Mysterious Mr.Richard novel Chapter 1

Before the emergency room of Kityall City.

The red light, which was turned on three hours ago, finally went out.

Pearl walked out. She removed her surgical mask and gloves, throwing them into the trash can.

The assisting doctor handed her the liquid soap and said, "Dr. Yonng, the patient is so lucky to have you as his doctor, for he would have died, If  someone else was in charge of this surgery."

Pearl pressed the bottle and got some liquid soap. While rubbing her hands, she said solemnly, "Keep a close eye on the patient's condition, especially his—"

Before she finished her words, her eyes were caught by a nurse running along the corridor. Then her smile faded.

In the emergency department, everyone was well trained to be still. So it must be very urgent for her running.

Pearl did not have time to continue the talk. She washed the foam on her hands quickly and strode towards the emergency room with water dropping from her hands.

When Pearl opened the door, she happened to hear the chatting among some nurses .

"Another emergent case?"

"Well, we just got an unconscious patient.  And they even called the hospital dean, Dennis."

"Who is so important to get the dean's attention?"

"Richard!"

Richard?

Pearl held her breath.

"It must be him. Do you know another Richard here? I heard he was in a bridal shop with his fiancee before he fainted..."

All of a sudden, Pearl could no longer hear any word. Her heart was pounding in the chest and a dull pain was growing.

"Dr. Yonng? Great! Come, come, check this patient."

The nurse was monitoring the patient's vital signs. When she saw Pear, a quick smile showed up on her face and she handed her the blood test report immediately.

But the nurse neglected her pale face.

"Dr. Yonng, his white blood cell count is rising, but the blood sugar level is low, so we injected some glucose to him. We think it could be acute gastritis."
