Ch. 2901..2910
Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2901-"I really can't reason with someone so badly infatuated. If this continues, you won't even know it when these people deceive you. Besides, unless it's a celebrity, why would someone so good-looking cover every inch of their body when they go out? You should wise up. Perhaps he's so ugly that he needs to dress that way." The young man was irritated when he noticed the woman he liked kept looking at Luke.
“That's awful. Why would I choose to date someone as wicked as you? Forget it. Get lost." The woman found herself getting inexplicably angry at his words.
She just thought that Luke carried himself well. That was why she subconsciously thought he looked good, which was why she stared at him more and discussed him with her friends.
She did not expect the guy who came with her to say such things.
The woman quickly began to feel a sense of disgust toward the man.
"Fine. Don't regret it!" The man shot her a glare, then looked at Luke before he turned around and left.
"Do you think this might not be the best way to go about it?" Another woman who had been discussing Luke with her was startled for a moment.
"Is it really that difficult to acknowledge someone else's excellence? Look at the handsome man who's holding the child's hand. He has such a beautiful wife. How could he possibly be ugly?" The woman pouted her mouth. She was just telling the truth.
The other woman also noticed the man who was holding the child's hand and the beautiful woman beside him. She was exceptionally beautiful. They all looked harmonious as a family of five. She could not help but say enviously, "Yes, they're a happy family. I wish my boyfriend could be that handsome."
Luca overheard the conversation between the man and the woman and glanced helplessly at Luke.
Luke was wrapped up so tightly, yet he managed to stir up something like this...
She was reminded of Luke's admirers back then.
Sure enough, good-looking men, regardless of age or attire, were real heartthrobs.
Luke Crawford, as the person involved, seemed to ignore the discussions around him. He lifted Tommy and carried him in his arms.
Tommy cheered and clung to Luke's neck. His chubby face filled with pride. His father was handsome, and his mother was beautiful.
They were a happy family!
Luca and Luke, accompanied by the three children, followed the zoo's tour instructions and visited several parks. Then, Tommy complained that he was thirsty.
"There's a beverage stall over there. Shall we buy beverages there?" Luca saw a stall not far away and was about to head there to buy beverages for the kids, but Luke stopped her.
"I'll go. You sit with the kids for a while," said Luke. He slightly nodded and pointed at the bench not far away from them, telling them to take a seat and get some rest.
"Alright." Luca held Tommy's hand and led Lanie and Rainie to the bench.
Once they were seated, Tommy grinned and said, "Ms. Luca, let's take a picture later."
"Sure. I'll take one for all of you later." Luca smiled. She had already taken quite a few photos of the children and animals.
Luca planned to upload them all to a cloud storage when they went back. The kids could look at them whenever they wanted.
"Ms. Luca, let's take the picture together," corrected Tommy, noticing that Luca had only been taking shots of them. There were no photos of her with them.
"We should take a photo together when we're out having fun together, right, Lanie?" Tommy turned to look at Lanie.
"Yeah, you're right." Lanie nodded in agreement.
Luca understood what the kids were thinking. She nodded and agreed. "Alright. Let's find someone to help us take a group photo later."
"Alright!" Tommy nodded and watched as Luke carried a bag and headed back. He smiled and added, "Dad looks like a celebrity, huh? Many people are looking at him."
"Yes. Dad is the real star here!" exclaimed Rainie.
Luke carried the bag and walked toward them. After helping the kids unscrew the bottle caps and passing the bottles of water to them, he opened another bottle and handed it to Luca. "It's a bit stuffy today. Have some water."
"Thanks." Luca took it from him. The weather on Sunday was nice, and it was in the afternoon. That was why the temperature had risen quite a bit. She could feel a thin layer of sweat forming on her body after walking for a while.
Luca tilted her head and took several sips of water. After the dryness in her throat was relieved, she suggested to Luke, "Shall we ask someone to take a photo of us?"
"Sure." Luke had no objections.
He was not fond of taking photos, but there were exceptions, like when he was asked to take a photo with Luca. He was more than willing to do so.
Luca watched a young couple walk by and politely approached them with her camera. "Excuse me, could you spare a few minutes?"
The man's face reddened when he saw Luca. He nodded and replied, "Sure, what can I do for you?" The woman nudged him discreetly when she noticed the flush on the man's face. Even though she did not say anything, her expression turned sour.
Luca handed over the camera and asked with a smile on her face, "I'd like you to take a photo for us."
The man followed her gaze. He could not help but secretly think that it was a pity to see such a beautiful woman was already married with three children. He nodded and replied, "Sure. No problem."
The woman's expression improved slightly when she saw the man Luca pointed at. At least she was not single. Hence, she did not pose a threat to her.
Luca returned to where Luke was sitting. Rainie was seated beside her, while Lanie sat next to Luke. Tommy stood between them.
The camera shutter sounded. The man then glanced at the photo taken. He frowned and said to them, "Sir, do you mind taking off your mask?"
Taking a family photo with masks on seemed strange to him after he looked at the photo.
Luke heard him and removed his mask.
Even though he was still wearing a baseball cap, half of his face was revealed. The man heard the woman beside him let out a startled exclamation and turned around to look at her.
The woman awkwardly smiled. She did not expect the man to be so handsome. However, considering that her boyfriend might get jealous, she had to explain, "Such a lovely couple. Honey, they make a
perfect pair."
The man turned around and took another photo of them.
The man was handsome, the woman was beautiful, and their kids were adorable. Any candid shots would turn out stunning.
The man walked over and handed the camera to Luca. "Take a look."
Luca was pleased when she saw the group photo. She could tell that the man had some photography skills.
Luca thanked him, "Thank you."
"You're welcome.” The man smiled and walked away with his girlfriend.
Luke put his mask back on. When he took off his mask a moment ago, a few people had been looking at him. "How did the photo turn out?"
"It looks pretty good. Take a look." Luca wore a faint smile on her face and brought the camera closer to show him.
Tommy stood on his tiptoes and said, "Daddy, I want to see the photo too."
Luke held the camera and showed them the photo.
"It's nice. Ms. Luca looks beautiful." Tommy praised Luca.
"Yes, she's beautiful," Luke praised her with his resonant deep voice.
Luca's face reddened a little. She could not help but touch the tip of her nose, which had started to sweat a little.
Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2902-In this scenario, Luke was the most embarrassed.
Luca turned to look at him. Luke was wearing a mask and a baseball cap. She could not make out the expression on his face clearly.
However, Luca reckoned that the look on his face was not too good at the thought of how Luke had treated Mavis back then.
Before Mavis left T Corporation, Luke had always considered her as a capable subordinate and his right hand woman.
After Mavis left T Corporation, she was nothing.
Luca had a lot of faith in Luke.
Tommy smiled and glanced at Luca.
Luca nodded, affirming that the child's actions just now were not impolite.
Even adults would come up with excuses to ease awkward situations. It was the same for kids. Sometimes, their unreasonable behavior could help the adults to smooth out an uncomfortable moment.
"Let's go. There's a white tiger over there." Luca pointed at a spot not far away from them. As soon as she said that, there came the resonating roar of a tiger.
Tommy's eyes lit up. He grabbed his siblings' hands and walked forward.
Luke and Luca walked side by side behind the children, not too close but not too far from them. Their gazes were fixed on the kids.
Luke spoke when he noticed that Luca was not saying anything about the incident just now. "T Corporation might collaborate with the company Mavis is in after this."
