Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2355

Even if Nina had no idea about it, how could Percy not know about it?

Percy had even asked his lawyer to draft the contract.

Jean looked at the satisfied smile on Anna’s face. He had this feeling that there was something wrong, so he frowned.

Anna noticed that and said, “Son, we don’t have to depend on others anymore in the future. Why are you still frowning?”

Jean asked, “Mom, let me take a look at the contract.”

“Contract? What contract?” Anna was startled for a moment. Then, she realized what Jean was talking about and immediately said, “I don’t have the contract.”

Earlier, Anna was disgusted when she looked at Nina. That was why she did not take the contract. She had a feeling that it would bring bad luck to her when she saw Nina’s name.

“Why didn’t you take it?” Jean’s voice was rising uncontrollably.

“Why should I take it? She agreed to sever ties with her family and they gave me the money. She has nothing to do with us anymore,” said Anna.

“Aren’t you afraid that they’ll set you up?” Jean frowned. Anna used to be smart. Why had she become so foolish?

Jean woke up too late.

“What are you afraid of? I’ve got nothing to lose as long as the money’s already in my hands. Son, stop overthinking. Get well soon and we can get discharged from the hospital. Then, we’ll go home and live our lives comfortably,” said Anna.

Their family was initially a middle-class family. However, since they were set up by Marie and Bianca, life had never been easy for them. Jean even got into prison.

Anna realized that it had been a long time since she could live the life she wanted.

Now, as long as the Raynes were not around, she could live her life comfortably.

Jean suddenly thought that what Anna said was right when he saw her being so positive.

After all, they had nothing to lose. What could Nina and Percy get from them even if they worked together to set them up?

It was all a fuss over nothing.

Jean's mood lightened up, but he reminded Anna, "Mom, you must take a close look at the terms and conditions when you're signing a contract with the others. Besides, you'll have to keep a copy of the document with you. Otherwise, you'll be fooled by others."

“It’s a must if I’m signing contracts with others, but I couldn’t be bothered about that contract. It brings bad luck. Besides, I’ve already asked them to add in the term that Percy and Nina will be responsible for the person you injured back then. We don’t have to bother about it.”

The nurse came in right after Anna finished her sentence. She stood in front of Jean’s ward bed.

“What’s your name?” the nurse asked.

“Jean Langdon,” replied Jean.

“The doctor has ordered to give you an injection for your pain. I’m going to give you an injection now. It might hurt. Please endure it. Turn around and we’ll start now,” the nurse said expressionlessly. She waited for Jean to turn around. Then, she pulled Jean’s patient gown up and gave him the injection.

Jean grunted in pain.

After the injection, the nurse said, “It’s done. Just press the patient bell if there’s anything you need.”

Anna asked in a distressed tone after the nurse left, “Did it hurt…”

"Pain injections hurt." Jean massaged the back of his back. It hurt like hell when the needle stabbed into him.

Anna let out a sigh and said, “Okay. It’s time for you to tell me what happened last night.”

“What?” Jean’s gaze wandered.

“Why were you beaten?” Anna asked.

“It’s about underworld affairs…” Jean turned his face away, refusing to look at Anna.

“Just be honest. I heard that you ran out of money and borrowed money from them,” said Anna. She sat beside the bed and looked at him helplessly.
