Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1617

The maid hurriedly came to open the door after a while.

Percy held his phone and tried to ask the maid not to open the door. The door was still opened in the end. He sat in the car and put his phone back into his pocket.

Maybe he should have told her that he was still staying in the villa they used to stay in.

He dismissed the servants at the villa after she insisted on leaving. There was only one maid left there who was responsible for occasionally cleaning the house.

Percy sat in the car and listened to the conversation between Nina and his maid.

“Hello, your young master is in the car. He’s drunk, and his legs are not working now. Please come over and help him into the house.” Nina did not forget to taunt him when she was talking to the maid.

Percy wanted to show her that he could walk, but she had a soft rather than hard temperament. It was better for him to pretend to be weak now.

The maid shot a glance at the person in the car. It was indeed her young master. She walked over and hurriedly pushed the door open.

"Young Master, are you alright?" The maid thought he was drunk and he fell, that was why he could not walk. She touched his legs.

Percy gnashed his teeth and said, “I’m fine.”

"Uh…" The maid watched him get out of the car unhappily. He stood there. Apart from his hand that was placed on the car door to support him, his legs were working fine.

“He’ll fall after taking two steps. You’d better help him. Otherwise, the news of the young master of the Mallory family getting drunk and breaking his leg on the street will be on the front page of the newspapers tomorrow.” Nina took a few steps back as she said that.

Percy glared at her. Would she still say something like that if he really broke his leg?

The maid immediately held onto Percy once she heard that. She dared not to let go as she was afraid that he might fall if she did not pay attention. She might lose her job too.

Nina chuckled as she watched the maid follow Percy closely step by step. She closed the door of the passenger seat and got into the driver's seat. Then, she hit the accelerator and drove away.

She dashed off without staying for even another second.

Percy stopped and turned to look in the direction that she left.

The maid stopped walking too and was puzzled. “Young Master?”

Percy shook her hands off him right away. “Don’t hold onto me.”

The maid could smell the alcohol on him, but he did not look like he was drunk based on the situation now.

"Oh, alright." She moved her hands away stiffly. Then, she consciously maintained a certain distance from him.

Percy watched as Nina’s car disappeared from his sight. He turned around and ordered the maid, “Tell Pierre to come here tomorrow.”

"Second Young Master? Alright." The maid was wondering why Percy could not inform his brother himself and ordered her to do it instead. However, it would be unwise to ask about it. She would just follow her boss' instructions.

…

The following day.

Luca opened her eyes and sat up straight. Then, she glanced out the window. It was morning.

She could feel her head spinning. She must have bled too much last night. Hence, she was a little weak now.

Luca let out a sigh and looked at the iron balls chained to her feet. It became even more difficult for her to escape after what had happened last night.

The room’s door was pushed open.

Luca saw the two men come into the room one after another with masks on their faces. Each of them was carrying a bag in their hands.

She saw that one of the bags was from a pharmacy. A gleam flashed across her eyes. That should be the merbromin that they bought for her. They were going to dress her wound after hitting her last night.

She reckoned that she was quite valuable to the person who was behind this judging from how carefully they had been treating her. Still, she had yet to figure out what that person wanted from her.
