Chapter 2905 He Could Not Afford To Offend The Mallory Family
Luca pushed the door open and smiled as she looked at Tommy, who had
knocked on the door. "Yes?"
"Ms. Luca, I can't sleep. Can you read a bedtime story for me?" asked Tommy as
he lifted his head. He had too much fun during the daytime, and the fascinating
marine show during the evening made him too wound up to fall asleep.noveldrama
However, his usual bedtime routine reminded him that it was time to sleep.
Otherwise, he would feel tired at school tomorrow.
After giving it some thought, Tommy went to find Luca, hoping that she could read
him a bedtime story with her gentle voice. It could help him sleep peacefully.
Luca nodded and agreed. She glanced back at Luke, who was sitting on the bed
with a face brimming with unfulfilled desires. She said, "Let me read a bedtime
story for him first."
Luke slowly nodded. His expression was still gloomy, but he had no choice as it
was his son's request.
After all, it was just a bedtime story. He could wait for her.
Luca smiled, held Tommy's hand, and walked toward his bedroom.
Once they entered his bedroom, she picked a new book and began reading.
Luca slowly narrated the story with her gentle voice. Tommy's excited mood
gradually calmed, and his eyes were closing.
Half an hour later, Luca closed the book. As she listened to the rhythmic sound of
the child's breathing, she tucked him in. Then, she rose to her feet and closed the
door behind her.
Luca did not return to the master bedroom immediately. Instead, she went into
Lanie and Rainie's bedroom to check on them. When she saw them asleep, she
walked back to the master bedroom, feeling relieved.
Luke leaned against the bedside, reading his book. Half an hour had gone by, and
he seemed to be in a better mood. Still, when Luca met his dark eyes, she knew
that there was no way she could avoid him tonight.
"Are they asleep?" Luke stood up and walked toward Luca, wrapping his arms
around her slender waist.
"Yes. They're asleep," answered Luca.
As the night deepened, a profound darkness settled in. The very air in the
bedroom seemed to be gradually infused with a whisper of romantic intimacy....
On the other hand, the private hospital was surrounded by a swarm of reporters. If
an ambulance were to come out from inside, a convoy of reporters' vehicles would
surely follow.
Inside the hospital's director's office, Karen stood there with a cold expression on
her face. "What kind of mess have you made? This won't work, and that won't
work either. What do we need to do to get my son out of here?"
The director rushed to the hospital when he received the news. The hospital's
management team, who were aware of the situation, were all present. They knew
that they needed to get Pierre out of the hospital. However, every proposed plan
had been rejected.
Even the plan of attempting to use an ambulance to draw the reporters' attention
could not work, as it would certainly be discovered by the reporters. They
definitely could not take a normal car.
Therefore, half an hour had passed since the news broke out, and Pierre was still
in the hospital ward, unable to be transported.
The director felt helpless when he heard Karen questioning him. If he was not
mistaken, the police would arrive soon.
If the police found Pierre in the hospital, the hospital would also be in trouble.
After all, Pierre's identity was sensitive at the moment. Even though he was not
yet convicted, he remained a suspect in an economic crime.
The hospital would be suspected of hiding information and harboring a suspect of
economic crimes.
"Madam Mallory, don't worry. We're trying to to find a solution," answered the
director as he massaged his throbbing temples.
He had the tenacious Karen on one side, and on the other, the media and the
cops.
Suddenly, he stood up and declared, "In any case, we must get Mr. Pierre out of
here."
After Pierre's condition stabilized, the hospital director suggested that he be
discharged and sent back to the Mallory manor for recuperation. However, the
Mallory family was reluctant to do so, believing that staying in the hospital would
lead to a better recovery for Pierre.
Unable to withstand the Mallory family's influence, he had no choice but to agree.
Now, the Mallory family was pressuring him again to find a solution. He felt
overwhelmed, unable to come up with a good plan.
The management team of the hospital exchanged uneasy glances with each
other. They were at a loss too. Using a normal car to transport him was out of the
question, and an ambulance would not work either. The number of reporters
outside was greater than the number of ambulances they had....
A helicopter was also not an option. Even though it could get Pierre out, it would
draw too much attention. The police would investigate later. If they found anything,
the hospital would be in trouble.
"Director, Madam Mallory, maybe we should hide Mr. Pierre somewhere else,"
suggested one of the personnel in the management team.
The police were about to arrive. They would search the hospital. If the hospital
firmly denied it, the police would not be able to find him. If they could not find him,
all of them would be safe.
"Where?" asked Karen
The person who proposed the idea pondered for a moment. Then, he cautiously
said, "Nowhere is safe to hide. The police will conduct a thorough search. The
safest place might be the morgue..."
"No way!" Karen immediately opposed it when she heard him mentioning the
morgue. "That's where bodies are stored. Are you trying to jinx my son?"
Leaving Pierre in a place full of corpses was not just something she disagreed
with. Even Pierre would be unwilling.
"But that's the least likely place for the police to search now," the man argued. He
thought Pierre pretending to be a dead body there might be safer for him.
After all, the police would not search that thoroughly in the morgue.
"Or..."
The director thought this suggestion made sense and was about to persuade
Karen when a voice of opposition rang out, "No way."
Karen turned around to see Percy standing at the doorway with a gloomy
expression on his face. "How did you get in here?!"
With all the reporters outside, Percy being here would only confirm Pierre's
presence here.
"I disguised myself. The reporters didn't know it was me," replied Percy. He had
expected this. Not only did he not drive his own car, but he also went the extra
mile to disguise himself.
That was why the reporters did not recognize him as Percy Mallory.
"You're not taking Pierre's life seriously by doing this," Karen disregarded what he
said and accused him.
Percy seemed to ignore what Karen said. He walked toward the hospital director
and said, "We can't hide him in the morgue. The police haven't arrived yet, but
they're probably preparing a search warrant."
Once the search warrant was issued, even the morgue filled with bodies would be
meticulously checked.
It was not that the police were targeting the Mallory family, but Pierre had escaped
for a while now, and they were growing impatient. Moreover, with the ongoing
media coverage, this incident would further infuriate the public. It would lead to
increased police efforts.
If Percy guessed it correctly, there were undercover officers among the reporters
outside.
As Percy said that, the hospital director and a few management personnel looked
troubled at the same time.
In that case, it would be difficult to hide Pierre. No matter where they placed him,
the police would likely find him.
After all, this was a hospital, not a private space with secret rooms that outsiders
were unaware of.
"So, what shall we do?" The director ran out of ideas. Hence, he could only look at
Pierre
He could not afford to offend the Mallory family.
As for the police, he could not afford to get on their bad side either. If public
opinion got skewed against them, would the hospital still be able to treat patients?
In order to provide superior service to the wealthy, they hired professional doctors
and nurses, which led to significant monthly expenses in terms of salaries. If this
situation blew up, they would lose many patients, and the hospital would soon
struggle to make ends meet...