"Hmm?" Luca did not expect him to suddenly bring up this kind of matter.
"Mavis' company is relatively strong in amusement park design. If T Corporation successfully secures the project, we might collaborate with her company," explained Luke.
Luca caught on and nodded. It all made sense.
She realized that Luke was even taking the time to explain it to her. He was worried that she might misunderstand.
Luca lowered her head, but her lips curved into a smile.
She would never misunderstand him.
Over the years, other than the impostor Bianca, who had only been around for a short time, there had not been any other women.
Moreover, according to the kids, Luke did not even share a room with the impostor Bianca due to her claimed health issues.
Furthermore, the face the imposter Bianca wore was hers. Even if Luke was captivated by her, Luca believed he was not in the wrong.
Besides, he had never actually touched the impostor Bianca...
"Are you upset?" Luke was much taller than Luca. With her head down, he could not see the curve of her lips.
"No. Why don't we go and take photos of the kids?" suggested Luca, pointing at the camera Luke hung on his shoulder. After they had taken a group photo earlier and the camera was handed back to them, Luke had been carrying it around. He did not want it to burden Luca.
Luke carefully sized her up before nodding. He quickly caught up to the children's pace and took many photos of them.
The zoo was big. After exploring all the different areas, it was already past five in the afternoon.
Perhaps Mavis intentionally avoided them, which was why they did not encounter her again.
The kids wanted to watch the marine show in the evening. Luke and Luca decided to have dinner at the park and then head to the performance.
After they came to the restaurant, Luca went to the washroom.
When Luca left the restroom, she bumped into Mavis, whom she had only met once at the entrance of the white tiger enclosure. She could not help but furrow her eyebrows.
After the incident at the white tiger enclosure, they had not seen Mavis. Now that Luca was alone in the restroom, she ran into her.
Luca did not want to pay any attention at first. She intended to walk past without acknowledging her, but what Mavis said made her halt her steps.
"You must be pretty proud of yourself, aren't you?" There was a touch of resentment in her tone.
Luca paused, turned around, and locked eyes with Mavis. Her delicate eyebrows furrowed.
"You must be really proud of yourself to be able to stand by Mr. Crawford's side. But let me warn you, don't get too cocky. You were never his resolute choice," warned Mavis, implying that Luca was just
someone he spent time with when he was bored.
"Ms. Laviere, are you envious? Jealous? Or is this a sincere attempt at warning me?" Luca was amused by what she said, and her lips curved into a smile.
She was not mocking Mavis, but she found what she said to be quite amusing.
"Don't get cocky!" Mavis took her smile as a challenge. "You're just a substitute, after all."
"I'm not getting cocky. I just find your words rather uninteresting. And as for whether I'm a substitute or not, I'm well aware of that. I don't need you to remind me," replied Luca, concealing her smile. She was surprised to find out that even the business elites, when clouded by jealousy, would behave shamefully.
Mavis felt like she was being looked down on. Hence, she clenched her fist tightly.
Mavis wanted to retort but found herself unable to. Setting aside the question of whether Luca qualified as a substitute, it was clear that Mavis lacked the qualifications to serve as a replacement herself.
Both of them loved Luke, but their affection and companionship could not compare to that woman who came from the Rayne family!
"Do you think you're in the clear because you've built a relationship with his kids? Do you think you can stay by his side forever? When that woman returns, you'll realize you're nothing. Luca, I'm telling you this out of kindness. Wake up and stop holding onto unrealistic fantasies.”
Luca frowned again, growing impatient with Mavis' words. "You're quite the talker."
After that, Luca walked away immediately.
Mavis' face turned red with anger. As she watched Luca leave from behind, she almost rushed toward her and gave her a slap in the face.
Everything she said was true. These were the real issues that would arise!
Would she still be able to feel proud of herself when Bianca returned?
Mavis could not figure out why Luke had chosen Luca. Luca and Bianca were completely different types of women.
Bianca was timid and easily frightened. She did not have the ability to deal with problems. She spoke in a soft, sweet tone, and she was especially good at playing the victim card to capture men's sympathy.
That was how Luke fell for the weak Bianca.
Then, there was Luca...
She was arrogant and domineering, with a bold personality. She was also strikingly beautiful. She was completely different from Bianca.
Mavis thought it was unfair. Why could it be Bianca or Luca but not her?
She was the woman who deserved to stand beside Luke!
The fire of anger in Mavis' heart grew stronger, but no one could soothe her anger now.
Luca returned to her seat without mentioning the incident at the restroom entrance. She enjoyed a sumptuous dinner with Luke and the children as if nothing had happened.
Luca did not pay any mind to what Mavis said to her.
It was because her true identity was Bianca, the one who used to be by Luke's side. It was her, and not someone else. Naturally, what Mavis said would not affect her.
Previously, when she was still Bianca, even if Luke had chosen her resolutely, she might have been bothered by what Mavis said.
However, she was Luca now.
Even though she did not have the same capabilities as Luke to lead T Corporation, she was not lacking either.
During those three years on the Island of Despair, her inner strength had grown significantly. She would not let herself feel upset and bewildered by Mavis' provocative words anymore.
She was growing up.
Men as outstanding as Luke would inevitably attract admiration from other women, but she knew he was not the type to easily accept someone else's affections.
Still, why did Luke choose her...
Luca had no idea, but she would not waste her time pondering over such questions.
Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2903-After having dinner at the restaurant, Luke and Luca took the kids to watch the marine show.
Once the performance ended, the family returned to their villa.
Before they even made it inside, Luke's phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID and said to Luca and the kids, "Go inside first."
"Okay." Luca noticed that something was wrong with Luke's expression. She held Tommy and Rainie's hands and said, "Let's go. It's late. We'll go upstairs to freshen up and go to bed."
"Alright, Ms. Luca." All three kids enjoyed their day today. They were quite content. Hence, they were obedient.
Once Luca and the kids were a distance away, Luke finally answered the call. "Speak."
"Boss, the people from the Island of Despair have found out about the hospital where Pierre Mallory is now. They've leaked the location to the media," said Gale.
Gale had just found out their move, but it was already too late. There were already a few reporters waiting at the private hospital now. It was likely that the police would be alerted before long.
"Are you sure it was the Island of Despair who leaked it?" Luke frowned.
"Yes, we traced the IP address of the tip-off. It originated from one of their bases," explained Gale.
One of the newspaper companies that received the tip-off was a subsidiary of the T Corporation, where Gale and Rain worked. Therefore, when the chief editor received the tip-off, they informed Gale about it.
Gale tracked the IP address and found that it was sent from an outpost of the Island of Despair in A City.
He did not know why the Island of Despair was careless this time, allowing their IP address to be easily traced. However, there was one thing certain—the Island of Despair did not just send the tip-off to their newspaper company.
Journalists from different newspaper publishers often shared their information. The chief editor received replies from at least three major local newspapers that had received the same tip-off.
"It won't be long before the police show up. There's not much we can do," replied Luke. The reporters had surrounded the private hospital. It would be impossible for the Mallory family to move Pierre even if they wanted to.
It was difficult for the hospital to cover it up too.
"I'll observe how the situation unfolds and then report back to you," said Gale. Before calling, he already knew that there was nothing they could do in this situation.
The instincts of media professionals were extremely sharp. The moment they received a tip-off, they would spring into action, and they were often faster than the police.
Gale also understood the layout of the private hospital. There was no way to secretly move Pierre out of the hospital.
