Nina noticed the worry in his eyes and said softly, "Are you struggling with what to do with Pierre?"

Percy looked at her. After she was rescued, she no longer resisted him. Her tenderness was hard-won as the price was for her to experience those terrible things.

He would rather she did not experience them and for her to see his love for her bit by bit through his hard work so that it would hurt her a lot less.

"No, don't read into it." Percy put his hand on her forehead and removed it only when he felt that her temperature was normal.

"Don't lie to me. Pierre is your younger brother. If you go after him for my sake, you won't be able to explain it to your family. Since I've woken up, your phone has rung three times and you didn't answer a single call. It's someone from the Mallory family who's calling you, no?" Nina hated Pierre, and she did not want to let the matter slide.

However, she could not deal with this mad man alone. She could only do it with Percy's help...

If Percy stood on her side, however, he would be fighting against a whole lot of people. She could not bear to let Percy face something as such.

She blamed herself for everything. If she had accepted Percy's feelings for her and his protection, Pierre would at least have his scruples and not do anything to her.

"It has to do with the company." Percy tucked her in and reassured her. "Don't read into it."

Nina knew that he was saying this only because he did not want her to feel guilty, so she nodded. She knew that no matter what she said, it would not change Percy's decision.

She was incapable of fighting against Pierre, but Jean...

Nina lowered her gaze slightly. She was unwilling to forgive Jean after she learned from Pierre that Jean had worked with him to lie to her so that she would show up at the bar... ...
