Chapter 171
Stupefied, Simon didn’t anticipate such a request from Pearl.
“Is she… asleep?” His question was rather shocking.
Knowing that Simon was a humorous man, Pearl didn’t say much but rolled her eyes. “She’s in a
vegetative state. Help me save her.”
“Why are you asking for my help for such a simple illness? You can do it on your own, Pearl.”
But Pearl replied absent-mindedly, “I never learned how to do it.”
“What? I was so serious when I taught you. Ugh, you make me so sad…” Simon pretended to be
crying, but it was rather puzzling and helpless for an old man like him to cry.
“Okay, stop crying. I’ll book you a flight an hour later. You’ll arrive in another four or five hours. Hurry
up, or else…” Pearl let out a chuckle. “I’ll never play chess for you again.”
Her threat effectively eliminated Simon’s objections. He promptly stopped his dramatics and agreed,
“Fine, I’ll go and save her… Oh, how you torture an old man like me…”
Although Simon grumbled, he had no choice but to comply. He resigned himself to the situation and
hung up to pack his belongings.
Staring at the doctor nearby, Pearl raised her brows and asked, “Do you believe me now? If not, he’ll
come and prove it himself later.”
The doctor had harbored doubts about Pearl’s confidence but was now convinced after witnessing the
elderly man in the video call. All that was left in him was guilt.
“No, it’s okay… I’m busy. I’ll go now…” Feeling awkward, the doctor didn’t want to stay because he
knew that he would be humiliated due to his inadequacy.
Although he had hoped to learn Simon’s extraordinary medical skills, his dignity and pride compelled
him to leave.
“Alright, bye.” Pearl then glanced at Richard after the doctor had left. “Richard, that old man will come
later, and your mother will be okay.”
Richard nodded, comforted by her words.
Simon came very fast and arrived four hours later, dragging a large piece of luggage to the hospital.
“Where is she, Pea?”
When Pearl saw Simon, she frowned. “Why are you wearing those ugly clothes again?”
Simon looked hurt as he pouted. “No, they’re not ugly. A local old lady said they made me look
energetic. It looks like our tastes are different.”
“Fine, put your things down and examine the patient’s condition first.”
Pearl stepped aside and let Simon go to Susan.
Simon’s expression turned serious the moment he started his examination. He leaned over and
carefully assessed Susan’s b*dy, inspecting her neck, hands, and wrists. All traces of his usual smiles
had disappeared. novelbin
“What do you think?”
“It’s alright. It’s easy to cure her, but it’ll take some time.”
Speechless, Pearl asked, “Why did you frown then?”
“I’m just sad because I’ll have to stay here for a few days.” Simon’s mood soured. “I’d rather be playing
chess. Ugh, I really don’t want to be here. This place reeks of disinfectant.”

His words made Pearl’s l*ps twitch, but she held back her amusement and asked, “Are you going to
treat her or not?”
