Nina's mother, Pierre, and Madison were all receiving treatment in the same hospital.

After giving it a thought, she asked Johann for a favor.

Considering that she had a connection to Luke, coupled with the fact that Jason and Johann were both her friends, Nina asked him to help check on Madison's condition.

Johann agreed to it.

After finishing his rounds, Johann sauntered toward the psychiatric department while yawning. Before arriving, he saw Pierre walking out with two people trailing behind him while carrying two suitcases in their hands.

'Has he been discharged?'

Johann raised his brows. 'It seems that Luca really knows how to deliver a heavy blow.' Back when Pierre was first admitted, he was in so much pain. After being in pain for two to three days, it seemed that he had returned to normal and could be discharged.

He smiled and walked over. "Mr. Mallory, have you been discharged?"

Pierre knew that Johann was one of Luke's people, so in other words, he was on Percy's side. He just took a glance at him and said through gritted teeth, "Yeah. It's all thanks to you."

"No, no, don't say that. I didn't do anything. I didn't manage to find out what was wrong with your body, but it seems that you can walk freely now and you're fine.” Johann placed both his hands in his pockets. He knew the truth, yet he put on an act as though he was clueless.

Pierre clenched his fists. At this moment, he just felt like beating up anyone related to Luke.

"I'm fine." He snorted.

"But you look a little pale. Are you sure you're alright? Why not stay for one more night?" Johann suggested.

Pierre snorted and continued straight ahead with a darkened expression, ignoring Johann. Since noon that day, he was no longer in pain.

He did not need any more painkillers and had recovered naturally.

It was as if nothing had happened.

Johann shook his head as he watched Pierre leave. He picked up his phone and sent two messages.

The first message was to Luca. [As you said, Pierre recovered today and has been discharged. You should be careful in case he tries to get back at you.]

The second message was to Luke. [Pierre has been discharged. Take good care of your woman.]

After sending both messages, he then continued to make his way to the psychiatric department.

He headed to the nurse's station. Johann frowned and said, “Why are there so many reporters here? Go get the security guards to chase them away."

The matron said with a bitter look, "I've already informed the security guards. Three batches of guards have already come over and chased away these reporters, but they keep sneaking in. They're just like flies. It's impossible to chase them away."

"Is it because of Madison?" Johann asked. He knew long ago that Madison was admitted here.

However, he was not interested in those who had nothing to do with him. If it were not for Sue asking him for this favor, he would not have made his way here.

The matron nodded her head.

The current lifestyle in the city was very stressful, so many would easily have negative thoughts. Hence, there were many patients in this department seeking treatment. However, none of them had ever brought so many reporters here before.

Their department was different than others. Some of the patients here would have their emotions triggered whenever they saw strangers pacing around and suffer a relapse in their illness. This time, due to these reporters who lingered around without any intention of leaving and who were determined to get first-hand information, a few patients had broken down.

Currently, both nurses and doctors were thrown into turmoil. They could not care less about any other things.

Johann turned around and looked at the reporters, asking, "Want to settle this hassle?"

The matron's eyes glittered as she immediately nodded her head. "Of course. Our patients are extremely sensitive. They'll go mad if they see this bunch of reporters."

"Have the Johnstons come over to settle it. Just say there are lots of reporters loitering here. It'll do no good to Madison's privacy and mental health. Tell the Johnstons that the reporters are targeting Madison. This will chase the reporters away. Even if they're not willing to leave, the cops will forcefully chase them away. But if the Johnstons are not concerned about Madison's health, the reporters will continue to stay here." Johann proposed a plan while wondering if it was the Johnstons who plotted this.

After all, the Johnstons were currently being cornered by the Mallory family. It would be worthwhile for them to pull any tricks they could think of or sacrifice someone to protect the Johnston family name.

The matron nodded and said to Johann, "Dr. Park, can you stay back here to help out for a while? I'll go and speak to the Johnston family."

"Alright." Johann nodded and did not insist on following.

He did not need to be personally involved to know the truth. He would just have to rely on the nurses to understand the situation here.

Besides, psychiatry was not his field.

Johann just stood there lazily at the nurse's station and looked at the reporters, preventing them from entering.

Deep in his heart, he was thinking that if these persistent reporters were placed here as part of the Johnston family's plot, then he would really have to take his hat off to them.

When he was staring at the reporters, Tia came out of the elevator. When she saw Johann lazily standing at the nurse's station, she got curious and walked to him. "Johann? What are you doing here?"

Johann was shocked to see her and raised his brows. "I work in this hospital, so of course, I'll be here. But you... Who called you here?"

Tia knew in an instant when she saw his reaction. "Enough. You're here to get some insider information, right?"

"Nonsense. All departments in this hospital welcome me. There's a patient here who's suffering from a disease, so they invited me over to check on them. But now, just look at these reporters. They're

keeping the nurses and doctors here so occupied. Hence, everyone is ignoring me and no one is here to tell me where that patient is. I can only remain standing here, so I might as well stop the reporters from entering." Johann just simply blurted out a reason.

Tia was slightly suspicious. "Really?"

"What about you? Did the Johnston family send you here?" Johann softened his voice. Only the Johnston family could hire a psychologist like Tia.

Even though the Johnston family was in crisis, they could still fork out some cash to pay for Tia's expensive medical fees.

Besides, with so many reporters here, perhaps they could gain valuable insider information if they saw Tia entering the department.

It seemed that the Johnstons were determined to create big waves out of this news and have the Mallory family be in chaos.

"Just keep your mouth shut if you know about it. I have to keep my patient's details confidential." Tia turned a blind eye against him.

Johann burst into laughter. "If you really wanted to keep your patient's details confidential, you wouldn't have walked over so grandly. Now, all the reporters have their eyes on you."

Tia turned around and saw the reporters gathering at the elevator. They were sneakily taking photos of her. "I had no idea that there were so many reporters here. Can't the hospital do any better than this? Why aren't you guys chasing them away?"
