"Since you think it’s nice too, I'll buy it," replied Nina, proceeding to place the order.
After placing the order, Nina rose to her feet.
"Where are you going?" asked Luca.
"I’d like to use the restroom," answered Nina with a smile on her face.
At the thought that Karen was also dining in this restaurant, Luca stood up and said, "I'll go with you."
"You're going too?" Nina asked in surprise, wondering why Luca was going again when she had just come back.
"Just keeping you company," said Luca. She took Nina's hand as they walked out of the private room together.
Luke and Percy, who were behind them, did not say anything. Luca closed the private room door behind her and then walked toward the restroom with Nina.
When Nina saw this, she could not help but say, "Why do I feel like you're acting strangely?"
"Am I?” Luca shook her head. "I just want to be with you."
"You were gone for so long just now. Did you meet someone?" asked Nina, feeling that Luca's behavior was odd. She wondered if Luca had met someone just now, hence her long absence.
"Nina, you've become very shrewd lately. You’re no longer easily fooled,” replied Luca in a helpless tone.
"You were thinking of fooling me? Looks like I guessed right. Who did you meet just now? To make you so eager to be my bodyguard..." Nina had just finished speaking when she suddenly realized something and said, "Could it be... Madam Mallory?"
The only people who could make Luca alert and want to protect her were few.
Karen was one, and Pierre was another.
Pierre was currently in the hospital. Luca could not have met him here.
Hence, it had to be Karen.
However, she usually would not dine at this restaurant. How did they manage to run into each other this time?
Could it be that Karen intentionally investigated them and followed them?
"You're right, it's her. But this time, she's not here for you and Mr. Mallory," replied Luca. She accompanied Nina just because she had not agreed to Karen's request earlier. Therefore, Karen might be upset now.
If Karen spotted Nina right now, she might want to take action against Nina again.
"She's not here for me and Percy? Is she here for you, then?" Nina boldly guessed. Then, she was shocked. Instead of heading toward the restroom, she kept looking at Luca. "Did she do anything to you? Let me see!"
"I'm fine. She can't do anything to me. I just don't know where she heard about me treating Tyrone with dry needling. She came looking for me to ask me to treat Pierre," Luca explained helplessly. "There’s no way I’ll treat Pierre. That’s why I rejected her."
"What happened after you rejected her?" asked Nina with concern.
Luca held her hand and walked toward the restroom. "Nothing happened. I came out of the restroom and went back to the private room. Look at me, I’m fine. Don’t worry."
"Wasn't your treatment of Tyrone supposed to be kept a secret? How did she find out? Dr. Wood couldn't have told her," Nina wondered aloud.
Luca had repeatedly instructed both the hospital staff and the Hugh family not to disclose anything to outsiders.
All of them had agreed.
Furthermore, she later heard that Tyrone's mother took the money given by Percy and went back to the countryside.
It had been so long since then, and Karen could not have possibly known anything from the Hugh family.
That left only the doctors and nurses.
However, they all had professional ethics and had promised Luca not to disclose anything.
Even though this was the case, Nina knew that even though it was unlikely, someone must have leaked the information.
