Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 3038

"Old Master Mallory, please don't blame yourself. After all, Madam Mallory blessed the Mallory family with two outstanding heirs." Mr. Bennet knew that going on like this would make the old master all gloomy and miserable, so he tried to console him.

As the years piled on, it would be best to see things clearly and not overthink. There was no need to dwell on every little thing.

Old Master Mallory shook his head in response to Mr. Bennet’s words.

"What kind of outstanding heirs are we talking about here? One of them is rebellious and picked the wrong woman to be his wife. The other one, well, let's not talk about him. If he wasn't in the Mallory family, the stuff he pulled would've landed him in hot water ages ago."

Mr. Bennet, wanting to say some comforting words, found himself unable to.

Percy and Nina were indeed not a good match, but Mr. Bennet did not see it as a significant problem.

What was the big deal as long as Nina truly loved Percy?

The Mallory family no longer needed arranged marriages to strengthen the family. With Percy around, they could maintain their current position and even rise higher.

If Percy was capable, why could he not choose the wife he wanted?

A good daughter-in-law, according to the Mallory family's standards, might not actually be good—just like Karen.

She was still stirring up so much trouble for the Mallory family at this age.

As an outsider, Mr. Bennet understood this, but he could not express these thoughts in front of Old Master Mallory. He knew that he would face a reprimand.

"Old Master Mallory, would you like to go to the hospital now?" asked Mr. Bennet. If the old master needed to go to the hospital, he would have the chauffeur prepare the car.

"No," replied Old Master Mallory as he rose to his feet. He leaned on his cane. He was worn out after dealing with Pierre’s affairs for so long. While he was dealing with his grandson's matters, he could not help but wonder how Pierre could be such a troublemaker.

That was why he had no intention of visiting the hospital now.

After all, the hospital would not do anything to Pierre. The old master had already done enough by getting Percy out.

"Help me back to my bedroom," said Old Master Mallory. His voice sounded weathered and worn.

“Yes, sir.” Mr. Bennet came forward to help him.

…

Karen hurriedly arrived at the hospital. It was already ten o’clock in the evening, way past the visiting hours. However, the rules for the VIP ward were different. Karen stood at the nurse's station and waited for a while.

After the nurse gave the confirmation, Karen headed to Pierre's ward.

"Pierre, how are you?" Karen pushed open the door. Her face was filled with anxiety as she walked to the bedside.

"Mom, why are you here?" Pierre found a comfortable position to lie down. He was consistently either in a recumbent or seated position, as his doctor strictly prohibited him from standing. He wished the doctor could remove the cast quickly.

However, the doctor said it could not be rushed. His leg bone had not fully healed yet.

"I heard you were released from the detention ward today, so I came to see you. It's been so many days. How's your leg recovering?" asked Karen. She felt a pang of heartache when she saw Pierre’s leg in a cast.

"It’s not going to be easy to recover from this." Pierre chuckled with a touch of self-mockery as he looked at the cast on his leg. The resentment in his heart grew.

During this time, he realized that even with rehabilitation, it would be tough for him to walk like a regular person.

He would limp whenever he walked.

A cripple...

How could the heir of the Mallory family be a cripple?!

Karen noticed the hatred in his eyes that was directed toward his own leg. She felt the throbbing pain in her heart as though someone was poking her heart with a dagger.

"Pierre, it'll get better. No matter how much it costs, I'll make sure you walk like a normal person.”
