Before the caretaker could say anything, the ward door swung open again.

She and Pierre looked toward the door and saw an unfamiliar face. Then, the caretaker immediately stood in front of the hospital bed, trying to cover Pierre's face with her body so that no one would notice who was on the hospital bed.

The person at the door was an elegantly dressed woman whom the caretaker did not recognize.

However, Pierre recognized her. "Mom?"

He sounded surprised. Old Master Mallory said that the mental state of his mother, Karen, was currently very unstable and that he would reach out to a psychiatrist for help. In order to prevent her from getting into trouble, he kept her at home, so Karen never visited him in the hospital.

Thus, Pierre was surprised to see her show up at the hospital.

After hearing what Pierre said, the caretaker stepped aside. Since she was his family member, she would not disclose the news that he had been hospitalized.

Karen impatiently walked to the bedside and looked at Pierre's plastered right leg. Her eyes brimmed with tears. "Pierre, does it hurt?"

Pierre saw her hand approaching to caress him, but he found it weird, so he dodged it.

He was not a woman, so he did not need this kind of sympathetic maternal love. "Mom, why are you here?"

"How can I not show up when you're in the hospital?" Karen's heart ached at the sight of Pierre's thin face.

Old Master Mallory only told her about this huge news yesterday.

Karen could not help but feel heartbroken at the thought of Pierre suffering. How did he even survive during this time?

Not to mention the Mallory family could not even make a police report because they had not found out who was behind it.
