At night, only the Emergency Department in the hospital was still taking in patients.
Both Pearl and Ethan were both on duty that night. Pearl could have left earlier, but Dr. Wale wanted her to have a look of a thesis. So she decided to stay longer in the hospital.
The new semester at the University had already started. Pearl had just got the job and there hadn't been any students enrolling in her class yet. But the director of the department estimated that she would be dazzled by the number of students who would select her class next year.
Just then, her phone suddenly rang.
It was from the nurse, Eva. "Hello?" Pearl said.
"Dr. Yonng, are you still here in the hospital?"
"Yeah, what's going on?"
"Great," Eva sighed in relief. "You may have to come to the Emergency Department now. There is a little girl whose knee is injured. Her bone is dislocated as well."
Frowning, Pearl asked: "Isn't Dr. Louise there? And I think you should look for the doctors of Orthopedics Department."
"Dr. Davis of the Orthopedics Department left as he had something to deal with at home. Dr. Louise was supposed to settle it as it's not a big deal, but he was slapped by that girl."
"Huh? What? Slapped? Ethan Louise?" Pearl thought she had misheard.
"Please come over now, Dr. Yonng."
Pearl immediately hung up the phone and went to the Emergency Department.
It was rare to see such a lively scene.
At that moment, the Emergency Department was as busy as usual. There were many people injured or got sick at midnight.
As Pearl arrived there, Ethan was holding an ice bag to his face. He was talking angrily with the girl, with a group of nurses next to him trying to calm him down.
"Where are your manners? I'm a doctor. If you're unhappy with my treatment, why did you come here?"
The girl with a pair of beautiful eyes, Elaine, was wearing a blue basketball suit. She looked only about sixteen years old, with braids in her hair. Colourful ribbons were tied to her hair with a small bell.
"I've never seen such a lecherous doctor like you. I said I wanted a female doctor. Why did you put your hands on my friend's body and try to touch her everywhere?" Elaine said.
"Touch her everywhere?" Ethan immediately became anxious, "You have to give evidence when you say such things. You can't just spout nonsense!"
"Dr. Louise, calm down." The nurses hurriedly pulled him, afraid that he'd do something rash.
But Elaine wasn't willing to back down, "Why, do you still want to fight? Is this how you treat patients as a doctor? What kind of garbage are you? Bah!"
There were many people in the hall. When they heard this, they showed Ethan with disdain.
Seeing this, Pearl walked over quickly and stopped in front of Ethan. "What's going on here?" She asked.
Eva looked at Pearl as if she had seen a life-saver. She said hurriedly, "Dr. Yonng, you're finally here. It's just that the girl's friend had suffered some injuries. Please take a look."
"Just let her go to another hospital." Ethan huffed.
"Enough. Shut up, you." Pearl warned Ethan. "You can't keep this job if you really managed to make a fuss."
