Luca was secretly upset when she heard what he said.
She thought she might have a chance to escape once her legs were untied, but although she was able
to walk freely now, she could not get out of here.
The blindfold was taken off as well. Luca looked at her legs. Indeed, there were two big iron balls
chained to her feet. She was always cuffed with two big iron balls when she underwent physical
training on the Ind of Despair back then. Hence, such weight was nothing to her.
However, her hands were tied up. There was little chance for her to escape.
Luca did not look around. She stared directly at the three masked men in front of her. She knew they
would not simply touch her after listening to their conversation. She was still safe for now.
She had been behaving herself to let their guard down.
Indeed, the three men left the room when she did not say anything or struggle.
They kept a light on for her even though they had left the room.
Luca looked around the room and noticed that there were no splendid decorations here. However,
based on the paint job, the house must be beautiful and majestic.
She did not continue to look at the decorations. Instead, she began searching for tools that could cut
the rope on her hands.
Atst, her gaze fell on the edges of the bed.
It seemed like this was the only thing that could grind and cut the rope around her hands. She would
need some time to grind and cut the rope. She did not know when those men woulde in again, so
she had to wait till the middle of the night.
Luca sat down on the floor and leaned beside the bed to take a rest after she made her decision.
The reason why she did not sit on the bed was simple. How was she supposed to carry her legs up
onto the bed with two iron balls chained to her feet?
She would alert the two men if she lifted her legs onto the bed andy down.
Luca had not figured out what was the purpose of them kidnapping her. Hence, she had to be careful in
everything she did.
The two men sat in the living room. No noises wereing from the room. After a while, they felt
uneasy and pushed the door open to check on her.
They saw Luca was sitting on the floor and taking a rest. The man sneered and mocked her in a low
voice, saying, “She''s taking it very well."
He returned to his seat and said to his boss, "She''s asleep."
“She''s still able to fall asleep?" The other man raised his brows and asked.
"Yes, but her legs are cuffed. She''s sleeping on the floor. I wonder what''s with that woman. She''s taking
it so well. She''s not even crying or yelling. She even fell asleep like a normal person. Doesn''t she
realize that she''s been kidnapped?" The man scoffed.
"It''s good that she''s not shouting. That saves us the trouble. Come get some supper."
On the other hand.
Nina had just walked out of Anna''s ward. She headed straight to the supermarket after she got off work
to prepare some soup for Anna and Jean. Anna criticized her unhappily after she sent the food to the
hospital. It was because she could not deliver her three meals a day. Anna could not get used to the
meals in the hospital, and sheined they tasted awful.
Nina exined to her that she had to go to work, so there was no way she could prepare three meals a
day for Anna. She got scolded after that.
Hence, she left the ward right away without bringing the thermos bottle along with her.
Anna was in poor health. Nina did not want to quarrel with her, but she also refused to listen to her
comints.
She came to the hospital''s outdoor car park. She no longer dared to park her car in the basement
parking lot after she got stalked. She was worried that no one would be around to help her if she was
kidnapped.
She was all alone now. She had to learn how to protect herself.
However, she ran into thest person she wanted to see on earth at the parking lot.
It was Pierre Mallory.
Pierre was leaning on her car, waiting for her.
He put on a bright yet mischievous smile on his face when he saw Nina walk toward him.
Nina met his eyes under the light. She felt that something was wrong...
“This is my car. Please step aside. Otherwise, don''t me me for being aggressive." Nina showed a
cold face. She was already in a bad mood, and now she had run into Pierre, this *sshole. It made her
feel even worse.
Was this world going against her? Why did the person she did not want to see the most show up in
front of her? All the things that she did not want to happen were happening to her!
“Why are you talking like that? Don''t you want to see me?" Pierre grinned. The more she behaved like
that, the more he wanted her.
Nina rolled her eyes. “Why did you even show up when you know you''re not wee here? Get lost! I
don''t want to see anyone from the Mallory family!"
Pierre stroked his chin. He was not frightened by what she said. He frowned and replied, “Why? Is it
because my brother dumped you? You can''t me me for that."
Nina sneered. Neither of the Mallory brothers was a good person. If she were not living in a society of
rules andws, she would have hit the elerator after she got into the car. She would have crushed
Pierre''s body with the tires by going back and forth a few times.
She walked to the driver''s seat and prepared to pull the door open. Pierre grabbed her hands instead.
“I came here for you today. Don''t be ungrateful."
Nina was startled by what he did. She shook his hand off, trying to stay away from him as though he
was an infectious person.
"We''re at the hospital. I''ll scream and tell them that you molested me if you dare to do anything to me.
You''ll be on the front page of the newspapers tomorrow." She warned him viciously. Their previous
encounter took ce at the apartment where no one else was around, so she could not use this
method to warn Pierre.
It was different now. They were in the parking lot of the hospital. People were walking to and fro around
them. If she screamed, she could definitely attract their attention.
Pierre belonged to the Mallory family. He could not risk humiliating himself. He would get scolded so
badly if he was on the front page of the newspapers.
What she said made Pierre behave himself a little. He nced at his hand that she pushed away and
warned her, "You''ll regret it for getting rid of me now."
"Then make me regret if you''re capable of doing so. I''ve got nothing to lose. You''re the one who''s
always driving me crazy. I''ll die with you. It''d be great if you can be my scapegoat before I die." There
was a look of insanity in Nina''s eyes as she spoke.
She had be like this today all because of Pierre.
Pierre gave her a thumbs up when he looked at the hints of insanity from the depths of her eyes. "Sure.
Very well, you''vepletely offended me now. You want to make things difficult for me, right? Then I
won''t make things any easier for you. Wait for it. I''ll kill everyone around you even if I can''t screw you
over."

"Then go ahead. They''re in the ward. They won''t be able to fight back either. Go ahead and do it. I''ll
have to thank you for that!" Nina thought he was talking about Anna and Jean. She pointed at the
hospital building and said, "If you dare to do that, I''ll visit you every day!"
Pierre saw her madness, and he sneered. He patted off the dust on his sleeves and left. "You''ll regret
it!"