"Okay." Luke lowered his gaze. After ending the call, he headed inside.
There was nothing he could do for Pierre at the moment.
What the Island of Despair did was a result of their displeasure with Pierre, as he had caused trouble and losses for them.
Whether it was the former leader of the Island of Despair or the current one, they were both vengeful people.
Rescuing Pierre had alerted the police. They did not gain any benefits from it and had even lost a significant amount of weaponry. This act of revenge stemmed from their frustration and was aimed at causing problems for the Mallory family.
Luca had taken the kids upstairs, leaving him alone in the living room, lost in thought.
It was possible that the Island of Despair had already figured out that it was Luke's men who rescued Pierre. If they were going after the Mallory family, they might turn around to target the Crawford family too.
Luke sent a message to Percy: [The Island of Despair is going after the Mallory family.]
After a little while, Percy replied: [I already know. They're digging their own grave.]
Luke remained expressionless. He was not sure what the Island of Despair was up to, but by targeting the Mallory family, they had once again fueled the Mallory family's hatred toward them. This actually worked in his favor.
Percy's relationship with the Mallory family was not so great now because of Nina's matter. That was why he could not easily mobilize a portion of his influence.
However, they had a common enemy with the Mallory family now, which would make their cooperation even closer.
Luke rose up to his feet and made his way up the stairs.
He figured that Luca was in the master bedroom's bathroom freshening up. Hence, he entered the opposite room and took a shower. Then, he changed into clean pajamas before heading to the master
bedroom.
Luca sat in front of the dressing table, drying her hair.
"Let me help you," said Luke. He approached her and took the dryer from her hand. He gently lifted her soft, long hair with his palm, using his hand as a comb to dry her hair.
Luca looked at the reflection of the two of them in the mirror.
Her lips unconsciously curved into a smile. It was not the first time Luke had helped her to dry her hair.
However, every time he did these thoughtful things on his own initiative, it touched her deeply.
Once her hair was dry, Luca applied some hair oil to it. Then, she turned around, sat on the dressing chair, and looked up at the tall, handsome man in front of her.
"Did something bad happen?" She could not ask Luke about it in front of the children, but it was just the two of them now.
"Yes, those people who kidnapped Pierre leaked his information to the media. Now all the major media companies in A City are at that private hospital." Luke did not hide anything from her. He knew that this had nothing to do with Luca.
Luca did not even ask which hospital Pierre was in.
As long as the Island of Despair diligently tracked the Mallory family members, they could easily find out which hospital Pierre was being treated at.
After Karen had Old Master Mallory's permission to go out, she had been going to the hospital to visit Pierre every day. Even though Old Master Mallory advised her not to visit the hospital so frequently to avoid being followed by the media, she did not listen to him.
Luca pictured that scene. With A City being the capital of the country and the headquarters of several well-known local newspaper companies located here, they must all be swarming around the hospital now...
Could Pierre still be secretly moved away? It was likely even the comings and goings of ambulances would be a problem.
Moreover, it was nighttime now...
"The police must know about it too..." said Luca. The police had not given up on finding Pierre.
"Yes." Luke nodded and lifted Luca up, carrying her in his arms.
"Ah!" Luca was taken aback by his sudden action and let out a soft cry. She instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck.
"I don't like it when you're thinking about other men." Luke felt her warmth. His gaze deepened, and his voice turned husky.
Luca's face reddened. She had been in love with him for so many years, and she understood this signal. Suddenly, her mouth felt dry and her throat parched.
She swallowed and looked into Luke's deep eyes. As his movements continued, her body was slowly pressed against the bed.
At that moment, a knocking sound echoed.
After two knocks, Tommy's voice came through. "Ms. Luca, are you in bed?"
Luke paused for a moment. Luca, who was beneath him, could not help but suppress a smile. The man's face was clouded over with displeasure, unsatisfied.
No one liked getting interrupted while they were trying to do something.
However, Luke had to endure it since it was their son.
Luca gave his shoulder a little push and said, "I'll go see what's going on."
Luke initially wanted to tell her not to bother, but Tommy called from outside again, "Dad? Ms. Luca?"
He had no choice but to get up, which allowed Luca to get up as well.
Luca rose to her feet with a smile on her face, staring at Luke's gloomy expression. Then, she said, "Let me see what's going on."a
Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2904-Luca pushed the door open and smiled as she looked at Tommy, who had knocked on the door. "Yes?"
"Ms. Luca, I can't sleep. Can you read a bedtime story for me?" asked Tommy as he lifted his head. He had too much fun during the daytime, and the fascinating marine show during the evening made him too wound up to fall asleep.
However, his usual bedtime routine reminded him that it was time to sleep. Otherwise, he would feel tired at school tomorrow.
After giving it some thought, Tommy went to find Luca, hoping that she could read him a bedtime story with her gentle voice. It could help him sleep peacefully.
Luca nodded and agreed. She glanced back at Luke, who was sitting on the bed with a face brimming with unfulfilled desires. She said, "Let me read a bedtime story for him first."
Luke slowly nodded. His expression was still gloomy, but he had no choice as it was his son's request.
After all, it was just a bedtime story. He could wait for her.
Luca smiled, held Tommy's hand, and walked toward his bedroom.
Once they entered his bedroom, she picked a new book and began reading.
Luca slowly narrated the story with her gentle voice. Tommy's excited mood gradually calmed, and his eyes were closing.
Half an hour later, Luca closed the book. As she listened to the rhythmic sound of the child's breathing, she tucked him in. Then, she rose to her feet and closed the door behind her.
Luca did not return to the master bedroom immediately. Instead, she went into Lanie and Rainie's bedroom to check on them. When she saw them asleep, she walked back to the master bedroom, feeling relieved.
Luke leaned against the bedside, reading his book. Half an hour had gone by, and he seemed to be in a better mood. Still, when Luca met his dark eyes, she knew that there was no way she could avoid him tonight.
"Are they asleep?" Luke stood up and walked toward Luca, wrapping his arms around her slender waist.
"Yes. They're asleep," answered Luca.
As the night deepened, a profound darkness settled in. The very air in the bedroom seemed to be gradually infused with a whisper of romantic intimacy....
On the other hand, the private hospital was surrounded by a swarm of reporters. If an ambulance were to come out from inside, a convoy of reporters' vehicles would surely follow.
Inside the hospital's director's office, Karen stood there with a cold expression on her face. "What kind of mess have you made? This won't work, and that won't work either. What do we need to do to get my son out of here?"
The director rushed to the hospital when he received the news. The hospital's management team, who were aware of the situation, were all present. They knew that they needed to get Pierre out of the hospital. However, every proposed plan had been rejected.
Even the plan of attempting to use an ambulance to draw the reporters' attention could not work, as it would certainly be discovered by the reporters. They definitely could not take a normal car.
Therefore, half an hour had passed since the news broke out, and Pierre was still in the hospital ward, unable to be transported.
The director felt helpless when he heard Karen questioning him. If he was not mistaken, the police would arrive soon.
If the police found Pierre in the hospital, the hospital would also be in trouble.
After all, Pierre's identity was sensitive at the moment. Even though he was not yet convicted, he remained a suspect in an economic crime.
The hospital would be suspected of hiding information and harboring a suspect of economic crimes.
"Madam Mallory, don't worry. We're trying to to find a solution," answered the director as he massaged his throbbing temples.
He had the tenacious Karen on one side, and on the other, the media and the cops.
