Chapter 1707 Jean Was Discharged From The Hospital

"What happened? What did Luke say?” Nina asked caringly. Ever since she had addressed him

impolitely as Luke in front of Luca, she took it casually after that.

"The cleaning lady couldn't find me and she didn't know what ingredients she should buy. That's

why she tried to reach me through him," Luca explained without mentioning that there was

something wrong with his tone.

Nina remembered that her fridge was empty and there were no ingredients. Naturally, there was

also no cleaning lady who helped her to buy ingredients. She suddenly felt embarrassed.

Nina stood up and said, "That reminds me of my empty fridge. Wait for me. Let me get some

ingredients now.”

“Nina, there's no need to. Let's dine somewhere else.” Luca grabbed her hand. She could feel Nina's

condition after having been medically trained for a long time.

For example, she could feel that Nina's legs could hardly walk now.

Nina nodded when she said that. "Alright. If you're too lazy to go out, we can order takeaway. After

all, there's nothing much to do in the office these few days. Besides, you're still on leave. Let's

experience the fun of being a homebody. "

“Alright.” Luca nodded. She could get along with Nina naturally when she was together with her.

She liked this kind of stress-free friendship.

Nina's phone rang right after Luca said that. She picked it up and glanced at it. Her expression

suddenly changed.

"What's wrong?” Luca asked.

“My brother is being discharged from the hospital.” Nina handed the phone to Luca. “He's getting

discharged today.”

“Isn't it great if he's getting discharged from the hospital? You have one less person to take care of,

and you have one less thing to be burdened with,” said Luca. After all, when Jean and Anna were

staying in the hospital at the same time, Nina had to pay double the amount for caretaker expenses.

“I'd rather spend that amount of money rather than him getting discharged from the hospital.” Nina

was troubled. Once Jean was discharged from the hospital, he would definitely go around causing

trouble. He requested to stay at her place in the message he sent to her, claiming that his body was

still weak and he needed someone to take care of him.

How could she not know about his tricks?

Jean must have heard that she was renting a unit in a high-end apartment, and that was why he

wanted to get a slice of the cake. He did not want to stay in that old house again.

If he really stayed here, he would not have to pay for anything, and he would be spending Nina's

money.

"But he's asking me to let him stay here.” Nina's fingers tapped on the screen quickly as she turned

down Jean's request. “Am I crazy? He shouldn't even think of staying here.”

“Yeah.” Luca nodded. It would only bring misfortune to Nina if Jean stayed here. She disagreed with

it too.

After Nina sent the message, Jean called her not long after that. He yelled at her, “Nina, do you have

any conscience left in you, you b*tch? I donated my liver to our mother. I'm still very weak, and the

doctor wants me to get discharged. Who's going to take care of you if you're not doing it?"

Jean was loud. Even though Nina did not turn on the speaker, Luca, who was sitting beside her,

could hear it clearly.

Nina was annoyed. There was no need for her to be nice to him since he was rude to her. Besides,

she was angry with what Percy had done to her this morning. She had yet to release her negative

emotions. "Why are you yelling at me? You're already an adult. Can't you take care of yourself after

you've recovered from surgery? Did you come to take care of me when I was admitted to the

hospital last time? Am I not doing fine now? Oh, you need someone to take care of you, right? Then

go ahead and look for those girlfriends of yours. Just have them spend our mother's money to take

care of you. I don't have any extra rooms for you here. You're still thinking of staying here? Not a

chance!"

She ended the call right after she said that.

Nina was glad that she listened to Luca last time. She chose an apartment that was more secure and

safe. Now, even if Jean wanted to come in, he would have to ask for her permission. Otherwise, he

would only be standing outside the entrance. It was useless.

Jean would have already brought his stuff and moved in here if she were staying in a normal

apartment.

“Do you have to settle the medical expenses if he's discharged from the hospital?” Luca asked again.

Nina shook her head. “I've put enough money in his account so they can just deduct the money

from it. I've previously asked the doctor too about how long he'd have to stay in the hospital, so I

put a certain amount in. After handling the discharge procedure, there won't be much money left in

the account for him. I'm sick of going to the hospital to visit him. All we did was fight with each

other once I got there. It's annoying.”

Luca knew how screwed up Nina's family was, so Nina made no secret of it and told Luca

everything.

Luca nodded her head. She was suddenly reminded of Marie when she thought of Jean. She asked,

"Oh, I heard that your brother was in a relationship with a woman named Marie before, right?”

Nina looked at her, puzzled. “How did you know about that? Who told you?"

"Previously, Mr. Crawford brought me to his father-in-law's place, which is the Rayne family, to treat

Old Man Rayne. There was a woman named Marie making a scene outside the villa. Mr. Crawford

mentioned her to me, saying that Marie is his wife's elder sister but they have no blood ties. I heard

that she was together with your brother for quite some time," Luca explained. She only wanted to

tell Nina that Marie had got out of prison.

Marie was still the same even after she was sent to prison. Jean was the same too. She was afraid

that both of them would get together again to hurt Nina.

Nina listened to Luca. Although she was curious why Luke would tell Luca so much about Marie, she

did not ask about the details. She nodded and said, "Yes, she was the one who made my brother like

this. And there's my mother too. She used to be avaricious, but she made money using just and

ethical means. But Marie scammed her, stole an apartment unit from my mother, and aborted my

brother's child. Since then, my mother changed into a different person. She thought it was alright as

long as she had money with her. Then, she slowly became like how she is now. She keeps asking for

money from me and never stops spoiling my brother. Sometimes, I wonder if it weren't for Marie,

would my family be able to remain peaceful, even if it's just on the outside? Marie was like a ticking

bomb. She detonated everything in our family and made everyone show their true colors. Tell me,

isn't a family like that scary to you?"

“I'm sorry.” Luca apologized.

“Why are you suddenly apologizing to me?” Nina was confused. She picked up the glass and took a

sip of the juice. “You didn't do anything wrong. It was Marie's fault. She's a liar.”

Luca smiled. Nina had no idea that if she had not brought Marie into Jean's life, Jean would not

have ended up like this today.

Marie was a sinner, but Luca was the one who brought Marie into their lives.

Nina realized it was going to be noontime. She picked up her phone and said, "I'm tired as well.

Why don't we order takeaway today?"

“Sure.” Luca went along with her.

"What would you like to eat?” Nina leaned closer to her. The two of them looked at Nina's phone

together.

"I'm fine with anything. You can order first. I'll pick what I want later." Luca was not picky with food.
