Chapter 3219 Nina Will Officially Become Mrs. Mallory
The head nurse hurried back to the nurses' station.
Abraham was still there filling out forms. When the head nurse saw him, she quickly asked, "Dr. Wood, what happened to Mr. Mallory just now? Why is he filing a complaint?"
"Let him complain. It doesn't matter." Abraham paused for a moment. After he signed his name, he handed the form to the nurse. "Let him complain all he wants. He's always snapping at anyone he catches. I've never seen such a difficult patient." The other nurses nodded in agreement.
"I'm scared of him too. He's terrifying. If I have to deal with him a couple more times, I'd rather go back to my original department," said a young nurse.
"Oh, don't say that. You rarely come to this floor. You'll have to stick it out," replied the head nurse. Then, she said in a low voice, "He's getting discharged anyway."
"He's getting discharged? It'll be a long wait!" The young nurse frowned. Typically, other patients with fractures would go home after having stitches removed or after a month in the hospital.
However, wealthy patients like Pierre would surely stay for two or even three months, possibly even staying for rehabilitation training in the hospital.
The nurse felt a headache coming on just thinking about it. Wealthy people really did not mind spending money on extended hospital stays.
Pierre did not care about the expenses, but it was a headache for the nurses.
"Head nurse, you'd better take this over quickly. Otherwise, he'll start yelling again soon," said the young nurse.
"Oh, right." The head nurse quickly took the complaint form and pen to Pierre.
Pierre wrote a doctor's name on the complaint form, and after stating his reasons, he said angrily, "Take this to the director's office."
"Mr. Pierre, we have a procedure for handling complaints," replied the head nurse. "Doesn't my status warrant skipping these procedures?" Pierre frowned. He knew the hospital's rules, but he was dissatisfied. "Do I need to call your director directly?"
"No, it's alright. I'll take it over now," replied the head nurse. She was truly afraid of Pierre.
She was not the only one who feared him. The whole hospital was on edge because of Pierre.
First, there was Leia, who became infamous in the hospital. Now, Pierre had made the entire hospital staff fear him.
The head nurse hurried away.
Pierre then called Karen on the phone, "I told you to bring Luca over. How is it going?" Karen was startled for a moment. She glanced at Old Master Mallory. She stood up, walked outside, and then replied, "I've arranged it. Pierre, just wait for a while longer." "I can't wait anymore!" Pierre wanted to get up and walk immediately.
"You have to wait, even if you can't!" Karen's tone grew firm. "You know as well who's backing that woman. You've got to wait it out, or we're all screwed!"
She was still planning things.
Since Luca was with Luke, she had to find a good opportunity.
"Useless! All of you are useless!" Pierre cursed loudly and hung up the phone.
Karen listened to the busy tone that came from the other end of the phone, her expression turning dark.
She quickly walked back at the thought of Old Master Mallory still being inside. "Father, sorry about that. I had to take a call real quick," said Karen.
Old Master Mallory took a sip of tea and asked straightforwardly, "Was it Pierre?"
"No," Karen instinctively denied, feeling guilty about Luca's situation.
"I heard everything." Old Master Mallory frowned. He was suddenly suspicious. "Are you plotting something with Pierre again?"
"Father, no, we weren't discussing anything. Pierre just got angry with me, so I instinctively denied it," Karen quickly explained, realizing her sense of guilt had been keenly picked up by Old Master Mallory.
"Is that all?" Old Master Mallory was unconvinced.
"Yes, that's it. Pierre is currently undergoing rehabilitation therapy, but the treatment isn't going well. That's why the child is in a bad mood," explained Karen.
"He's nearly thirty years old, and you still call him a child?" scolded Old Master Mallory. "You've spoiled him."
"Father, I..." Karen was suddenly at a loss for words.
It seemed like she had indeed spoiled him.
She had no choice but to admit it.
"All the trouble has been sorted out. Luckily, the mess you and Pierre caused didn't
have a big impact on the Mallory family. I'm here today to remind you to live a good life and stop stirring up drama. If anything happens, don't blame me for not prioritizing family ties."
Old Master Mallory gave her his final warning.Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
Karen shuddered and turned to look at Old Master Mallory.
Still, she was unable to read anything from his eyes. She wondered if he already knew about her attempt to persuade Luca to perform dry needling on Pierre.
"What's on your mind?" asked Old Master Mallory, feeling displeased with her distraction.
"Father, I understand," replied Karen, Even though Pierre was mad at her, as a mother, she could not ignore her child's well-being. Therefore, even with this warning, these were things she still had to do.
Old Master Mallory narrowed his eyes. His aged eyes seemed to be able to see through Karen's thoughts.
She felt uneasy under his gaze. She shifted her sitting posture and asked, "Father, are you staying for lunch today? The maid here cooks pretty well."
"No need." Old Master Mallory shook his head.
"Okay," Karen still felt awkward. It was as though the old master could see right through her inner thoughts.
Old Master Mallory stared at Karen intensely. After a moment, he stood up with his cane. "I have other matters to attend to. I'll head back."
Karen let out a sigh of relief. "Okay, Father. Let me walk you out."
As they reached the door, Karen asked again, "Father, Percy is going to marry that woman. Do you plan to stop them?"
Old Master Mallory glared at her. "What are you trying to say?"
"I will never accept that daughter-in-law. I don't want to see them get married," replied Karen. She had received news from the hotel that Percy had already booked a venue and was planning for a banquet with a wedding planning company.
The wedding date was approaching.
However, Karen did not want Percy to marry Nina.
Once this wedding took place, it meant Nina would officially become Mrs. Mallory, with all the rights and recognition that title brought.
It also meant that Percy would confront the family to marry that woman. Karen felt disgusted and resentful. When she recalled what Nina had said to her before, she felt uncomfortable.
It was said that a daughter-in-law should listen to her mother-in-law, but Nina did not care about her at all. She thought that with Percy's support, she could do whatever she wanted.
It was like this now. If the wedding took place, Nina would be even more unscrupulous in the future.
"You might not accept it, but can you stop Percy?" Old Master Mallory had seen through everything now.
Karen shook her head. If she could stop it, she would have done so long ago. She had even used Mallory Corporation as a threat, but Percy still insisted on being with Nina.
Moreover, he did not take her threats seriously. She had never succeeded.