Suddenly, he stood up and declared, "In any case, we must get Mr. Pierre out of here."
After Pierre's condition stabilized, the hospital director suggested that he be discharged and sent back to the Mallory manor for recuperation. However, the Mallory family was reluctant to do so, believing that staying in the hospital would lead to a better recovery for Pierre.
Unable to withstand the Mallory family's influence, he had no choice but to agree.
Now, the Mallory family was pressuring him again to find a solution. He felt overwhelmed, unable to come up with a good plan.
The management team of the hospital exchanged uneasy glances with each other. They were at a loss too. Using a normal car to transport him was out of the question, and an ambulance would not work
either. The number of reporters outside was greater than the number of ambulances they had...
A helicopter was also not an option. Even though it could get Pierre out, it would draw too much attention. The police would investigate later. If they found anything, the hospital would be in trouble.
"Director, Madam Mallory, maybe we should hide Mr. Pierre somewhere else," suggested one of the personnel in the management team.
The police were about to arrive. They would search the hospital. If the hospital firmly denied it, the police would not be able to find him. If they could not find him, all of them would be safe.
"Where?" asked Karen
The person who proposed the idea pondered for a moment. Then, he cautiously said, "Nowhere is safe to hide. The police will conduct a thorough search. The safest place might be the morgue."
"No way!" Karen immediately opposed it when she heard him mentioning the morgue. "That's where bodies are stored. Are you trying to jinx my son?"
Leaving Pierre in a place full of corpses was not just something she disagreed with. Even Pierre would be unwilling.
"But that's the least likely place for the police to search now," the man argued. He thought Pierre pretending to be a dead body there might be safer for him.
After all, the police would not search that thoroughly in the morgue.
"Or..."
The director thought this suggestion made sense and was about to persuade Karen when a voice of opposition rang out, "No way."
Karen turned around to see Percy standing at the doorway with a gloomy expression on his face. "How did you get in here?!"
With all the reporters outside, Percy being here would only confirm Pierre's presence here.
"I disguised myself. The reporters didn't know it was me," replied Percy. He had expected this. Not only did he not drive his own car, but he also went the extra mile to disguise himself.
That was why the reporters did not recognize him as Percy Mallory.
"You're not taking Pierre's life seriously by doing this," Karen disregarded what he said and accused him.
Percy seemed to ignore what Karen said. He walked toward the hospital director and said, "We can't hide him in the morgue. The police haven't arrived yet, but they're probably preparing a search warrant."
Once the search warrant was issued, even the morgue filled with bodies would be meticulously checked.
It was not that the police were targeting the Mallory family, but Pierre had escaped for a while now, and they were growing impatient. Moreover, with the ongoing media coverage, this incident would further infuriate the public. It would lead to increased police efforts.
If Percy guessed it correctly, there were undercover officers among the reporters outside.
As Percy said that, the hospital director and a few management personnel looked troubled at the same time.
In that case, it would be difficult to hide Pierre. No matter where they placed him, the police would likely find him.
After all, this was a hospital, not a private space with secret rooms that outsiders were unaware of.
"So, what shall we do?" The director ran out of ideas. Hence, he could only look at Pierre
He could not afford to offend the Mallory family.
As for the police, he could not afford to get on their bad side either. If public opinion got skewed against them, would the hospital still be able to treat patients?
In order to provide superior service to the wealthy, they hired professional doctors and nurses, which led to significant monthly expenses in terms of salaries. If this situation blew up, they would lose many patients, and the hospital would soon struggle to make ends meet...
Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2905-"We'll let the police look into it," said Percy as there was no other way to go about this.
They could have transferred Pierre if they had known earlier, but the Island of Despair did not give them that chance. Now that it was too late, none of their plans would work, and all their efforts would just be in vain.
“No!" That was the word Karen repeated the most tonight. Unlike her ladylike self, she stood up and fiercely stared at Percy, "Percy Mallory, how cruel could you be to send Pierre in there to suffer? I won't allow this!"
She reckoned that Percy was trying to send Pierre in there so that he could seize all of the Mallory family's assets with that woman.
Nina, that bitch! Who did she think she was to take away everything the Mallory family owned? She would never let this happen!
Percy's expression was icy cold, and he did not say a word when he met Karen's enraged face.
The director stood aside as he wiped off his sweat. He had heard that the Mallory family was not happy about Percy's wife, so the elders of the family favored Pierre now.
Thus, it was not a surprise that the Mallory family would be upset with what Percy said.
However, there was indeed no other way but to sit and wait for the police to look into it.
Karen snorted after Percy kept quiet. She did not care about outsiders witnessing the quarrel between mother and son. "Percy, you were the one who did this to Pierre, so you should be the one to be locked up! Go to the police station and turn yourself in for committing all of these crimes."
The director wondered what she meant by crimes.
Several of the high-ranking managers dropped their heads out of embarrassment. Although they were interested in gossip, they dared not gossip about the Mallory family.
They wished that they had ear plugs so they would not be able to hear the mother and son's conversation.
"Calm down." Percy was reminded of Karen's madness a few days ago after seeing her getting worked up.
It seemed like Karen was unable to calm down whenever Pierre was involved.
He had consulted a psychotherapist about her condition before, and the reason Karen was like this was that she could not accept the fact that she had failed in raising her children. When she failed to stop his marriage with Nina, she felt defeated.
Karen was the type to not be able to accept defeat, so when Percy and Nina got married, she mentally disowned Percy. She refused to believe that she had raised him, and she even thought that he was not her own. Thus, she pinned all her hopes on Pierre.
Therefore, when something happened to Pierre, Karen was unable to bear the hardship. She became insanely paranoid.
She was afraid of losing Pierre and admitting that she had failed in raising her children.
All of it could be traced back to the betrayal of Karen's husband, who was also Percy and Pierre's father.
“Calm down? How could you be so calm right now? Is Pierre not your brother? How could you treat him like this? How could you? Percy, how I wish you were the one who got kidnapped, had your leg broken,
and is wanted by the police!" When Karen was out of her mind, she did not care about the absurdity of her words.
The expression on Percy's face was grim. One should not wash one's dirty linen in public, but Karen was showing everyone all of the Mallory family's dirty linen.
Although he did not mind, Old Master Mallory cared most about the reputation of the Mallory family.
Percy could feel the veins in his forehead pulsing. Then, he looked at the director. "Can I borrow your office?"
"Yes, of course." The director understood what he meant. He nodded to several of the hospital managers before they all left together.
The door of the office closed. Percy stared at Karen, who was about to go crazy.
When Karen met his gaze, fear crept into her heart, but she thought that it was ridiculous for a mother to be afraid of her own son. She scolded him, "Do you think you can solve the problem by sending them away? Let me tell you something. If you let Pierre be taken away by those pigs, I'll never let you get away with it!"
By pigs, she meant police. It was an offensive term for policemen.
Percy frowned as she did not care about anything when she was insane.
"Grandpa has dealt with most of Pierre's matters. Even if the police take him away, nothing will happen to him," said Percy. Old Master Mallory had been contacting people day and night to take care of all of Pierre's affairs.
His illegal doings had been mostly covered up too, so if the police took Pierre away, he would not be locked up for long. At most, he would be given a warning and a fine.
It was impossible for Pierre to get away with zero punishment after everything he did.
He should at least learn his lesson.
Seemingly, his lesson was criticism and punishment from the relevant departments. In private, however, his lesson was his broken leg.
