Nina frowned. ''Who''s calling so early in the morning?''
She turned over and tried to get her phone.
Percy grabbed her hand and muttered, "Don''t worry about it."
Nina was not sure whether tough or cry.
Outsiders would be shocked if they knew that the CEO of Mallory Corporation acted like this when he
woke up in the morning.
"I''m getting a call so early. Something must have happened." Nina removed his hands, picked up the
phone, and nced at the iing call. It was an unfamiliar number.
Some time ago, some random numbers kept calling her, so she had to change her phone number.
Therefore, she was annoyed with random numbers. She would hang up straight and refuse to answer
their calls.
She put down the phone. Percy asked, "Who''s calling?"
"Some random number. It might be to harass me," Nina said. Her phone number was maliciously
exposed when her past was put in the spotlight.
Some reporters would call to interview her. At the same time, many called to scream at her, saying that
she was shameless and unworthy of Percy.
She had just changed her number, so Nina wondered who exposed it again...
The phone rang as soon as she put it down.
"Do I need to change my number again?" Nina turned to her side and asked Percy.
"Answer first and see who it is." Percy patted the back of her hand.
Nina gave a hum and turned around to pick up the phone. It was the same number as just now. She
answered it and asked, "Who is it?"
"Are you Ms. Nina Langdon?" An unknown female voice came from the other end of the phone.
Nina frowned. Just when she was about to deny it, she heard the other person say, "This is the
emergency department of the hospital. Is Jean Langdon your brother?"
Ninay t on the bed. She looked at Percy when she heard Jean''s name.
She knew that nothing good could happen whenever she heard about Jean from someone else''s
mouth.
What was worse, it was the hospital calling.
The previous issue involving Jean thest time had not been resolved. Tyrone Hugh had not been
discharged from the hospital. ''What did he do again?''
"Jean was found passed out next to the garbage dump today. He was injured and left to freeze on the
street for a night. The hospital is resuscitating him now. Pleasee to the hospital immediately," the
hospital staff member said.
"Okay, I see." Nina hung up the phone and looked at Percy dully.
"What''s wrong?" Percy asked softly when he realized that she must have been notified of some bad
news.
"Jean is in the hospital," Nina said.
"I''ll take you there." Percy did not intend toze in bed anymore and sat up immediately. He helped
Nina to sit up as well.
"The staff at the hospital said that he was found next to a garbage dump. He''s covered in bruises and
was freezing all night beside the garbage dump," Nina said dully. Her mind was nk.
She realized that the temperaturest night was around minus 10 degrees.
Someone who spent the night outdoors when it was minus 10 degrees would be in life-threatening
danger even if they wore a thick coat.

On top of that, Jean was injured.
''Can they save him?''
Nina could not control herself as her eyes filled with tears.
"Don''t overthink it. Wash up and change into a fresh set of clothes," Percy pursed his lips and said. He
knew the seriousness of the matter.
An injured person who was left to freeze outside for a whole night had a low chance of being rescued.
Nina was pushed out of bed by Percy. She walked into the bathroom with a dumbfounded expression.
She brushed her teeth and washed her face. She moved like she was on autopilot mode...
It was her primal consciousness that supported her doing so.
Nina went downstairs after she washed up.
Percy had prepared everything. He asked the nanny to pack a few pieces of bread and milk. After he
put on a coat, he put a scarf around Nina''s neck and said, "Come on. Let''s go to the hospital to see
what''s going on."
"Mm..." Nina was pulled to the car by him.
The two got into the car.
Percy was in charge of driving. After he buckled his seat belt, he stuffed the bread and milk into her
hands. "Have something to eat. Don''t go hungry."
"I''m worried about Jean..." Nina said. Although she hated Jean, blood was thicker than water. She
could not treat him like a stranger when she heard that something happened to him.
"The doctor will help him. You should have breakfast first," Percy said. "I''ve asked Johann to go over
and find out what''s going on."
Nina did not seem to hear his arrangement. She clutched the bread tightly and said, "It''s so cold. Why
would he be outside? He was beaten up, so why didn''t he call the police?"
Percy did not feel good as he listened to her mumble. Nevertheless, they did not know what had
happened to Jean.
"I''ll find out." He could only promise her that he would take care of it.
"If Jean dies, how am I going to tell our mother?" Nina asked, She was dumbfounded and suddenly
panicked when she thought of that.
Anna cared most about her son. If Jean was gone, Anna might go crazy.
If she went crazy, Nina would never have a peaceful life.
"Don''t worry, everything will be fine..." Percy was unsure how tofort her.
Johann called when they were still on the way to the hospital.
Percy knew that Nina was worried about Jean, so he turned on the loudspeaker. "How''s Jean doing
now?"
"I just learned that he froze for more than four hours. He was found next to the dump by an old garbage
man in the morning. He didn''t respond to the old man no matter how hard he tried to wake him, so he
called the police and the ambnce," Johann said.
"Is he..."
"The doctor is still resuscitating him. There are many injuries on his body. It seems that he was beaten
up. He''s being observed in the emergency room. He just had a CT scan of the whole body. It''s hard to
say whether he has any internal injury. His body temperature has risen a little now. He should be fine if
they continue to attend to him. However, he was left to freeze for a bit. I don''t know if there will be any
after-effects..." Johann said.
Many people who were left to freeze outside overnight could not be rescued. There were many such
cases.
Jean was lucky.
In extremely cold weather, ordinary people would get delusions and take off their clothes. Many of them
froze to death because of it.
Jean was injured and did not have the strength to take off his coat, so he managed to keep warm
throughout the night.
When the ambnce arrived, his breathing and heartbeat were weak.
A series of rescues were immediately carried out as soon as he got onto the ambnce, and his
breathing and heartbeat slowly rose.
"Dr. Park, will he be alright?" Nina asked in a trembling voice as her tears fell.
"He''s rtively stable, but you have to be mentally prepared. After all, we don''t know the extent of the
injuries in his body. Also, people with frostbite may have seque," Johann told her.
