Karen's brows could not help but furrow tightly.
Who would have thought that it would be Luca... She was someone who had a grudge against the
Mallory family.
Karen did not have to think about it. She knew Luca would not agree to help Pierre fix his leg
regardless if she or Old Master Mallory were to ask her.
Unless it was Percy who asked for help.
Still, how could Percy possibly help...?
Karen refused to believe it was true. "Are you still at that nurse's place?"
"Yes." The man glanced at the trembling nurse in the corner.
"Don't hang up. Ask her about the things Luca has done before." Karen still could not believe Luca had
such capabilities.
Someone who had such skills could have a promising career as a doctor. Why did she become a
pharmacist?
Karen did not fully understand Luca's pharmaceutical expertise as she thought she was only a
pharmacist.
When it came to career choices in the medical field, many people tended to lean toward becoming a
doctor instead of a pharmacist.
The person on the other end of the call followed Karen's instructions and began questioning the nurse,
"What has she done at the hospital?"
The nurse trembled in fear as she looked at the knife the man was holding. She was afraid that not
telling the truth might harm her. Hence, she talked about the patients Luca had saved in the hospital in
a low voice.
Karen, who was on the other end of the line, complained unhappily, "Her voice is too soft. I can't hear
anything."
The man on the phone waved his knife and yelled at her, "Did you hurt your throat? Speak louder."
The nurse knew that the man was only following instructions. He was working for the person who was
on the other end of the line.
Even though the nurse felt bad for Luca, her life came first. Hence, she mustered her courage, raised
her voice, and recounted all the things Luca had done on the hospital's VIP floor.
Karen listened intently, tightly gripping the phone.
Luca actually knew special dry needling methods and had used them to save patients with nerve
damage...
Pierre's leg had nerve damage too. If she could perform dry needling and assist him with physical
therapy, the chances of his leg recovering would be much higher.
After the nurse finished revealing everything, she said with a trembling voice, "I've told you everything
Ms. Craw has done. She's proficient in pharmacology and dry needling. Our hospital's doctors think
highly of her..."
The man asked a question Karen was curious about, "If she's so skilled, why isn't she a doctor in your
hospital?"
The nurse shook her head, looked at the sharp tip of the knife, and said, "I don't know. Dr. Park once
wanted to invite her to join us as a special doctor in our hospital, but Ms. Craw declined the offer.
"Also, she wanted it kept confidential about how she had saved the patients by performing dry
needling. I don't know who you are, but I've told you everything I know. You must keep it a secret for
me. I could lose my job if it gets out."
The man listened to the nurse and asked Karen on the phone, "Madam, is there anything else you'd
like to ask?"
Karen frowned. The noise from the bathroom had lessened. She reckoned that Silas had finished
shaving. Then, she said, "Ask her if she's close with Luca.”
"Are you close with her?" the man asked the nurse as per Karen's instructions.
The nurse shook her head repeatedly. "No, I'm not familiar with her. I don't even have Ms. Craw's
contact information..."
She was on the verge of tears. She had revealed everything she knew, yet the man had not left.
Was he really going to harm her?
Karen let out a cold snort when she heard what the nurse said. She knew the nurse was not lying to
her subordinate. "Fine. Leave now."
"Don't tell anyone about what happened today, or I'll come looking for you." The man brandished the
knife and warned the nurse. He then stowed the knife in his backpack, turned around, and left.
The nurse shivered as she watched the man leave. It took her a while to pull herself together.
Should she tell Luca about what happened today?
However, the nurse dismissed the thought immediately.
She knew revealing Luca's actions to others would cost her job.
She was only able to work as a nurse in the VIP ward because of her degree and nursing experience. If
she moved to another hospital or department, she would not enjoy such good treatment.
The nurse shook her head. She decided to shoulder the fear and keep today's events to herself.
As for Luca. The nurse had no connection with her. She felt no guilt as she thought about what the man
said earlier.
After Karen ended the call with the man, it did not take long for the two men to come out of the
bathroom while holding Silas.
Silas's head was still wet, but at least his hair was no longer greasy. Karen felt relieved and found it
more comfortable to look at him.
"Madam, do we need to dry his hair?" asked the man.
"No need." A trace of disgust flashed across Karen's eyes. She looked at Silas' swollen face and
asked, "Have you been applying ice to his face? Why is his face still so swollen after two days?"
One of them immediately answered, "Madam, we've been consistently applying ice. It's already
reduced a bit. It'll probably go down in a few days."
"That's too slow," Karen said, feeling dissatisfied.
The other man was left with no choice. He dared not to say anything and was feeling frustrated.
It was not that they were slacking off. They had been applying ice to Silas' face about once every hour.
However, the doctor warned them against applying ice on his face for too long, or it would slow down
the healing process of the skin.
They wanted Silas to recover quickly so that they could get this monotonous task over with.
However, when Karen slapped Silas across his face, she had gone all out and shown no mercy. That
was why his face ended up so swollen.
"I don't care what method you use. Get a doctor over here or shove his face in an ice bucket. Just
make sure his swelling goes down quickly." After that, Karen left.
After Karen left, one of the men let out a sigh. "It's not that easy..."
"Indeed." The other man kicked Silas' leg and said, "Come on, shape up a bit. Get the swelling down
quickly and we can all be free. You can go back too."
Silas refused to believe what they said about him going back.
He believed that once his face healed, he would have to go to the media to clarify the truth. After that,
he would be secretly dealt with in the end.
He heard that the Ruiz family had done such things many times before.
Back then, the Ruiz family was pretty arrogant.
Now, more than 30 years had passed, and the Ruiz family would have become more arrogant...
Silas shivered for a moment and mumbled, "Bro, it's not that I don't want to go back home. I really want
to, but that woman..."
"Which woman are you talking about?" One man raised his hand in a threatening manner.
"No, no, it's your madam. She went too hard on me. My face still hurts like hell today." Silas could not
get any tears out. He got quite a fight from the man's fake moves.