Karen's eyes turned red as she listened to his words. She would not accept it. Subconsciously, she knew that if Pierre was locked up, Percy would win.
As a mother, she had to protect what belonged to her younger son.
"Pierre can't be taken away. If they take him away, he'll be tortured to death. You! You'll torture him together with Luke, and I won't let that happen!" Karen did not believe that Luke saved Pierre at all.
She only believed what she chose to believe and what she heard from Pierre.
Luke's people even made Pierre's injury worse.
Percy looked at Karen, who was as stubborn as a mule. His head ached even worse. How he wished the director could give her a sedative.
There was a knock on the door.
Percy and Karen looked at the door simultaneously.
The director's voice sounded from outside. “Mrs. Mallory and Mr. Mallory, the police are here."
Karen's eyes widened as her pupils constricted. She pointed to Percy's nose and scolded, "You did it on purpose! You must have informed the media. You just can't stand seeing Pierre happy, can you? Look at you stalling for time!"
Percy stood up and gazed down at her condescendingly. "Now is not the time for you to go crazy! If you don't want anything to happen to Pierre, just act like nothing happened and leave with me."
He came to take Karen away.
"I'm not going!" Karen refused. She even wanted to shout at the policemen outside.
"Are you trying to drag the Mallory family down?" Percy's gaze was somber. If the police saw Karen here, so would the reporters.
Pierre would definitely be affected.
Karen was taken aback, and her eyes grew redder.
"Come in," Percy said to the person at the door.
The director gently opened the door and walked in. The soundproofing in his office was not the best, so even though he was standing outside with the door closed, he could still hear their conversation clearly.
He heard that Karen's mental state was in poor condition, but after eavesdropping outside, he clicked his tongue. She was not only in poor condition, but she was about to go insane...
"Mr. Mallory? The security downstairs said that the police are already on it," the director said carefully. The police's job was to investigate every department.
"Give Mrs. Mallory a sedative," said Percy.
"Huh?" The director's eyes widened, thinking he had heard wrong. novelbin
Mrs. Mallory bit her lower lip and said, "I refuse."
"If you don't, can you leave calmly? If anything happens to the Mallory family, don't even think about bailing your precious son." Percy looked at her as if he was warning her.
Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle 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 how much 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 who would 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 the parking 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 as he 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 leg treated 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 it won'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 who was 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 would find 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 an ID 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, and the lights in the car were not turned on either, so it was pretty dark. Not to mention, Percy was wearing a 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 the person 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't bring 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 at all the equipment behind. I didn't get much, though. I heard that the police were here, and my colleagues 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 finding anything 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 near the 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's threatening 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," said Karen after he did not give her an answer.
She did not want to go back and listen to the old master's criticism.
Besides, if he saw that Percy sent her back, he would know that she went to the hospital. Plus, Percy would 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 the Mallory family's money, so it's also property of the Mallory family. She's just an outsider living there. I'm the real owner."
Percy frowned as he had bought the house with his own money, so it did not belong to the Mallory family.
However, telling Karen all of this was useless as she only believed what she chose to believe. She would 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. If you don't bail him out, I'll report to them that you were the one who hid Pierre in the hospital," Karen threatened 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 knew what 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's arrangements 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 so fearless.
Percy knew that since he was a child. However, he carried a heavy burden on his shoulders, so he needed 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. He wanted 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 not replied, Karen emphasized again.
"I know." Percy's voice was stiff. When they stopped at a red light, he sent Nina a message so that she could mentally prepare herself.
Karen was not easy to deal with.
Tonight, the one who had to suffer was not Pierre but Nina.
Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2907-After Nina received a message from Percy, she quickly cleaned up a guest bedroom in the villa and laid out the beddings and blanket. She also prepared a new set of toiletries.
Then, she nervously waited for Percy and Karen in the living room.
She knew that Percy had gone to the hospital to deal with Pierre's matters, but she did not expect him to bring Karen back.
Something must have happened.
Nina grew anxious when it crossed her mind. She knew that Karen did not like her. Their previous meetings had always ended on a sour note. Facing her gave Nina a lot of pressure.
However, Karen was Percy's mother, after all. There was no way she could refuse to meet her and get along with her.
The moment she chose to marry Percy, she had chosen to stand by his side. No matter how difficult the Mallory family's matters were, she was determined to face them together.
In marriage, it was not about the husband carrying the load alone, but it was about sharing the burden together.
As Nina thought Karen might intentionally nitpick and make things difficult later, she quickly went to the kitchen to prepare some flower tea, coffee, and freshly squeezed juice.
She would rather make extra preparations than face Karen's criticism.
With everything ready, she sat on the sofa for a while. Then, she heard noises coming from outside.
Percy had returned.
Nina immediately stood at the entrance and watched as Percy walked in, accompanied by Karen. Her heart skipped a beat at the sight of Karen.
After Karen saw her, her expression was filled with disgust. She secretly let out a cold snort after she heard Nina say, “Good evening, Madam Mallory."
When she heard Nina address her as Madam Mallory, Karen was startled for a moment. However, she immediately thought that it was acceptable.
Even though Nina and Percy had a legally recognized marital relationship, what could be done with that? The Mallory family did not acknowledge their marriage. What difference did it make even if their marriage held legal status?
If Percy compromised with the Mallory family in the future, the couple would get a divorce!
Percy could not help but frown slightly when he heard Nina addressing her as Madam Mallory, but then he realized that if Nina called Karen Mom, Karen would not acknowledge it either.
Hence, it was better to address her as Madam Mallory without trying to please her.
Percy did not marry Nina to make her please the Mallory family. Besides, there was no need for the woman he loved to appease the Mallory family.
Their disapproval would not affect their marital relationship.
Nina did not feel embarrassed when Karen remained silent. She was already mentally prepared to be put through the wringer.
Moreover, it was even better if Karen did not speak. Nina was only being ignored, without having to endure any unnecessary difficulties. She took out a pair of new disposable slippers and placed them on the floor.
Karen looked at her with arrogance. She got out of her shoes expressionlessly, then put on the slippers.
Percy's brows furrowed even more. After he changed his shoes, he took Nina's hand and asked, “Why aren't you in bed at this hour?"
He informed Nina because he wanted her to be mentally prepared that Karen would be coming, not to serve her.
Nina smiled and replied, "I can only sleep peacefully when you're back."
Then, her gaze fell on Karen again. "Madam Mallory, would you like something to drink? We have fresh juice, flower tea, and coffee at home."
Karen let out a cold snort and answered, "I always have a glass of milk before going to bed."
Milk? Nina was not prepared for this. Fortunately, the part-time maid would always prepare a variety of ingredients in the fridge, including milk. She replied, "Sure. Please take a seat and give me a moment."
Then, Nina walked toward the kitchen. She heard Karen say, "I don't like it too cold or too hot. I only drink milk that's heated to 40 degrees. An increase or decrease of just one degree is a no for me."
Nina's steps faltered for a moment. She was well aware of this blatant provocation. She turned around and replied, "Alright. Just a second."
Then, Nina met Percy's disapproving gaze. She gently shook her head to reassure him that everything was fine. novelbin
After Nina walked into the kitchen, Percy gave Karen a warning look. "If you want to stay here peacefully tonight, be quiet and stop causing trouble for others."
Karen, feeling indignant at his defense for Nina, could not hold back her anger.
How did this woman with an average appearance bewitch Percy into defending her like this?
There were so many women with better figures and prettier faces, yet Percy did not spare them a glance.
