Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2859

Before the caretaker could say anything, the ward door swung open again.

She and Pierre looked toward the door and saw an unfamiliar face. Then, the caretaker immediately stood in front of the hospital bed, trying to cover Pierre’s face with her body so that no one would notice who was on the hospital bed.

The person at the door was an elegantly dressed woman whom the caretaker did not recognize.

However, Pierre recognized her. “Mom?”

He sounded surprised. Old Master Mallory said that the mental state of his mother, Karen, was currently very unstable and that he would reach out to a psychiatrist for help. In order to prevent her from getting into trouble, he kept her at home, so Karen never visited him in the hospital.

Thus, Pierre was surprised to see her show up at the hospital.

After hearing what Pierre said, the caretaker stepped aside. Since she was his family member, she would not disclose the news that he had been hospitalized.

Karen impatiently walked to the bedside and looked at Pierre’s plastered right leg. Her eyes brimmed with tears. “Pierre, does it hurt?”

Pierre saw her hand approaching to caress him, but he found it weird, so he dodged it.

He was not a woman, so he did not need this kind of sympathetic maternal love. “Mom, why are you here?”

“How can I not show up when you’re in the hospital?” Karen’s heart ached at the sight of Pierre’s thin face.

Old Master Mallory only told her about this huge news yesterday.

Karen could not help but feel heartbroken at the thought of Pierre suffering. How did he even survive during this time?

Not to mention the Mallory family could not even make a police report because they had not found out who was behind it.

“Grandpa said that your mental health isn’t doing great…” Pierre hesitated before asking, “Are you feeling better?”

Old Master Mallory said that Karen was in low spirits and had poor mental health, but he was not entirely convinced.

Karen seemed quite normal before, so how could she become abnormal all of a sudden?

He was not in the mood to inquire anyway. All he could think about was everyone telling him that his leg was going to be impaired, so he had no intention of asking about Karen’s condition.

The Mallory family would not let anything happen to Karen anyway.

Karen snorted softly and turned to look at the caretaker. “We have things to discuss, so you can go guard the door. Don’t eavesdrop.”

“Yes, Ma’am.” The caretaker looked at her elegant outfit, yet there was not a hint of kindness on her face. She dared not eavesdrop, so she immediately walked out of the ward and closed the door tightly. She took a few steps to the side and stood there.

Karen looked back at Pierre, and her loving expression changed into a serious face. Then, she said, “Can your grandpa’s words even be trusted?”

Pierre raised his eyebrows in confusion.

Karen knew what was on his mind, so she snorted. “Pierre, you got into big trouble this time. Old Master Mallory tends to ignore these things, and I can’t take care of things myself. After I found out you were kidnapped, I was worried about the kidnappers coming to the Mallory family for money. The Mallory family wasn't willing to pay, so I had no choice but to act crazy.”

Pierre frowned as he listened to her.

“If I hadn't acted crazy, your grandfather would've just dumped it all on me. Although I’m the daughter-in-law of the Mallory family, your father has never paid any attention to us, and even your grandpa thinks of me as an outsider. I may have some say in the Mallory family, but how could I control the company’s finances? All the mess you’ve caused so far, including the kidnapping, is up to Old Master Mallory to take care of. I could only act crazy. I knew that when he realized that no one else would clean up your mess, he'd take matters into his own hands,” reasoned Karen.

Pierre was still curious.

Old Master Mallory was not particularly happy when he mentioned Karen.
