You have a perfect ending now."
"Yes. It’s a perfect ending, indeed." Nina smiled. The shadow that clouded her heart went away whenshe heard Percy’s name.
