Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard) novel Chapter 171

Chapter 171 

Stupefied, Simon didn’t anticipate such a request from Pearl. 

“Is she… asleep?” His question was rather shocking. 

Knowing that Simon was a humorous man, Pearl didn’t say much but rolled her eyes. “She’s in a vegetative state. Help me save her.” 

“Why are you asking for my help for such a simple illness? You can do it on your own, Pearl.” 

But Pearl replied absent-mindedly, “I never learned how to do it.” 

“What? I was so serious when I taught you. Ugh, you make me so sad…” Simon pretended to be crying, but it was rather puzzling and helpless for an old man like him to cry. 

“Okay, stop crying. I’ll book you a flight an hour later. You’ll arrive in another four or five hours. Hurry up, or else…” Pearl let out a chuckle. “I’ll never play chess for you again.” 

Her threat effectively eliminated Simon’s objections. He promptly stopped his dramatics and agreed, “Fine, I’ll go and save her… Oh, how you torture an old man like me…” 

Although Simon grumbled, he had no choice but to comply. He resigned himself to the situation and hung up to pack his belongings. 

Staring at the doctor nearby, Pearl raised her brows and asked, “Do you believe me now? If not, he’ll come and prove it himself later.” 

The doctor had harbored doubts about Pearl’s confidence but was now convinced after witnessing the elderly man in the video call. All that was left in him was guilt. 

“No, it’s okay… I’m busy. I’ll go now…” Feeling awkward, the doctor didn’t want to stay because he knew that he would be humiliated due to his inadequacy. 

Although he had hoped to learn Simon’s extraordinary medical skills, his dignity and pride compelled him to leave. 

“Alright, bye.” Pearl then glanced at Richard after the doctor had left. “Richard, that old man will come later, and your mother will be okay.” 

Richard nodded, comforted by her words. 

Simon came very fast and arrived four hours later, dragging a large piece of luggage to the hospital. 

“Where is she, Pea?” 

When Pearl saw Simon, she frowned. “Why are you wearing those ugly clothes again?” 

Simon looked hurt as he pouted. “No, they’re not ugly. A local old lady said they made me look energetic. It looks like our tastes are different.” 

“Fine, put your things down and examine the patient’s condition first.” 

Pearl stepped aside and let Simon go to Susan.