Karen clenched her fists tightly and sneered. "What's the matter? Now that you have that wretched woman, have you forgotten that I'm your mother? Those who don't know about this must think that I'm so mean to you that you partnered with an ordinary woman to go against your own biological mother."
No matter what, she was Percy's mother. It was an unchangeable fact even if he rebelled against his family.
Percy's eyes turned cold and emotionless as he warned her, "If you want to act up, then go back to Mallory Manor." "What makes you think you can kick me out? Percy, I'm staying here tonight! If you dare to kick me out, I'll expose your secrets to the police and the media," declared Karen as she sat firmly on the couch. She did not back down even after hearing Percy's warning.
Karen was his mother. She refused to believe that she could not control him!
Nina walked back into the living room with a glass of warm milk in her hands and overheard what Karen said. Her heart skipped a beat. She pursed her lips, handed the milk to Karen, and said, "Madam Mallory, here's your milk. It's been heated to 40 degrees."
She had taken extra care to measure the temperature, trying to avoid any potential nitpicking from Karen.
The milk was heated to 40 degrees, not a degree more and not a degree less.
Karen let out a cold snort when she saw the glass of milk. She refused to take it. “I'm not drinking that.” Nina was taken aback.
Percy's expression grew even darker. His thin lips almost formed a straight line. He was on the brink of exploding.
Nina subtly shook her head at him, signaling him not to lose his temper to prevent things escalating.
At the same time, she could not help but worry. She thought to herself, ‘Did Percy's mother uncover some of his secrets?'
Otherwise, why would she threaten him that she would inform the police and the media?
Percy was unable to contain himself any longer. He issued another warning, "Mother..."
Karen rolled her eyes. Her legs were crossed elegantly, maintaining the posture of a sophisticated lady. However, her words were dripping with malice. "Who knows if she has added anything into the milk? It's better to avoid anything offered by such a person."
Nina's temples throbbed. She knew Karen was doing this on purpose, and she found it increasingly hard to suppress her emotions.
Still, she was Percy's mother, and Nina had to endure it. She married Percy knowing that she would not have the approval or blessings of the Mallory family. Hence, she had mentally prepared herself for this.
"It's getting late. How about getting some rest?" Nina knew that no matter what she offered, Karen would not eat or drink it. That was why she suggested this instead. At least Karen would stop giving her a hard time once she fell asleep. "The guest bedroom is all set up for you. I've prepared a new set of toiletries as well as new clothes."
Even though she was aware that Karen and the Old Master Mallory did not like her, she prepared all of this at home just in case.
She did not expect it to come in handy today.
The toiletries and clothes she had prepared were in line with Karen's usual standards of living. Nina believed that even if Karen wanted to be picky, there would not be much to find fault with.
Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2908-Karen furrowed her brows. She was about to give Nina a hard time, but then she heard Percy say, "I can send you back to Mallory Manor now if you're not going to bed."
Karen frowned, about to explode in anger. Then, she heard him continue, "You went to the hospital to visit Pierre without informing Grandpa. You almost caused a disaster. Let him handle the rest."
Karen understood what he meant. She gave a cold snort and said, "Stop threatening me."
Then, she rose to her feet with her chin slightly lifted. She looked at Nina with an arrogant look on her face. "Take me upstairs."
Nina glanced at Percy. Then, she turned around and led Karen upstairs.
When they reached the door of the guest room, Nina stepped aside and said, "Madam Mallory, this is your room."
Karen let out another cold snort and pushed the door open with her fingertips. She did not even want to touch the doorknob, as if it was dirty.
Nina noticed her disdainful behavior but chose not to comment. At first, she wanted to tell her that the entire villa was regularly cleaned, but she held her tongue.
It was not the cleanliness of the room that Karen disapproved of; it was Nina she was finding fault with.
If she were not Percy's birth mother, Nina would surely have taken action.
Karen looked at the room's furnishings and snorted in dissatisfaction. "I sleep on a Hastens Vividus mattress, and I only use silk bedding."
"The mattress' brand is Hastens Vividus, and the four-piece set is produced abroad by Beverly Hills Polo Club," answered Nina calmly. Everything prepared for the guest room was of the highest standard. The things here were even more expensive than the things in the master bedroom.
Neither she nor Percy cared about these luxurious things as long as they slept comfortably.
A hint of darkness flashed across Karen's eyes when she heard this. She walked into the room to check. Indeed, everything was as Nina told her.
Moreover, they were all authentic, not knock-offs. The brands were the same as the ones in Mallory Manor.
Karen could not help but wonder how Nina had prepared all of this. Could these things have been prepared in advance?
"These are all new, Madam Mallory. We just sent them for dry cleaning once after purchasing," added Nina. She stood at the entrance without entering the room.
She refused to give Karen any opportunity to find fault with her.
Nina was not foolish.
Karen let out another cold snort. She did not have much of a reaction to Nina's preparations, except that she thought Nina was scheming to please her by preparing all of this in advance.
She walked into the bathroom and saw the new toiletries and shower gel Nina mentioned earlier. They were all her preferred brands.
Karen's eyes darkened even further. "These are what I typically use."
"I'm glad you're satisfied with them." Nina was not expecting a compliment from her. She did not let it go to her head, and her tone remained calm with a touch of indifference.
"Yes. The whole world knows how scheming you are. Only Percy seems to be completely under your spell. You must be feeling pretty proud, huh?" Karen's tone was filled with resentment.
She wished she could tear Nina apart. If this woman did not exist, Percy would still be her obedient son. He would not go against the entire Mallory family for a woman.
Percy's current behavior made Karen feel like she had failed in raising her children.
No, it was not her failure. She never really had a chance to raise him for long. It was Old Master Mallory who nurtured him...
In just an instant, Karen shifted all the blame to Old Master Mallory. It was just like what her therapist had told her.
"Madam Mallory, get some rest," said Nina. She lowered her gaze, not showing any reaction to Karen's provocative remarks.
"Hah, I hit the nail on the head, didn't I? Are you feeling guilty now?" Karen noticed Nina's silence. She was different from the way she used to be. Karen thought Nina was putting on an act earlier because Percy was there. It further fuelled her belief that Nina was feeling guilty.
"Time to go to bed." Percy's voice came from behind.
Nina turned around and glanced at him. Her eyes lit up as though she had found a lifeline. Then, she said, "Madam Mallory, it's getting late. You should rest." novelbin
With that, she hurried toward Pierre and entered the master bedroom with him.
"Get real. She's such a phony." Karen's voice came from behind.
Neither of them paid any attention to her. They closed the master bedroom door behind them. Percy even locked it.
"Are you okay?" Nina finally showed her concern.
"She'll continue to nitpick at you if you stay there." Percy stroked her face. He felt sorry for Nina. He should not have brought Karen back home and upset her.
"Well, it's not a big problem. I prepared everything according to her usual preferences. She won't be able to find any faults." Nina chuckled, reassuring Percy not to worry about it.
Even if Karen tried to bring her down, Nina was confident now. She was not afraid of her provocations.
Percy smiled. He recalled that Nina had prepared all of them when they first moved into the villa.
At that time, he thought it was not necessary since Karen would not be staying with them. However, he realized that what Nina did made sense now.
Fortunately, they had made these preparations. Otherwise, Karen would have made the entire night unbearable for everyone.
"You prepared well," said Percy. His brows furrowed again at the thought of the mistreatment Nina endured while dealing with Karen.
