Chapter 1878

The two words said by the police scared Jean and diminished his arrogance. The food in his hand fell back onto his plate.

He fumbled about and asked Nina, "Tyrone is dead?”

“You injured him so badly. Even the glass was smashed into his head. What did you think would happen?” Nina got mad when she saw Jean's terrified expression. She had never asked for him to be rich. Actually, as long as he took things seriously, he would not have a problem earning enough for his living expenses. However, he had disappointed her. "What's wrong? Are you scared now? Why didn't you think of the consequences when you smashed his head so forcefully back then?"

Suddenly, Jean's eyes became red. Tyrone was dead. Even if he was willing to pay the compensation, he would not be able to escape from the law...

"It wasn't my intention to hit him so hard. It was Marie. She kept inciting me.” Jean wanted to push all the blame on Marie.

Nina got even angrier when she saw Jean's childish behavior. He even mentioned Marie. "Marie had let you down in the past, so why can't you be more mature now? Just because she incited you, you had to go along with it? If Marie asks you to commit suicide, will you blindly do so as well?"

Jean could not be bothered about Nina's lecture. He was only thinking about how he could not afford to be imprisoned. He held Nina's hand. "Nina, I'm your brother. I can't go to prison. You must look for Percy and help me out of this situation. From now on, I won't get involved in anything related to Marie. I'm your brother, and our mother is still expecting me to get a job to cover her living expenses! I can't go to prison now."

He had once tasted life in prison, and he did not want to experience it again.

The other patients in the ward watched this scene, and none of them made a single noise.

As Nina was talking, her eyes turned red. "You'd better pray hard that Tyrone is alright. Otherwise, I'm afraid even Percy won't be able to help you out."

Jean was dumbfounded and looked at her. "What do you mean? Are you saying he's not dead yet?"

"He's in the ICU now. We have yet to know what's going to happen in the future. I'm guessing that the police will be here to question you in a while more. You should be more alert.” Nina coldly took her hand away and turned around to leave.

"Nina, Nina!" Jean was afraid to face the police. After all, Tyrone was still in the ICU.

Later when the police showed up, he would definitely be sent to an isolation ward. However, that ward was not the luxurious type and was more of a place of torture.

Jean was not willing to go through that and wanted to get Nina to hire a good lawyer to settle this issue.

However, Nina did not turn around and immediately left the ward.

Jean was disappointed. He wanted to get out of bed to stop her, but the pain in his leg was unbearable. He wanted to get out of bed but could not do so.

After Nina left Jean's ward, she took a deep breath and walked toward Anna's ward.

Anna had always thought that Jean had a bright future ahead, but ultimately, he was the one who destroyed his own future. owns all content.

'And all of this has to do with Anna's pampering...'

Nina entered Anna's ward.

At that moment, Anna was having her breakfast with the nurse's help. She looked sideways at Nina when she saw her coming into the ward and did not say a word.

The nurse beside her greeted Nina warmly. "You're here, Ms. Nina."

"Yeah." Nina nodded and looked at Anna, who was looking back at her with a cold expression. She felt bitter deep in her heart, but she would never express it.

That was because Anna would not listen to whatever she said and would not understand her feelings.

Between Nina and Jean, she was just someone Anna asked for money from.

Nina looked at Anna, who would not even spare her a glance. She thought perhaps the latter was still mad at her for withdrawing the additional cash from the bank account.

However, she would not apologize for it as she was not at fault.

Nina sat on the chair and waited for Anna to finish her breakfast.

Seeing that Nina was staying, Anna intentionally slowed down her eating pace.

However, no matter how slowly she ate, she would eventually have to finish it.

After Anna was done eating breakfast, the nurse then cleaned up the cutleries. Nina then spoke to end the silence, "Jean got himself involved in a crime yesterday."

This was her very first time talking to Anna after so many days.

Anna could not help but reply when she heard Nina's words, "Why are you talking about Jean? He's your brother. Oh, so now that you're together with a rich man, do you think so highly of yourself that you're not going acknowledge your own brother? Is that so?"

Nina took a deep breath. Anna and Jean just thought that since she had gotten together with Percy, it was only right that she improve their lifestyle as she no longer needed to worry about food and clothing.

'They said Voldemort is scary, but having such a brother is quite scary too.'

Anna added when Nina did not respond, “If you have what it takes, then don't acknowledge me as your mother. From now on, we'll just be strangers!"

"Are you sure about that?" Nina clenched her fists as she did not wish to quarrel in public.

However, Anna's attitude made her utterly disgruntled.

Anna got a little scared when she saw Nina's reaction. However, she did not think that Nina could really disregard her, so she was stubborn and said, "Yes. After all, I don't have such an unfilial daughter like

you!"

"So you're saying that without me, Jean can afford to pay for all of your medical fees?" Nina got up and looked at Anna from above.

She had long ago been disappointed with Anna.

"At the very least, your brother is not as heartless as you are. Besides, he used to study abroad, so he can get any job he wants," Anna said, thinking that her son was the most excellent. Even though he was once imprisoned, it was also because he was framed by Bianca.

"Oh really? If he's that excellent, why hasn't he gotten a job after being released from prison? Why is he still together with a woman like Marie? Why did he disregard everything and beat someone up until that person is disabled? So, this is your good son, huh? If you think he has what it takes to look after

you, then I'll let him take good care of you." Nina initially came over to tell her that Jean had injured someone and might be in deep trouble, so she might not be able to look after Anna in the meantime.

However, after being triggered by Anna, she revealed the entire incident.

Anna looked at Nina, astonished. "What did you say?"

"I said that your good son, Jean, beat up someone after being incited by Marie. That guy is currently in ICU. That guy has yet to get over the life-threatening crisis. Besides, Jean is penniless. He can't even afford to pay for his own medical fees, yet he now has to cover the victim's medical fees. Actually, what you said is right. Your son is indeed excellent. He's really excellent at giving money to other people. Since he's so capable, why doesn't he go to the poverty-stricken areas to help the poor? Why is he here causing so much trouble?" Nina was agitated.

Anna's expression was pale and awful. She shook her head and looked at Nina with a disgusted look. "You terrible woman, you must be lying to me. Why are you cursing my son?"
