Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 3420

Karen’s subordinate had always thought Pierre was not someone to be messed with.

With his temperament, he was clearly unfit to be an heir.

That was also why her subordinate could never understand why Karen always favored her youngest son.

Still, at the end of the day, Karen was the one signing his paycheck, not Percy—and certainly not Pierre. Hence, whatever Karen wanted him to do, he did without question.

Thinking about it now, the subordinate figured it was not his place to say anything.

If even Pierre did not think Karen deserved respect, what right did a mere employee like him have to comment?

There was nothing he could say.

Pierre, meanwhile, was stewing over Karen’s latest schemes. His expression darkened as he muttered bitterly, “She couldn’t even use that woman to threaten Percy properly. Now, she’s been sent back to the psychiatric hospital? She’s absolutely useless.”

The subordinate hesitated for a moment as he wanted to say something.

He almost pointed out that there were not many in the Mallory family who could go toe-to-toe with Percy.

However, he stopped himself. If he said that out loud, it would undoubtedly earn him a scolding from Pierre.

The two brothers had been at odds for years.

If it were not for Pierre’s crippled leg, he would probably still be fighting with Percy tooth and nail right now.

The subordinate stood aside as he listened to Pierre hurling insults at Karen. His words were increasingly harsh. He felt speechless but knew he could not argue or offer any input.

It was not until a ringtone cut through the tirade that Pierre finally stopped cursing.

He turned to the subordinate. “Hand me my phone.”

“Yes, sir,” replied the subordinate as he carefully handed over the phone.

Since the last dry needling treatment had helped Pierre’s leg improve slightly, his condition had not progressed much.

He was still limping, and walking was so cumbersome that he opted to stay in a wheelchair most of the time.

Pierre took the phone and answered the call. “What is it?”

On the other end, a man’s voice came through. “Mr. Pierre, Mr. Percy just entered the psychiatric hospital.”

“What’s he doing there?” asked Pierre, only to immediately realize how stupid the question was.

His people would not know what Percy was up to in the psychiatric hospital.

Still, it was not hard to guess. If Percy had gone there at this time, it had to be because of Karen. Pierre narrowed his eyes. “Got it. Keep an eye on him. Let me know the moment he leaves.”

“Yes, sir,” the voice on the phone replied.

…

Percy, led by a nurse, entered Karen’s hospital ward.

Karen, still groggy from the anesthesia, was only half awake. When she saw Percy walk in, her eyes flared with emotion. She struggled to move, her legs kicking as she tried to get up.

However, the anesthesia had not worn off completely, and she could not lift herself.

The nurse standing beside him reminded, “The patient seems to be showing signs of aggression. Should I restrain her with a treatment belt?”

“No need.” Percy glanced around the ward. There was nothing here she could use as a weapon.

Therefore, even if Karen wanted to attack him, she would not stand a chance.

“Okay. I’ll wait outside. Just press the call button if you need anything.” The nurse gave Percy a shy smile. As she was about to leave, Percy asked, “When will she fully regain consciousness?”

“She should be fully awake in about half an hour, but her emotions are very unstable. Whether you can have a normal conversation with her is hard to say.”

“Got it.” Percy nodded. His gaze fixed coldly on Karen.
