Chapter 3418 Accepted Her As Her Daughter-In-Law
After signing the agreement, Karen eagerly handed it over to the man she believed to be the lawyer.
The moment the doctor took the shares transfer agreement, a syringe containing anesthesia slipped from his
sleeve and was swiftly injected into Karen's hand.
"You..." Karen felt a sharp sting, but before she could speak, her consciousness faded.
At the stime, the knife in her hand clattered to the floor.
The doctor quickly steadied her to prevent her from hitting her head when she collapsed.
"Luckily, the dose was strong enough, or she wouldn't have been knocked out so quickly." He gently laid her
down, checked to make sure she was unconscious, and then hurried out of the office to notify the hospital
director.
Percy quickly stepped forward, gently lifting Nina's chin to examine her wound.
"I'm fine," Nina said in a soft voice, lowering her head to hide the injury on her neck.
"Lettake a look at you," Percy insisted, gently lifting her chin again. After checking, he added, "It's not very
deep."
"Yeah, if | hadn't moved around so much, | wouldn't have been hurt," Nina replied in a soft voice. Although this
was all Karen's doing, Nina did not want to make things more difficult for him. That was why she did not want to
escalate the situation.
"Sit tight. I'll be right back," Percy said as he walked out of the office.
The director and several doctors entered the room.
The director approached Nina with an apologetic expression. "Mrs. Mallory, I'm truly sorry. This was due to
negligence on our part. We allowed the patient to escape, causing you distress. We're very sorry.
"I heard you were injured too. Why don't you let our doctor tend to your wound?"
The director carefully examined the injury on Nina's neck, then let out a sigh of relief.
Even though it had bled, it was not serious overall.
"No need to trouble yourselves. Just send her back." Nina glanced at the still-unconscious Karen with mixed
emotions.
If it had been anyone else, she would have demanded accountability.
However, Karen was the one who hurt her, and she could not bring herself to hold Karen accountable. She could
not pursue the matter with the hospital either. If this issue were to escalate, Old Master Mallory would definitely
find out.
It would only make things worse for Percy.
The last thing she wanted was to cause trouble.
Otherwise, it would make dealing with the Mallory family even more difficult for him.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Alright, alright." The director, relieved that Nina did not seem inclined to pursue the matter, heaved a sigh of
relief. He had genuinely feared that Nina would make an issue of it. Their hospital would be in big trouble if that
were the case.
He gestured for the medical staff to help carry Karen out. As they reached the door, they ran into Percy, who was
holding a medical kit.
"Mr. Mallory, we're taking the patient back to the hospital now. Don't worry, this will never happen again. We'll
reinforce the security, and until the patient fully recovers, she won't have the chance to escape," the director
promised earnestly.
Percy's expression remained cold as he glanced at the unconscious Karen. A ruthless glint flashed across his
eyes.
She was his mother.
Percy had never intended to treat her this way.
Had it not been for her increasingly erratic behavior and the absurd things she had done, he never would have
contacted the psychiatric hospital to have her admitted.
Many things had been out of necessity.
There had been a twhen he felt guilty for sending her to a psychiatric hospital. After all, as a son, he was
supposed to fulfill his duties. Sending his mother to a psychiatric hospital did not exactly seem like a loving
gesture.
However, not only did Karen refuse to properly undergo treatment, but she also sneaked out and even attempted
to use Nina to threaten him.
Now, that guilt had completely disappeared. Percy no longer felt guilty. He felt nothing but indifference toward
Karen.
"If this happens again, it won't be so easy to resolve." He warned the director, reminding him to do his job.
"Yes, yes, it won't happen again!" the director hurriedly assured him.
If there was another mistake, both he and the hospital were done for.
The director fully understood this and began mentally planning how to arrange staff to ensure Karen was closely
monitored around the clock so that she would not escape again. After the director and the others left, Percy
closed the office door and walked to the desk, setting the medical kit down.
"Lettake care of your wound." Percy's tone was gentle as though he was comforting a frightened little
animal.
Nina was indeed shaken, but after seeing Karen collapse, she had already calmed down considerably. After
everything that had happened, she was no longer the timid Nina of the past.
As long as the immediate danger was over, she could bounce back, just like now.
"I'm fine," Nina muttered softly, obediently tilting her head up.
Percy replied in a low voice, "I know you're fine, but the wound still needs treatment."
He took a cotton swab, dipped it in iodine, and gently applied it to the wound on her neck. The iodine was not
too irritating.
Nina did not feel any pain. Instead, the sensation of the cotton swab lightly brushing her
skin made her slightly ticklish.
Nina's fingers curled slightly as she fought to suppress the sensation.
After disinfecting, Percy asked in a soft tone, "Does it hurt?"
"No, it's just a little ticklish." Nina smiled and shook her head to indicate it was more of a tickle than pain.
Percy let out a quiet sigh of relief.
"As long as it doesn't hurt, that's good. It's a small wound. Should | put a band-aid on it?"
He had originally thought about wrapping it in gauze, but that would make the injury look
more severe.
Now, everyone knew Nina was his wife.
If her neck were wrapped in gauze now, those who did not know the full story might create a
big scene.
Percy did not want to stir up unnecessary trouble because of this.
He definitely did not want their private lives to be speculated about.
"Alright." Nina nodded, agreeing to cover the wound. Without it, the injury on her neck
would be far too noticeable.
Even with a band-aid, it might still draw attention. However, at most, others would just let their imaginations run
wild without realizing she had been hurt.
Percy carefully placed three
band-aids over the wound, ensuring it
was completely covered "Dok "He

Nina teased him, "I didn't know you were such a doctor!"
"This is basic knowledge," replied

The bag Karen brought did contain several items, including a knife.
At the thought of it, Nina turned her gaze toward the bag that had been discarded in the
corner.
