Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 3043

She did not stick around with the Mallory family for such a long time, enduring years of loneliness, just to be a tool.

"You don’t have to tell me what to do. Since you have the time, why don’t you sort out those past matters of yours that are still unclear? How do you expect others to view the Mallory family if you leave things hanging like this?"

Pierre replied indifferently as he listened to her lecture.

Karen's heart could not help but feel uneasy. She felt uncomfortable being complained about by her own son. As she looked at the stack of files, she rose to her feet and said, "Go on with your work. I'm going back."

Pierre could not be bothered to remind Karen to keep herself safe on her way back. Instead, he picked up a file and said, "Tell my assistant to come in."

Karen pursed her lips. She felt wronged in front of her youngest son but could not bring herself to lay that grievance on him. Thus, she quickly walked out of the ward.

Pierre's assistant and nurse stood not far from the ward door.

Karen first said to the assistant, "Mr. Pierre has something to discuss with you. Go in."

"Yes, Madam." The assistant nodded and quickly entered the ward.

Karen then walked to the nurse and whispered to her, "Take good care of him. If anything happens, look for the doctor. Don't let him push himself too hard."

She knew her son too well. If they kept him lying in the hospital bed, he might resist, and he would even try to get up.

"Yes, Madam," the nurse understood and immediately replied.

After Karen left, the nurse was about to return to Pierre's ward. Before she pushed the door open, she heard a thunderous rage coming from inside.

"What kind of lousy plan did you come up with? Do you think they'll hand over the project to our company with such a plan?"

The nurse shivered for a moment. She had just started her night shift yesterday.

When she arrived, Pierre was already asleep. Therefore, she did not really get a good read on his temperament.

Now, it seemed that this patient had a bad temper.

The nurse secretly pondered whether she would get an increment in salary for taking care of a patient with such a bad temper.

After a while, the assistant who had just entered came out holding a messy pile of files. He looks quite disheveled now, especially when compared to a moment ago.

He shot a glance at the nurse. Then, he squatted down to organize the files on the floor. Once he was done, he left without saying a word.

The nurse was frightened by his appearance, but considering she was just a nurse, any dissatisfaction the patient had would not be taken out on her. Thus, she mustered the courage to enter the ward.

After a while, a voice came from the ward. "Are you trying to roast me alive?"

The nurse shook her head as she passed by the ward door. She recalled what the night shift nurse said yesterday and furrowed her brows.

It would take at least two months for a patient with a fracture to recover and be discharged. Considering Pierre's surgery time, there was still more than a month before the cast could be removed.

She could not help but mutter, "Being a nurse is really tough."

...

After Karen left the hospital, she went to the Mallory Estate to check on Silas' condition.

In the villa, two men stood at the door of a bedroom.

It was a room without a balcony, and the windows had bars. They kept Silas in this room. They respectfully greeted Karen when they saw her walk toward them, "Madam Mallory."

"Is he in there?" asked Karen.

"Yes, he's in there," replied the man. Their current task was to keep an eye on Silas and make sure he did not escape.

Silas seemed to have accepted this fact now. Since the place he was staying was decent, he had decided to enjoy it rather than attempt an escape.
