Even the interns could sense that something was wrong. They started whispering.
"Fine, I'll go." Pearl looked at Richard's eyes and replied composedly.
Since he insisted, even in such a way to vent his anger, then she would not say no again.
When they were looking at each other, Richard's eyes got colder than ever.
Pearl's yes didn't make him happy at all.
On the contrary, her calm look made him unhappay.
"Where is Pearl?" A sharp voice echoed in the hospital's corridor suddenly.
……
"Where is Pearl?"
Everyone tried to find the voice. Then they spotted a plump middle-aged woman with a rare Hermes handbag exiting the elevator furiously.
Seeing Pearl, the woman went ballistic. She rushed over and pointed her finger at Pearl's face, cursing "Pearl? The bitch?"
Pearl frowned. "My name is Pearl, but who are...?"
"Smack!"
The woman slapped hard on Pearl's face. Pearl could only swallow what she wanted to say before. The interns gasped. The corridor became quiet.
The burning pain on her cheek reminded Pearl that she was not in a dream. She turned her face to the strange woman unbelievably.
