Chapter 1769
Nina took the peeled grapes and said, "Sof your habits are very similar to mine."
"Isn't that normal? After all, we're good friends." Luca smiled. She then lowered her head and continued 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 than happy 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 a few years, no one would be able to control him when he grew stronger. As such, it was necessary to deal 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 by now." Percy took a deep breath and blew out ssmoke circles.
In front of Nina, all he could do was to take good care of her and show her his gentleness. In places where she could not see him, he was melancholic and ruthless.
The melancholy was because Pierre was his younger brother. The Mallory family would definitely not allow 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 well as made moves behind his back.
Although the Mallories were not in charge of the company, it was impossible for them not to know about what Pierre had been doing. Although they knew that what he was doing may harm the interests of Mallory Corporation at any time, they did not say anything.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtPercy 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 this world, the strong will dominate the weak. It doesn't matter if you're the eldest grandson of the Mallory family and you've been trained to be the heir since you were young. If one day, they find that you're not as good as your younger brother, even if the Mallories are on your side, the shareholders of Mallory Corporation 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 happened last tdue 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 at the police station. He would be immediately notified if Pierre or other strangers went to visit those key suspects.
"Okay. If you decide to avenge Nina, I'll help you. After all, Pierre has also touched my woman," Luke said. He held onto sguilt 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 your side?" Percy asked. He did not pay much attention to the anonymous call at first because he thought that it was a prank call.
After he found Nina, he asked someone to investigate the matter but they could not find out the source of 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 call cat the perfect timing and was anonymous. On top of that, the signal was hidden with special software. 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 forces behind her that are forcing her to do so. There's someone who's keeping watch of her," Luke said. It did not seem like a coincidence that Amur cback yesterday and they received an anonymous call the next 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 be by 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 a man, 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 himself from 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 Nina grapes, they looked at each other.
True friendship never went away. Even though Luca had changed her identity, Nina quickly accepted her.
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.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLuca 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 schicken soup for you tonight, okay?" she said.
"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 documents to translate. She stood up and said, "I'll cback later."
"Mm, you don't have to worry about me. Go." Nina nodded. Her mood significantly improved after she spent stwith Luca.
Luca and Luke left.
Percy walked over and got close to the hospital bed. When he saw Nina half-lying, he frowned and asked, "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 mood sank as he hung up the call.
Nina noticed what he did and that his expression becworse after seeing the caller ID. She asked cautiously, "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 at ease if he personally kept guard of her.
After these few days, he was deeply aware that he could not bear to lose Nina.
