Larry looked at his brother with a disappointed look on his face.
Keith was not bothered about it. He walked toward Nina and sat down beside her.
Nina did not look up. She moved to another empty seat beside her.
Keith noticed it and did not lean in closer to her. He continued to talk to her, “Hey, my brother is seriously injured. Your brother will have to go to prison if we make a big deal out of it."
"Don't worry. We'll take responsibility for this." Nina lowered her head. Although she was stubborn, she was secretly praying for Tyrone and hoping that he would be fine.
"Of course. Your brother will have to pay for the medical bills and compensate Tyrone as he won’t be able to work during this period. But I think we should discuss how to handle this and how much you have to pay. Do you get me? Although the one in the operating room is my cousin, I'm the only educated person in the whole family. Everyone listens to me, so I'll be the one in charge of this matter." Keith hinted at Nina, telling her that he had the right to deal with this matter.
Nina was not dumb either. She knew what Keith meant, but she refused to answer him.
Keith stroked his chin when Nina remained silent. He thought it was humiliating, but he refused to give up so easily.
Keith thought that if anything happened to Tyrone, Nina and her family would have to bear the responsibility for the rest of their lives.
No matter how reluctant this woman was, he would eventually get her.
"Of course, I hope my brother will be alright. Uh, why don’t I get your contact details? If there’s anything we need to discuss after this, I can give you a call." Keith took his phone out and opened his QR code,
thinking of sending Nina a friend request.
"You can have my secretary’s contact details. And you can call him if there’s anything else you need," Percy trotted toward them and said with a cold face.
It was quiet at night in the hospital, especially in front of the operating room.
Percy could hear Keith hitting on Nina the moment he walked out of the elevator.
Percy knew Nina would ignore such men, but he was still mad about it. How dare these men try to flirt with his woman?
Keith lifted his head and looked at the man who suddenly came out of nowhere. He frowned and asked, "Who are you? Are you that bastard's relative?"
Nina looked at Percy who rushed here. He was all travel-worn and weary with some frost on him. She stood up and walked toward Percy. She held Percy's hand. His hand was not warm but it gave her strength.
Percy lowered his head and looked at her. He stroked Nina's hair gently and said to Keith, "I'm her fiance. Let me handle this."
Keith narrowed his eyes while sizing Percy up.
Percy looked familiar, but he was not of the same social status as Keith. That was why Keith could not remember who he was at that moment.
However, judging from Percy's aura and his looks, his clothes, as well as the watch he was wearing, Keith knew that he was a wealthy man...
Keith was a little disappointed. There was no way Nina would fall for him if she had a boyfriend like him.
However, the man had told him that they could look for him if anything happened. That would indicate that an easy mark had come to them himself.
Although Keith did not manage to get the woman, it seemed pretty good to have this man shoulder the responsibility. Keith was secretly rejoicing as he said, "Since you said that you'll be responsible for this matter, then just give me the contact details of the person you told me just now. Don't even think of running away from this. It was her brother's fault."
Percy turned to look behind him.
His assistant hurried toward him and handed him the key. "Boss, I've parked your car."
Percy's assistant had been working overtime with Percy at the office. Percy dragged him along to the hospital when he received Nina's message. Percy could not wait to get out of the car the moment they reached the hospital. He asked his assistant to park the car and ran into the hospital in such cold weather.
"Give him your name card." Percy kept it short and simple.
The assistant took the business card holder out of his pocket and took out his name card. Then, he handed it to Keith. "Sir, please contact me if there's anything else you need after this." copyrighted © content.
Keith glanced at the name card and lifted his head after he found out Percy's identity.
Keith could not help but smile. An easy mark, indeed. It looked like it was the right choice for Tyrone to get into a fight.
"Alright. I'll look for you. You'll have to compensate my cousin and be held liable if anything happens to him." Keith kept the name card carefully and strolled to Larry's side.
Larry looked at his brother. He frowned and asked, "Who's that man over there?"
"Larry, Tyrone didn't get injured for nothing this time." Keith took the name card out of his pocket and showed it to Larry.
Larry relaxed his furrowed brows once he saw the name card. He had planned on making a fortune no matter what happened to Tyrone in the operating room. However, when he noticed that Nina was just a white-collared worker, he was worried that she would not have that much money. It would be difficult for him to blackmail her.
He did not expect she had such a big shot behind her. They could celebrate New Year's happily this time!
"Keep the name card. Don't lose it." Larry reminded Keith.
“I won't. I'll take a photo of it too," said Keith. He picked up his phone and took a photo of the name card.
Even if they lost the name card, he would still have the secretary's contact details on his phone.
Nina frowned when she heard the conversation between the two brothers.
She had only thought of asking Percy to keep her company when she asked him to come over. After all, these men did not look friendly to her.
She did not expect Percy to take up the responsibility. It was Jean who messed things up. Percy had nothing to do with it.
Nina squeezed Percy's hand.
Percy was able to understand what Nina was thinking about with just a small gesture and without any words after being together with her for years. He lowered his head and looked at Nina gently, a far cry from how was usually cold to others.
"It's alright. Leave it to me," said Percy. Even though it was Jean who caused this trouble, how could Percy let Nina bear this alone?
"You don't have to take up the responsibility," Nina said in a soft voice.
"It's alright. I don't want you to see you tired." Percy put his arms around Nina and hugged her. "You must be sleepy. Why don't you go home and get some rest?"
Nina shook her head. "I'm waiting for his operation to end. I'm still a little worried."
Jean would have murdered someone if the person in the operating room could not survive the operation. Even if Tyrone's family took the money from them, Jean would still have to carry the legal responsibility.
"Alright." Percy nodded.
"Dr. Park is pretty good, right? He'll be able to bring that man back to life." Nina comforted herself while she held Percy's hand tightly.
Percy's hand was getting warmer.
"Yes. He's good," said Percy. He seldom praised anyone, but he was genuinely impressed with Johann's medical skills.
Nina nodded and leaned on Percy's shoulder as they waited for the operation to end.
She could not imagine how Anna would freak out if Jean was thrown into prison again.