"Hey, it's getting late." Nina raised her hand to gently smooth out his furrowed brows. Then, she suddenly remembered about the hospital incident and asked, "Do you need to deal with the matters at the hospital?"
She did not want to mention Pierre's name. Hence, she used those words as a substitute.
"Not tonight." Percy shook his head. It was not the right time to handle it now.
Nina nodded. That was great. The peace of the evening had already been shattered by Karen. Nina did not want another episode involving Pierre to ruin her night.
Both mother and son were not easy to deal with, but Percy was the one who kept getting the short end of the stick.
"Go freshen up," added Percy. He took out Nina's favorite pajamas from the closet and urged her to go wash up.
Nina nodded and took the pajamas from him. Then, she headed to the bathroom.
Meanwhile, Percy sat on the nearby sofa, holding his phone and looking into Pierre's situation.
The hospital director watched Percy and Karen leave. He pretended that he knew nothing when he faced the police. He claimed that he had no idea about the patient's condition in the hospital.
After all, he was the hospital director. He usually handled many matters related to the hospital, and he could not possibly keep tabs on every patient's status at all times.
Hence, even though the police were dissatisfied, there was nothing they could say. They began to conduct checks in various areas. At the same time, they found a hospital technician to retrieve the patient records from the hospital.
After sifting through the records, one of the police officers said with a stern expression on his face, "This one. Did you know the suspect was admitted to the hospital?"
The technician's face turned pale, and he nervously replied, "I'm just a technician. I have nothing to do with the admission or treatment of patients."
The police officer knew he was not involved in that aspect. He glanced at the records and said, "Let's go. Show us the way."
"Where to?" asked the technician, feeling lost.
The police officer pointed at the computer screen with his finger. "Wherever this patient's ward is. That's where you're taking us."
The technician shot a glance at the hospital director, who nodded. He had no choice but to lead the police to Pierre's ward.
Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2909-The hospital director wore a gloomy expression as he followed behind the police officers.
The technician led them to the floor of the VIP wards, drawing the attention of many as they passed by the wards.
When they reached the door of Pierre's ward, the technician turned to the police and said, "This is the ward he was registered in."
"Open the door," instructed one of the police officers with a cold and unfriendly look on his face.
Ever since Pierre had gone on the run and disappeared, they had put in a lot of effort to find him. However, they had not found any leads. Their superiors had become increasingly dissatisfied with their efficiency. They had handed down the task documents numerous times both openly and behind the scenes.
Still, Pierre was nowhere to be found.
They would not have found their way here if it were not for an anonymous tip-off email!
The technician immediately pushed the door open when he heard that.
The police officers entered the ward. The lead officer glanced at the man lying on the hospital bed. After a quick comparison with a photo of Pierre, he said, "It's him. Take him into custody."
Pierre had a grim expression as he looked at the police officers who stood in the spacious ward. He knew what was going on without having to ask.
However, he was unaware of the anonymous tip-off email. Neither Old Master Mallory nor Karen had informed him.
"I'm a patient now. Where are you taking me?" Pierre did not struggle because of the cast on his leg. He realized it would be futile.
As he watched the police officers approach him with a handcuff, his eyes darkened, but there was nothing he could do at this moment.
"We have our own detention ward at the police station, Mr. Pierre. You are suspected of illegal financing and bribery. Please cooperate with our investigation," said the police officers. They intended to handcuff Pierre, but noticing the IV drip on his arm, they turned around to look at the hospital director. He was at the back of the group. "Could you please come and remove the needle?"
The hospital director was being watched by the police officers. He had no choice but to step forward. He removed the needle in front of everyone and under Pierre's cold stare.
After pressing the spot for a few seconds, he let go and stepped back. "Take him away," said the police officers.
A few of them helped Pierre out of bed and got him onto a wheelchair. Even though Pierre's legs were injured, they securely fastened his hands to the wheelchair as a precaution.
The cold handcuffs touched the skin of Pierre's wrists. His face grew even darker.
A police officer began pushing the wheelchair.
Sunny, who was holding a bottle of saline solution in her hands, was slightly surprised when she saw the scene. She instinctively turned to the hospital director and said, “Sir."
The hospital director shook his head and said, "It's none of your business. Go back to work."
Sunny felt an inexplicable thrill when she saw Pierre being handcuffed. She could actually witness this scene!
Honestly, she hoped more than anyone that Pierre would face the consequences of the law. If it were not for the fact that the hospital's director was her relative, she would have reported him secretly.
Unexpectedly, fate had its way. Someone discovered that Pierre was right here in this hospital even though Sunny did not report it.
Sunny stood there, thinking about the harassment she had endured from Pierre's gaze over the past few days. She stared intently at his handcuffs, secretly hoping they would stay on for a long time.
With Pierre being arrested by the police, she would no longer have to work night shifts every day and endure his advances...
Sunny's heart leaped with joy, and she secretly exclaimed, 'That's awesome!'
Sunny was secretly rejoicing in her heart when Pierre got arrested, while the hospital director wore a troubled expression. Even though Pierre said that a doctor would take the blame for all the charges, the hospital director could not help but feel uneasy.
What if the doctor changed his mind...?
What if this whole thing was not handled properly? It could have a really negative impact on the hospital.
As the hospital director watched the police escort Pierre away, he thought that it seemed like he would not be leaving the office anytime soon. He would have to summon the PR department staff for a meeting.
When they reached the first floor in the elevator, Pierre suddenly said, "I'd like my face covered." novelbin
The two police officers exchanged glances with each other. They were initially going to explain that their police car was parked in the underground lot and that reporters would not catch anything.
Eventually, they did not say anything and placed a hood over his head.
Pierre was taken straight to the detention ward in Central Hospital. The orthopedic doctor on duty received the medical records transferred by the police and examined Pierre. After checking on him and learning that Pierre was fine, the police placed him in the detention ward.
"I'd like to see my lawyer," said Pierre as soon as the orthopedic doctor left.
It was unlikely that the Mallory family did not know the police were looking for him, but they had not taken any action at the moment. He needed to consult a lawyer to understand what was going on.
"It's too late now. Get some rest. We can arrange for a lawyer tomorrow," replied the police officer, refusing to interrogate Pierre at this hour.
Pierre's face darkened.
After a while, a nurse entered with a tray and said to the police officer, "Dr. Fields prescribed this saline solution. I need to give it to the patient now."
Dr. Fields was the orthopedic doctor on duty who had examined Pierre earlier.
"Okay," replied the police officer who sat in a chair nearby, watching the nurse give Pierre the injection.
Other than confirming Pierre's name, the nurse did not engage in any further conversation.
After that, she said, "Remember to press the call button if you run out of IV fluid later."
She said this to the guarding police officer. The detention ward did not have nursing staff. Thus, all matters fell under the responsibility of the officer on duty.
"Okay." The police officer nodded.
After the nurse left, Pierre shifted slightly to find a more comfortable position. Then, he looked up at the liquid slowly entering his body through the bottle. His eyes deepened.
Finally, he looked at the police officer sitting there.
Even though there were no other people there, the police officer sat upright, his gaze locked onto Pierre's eyes with unwavering determination.
Pierre remained silent, and so did the police officer.
They continued to look at each other, sizing each other up. In the end, Pierre broke the silence with a question, "How did you guys know I was in that hospital?"
He was eager to know who the hell ratted him out.
The police officer remained silent.
Pierre added, "Cat got your tongue?"
