Malice flashed across Anna's eyes. She was in a dilemma.

They were being straightforward when they agreed to it. If Nina was the one negotiating with Anna right now, Anna might be able to get more from her.

However, there was a risk that Nina would refuse to give her more money.

Deep down in Anna's heart, she knew Nina had no obligation to look after Jean. It was her who was being stubborn, thinking that Nina should take care of Jean.

There was no turning back this time. It was impossible for Jean to depend on Nina anymore.

Hence, even though Anna thought the amount she asked for was not enough, she chose to sign the contract and get the two million dollars.

"Fine." Anna agreed to it after consideration.

"Okay. The lawyer will be the witness to the contract signing. I'll give you 2.5 million dollars in cash after signing the contract," said Percy. An extra half a million was added to the amount they decided just now.

"Sure." Anna's eyes brightened when she heard that. She did not expect there to be another half a million.

However, Nina was reluctant to do so. When she was about to speak, Luca squeezed her hand. Nina turned around and saw Luca shaking her head. She had no choice but to swallow the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

Nina could not understand why Percy would give Anna another half a million to satisfy her greed.

Anna had never spent two million on her to support Nina since she was young, even after taking into consideration inflation and other expenses.

Percy walked toward Nina and stood beside her when Anna agreed to it.

Luca rose to her feet and offered her seat to him. Then, she said, "Mr. Mallory, take a seat."

"It's okay. You can have the seat." Percy glanced at Nina with his dark eyes. Then, he walked to the caretaker's chair on the bed next to Jean's. He sat down on the chair and waited for his assistant.

A heavy silence fell upon the ward. Only the medical instrument Jean was using was beeping rhythmically.

Half an hour later, Percy's assistant arrived together with Mr. Zac.
