Mysterious Mr.Richard novel Chapter 122

They went to a restaurant near the university. It was lunchtime and there were a lot of people. They finally managed to find a table by the window.

After ordering their meals, Jasmine said to waiter, "Sorry to trouble you. Thank you."

"Please wait for a moment."

"I never expected Dr. Morgan to introduce me to you, Dr. Yonng." Jasmine smiled. 

"I didn't either." Pearl's heart was filled with a mixture of emotions.

The meaning of 'unexpected' was completely different for both of them.

Pearl had never expected Jasmine to be Richard's stepmother.

She wanted to get close to the Zellweger family as to investigate the incident that year, which was why she accepted Ethan's suggestion. 

Ethan said that this matter shouldn't be rushed and it was best not to have direct relation with him. Therefore, even Pearl did not know what Ethan was doing.

Hence, when the dean called her at noon, she really didn't know it was Jasmine. 

"I'm relieved that it was you. I approached Dr. Morgan to find a trustworthy person." Jasmine smiled in a friendly manner. "Elaine told me that she mentioned this to you that day, but maybe you did not pay attention to it since she's only a child."

Jasmine's words made Pearl immediately feel it easy to get along with her.

Pearl could not help but compare Jasmine to Richard's mother. Jasmine was rumoured to be the mistress and had a bad reputation. After all these years, the Zellweger family still did not accept her. 

No one would feel comfortable looking at how arrogant Mrs. Zellweger was. In comparison, Jasmine was the obvious choice for any man. 

"At that time, I haven't considered becoming a private doctor. The main reason is that my schedule is packed with hospital matters and school."

She said with courtesy.

"It's okay. A visit once a week is enough. Also, you will need to accompany us if Liam ever wants to go out. Oh, by the way, Liam is my son." Jasmine said. 

Pearl nodded.

Liam had congenital heart disease. All his life, he could only be raised at home like a porcelain doll. 

Jasmine had probably gotten used to it since it had been so many years.

"For the next two days, if you are free, I'll bring you to meet Liam. He is a little afraid of strangers but you don't have to worry."

"Elaine is close to her brother." Pearl smiled as well. 

"Yes. Elaine is very patient with her brother, even though she is ill-tempered."

"She's a good girl."

At that day in the hospital, Elaine was angry at Ethan because her friend was injured. She was anxious but then picked up Pearl's white coat and returned it to her. This proved that she'd been taught well.

As they were chatting, Pearl realised she could hit it off with Jasmine.

Jasmine was a painter who ran her own gallery and taught children to paint. She also loved traveling and photography.

The only hobby that Pearl maintained was photography.

When she was a child, she was a fast learner. She was often praised by her teachers for being talented. However, she had no perseverance.
