Johann's words were not difficult to understand. Nina knew that Jean would be mostly fine as long as he survived this.

"Thank you." She thanked him. "Oh, give me the receipt. I'll transfer the money to you."

"I've already sent the receipt to Percy," Johann said. It was the same no matter if he sent it to her or Percy.

Nina nodded and said nothing.

Johann said, "Jean was lucky this time around. He was beaten, but they didn't hurt any of his vital organs."

"Those people are used to beating up others. They have experience and won't beat people to death," Nina said.

"Yeah, but he was beaten so much that he didn't even have the strength to ask for help. He just lay in the snow. If he still had the strength, he would have hallucinated and taken off his clothes. He didn't because he was beaten up so badly that he lost all his strength. I heard that he moved the garbage and placed it in front of him to shield him from the wind. However, when the medical staff arrived, he was half-covered by snow. Fortunately, the snow last night was not heavy. Otherwise...." Johann hesitated.

If the snow last night was a bit heavier or if those gangsters had not beaten him up so badly and he still had a little bit of strength, maybe he would be dead.

"He's lucky." Nina smiled weakly. "Dr. Park, you mentioned that bad people would cause trouble for others. Is this what you meant?"

She hated Jean, but when she knew what had happened to him, she could not help herself from caring.

She was even worried that he would die.

Nina hated this feeling so much. It consumed her affection, sticking to her like a band-aid that she could not get rid of.

"Don't say that." Johann knew about what had happened to her.

Her brother was a troublemaker.

Nina's mother was eccentric. She was biased and forgot about righteousness as soon as money was involved.

To get money from Nina, even though she could be discharged from the hospital, she still opted to stay in the hospital as if it was free to be hospitalized.

Johann was speechless toward Nina's family members.

Percy went over and asked, "What's up with Jean?" "It's not a big problem. We just need to get his body temperature up and have him hospitalized for two days. This is for you." Although Johann had sent photos of the documents to Percy, he still had to give him the physical copy of the receipt.

After all, he would need it when he admitted Jean to the hospital.

Percy took the receipt and stuffed it into his pocket without looking at it.

"It'll probably take another half an hour. Wait here. When the doctor comes out, a nurse will take you through the formalities," Johann said as he glanced at the time. "I have another operation to attend to. I'll have to head off now."

"Thank you, Dr. Park," Nina thanked him.

Percy nodded at him too.

After Johann left, Nina looked at Percy and said, "You've been busy recently. There's nothing for you to do here. I'll be fine here alone. You can go."

"I'm staying here with you." Percy did not plan to leave.

"You can't leave your job because of such a small thing. Your colleagues will be dissatisfied." Nina was worried about him.

Although the Mallory family had not publicly said that they supported Pierre, there were some rumors. Many were waiting for Percy to be fired.

Regardless, he was still the CEO of Mallory Corporation. He had to do what the CEO should do. He had to avoid others picking on him.

"It's okay. I'll just ask my assistant to send me the documents that need to be processed via email later." Percy was worried. He did not want Nina to stay in the hospital alone.

He could put work aside for Nina.

Nina frowned. Percy had done enough for her, so she did not want to see him sacrifice more for her.

"But..."

Percy's phone rang before she could finish her sentence.

"Answer the phone first," she said.

Percy glanced at his phone and found that it was his assistant calling. He had no choice but to answer.

"What's up?"

"Boss, when will you arrive at the office? There's a last-minute meeting that you need to attend," the assistant asked. This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

"It can't be postponed?" Percy frowned. He did not expect to be dragged into a meeting at this hour.

He did not feel at ease leaving Nina to deal with Jean's affairs alone in the hospital.

"It can't be postponed. It's about the collaboration with Party B..." The assistant heard Percy's tone and could not help but speak softly. He wondered if he was disturbing the boss.

"I see." Percy hung up.

Nina smiled, shook her head, and said, "Your work is important. You should go attend to it."

"But you..."

"Jean's life isn't in danger. I've dealt with this kind of thing a fair few times. I'll be fine," Nina reassured him that she was capable of handling such small matters.

Jean had caused trouble many times. Occasionally, when Percy was busy, she would go to the hospital to deal with it first.

Speaking of which, it was ironic that she had so much experience dealing with such incidents.

"Okay, if you need anything, just call me and I'll come right over." Percy hugged her and planted a kiss on her forehead.

Nina felt a warmth on her forehead. However, the hottest thing was the gaze of others.

They were all looking at them.

Nina pushed him gently and said, "You should get going."

"Yeah." Percy stood up, left the emergency room, and rushed to the parking lot. He was still worried about leaving Nina there alone. He was concerned that the Mallory family might make a scene if they found out that Nina was in the hospital alone.

He called Luke when he thought of that.

"What's the matter?" Luke answered the call. He skipped the small talk.

"I need Luca to do me a favor," Percy said. "Jean is injured, and Nina is now alone in the hospital. I have an impromptu meeting that I need to attend. I'd like Luca to watch over her."

"I'll let her know," Luke agreed without hesitation.

"Thank you," Percy thanked him.

After Luke ended the call with Percy, he called Luca but no one answered. He guessed that Luca must have left her phone in the office and she was in the laboratory.

As such, he called Zoey Davis.

"Please have Ms. Luca return to her office and give me a call," Luke said.

"Okay, Boss," Zoey replied. She then hung up the phone to go inform Luca.

Luca returned to her office and saw that there was a missed call from Luke. She called him back. "Mr. Crawford, Ms. Davis said you were looking for me?"

"Jean is injured, and Nina is alone in the hospital now. You should go check in on her. Percy asked you to watch over her," Luke relayed Percy's words.

"Okay, I'll rush to the hospital now," Luca agreed.

"Let Warren take you. I've informed him. He's waiting in the parking lot now." Luke had asked Warren to wait in the parking lot when Zoey went looking for Luca.

"Okay, I see." Luca hung up the phone, took off her white robe, put on her coat, and left in a hurry.
