Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle

Chapter 3242 Firmly Standing Up For Nina

*Thank you, Dr. Linwood." Luca could see that the old man did not care about others' opinions. She did not press the issue further.

Knowing she did not need to make up the class, Luca excused herself, claiming she had other matters to attend to. She left the office and asked Warren to drive her home.

When she got home, it was still early, and the kids had not cback from school yet. Luca sat on the couch and sent Luke a message.

Luca: [How do you plan to handle Karen?]

Luke: [We can't go to the police. We'll have to handle it another way.]

Luca understood what he meant by "another way."

Luca: [Handle it as you see fit. With Nina and Mr. Mallory's wedding coming up, it's not a good tto make a big deal out of this.]

Luke: [Got it. I have another meeting. We'll talk more when I get home.]

Luca: (Okay.]

Then, she put her phone down.

She pondered for a moment and decided to continue her research in the study.

Just as she stood up, the doorbell rang.

Aunt Neile went to answer the door and then informed her, "Ms. Craw, Mrs. Mallory is here."

Before Luca could respond, Aunt Neile, remembering the kidnapping incident, added, "It's Ms. Nina."

*Alright." Luca nodded when she knew it was not Karen.

If Karen had the nerve to attack, she certainly would not show up to apologize.

*Aunt Neile, please prepare srefreshments," requested Luca.

*Sure.* Aunt Neile nodded and went to prepare the tea and snacks for Nina.

*Luca, are you alright?" Nina's voice could already be heard even before she entered the room.

Moments later, Luca saw her rushing in.

If it were not for the need to change shoes, Luca was sure Nina would have hugged her by now.

Still, it was close enough.

Once Nina had changed her shoes, she sized Luca up. "Are you okay? As soon as I heard you were kidnapped, I rushed over."

"I'm fine." Luca quickly reassured her.

*Really? I heard there was a knife involved!" Nina's brows furrowed in worry, afraid that Karen might have hurt Luca.

*She did try to hurt me, but Vivian reacted quickly and pulledaside,' Luca explained.

*But I heard someone got hurt. Was it Vivian? How is she? Which hospital is she in?" asked Nina. She had only heard bits and pieces from Percy, who was still gathering details. Update first at NôvelDráma. Org.

"Vivian got a minor injury. It's already been treated at the hospital, and she's hnow. It's not as bad as you think. Don't worry."

Nina let out a sigh of relief. "Thank goodness you're okay. Otherwise...." She trailed off, unable to finish the thought.

Nina was shocked that Karen would go to such lengths to harm Luca and Vivian. Did she not know who they were?!

*But is Mr. Crawford going to the police?" asked Nina. She supported the idea of involving law enforcement. However, Percy mentioned that reporting it could affect their wedding, and Luke would likely consider that and avoid involving the police.

Not going to the police did not mean there would not be consequences.

Actually, not going to the police meant this situation was serious.

*Not going to the police means he'll probably handle it privately." Luca shook her head. "If he did go to the police, it'll definitely affect your wedding with Mr. Mallory,"

"I don't really care. If certain things aren't brought to light, she'll never change. Do you know, Luca, I have two bodyguards followingaround now?" said Nina as she took Luca's hand and sat down. The bodyguards standing outside were arranged by Percy.

Percy said that they had to be extra cautious with the wedding approaching.

He was worried that Karen and Old Master Mallory might try to hurt her to stop the wedding.

Nina thought they would not dare to go too far, considering it was a lawful society.

However, given Karen's unstable mental state, she agreed to keep the bodyguards.

*Mr. Mallory is doing this for your safety," replied Luca, concerned that Nina might be annoyed by the constant surveillance.

Nina was not the type to like being followed around, even after becoming Mrs. Mallory.

"I know, that's why I didn't oppose it. But Luca, you need to be careful too. Even though Percy's mother seems normal now, her emotions are still unstable. The psychiatrist said her outbursts are due to long-term emotional suppression.

*After Pierre returned, she got better, but she stopped taking her medication," explained Nina.

The maid taking care of Karen appeared to be Old Master Mallory's subordinate but was actually working for Percy.

The maid, who oversaw Karen's daily life, was well aware of whether she was taking her medicine. However, she was unable to persuade Karen, so she reported the situation to Old Master Mallory and Percy.

*You should be the one being careful." Luca shook her head. "She used Vivian's safety to threaten me, so I had to perform dry needling treatment on Pierre."

"What?" Nina did not expect something like that. She frowned. "That's so despicable! And given Vivian's strong background, she's really gone mad to do such a thing!"

*Yeah, but they probably won't targetagain for a while. When I performed the dry needling, there were a dozen surveillance cameras on me. They brought in an old naturopathic physician to watch the footage, hoping he can learn from it and treat Pierre," explained Luca.

"That's crazy!" Nina frowned. She thought Pierre should not get better at all.

*They had a plan, and it was all laid out perfectly, but that dry needling technique isn't easy to learn. It won't work if the needle placement is even slightly off. He'll just have to endure those needles for nothing." Luca said with a

smile.

*Does that mean he won't get better?" asked Nina.

"That's right." Luca nodded.

Nina glanced down at her stomach.

She did not want Pierre to recover.

Even now, she harbored a deep hatred for him. Even though she would not have found her true love, Percy, if it were not for Pierre, the past grudges could not be erased.

Hence, Nina hoped Pierre would die! If he could not die, then she wanted him to suffer for the rest of his life! That was what she wished for.

*That's great! Pierre deserves to stay unwell!" murmured Nina.

Luca understood her hatred.

There was no way to ask Nina to let go of her grudge. Anyone in her shoes would feel the sway. Hence, Luca

would not push her to move past it.

Luca said, "Alright, enough about him. Your wedding is coming up soon. Are you nervous?"

"I'm not nervous, just a bit annoyed," replied Nina as she furrowed her brows.

*Annoyed? Why?" asked Luca.

"It's about the jewelry. People here love giving gold and diamond jewelry, right? I thought maybe I could wear less

at the dinner, but Percy insists I wear more to avoid giving the media any fodder for wild speculation," Nina

complained and pouted her mouth.

Luca nodded. "You do need to wear it."

That was the custom here. The more jewelry the bride wore, the more it showed the groom valued the bride. Percy was firmly standing up for Nina, ensuring no reporters would make up stories about her being out of favor.
