Chapter 201
The surgery room still had its lights on when a doctor exited the room. His expression was grave as he approached Richard.
“I’ve got some bad news. The patient has experienced significant blood loss and is in a state of shock. We suspect that the poison may have already spread throughout his b*dy. Uhm… Please sign this form.”
Richard’s eyes turned icy upon hearing that. “I don’t care what it takes, you must save Hanzel. I won’t sign that, and he must survive this! If anything happens to him, I’ll make sure you quacks pay the price.”
The doctor’s heart skipped a beat, well aware of Richard’s reputation for ruthlessness.
“Okay, we… we’ll try our best,” the doctor stammered before quickly returning to the surgery room.
Richard gazed at the illuminated signboard above the surgery room entrance. Finally, he decided to call Pearl.
“Hanzel’s condition is quite serious. The doctor mentioned heavy blood loss and shock, and the poison might have spread to his whole b*dy. Probably…” He couldn’t bring himself to say the worst-case scenario.
At that moment, Pearl had set aside her conflict with Richard. She leaped out of the bed and hastily put on her shoes. “Tell me where the surgery room is.”
“The one at the far end of the third floor.”
“Okay, wait for me. Ask the doctors to help stop his bleeding before I get there. But please don’t move his b*dy.”
Pearl rushed there as quickly as she could. When she reached the door of the surgery room, she spotted Richard sitting on a nearby bench with his head bowed, lost in thought.
“Has the doctor come out yet, Richard?”
Richard shook his head.
Pearl had more questions, but the door swung open. It was the same doctor, and he looked a little nervous.
“I genuinely want to save him, Mister Richard, but we’ve done everything we can… The poison has gotten worse, and we can’t stop his bleeding at all…” Eagerly, the doctor asked, “Why don’t you guys sign the form first?” He trembled nervously as he spoke.
Pearl went over and asked, “Does your hospital have enough herbs?”
The sudden question stunned and confused the doctor. “Herbs?”
“Yeah, herbs.”
The doctor raised his head proudly. “Of course. This hospital is equipped with the largest herbal system in Enswood. We have almost every type of herb.”
“In that case, can you allow me to enter and perform the surgery?”
Pearl’s proposal caught the doctor off guard, and his brows furrowed. “Please stop joking, miss. You’re injured yourself, and this is no time for jokes. We’ll do everything in our power to save the patient. Please don’t make a scene here.”
Frowning, Pearl suddenly came up with an idea. “Have you ever heard of Simon Freeman?”
“Simon Freeman? Of course, everyone knows that famous and exceptional physician,” the doctor spoke with admiration for
Simon.
“I’m his only disciple.’

The doctor’s eyes widened in disbelief.