"Mr. Pierre, if you have something to say, let's wait until tomorrow." The police officer had no intention of revealing their investigative process to him.
His superiors had told him that Pierre was not an easy person to deal with. He had to be cautious and meticulous in his mission.
The police officer even thought that if it were not for Pierre's broken leg, they might not have successfully arrested him this time.
Pierre rolled his eyes. He decided to lay flat and not say anything more.
A night passed.
After Old Master Mallory woke up, he first glanced at the newspaper.
As he expected, last night's police operation to arrest Pierre had made headlines.
Old Master Mallory wore a cold expression on his face. Although the photos used by the journalists did not capture Pierre's figure, police officers were seen at the hospital's entrance. The departure of police cars was also captured. These photos were prominently displayed in the newspapers.
Mr. Bennet also knew about it. He carefully handed a cup of tea to Old Master Mallory when he noticed his gloomy expression.
The old master had learned about the situation last night, but it was not convenient for the Mallory family to intervene at this time. They had to clean up Pierre's situation well. Therefore, the old master
took some sleeping pills and went to sleep last night.
Twins In Her Womb: Sir President Please Be Gentle Chapter 2910-The hospital director wore a gloomy expression as he followed behind the police officers.
The technician led them to the floor of the VIP wards, drawing the attention of many as they passed by the wards.
When they reached the door of Pierre's ward, the technician turned to the police and said, "This is the ward he was registered in."
"Open the door," instructed one of the police officers with a cold and unfriendly look on his face.
Ever since Pierre had gone on the run and disappeared, they had put in a lot of effort to find him. However, they had not found any leads. Their superiors had become increasingly dissatisfied with their efficiency. They had handed down the task documents numerous times both openly and behind the scenes.
Still, Pierre was nowhere to be found.
They would not have found their way here if it were not for an anonymous tip-off email!
The technician immediately pushed the door open when he heard that.
The police officers entered the ward. The lead officer glanced at the man lying on the hospital bed. After a quick comparison with a photo of Pierre, he said, "It's him. Take him into custody."
Pierre had a grim expression as he looked at the police officers who stood in the spacious ward. He knew what was going on without having to ask.
However, he was unaware of the anonymous tip-off email. Neither Old Master Mallory nor Karen had informed him.
"I'm a patient now. Where are you taking me?" Pierre did not struggle because of the cast on his leg. He realized it would be futile.
As he watched the police officers approach him with a handcuff, his eyes darkened, but there was nothing he could do at this moment.
"We have our own detention ward at the police station, Mr. Pierre. You are suspected of illegal financing and bribery. Please cooperate with our investigation," said the police officers. They intended to handcuff Pierre, but noticing the IV drip on his arm, they turned around to look at the hospital director. He was at the back of the group. "Could you please come and remove the needle?"
The hospital director was being watched by the police officers. He had no choice but to step forward. He removed the needle in front of everyone and under Pierre's cold stare.
After pressing the spot for a few seconds, he let go and stepped back. "Take him away," said the police officers.
A few of them helped Pierre out of bed and got him onto a wheelchair. Even though Pierre's legs were injured, they securely fastened his hands to the wheelchair as a precaution.
The cold handcuffs touched the skin of Pierre's wrists. His face grew even darker.
A police officer began pushing the wheelchair.
Sunny, who was holding a bottle of saline solution in her hands, was slightly surprised when she saw the scene. She instinctively turned to the hospital director and said, “Sir."
The hospital director shook his head and said, "It's none of your business. Go back to work."
Sunny felt an inexplicable thrill when she saw Pierre being handcuffed. She could actually witness this scene!
Honestly, she hoped more than anyone that Pierre would face the consequences of the law. If it were not for the fact that the hospital's director was her relative, she would have reported him secretly.
Unexpectedly, fate had its way. Someone discovered that Pierre was right here in this hospital even though Sunny did not report it.
Sunny stood there, thinking about the harassment she had endured from Pierre's gaze over the past few days. She stared intently at his handcuffs, secretly hoping they would stay on for a long time.
With Pierre being arrested by the police, she would no longer have to work night shifts every day and endure his advances...
Sunny's heart leaped with joy, and she secretly exclaimed, 'That's awesome!'
Sunny was secretly rejoicing in her heart when Pierre got arrested, while the hospital director wore a troubled expression. Even though Pierre said that a doctor would take the blame for all the charges, the hospital director could not help but feel uneasy.
What if the doctor changed his mind...?
What if this whole thing was not handled properly? It could have a really negative impact on the hospital.
As the hospital director watched the police escort Pierre away, he thought that it seemed like he would not be leaving the office anytime soon. He would have to summon the PR department staff for a meeting.
When they reached the first floor in the elevator, Pierre suddenly said, "I'd like my face covered."
The two police officers exchanged glances with each other. They were initially going to explain that their police car was parked in the underground lot and that reporters would not catch anything.
Eventually, they did not say anything and placed a hood over his head.
Pierre was taken straight to the detention ward in Central Hospital. The orthopedic doctor on duty received the medical records transferred by the police and examined Pierre. After checking on him and learning that Pierre was fine, the police placed him in the detention ward.
"I'd like to see my lawyer," said Pierre as soon as the orthopedic doctor left.
It was unlikely that the Mallory family did not know the police were looking for him, but they had not taken any action at the moment. He needed to consult a lawyer to understand what was going on.
"It's too late now. Get some rest. We can arrange for a lawyer tomorrow," replied the police officer, refusing to interrogate Pierre at this hour.
Pierre's face darkened.
After a while, a nurse entered with a tray and said to the police officer, "Dr. Fields prescribed this saline solution. I need to give it to the patient now."
Dr. Fields was the orthopedic doctor on duty who had examined Pierre earlier.
"Okay," replied the police officer who sat in a chair nearby, watching the nurse give Pierre the injection.
Other than confirming Pierre's name, the nurse did not engage in any further conversation.
After that, she said, "Remember to press the call button if you run out of IV fluid later."
She said this to the guarding police officer. The detention ward did not have nursing staff. Thus, all matters fell under the responsibility of the officer on duty.
"Okay." The police officer nodded.
After the nurse left, Pierre shifted slightly to find a more comfortable position. Then, he looked up at the liquid slowly entering his body through the bottle. His eyes deepened.
Finally, he looked at the police officer sitting there.
Even though there were no other people there, the police officer sat upright, his gaze locked onto Pierre's eyes with unwavering determination.
Pierre remained silent, and so did the police officer.
They continued to look at each other, sizing each other up. In the end, Pierre broke the silence with a question, "How did you guys know I was in that hospital?"
He was eager to know who the hell ratted him out.
The police officer remained silent.
Pierre added, "Cat got your tongue?"
"Mr. Pierre, if you have something to say, let's wait until tomorrow." The police officer had no intention of revealing their investigative process to him.
His superiors had told him that Pierre was not an easy person to deal with. He had to be cautious and meticulous in his mission.
The police officer even thought that if it were not for Pierre's broken leg, they might not have successfully arrested him this time.
Pierre rolled his eyes. He decided to lay flat and not say anything more.
A night passed.
After Old Master Mallory woke up, he first glanced at the newspaper.
As he expected, last night's police operation to arrest Pierre had made headlines.
Old Master Mallory wore a cold expression on his face. Although the photos used by the journalists did not capture Pierre's figure, police officers were seen at the hospital's entrance. The departure of police cars was also captured. These photos were prominently displayed in the newspapers.
