Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 3414

“'ll contact someone in A City to investigate,” said Gale.

“Let Percy know while you're at it,” added Luke. “He needs to be aware of this.”

“Got it.” Gale hurried off to handle the matter.

…

After taking Gale's call, Percy hung up and stared icily at the middle-aged man standing before him.

Under Percy's chilling gaze, the man nervously dabbed at the sweat on his forehead with a handkerchief.

“Mr. Mallory, my sincerest apologies…” The man, the director of the psychiatric hospital, had come to personally apologize to Percy today.

Karen had escaped.

Two days ago, Percy admitted Karen to the psychiatric hospital. After an evaluation, the doctors determined her condition warranted hospitalization, so she was admitted.

Even though Karen was against it, given her mental state and with the consent of an immediate family member, the hospital was legally authorized to proceed.

Percy had even informed the hospital to take special care of Karen. He had explicitly instructed them not to discharge her until she had fully recovered. To ensure this, he had made a generous donation to the hospital.

They had received the funding, yet the negligence on the part of the hospital staff had allowed Karen to escape.

The director felt like crying.

Losing the donation was one thing, but the potential damage to the hospital's reputation was far more serious. Their facility was not only renowned in A City but also across the country!

An incident like this—a patient escaping from their psychiatric hospital—could cause a massive scandal.

That was why the director of the psychiatric hospital had come to confess to Percy, hoping to downplay the incident and find a way to salvage the situation. After all, they still had not located Karen.

“Do you think a simple apology will make this go away?” Percy instinctively picked up a cigarette.

Nina did not like him smoking. Therefore, Percy quit smoking a long time ago. Still, holding a cigarette helped him think.

The director wiped his sweat again and said, “I know this is a serious matter, and no amount of apologies can fix it. That’s why I’m here, to find a solution. Our staff has searched everywhere but hasn’t been able to locate Madam Mallory. We were hoping you could help us. Once she’s back, I promise we’ll take stricter measures to ensure this doesn’t happen again.”

No one at the hospital had expected Karen, a woman, to escape through multiple layers of security. It was impossible to believe she had not received any help.

They had no clue. Left with no other choice, the director had to turn to Percy.

Percy slammed the cigarette onto the table.

The director flinched.

“What is your hospital even doing?” Percy demanded coldly. “You let her escape, and now, you want her family to help find her? Is this what your hospital brags about in its ads?”

The director remained silent, too intimidated to respond.

“I remember telling you she didn't want to be admitted, didn’t I?” Percy's voice was cold.

The director nodded slightly. “Yes, you did. This was entirely due to our carelessness.”

A trace of rage flashed across Percy's eyes. Sending Karen to the psychiatric hospital had not been his first choice. It was a last resort.

If Karen stayed out in public, she would only ruin his plans.

Old Master Mallory harbored a deep disdain for Karen, and the world’s perception of her was equally unforgiving. The only shield she had left was the claim of her mental instability.

Percy had no intention of cleaning up her messes anymore. That was why he had taken the drastic step of committing her to the psychiatric hospital. While receiving treatment, she would also be cut off from the outside world.

At least it would stop her from causing trouble during such a critical time.
