“Okay, I''ll y along with you." Anna bucked up and agreed without a second thought.
The woman beside their ward bed shook her head helplessly when she saw this. She had been in the
hospital all this while and knew what their situation was.
She thought the daughter of the patient beside was unfilial. After all, her daughter seldom came to the
hospital to visit her mother.
She finally knew the reason now.
Anyone would have done the same thing. They would not want anything to do with this kind of mother
and brother.
Jean knew he had sessfully convinced his mother. A gleam shed across his eyes. He picked up
his phone and began to put on a show.
After Nina returned to her office, her phone rang. She nced at it and saw Jean calling her. She
thought for a moment. Jean must be up to no good if he was calling her. Hence, she hung up the call
without a second thought.
After a while, Anna called.
Nina was annoyed. After Jean, it was Anna now. They must be up to something, and it was probably
because of amodation issues. She refused to answer the call and rejected it immediately. Then,
she sent a message to her: [I''m in a meeting now. Just leave a message if there''s anything else you''d
like to tell me."
After a while, Anna sent a message: [I have a situation here. Get here as soon as possible.]
Nina did not stand up immediately. After all, Anna had been using such methods to lure her to the
hospital. She refused to fall for it again.
She replied to her message: [Just say it here. I''m busy.]

[Nina, what an unfilial daughter you are. You''ll have to deal with my funeral affairs tomorrow if you don''t
come today!] Anna had to use such means when Nina refused to answer her call ande over to the
hospital.
Nina shook her head helplessly. Sometimes, trouble woulde looking for her even if she did not go
looking for it herself—just like what was happening now.
Anna threatening Nina with her death left Nina with no choice but to reply to her message: [I''ll head to
the hospital after I finish my work.]
Anna reclined on the bed and saw Nina''s reply. She could not help but scold angrily, "Look at this b*tch.
Does she even give a damn about her mother?"
Jean did not care that much as long as Nina was willing toe here.
He sat there and waited.
Nina only showed up in the ward when it was noontime. She was not surprised to see Anna and Jean
together in the ward.
After all, it was Jean who looked for her first. Hence, Anna looking for her had to have something to do
with Jean.
Anna could not help throwing a tantrum at her when she saw Ninaing in. "You damned girl! Why
are you sote?"
Nina looked at Anna, who was perfectly fine. Then, she looked at Jean, who was beaten up so badly.
She asked expressionlessly, "What''s the matter?"
“Of course, there''s a reason why we''re looking for you,” Jean said, “Look at what you''ve done to me.”
Nina looked at Jean''s face and asked, “Who did you mess with this time?”
“Thanks to you, Pierre did this to me.” Jean made an angry expression and said, “Pierre released his
anger on me just because you''re ignoring him. Nina, well done. You''re the reason why I got beaten up.
I''ll get you for this!”
Nina looked straight at him when she heard it was Pierre who beat him up. "Why?"
“Well, none of this would have happened if you had talked to him. Mr. Mallory told me that he''ll kill me if
you don''t go to see him tonight. You know the Mallory family well. It''s easy for them to kill someone.
Nina, I''m your brother. Although we''re not always on good terms, I''m still your brother no matter what.
You wouldn''t want to see me killed, right?” Jean pointed at his face, ming Nina for it.
Nina fell silent.
Indeed, Pierre might do such things just to see her.
However, there was no need to kill Jean...
Although there was no doubt that the Mallory family could easily make someone vanish in A City, it was
a waste of effort to do such a thing to a nobody like Jean.
Anna went along with Jean''s act. She wiped her tears and said, “Nina, if you still have any conscience
left in you, please have mercy on your brother. He went through this ordeal just because of you. How
can you bear to put him in such danger?”
Nina narrowed her eyes with confusion as she listened to their usations. “You''re not lying to me,
right?”
"Do you think I''m lying to you? Nina, look at these. Do they look fake to you? I know you hate me, and I
admit that I haven''t been taking good care of our mother. When I was on the way to the hospital, Pierre
caught me, pulled me into this car, and beat me up. What could I have done?" Jean quickly covered his
face with his hand when he identally tugged the wounds on his face while he was talking.
Nina did not think they were putting on a show.
Previously, Pierre had threatened her that he wouldy his hands on her family if she refused to listen
to him. She did not expect that he would really do that.
What an evil and despicable man!
Nina clenched her fists. Just then, her phone rang and she received a message.
“Come to Bibbler''s Tale tonight if you don''t want anything to happen to your brother.”
It was from Pierre...
Nina pursed her lips quietly, while Jean said, "Pierre said that I''ll be in trouble if you don''t go tonight.
Nina, please, I beg you. I don''t want to lose my hands and legs at such a young age. I still have to take
care of our mother in the future. Please hurry up and settle this."
Nina turned around with her back facing them.
Anna thought she insisted on not going and scolded her, "Nina if you refuse to go and something
happens to your brother because of it, you don''t have toe back anymore. I''ll no longer have a
daughter like you."
Nina''s heart was broken into pieces when she heard that. Then, she said, “Mom, you only think about
Jean. I never had a ce in your heart.”
"You! I''ll die in front of you if you dare to do this!" Anna threatened her.
Nina took a deep breath. These people were her mother and brother, but they only thought about how
Jean would be in trouble if she did not appear in front of Pierre. They never stopped to think what
would she have to face if she really met Pierre.
Pathetic.
That was all Nina could think of to describe herself.
"I''ll meet him. I hope you can bring yourself to shed a tear when it''s time for you to collect my dead
body." She walked out of the ward after that.
Jean was secretly rejoicing when he heard that. He sent a message to Pierre right away: [Nina will
meet you tonight.]
Anna watched Nina leave the ward from behind. She felt anxious all of a sudden, and she asked, "Mr.
Mallory won''t do anything to her, right?"
"What can he do to her? It''s just what men do to women. Mom, don''t worry. Mr. Mallory won''t hurt Nina.
He''ll only ask her to be his woman," said Jean. All Pierre ever wanted was Nina. He would never
lay a finger on her.
Anna nodded and said, "That''s a relief."
