Luca listened to her and thought of the time when Sue and she were starting their business together back then.
Although it was hard for them, they enjoyed being productive.
When their company's development was getting better and better, as the company's founders, they were allowed to take some
time off to handle their matters.
Luca wanted to turn back time so badly. She wanted to go back to the time when they worked hard together for their company.
[Alright, then you can accompany me tonight. I'll hire a caretaker to look after me tomorrow morning.] Luca was tapping on the
keyboard of her phone screen.
Nina shook her head when she saw that.
Luca was the same as her. They were the kind of people who did not like to trouble others. Still, Luca was much stronger and
more independent than she was.
"Alright. I'll look for a caretaker for you tomorrow. After all, I know who are the best caretakers in this hospital. I'll stay here
tonight, so stop thinking of sending me away," Nina blinked her eyes and said playfully.
Luca nodded.
"Do you still want juice?" Nina asked again.
Luca shook her head and typed. [The juice that Sue made is good. You can have some too. I see that you've lost some weight.]
"I lost weight again? Hehe, really? Don't make fun of me. I think I'm gaining weight these days." Nina pinched her face
intentionally and pretended as if it was nothing serious.
She knew she had lost weight.
She was skin and bones now. It was pointless to lose more weight.
[Drink some.] Luca listened to her and knew that she was merely mocking herself.
She just did not want others to know that she had gotten skinnier.
Nina nodded. "Fine. After all, you won't be able to finish all the juice that Sue made for you. The juice will taste bad once it has
oxidized. I'll have some of it. But to be honest, that's how attentive a mother is. She knew it'd be inconvenient for you to eat now,
so she made juice for you. She's so nice."
Luca nodded.
If meeting Luke was the best thing that ever happened to her in her whole life, then having Nina as her best friend was the
second best thing that happened to her. Although she was staying beside Nina with a different identity now, she had never
forgotten how it felt like to be her friend.
Nina opened the bottle of juice and poured it out into a glass.
Someone knocked on the ward's door when she was about to take a sip of it.
Luca and Nina looked in the direction of the door at the same time. The door was pushed open and Percy came in.
Nina pulled a long face when she saw that it was Percy. “Why are you here?"
Percy replied helplessly when he noticed that Nina seemed to be unhappy to see him as if he was not welcome here. "I came to
visit Dr. Craw."
"Oh? Visit Dr. Craw? Are you that shameless?" Nina was like a porcupine on alert as she glared at Percy. She looked like she
would roll over to him and prick him to death at any moment.
Percy asked helplessly, "Why would I feel ashamed?"
"You should be ashamed because your brother did this. Not only is he pestering me but Luca also ended up like this all because
of him. He's a bastard. And what makes you think that you can show up here shamelessly?" Nina questioned him back.
"It was Pierre who did that, not me. Besides, he's my younger brother. If what he did is considered my fault too, then I'll apologize
to Dr. Craw now. Do you have a problem with that too?" There was nothing Percy could do about this. He was even willing to
take the blame for what Pierre did just to get a glimpse of Nina.
He went as far as taking the blame on behalf of Pierre just to see her.
"Why don't you look for your good brother rather than trying to apologize here? It would be better if you could hand him to the
police. We don't need your insincere apology!" Nina was speaking in an aggressive tone as if the person who kidnapped Luca
was in front of her right now.
Percy looked helpless. It was Pierre's fault, but he was the one getting blamed.
He was willing to take the blame as well, but this woman still treated him so aggressively.
He should be apologizing to Luca, but why was he apologizing to Nina? Besides, why did he want her to accept her apology?
Well, it was because he loved her!
Luca felt like she was a side character when she listened to their conversation. She tugged on Nina's sleeve helplessly and
shook her head.
Knowing that Luca was asking her to forget about it, Nina was unable to accept it.
"Luca, these rich guys are always like this. They'll repeat the same mistakes if you forgive them so easily. And they'll continue to
mess with you. That's why you can't let them get away with these things." Nina put her hands on her hips and released her anger
on Percy. "Percy Mallory, if you really want to apologize to Luca, go look for your brother. Send him to the police and put him in
jail!"
Percy shrugged. "I can't find him anywhere."
Nina thought he was covering up for Pierre, so she raised her voice angrily. "Don't come here if you can't find him. What kind of
sh*tty apology is that? Is this how you apologize?"
Her words were getting on Percy's nerves. Percy replied, "I came to look for Luca yet you're the one who's been talking here. Are
you Luca?"
Nina was startled. How dare he question her instead? She stuttered a little when she recalled how she had been speaking on
behalf of Luca. "That's none of your business. You can't represent the criminal. So, what did you come here for?" "I came to see
you." Percy looked at her straight in the eyes and poured his heart out. "You unfollowed me on Instagram."
"Is there a point in remaining friends with someone who has nothing to do with me?" Nina rolled her eyes when he mentioned
something that she did on purpose. There was a pang of guilt in her heart, though the cause of it was unknown.
"Nina, are you afraid of me? You unfollowed me and didn't even approve my friend request. How dare you?" Percy noticed that
she was avoiding eye contact with him, so he purposely asked that.
Triggering Nina had always worked, but whether it would be a positive outcome or not was a different matter.
Nina raised her voice after listening to what he said. "What nonsense are you talking about? I've never been afraid of you.
What's so frightening about an insufferably arrogant person like you? I should be afraid of your devious and cunning younger
brother instead."
Percy did not feel anything when she mentioned Pierre. Instead, he continued to trigger her. "Fine. Approve it if you're not afraid
of me."
"Why should I approve it? Do I know you?" Nina's pitch went higher and higher.
Their voices grew louder and louder. Luca, who was half-lying on the bed, was watching them. She wondered if she should
advise them. However, she could not talk now, and they would probably ignore her if she typed on her phone.
She should just let them be...
Nina had so many negative emotions suppressed in her. It would be good for her if she took this opportunity to let them out.
Luca thought so and left them to fight with each other.
However, they were so loud that they alerted the nurse at the nurse's station.
The nurse pushed the door, came in, and asked, "What's the matter? Why are you yelling so loudly?"
"Nurse, there's a man who came in to disturb the patient. Get him out of here," Nina seized the chance and said immediately.
Percy lifted the gift he was holding in his hand. "I'm here to visit the patient. You're the one who wants to kick me out. I'm not the
one disturbing others."
