Karen was secretly wondering whether she should redirect her subordinates to investigate the expenses incurred when the patient was hospitalized. This way, she could trace the funds directly and find out more about the person who got into a conflict with the patient.

There was a slight flutter in her thoughts.

Susan remained composed, sipping her coffee and observing Karen's changing expressions.

She was aware of Pierre's broken leg and knew that Karen's thoughts were now leaning toward him. As an heir destined to end up with a limp, Pierre held little significance. It explained why Karen was so anxious to find someone to treat him.

"Madam Mallory?" Susan softly reminded her when she noticed Karen was deep in thought. "What's on your mind?"

"Nothing. I was thinking about what you said earlier. Madam Crawford, thank you for reminding me," replied Karen. Even though Susan could not offer much help in this matter, she did play a certain role.

"Don't mention it. Even if I hadn't mentioned it, you would've figured it out yourself," said Susan. Something crossed her mind when she saw Karen in such a state.

It seemed that Karen was genuinely interested in Luca.

Otherwise, she would not have inquired about her.

If Luca had the ability to help Karen treat Pierre, her relationship with the Mallory family could become even closer in the future.

Susan felt uneasy at the thought of this. She thought Luca was just an ignorant woman relying on men to climb up the social ladder. What made her think that she could rely on the Crawford family and still seek support from the Mallory family?

However, Susan kept rational and stopped herself from spilling anything. She knew that once she said it out loud, it would mean acknowledging the relationship between Luke and Luca.

Susan suddenly felt magnanimous for going the extra mile to cover up for Luke.

Once Karen's thoughts started to wander, she appeared to be preoccupied. She was no longer as engaged in the conversation.

Her mind was occupied with Pierre's situation, and she had no interest in gossiping with Susan about other matters.

Susan could see Karen was distracted but said nothing. She simply sipped her coffee and eventually told her that she had something to attend to and needed to go home.

Karen let out a sigh of relief. After settling the bill, she saw Susan out. Then, she quickly returned to her car and began making a phone call, instructing her subordinates to change their focus.
