Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 3269

Luca thought that after the traffic police left, nothing else would happen for the rest of the day.

That was until Old Master Mallory showed up.

Luca watched as the old master, supported by his butler, walked into the ward. She felt a wave of relief that Luke was still here.

When Luke saw Old Master Mallory, he frowned slightly. He stood up and asked, “Old Master Mallory, what brings you here?”

“I came to check on Ms. Craw,” replied Old Master Mallory, glancing over at Luca, who was lying in bed.

“Is she feeling better?” The usually stern old man now had a gentle smile on his face.

Luca did not find it particularly kind.

Some people are good at pretending, and those who did not know better might think it was genuine. However, someone like Luca, who had undergone professional training, could easily see through the old master’s act.

Karen had messed up, and now, the old man was here to apologize on her behalf.

Still, it was not necessary.

Karen was not drunk driving, nor did she flee the scene after the accident. Even if there was some conflict between them, the traffic police were unlikely to throw Karen in jail.

Thus, Luca could not quite figure out why Old Master Mallory had come.

If she were the lady of the Crawford family, it would make sense for him to visit and apologize.

However, given the current situation, she was just Luke’s “mistress” in the shadows. There was no way Old Master Mallory would apologize to someone without an official status.

“I'm feeling better,” Luke answered for Luca, giving her a look that said everything was under control and she did not need to worry. He added, “Old Master Mallory, please have a seat.”

He stood up, offering the couch to the old man.

Old Master Mallory sat down, leaning on his cane.

Luke said nothing. He sat next to Luca and glanced at the caretaker.

The caretaker got the hint, turned, and quietly left the ward, closing the door behind her.

Old Master Mallory sat in silence for a while before slowly asking, “What did the doctor say?”

“She took a blow to the head and got a concussion. They need to monitor her for 24 hours. The traffic police came by to take her statement and mentioned that it was a good thing she was inside the car.

"At that speed, if she had been outside, she could’ve been thrown several meters away.” Even though Luke's tone was calm, his dark expression showed his displeasure.

Old Master Mallory’s expression immediately darkened.

The traffic police had already been here? It seemed he was a bit late. He did not expect them to act so quickly this time.

While he looked at Luca lying there with her eyes closed, Old Master Mallory thought to himself that it should not be too serious. There were no visible injuries, just a concussion.

Pierre had caused similar trouble before, and it was easily handled.

However, since Luca had Luke backing her, Old Master Mallory had to take it more seriously.

“Luke, I won’t beat about the bush. What Karen did was wrong, and I’m not here to apologize on her behalf. When she gets out, I’ll make sure she kneels by Ms. Craw’s bedside and apologizes in person.

"I’m here today to discuss how we should handle this matter,” said Old Master Mallory.

When the old master found out that Karen actually hit someone with a car, especially someone connected to Luke, he was furious.

Was she really so reckless that she was determined to ruin the relationship between the Mallory and Crawford families?

Old Master Mallory knew that Old Master Crawford had accepted Luca, and even though she was not married to Luke, having the elders’ approval was almost as good as being married.

Karen had caused trouble so many times, and if it were not for the good relationship between Percy and Luke, as well as the extensive business ties between their families, the two families would have already been at each other’s throats because of her.
