Chapter 436
Leah had never been so humiliated in her life. Frustrated and embarrassed, she expressed her grievances to the hospital director. “He’s blatantly humiliating me!”
This time, the director didn’t take Leah’s side. She looked at Leah’s angry face and sneered, “Do you know who he is? He’s the rich*st man in Hazelton. Can you afford to offend him?”
Leah was at a loss for words, struggling to explain, “…”
The director continued with a stern tone, “So let me tell you what you should do. You better apologize to him right now. If he decides not to keep you, even I can’t save you!”
The director’s words were a wake-up call for Leah. She replied meekly, “I… I understand.”
Leaving the director’s office, Leah clenched her fists and thought for a long time before heading to Room 360.
As she arrived at the room, she ran into Pearl. Despite Leah’s disheveled appearance, Pearl found her deflated demeanor quite amusing
However, Leah paid no attention to Pearl and went straight into the room. She stood before Mister Blumenfeld, lowered her head, and sincerely apologized, “Mister Blumenfeld… I’ve come to apologize. I know I’ve caused you trouble, and I hope you can forgive me.”
Daniel wasn’t harsh in his response. Seeing Leah in this state, he abandoned his scheming but had no intention of forming a friendly connection with her. “It’s okay, I don’t want to intentionally trouble a young girl. I’ll tell you what. If you have no other matters, you may leave now.”
His dismissal couldn’t have been clearer.
“Okay,” Leah said, swallowing her pride. Seeing Pearl’s smug look, she didn’t want to stick around any longer.
After Leah left, Pearl turned to Mister Blumenfeld, puzzled. “What have you done?”
Leah’s sudden change of heart indicated that he had orchestrated something behind the scenes.
Mister Blumenfeld didn’t hide it from her. Seeing that she had no clue at all, he told her everything-
Pearl burst out laughing.
“You think it’s funny, don’t you, Pea?” he asked.
“I just can’t believe someone your age can still be so mischievous.”
Mister Blumenfeld blushed. “Well, it was just a small punishment. I don’t really want to make things hard for her.”
Though Pearl’s words weren’t particularly harsh, Mister Blumenfeld couldn’t help feeling uneasy as he watched her calmly sipping her tea.
“Don’t worry. People like her need to learn their lesson.” Pearl’s words were like sending a signal to Mister Blumenfeld.
“I get it. You mean it’s okay to mess with her, right?”
Pearl was speechless. When did she imply that?
“But from what I understand about Leah, she’s the type who might try something. Whether it’s directed at you or me, we should be cautious.”
Mister Blumenfeld nodded. “Don’t worry. Her petty tricks won’t bother me at the moment.”
“That’s good. Now, take your medicine.” Pearl went through a lot of trouble to prepare the medicine. It couldn’t go to waste.
Mister Blumenfeld grimaced at the thought of the medicine. “Can I skip it? I really can’t bring myself to swallow it.”
“No, you can’t. Medicine may taste bitter, but it’s beneficial for your health. I’m sure you’ve heard that saying before, haven’t you?”
Chapter 436
Mister Blumenfeld complained, “I really can’t take the bitterness.”
“Embrace the bitter to savor the sweet.”
Mister Blumenfeld scolded, “Why do you speak in such a contradictory manner?”
“Actually, the medicine could have been sweet, but I thought you might not like that, so I made it bitter on purpose.”
