Mysterious Mr.Richard novel Chapter 53

The scalpel pressed against her neck and gradually deepened, and her face was becoming much paler.

Pearl said, "Evelina, you know my temper. I would never be nice to you if you didn't apologize. If this scalpel makes a cut on your beautiful face, could you still be an actress?"   

Evelina's heart sank after she heard this, and she said in a panic, "I apologize. I'm sorry."

"Call me 'sister.'"

"I'm sorry, sister." Evelina gritted her teeth and said.

"That's better." Being satisfied, Pearl put down her hand and let her go.

As soon as Evelina was released, she immediately stepped back behind the door and kept a safe distance from Pearl. She covered her neck with one hand and said with anger, "Pearl, you're insane. I'll call the police to catch you and sue you for intentional murder."

"Go ahead." Pearl crossed her arms and raised her chin towards the scalpel on the table. She said calmly, "I've left you all the evidence. The police had better take this blunt scalpel as evidence."

"What? Blunt?" Evelina was stunned. Then she looked at the table.

That scalpel was the prop of the crew and it was hard to cut an apple. It was obviously not the scalpel that Pearl frequently used on the operating table.

"You fooled me?" Evelina was furiously mad.

Pearl pulled out the chair and sat down. "I was just trying to scare you. Since you've apologized, I'll let bygones be bygones. Do you still want to learn?"  

Evelina couldn't wait to slam the door and leave. However, Josie stopped her. "Evelina, you have to learn. The director specifically said that you had to be the one in the scene, and can't find a substitute."

Pearl looked at her with leisure, and Evelina felt bitter, just looking at her. 

"Fine, I'll learn!" She gnashed her teeth in anger, "Get the crew to sign a major personal safety insurance for me. Otherwise the drama would not go on. Who knows when I'll die."

Pearl had always kept her word since childhood. As the the first daughter Anthony, she was the apple of the Yonng family's eye. Not only that, but she was also gifted and was able to do pretty much everything well easily.    

She was always top in the class without extra tutoring. She was good at the piano and art too. What's more, Evelina went to dancing classes since she was young. Pearl just observed one class on her holiday, she could immediately do the steps. Even the teacher could not help but praise her.    

Evelina hated her sister very much. When she was young, she often wrote in her diary that she hoped that Pearl would disappear one day.

That wish finally came true seven years ago. However, she was back again, like a continuous nightmare.

"See? When you're suturing, you'll need both hands."

"..."

"It's not right." Pearl tried to grab Evelina's hand, but Evelina avoided it. Pearl saw that Evelina was trembling, and she looked up to see her face alert.

Seeing her like that, Pearl felt a little guilty suddenly .

She was mad about what had happened yesterday. All she wanted was an apology. She only planned to scare her with the scalpel, but she was really terrified. It seemed that she had a deeper misunderstanding of her.

There was a knock outside. It was a crew member. "Dr. Yonng, the director asked what's going on. If you're almost done, we can try one take."   

"Not yet." said Pearl, frowning at the knot tied by Evelina on the human model.

"Why not?" Evelina was unhappy at what she said. She pushed the props away. "I'm not a professional doctor. Isn't it just for show?"  

She had been practicing all morning and was running out of patience.  

The crew member scratched his head and looked embarrassed.

Pearl hesitated for a second and said, "Ok. Let's try one take, and I'll teach her from the side. Then, we can see what the director wants and practice more."
