Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2705

“Yes,” said Mr. Bennet while nodding his head in fear that Karen would not believe him.

“I must go back and have a look. There must be more evidence to prove that Pierre was abducted by him,” Karen muttered before leaving right away.

Mr. Bennet was left speechless.

Mrs. Mallory completely forgot about her basic manners because of Pierre.

She even said those things in front of Old Master Crawford and left immediately without even saying goodbye to him.

Mr. Bennet bowed to Old Master Crawford. “I’m sorry you had to see that, Old Master Crawford.”

“What has gotten into Madam Mallory?” Old Master Crawford asked. One moment Karen was weeping and begging him for help, the next she calmly wiped her tears with a tissue.

It was like an improv show with someone acting out different emotions.

Old Master Crawford had seen a lot in his lifetime, but it was the first time he thought that someone was possessed.

“Master Pierre has been kidnapped, so Madam Mallory is in great shock. Mr. Crawford’s men happened to pass by the scene of the kidnapping, so Madam Mallory insists that it’s Master Luke who kidnapped Master Pierre. Old Master Crawford, you and I both know that Master Luke has nothing to do with this, but Madam Mallory doesn’t think so. That’s why she came to see you and make noise,” Mr. Bennet briefly explained,

“I see, so who kidnapped Mr. Pierre, then?” Old Master Crawford could not contain his curiosity. Who wanted to go against the Mallory family?

Did they think that the Mallory family did not already have enough on their plate for them to kidnap Pierre?

“We’re not sure yet. The things I said just now were just to appease Madam Mallory. It’s not a good idea to let her go around harassing the Crawford family,” Mr. Bennet replied.

“That’s right. She must be in great shock for her to become like this. She’s totally different from before.” Old Master Crawford’s eyes may be cloudy, but he could still see people clearly.

He even thought that Karen might need to see a psychiatrist if she continued like this.

“Sigh, the shock from Master Pierre’s kidnapping isn’t the only reason Madam Mallory has become like this. She’s also taking medication for her mood swings because her blood pressure becomes unstable whenever her emotions fluctuate. The usual antihypertensive drugs don’t work on her, so she can only take the fast-acting ones, but those drugs come with side effects, one of which is that it affects her emotions.

“Some people are more affected by the drug than others, like Madam Mallory. Since taking the medicine, she’s become short-tempered. She’s not as gentle and patient as before,” said Mr. Bennet.

Their family doctor had told them about the side effects of the drug when prescribing it, but they did not think that Karen would need to take it often, so they agreed to use it for emergencies.

This drug had the best efficacy, after all.

“So, when one is sick, their physical state will affect their mental state too. Have Master Percy find a psychiatrist for her when you’re free,” Old Master Crawford sighed.

Psychiatrists were not useless.

They might be of help to someone like Karen.

Mr. Bennet nodded and bid farewell to him. “I won’t disturb you any longer, Old Master Crawford. I’ll go back now.”

“Go on.” Old Master Crawford nodded and said to Mr. Griffin, “Please see our guest out.”

“Yes, Old Master Crawford.” Mr. Griffin nodded. He sent Mr. Bennet to the main entrance before going back in.

Old Master Crawford continued to brew tea on the couch.

Mr. Griffin came forward and took away the cup prepared for Karen earlier.

“Karen is a little crazy, don’t you think?” asked Old Master Crawford.

It was the maid who went upstairs to inform her of Karen’s arrival.

She deliberately dressed up to make herself look more glamorous before coming downstairs.

However, Karen was nowhere to be seen.

Old Master Crawford glanced at her outfit and reminded her, “If you had taken a little longer getting ready, dinner would’ve been ready.”

Susan blushed and sat on another couch. “Father, stop making fun of me. Am I not the face of the Crawford family? Karen dresses herself up like a butterfly wherever she goes, so there’s no way I can lose to her.”

Old Master Crawford did not say a word as he calmly sipped his tea.

He was not interested in women’s affairs.

After seeing his behavior, Susan asked Mr. Griffin, “Where’s Madam Mallory? Did she leave so soon?”

“Yes, Madam Crawford. Madam Mallory has already left,” Mr. Griffin replied respectfully before leaving with Karen’s cup in his hands.

Susan fidgeted with her earrings. “Why did she leave so soon?”

“Have you packed your things?” Old Master Crawford asked all of a sudden.

“Pack my things for what?” Susan did not understand what Old Master Crawford meant.

“To move,” Old Master Crawford reminded her.
