    Chapter 3229 Luca Fooled Karen


    "Yeah, we still need to be cautious. With Percy''s wedding approaching and Pierre''s recovery not going well, her emotions might go haywire. Who knows what she might do?"


    Luke, despite not meddling in women''s affairs, still had some understanding of Percy''s mother.


    Most of what he knew came from Percy himself, with some additional insights from past interactions. He knew Karen was not simple.


    Therefore, when he heard Karen was going to see Luca, he grew concerned.


    Despite Luca''s skills and professional training on the Ind of Despair, she could still be in danger if Karen caused trouble.


    "Yes, I know," replied Luca, knowing Luke was worried about her from his long-windedness. She could not help but wonder how surprised T Corporation''s employees would be if they knew about Luke''s current state.


    "I have dinner tonight. Will youe with me?" asked Luke.


    "Dinner? I''d rather not go if there are strangers," replied Luca. As the elevator reached the floor, she stepped out.


    "They''re all people you know. Percy, Gordon, and the others," said Luke. Tonight''s dinner required male guests to bring a femalepanion.


    That was why he wanted to bring Luca along.


    "Okay, I''ll let Aunt Neile know. She''ll have to work overtime, then." Luca thought of the three


    kids who needed someone to look after them at home.


    "I''ve already spoken to Aunt Neile." Luke got her agreement and had nothing more to say. He nced at the time. Jason was still waiting downstairs for their meeting, so he ended the call with Luca.


    After Luca returned to her office, she hung up the call with a smile, changed into herb coat, and headed for theb


    After Luca left, Karen was left in a daze. She sat in the car, thinking about what Luca had said to her earlier.


    She knew those words could not reach Pierre''s ears.


    However, Luca said there was no other way. Even if she used force to bring Luca over, she would say the exact same thing to Pierre.


    Pierre would eventually find out. Thinking this through, Karen felt she could not keep it hidden and called Pierre.


    Pierre quickly answered the phone. He knew Karen had gone to look for Luca today. His first question was, "What did Luca say?"


    Karen let out a sigh.


    Pierre heard her. Frowning, he asked, "She still won''t help with the dry needling?"


    "Pierre, don''t get upset." Karen knew Pierre saw Luca''s dry needling treatment as a lifeline. "I just told her about your condition. She said even if she performed dry needling on you, it wouldn''t have much effect. Basically, it can stimte your nerve cells but will have no impact on bone recovery. How you walk depends on your bones, not nerves..."


    Pierre paused for a moment, struggling to understand Karen''s fragmented exnation. After a few seconds, he grasped the meaning behind her words. His brows furrowed together as he asked directly, "Are you saying I can never stand up normally again?"


    "No, she just meant dry needling won''t help much, so she can''t help." Karen quickly said something else to give him hope, "But with proper rehabilitation, you''ll definitely walk normally again."


    "I don''t believe it..." Pierre felt certain beliefs in his heart copsing instantly.


    He always thought that as long as Luca agreed toe and perform dry needling on him, he would surely recoverpletely and walk like a normal person again.


    He did not expect it to turn out like this...


    "Pierre, you have to stay hopeful. Once you''re feeling better, I''ll take you abroad for rehabilitation treatment. You''ll definitely recover..."Original content from N?velDrama.Org.


    Before Karen could finish her sentence, Pierre hung up the phone.


    Karen listened to the busy toneing from the other end of the line and frowned, worried that Pierre might do something reckless. She immediately told the driver, "Head to the hospital."


    "Yes." The driver had been listening to her conversation with Pierre and realized things were taking a turn for the worse. He started the car engine and rushed toward the hospital.


    Pierre dismissed the caretaker. His belief that he could stand again hadpletely shattered. He could not ept it now.


    Thinking of Abel, he picked up the phone he had just thrown down moments ago.


    It was a good phone. Despite a few cracks on the screen from the fall, it still worked.


    He found the previous number and called it.


    Pierre knew that cunning foxes had manyirs, and someone like Abel, who had previously contacted him using this number, might not necessarily be able to be reached again. He was just testing his luck.


    The phone rang.


    After a few seconds, the phone was answered. "Mr. Pierre?"


    A familiar voice came from the other end, and Pierre let out a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he had not changed his number.


    "I''d like to make another deal with you," Pierre cut straight to the chase.


    "Oh? You expect me to agree? I''m not necessarily going toply." Abel countered.


    "I have money. You need money, don''t you?" asked Pierre.


    There was silence for a few seconds. Then, Abel''s voice returned. "Let''s hear what this ''deal'' is about first."


    Pierre said, "I need you to help find a doctor who can make me walk normally again. Name your price. I''ll agree to any amount. I can transfer all the scans and medical records to you if necessary."


    "I can easily find your medical records anytime, and I do know a couple who are capable of treating your leg. But are you sure you want me to help?" Abel asked with a sinister tone, a sudden thought shing through his mind.


    "Help me," Pierre replied without hesitation.


    The Mallory family did not need an heir with a crippled leg.


    "Do you really need my help? From what I know, you also know this person. If you want my help, it might cost you tens of millions of dors. But if you handle it yourself, it might just cost a couple tens of thousands," said Abel.


    "Someone I know? Who is it?" Pierre frowned. Although Abel had not spoken, he suddenly had a gut feeling that it was Luca.


    Sure enough, Abel said her name, "Luca."


    "Can she do it?" asked Pierre, but deep down, he did not doubt what he was told.


    He had pinned his hopes on Luca from the beginning.


    When Karen went to talk to Luca, she might have been fooled by that woman. After all, Luca was close to Luke and also knew Nina well.


    Those who were close to them all hated him.


    Therefore, it was not impossible that Luca could have fooled Karen.


    "I have no reason to lie to you. If you don''t believe that Luca can treat you, I can rmend another doctor, but the one I rmend has a strange temper and may not necessarily take you on.


    *Regardless of whether he epts the case or not, you still have to pay me a contact fee of ten million dors." Abel inted his offer, not really wanting Pierre''s money but wanting to cause trouble for Luca.


    She was now Luke''s wornan. Causing trouble for her meant causing trouble for Luke.


    Abel enjoyed the prospect of such a scenario. Hence, he deliberately raised the price to make Pierre reconsider asking Luca to perform dry needling on him.
