Chapter 437
Mister Blumenfeld was utterly bewildered. “Why didn’t you make it sweet for me?!” He acted like a mischievous old man.
Pearl smirked. “Because when I examined your b*dy, I found that you have two cavities.”
That shut Mister Blumenfeld up.
“Alright, take your time with the medicine. I’ll get going now.” Pearl was afraid he might complain again, so she left immediately.
Back in her ward, Pearl found Richard busy with packing. She approached him from behind and wrapped her arms around him.
“Richard, did you miss me?” Pearl asked, a hint of playfulness in her tone.
Richard was a bit puzzled “You just went out for an hour, and you weren’t far away. Why would I miss you?”
Pearl pouted, clearly dissatisfied with his response. “I was thinking about you the whole time while talking to Mister Blumenfeld”
“What were you thinking about me?”
Suddenly, Pearl seemed to remember something, and her expression changed. “Right, there’s something I need to tell you.”
Richard turned around and hugged Pearl. “What is it?”
Pearl began to explain, “Leah apologized to Mister Blumenfeld this morning. At first, I found it strange, but Mister Blumenfeld said he sent a plaque to the hospital with ‘Why hasn’t Leah retired yet?’ written on it.”
Richard couldn’t help but chuckle. “Mister Blumenfeld is quite the dandy.”
“But when Leah left, her expression was really scary. I have a feeling she’s up to something.” Pearl was very cautious. It
wasn’t a mere illusion.
In the afternoon, Pearl woke up from her nap and noticed that the room was unusually cold. She glanced over at Richard, who was dozing on the couch with his head propped up. He seemed unperturbed by the chilly environment, as if he were impervious to the cold.
Pearl had a strong suspicion that the sudden drop in temperature was not a mere coincidence. She got out of bed and woke Richard. “Richard, it seems like the radiator is broken.”
Richard opened his eyes, his gaze clear, indicating that he hadn’t been asleep. “It’s probably not broken. Someone intentionally turned it off.”
Both of them knew they didn’t need to mention the person responsible; it was clear who was behind this.
“Wait here. I’m going to see the director,” Richard said.
Pearl followed him closely and held his hand. “I’ll go with you.”
In the director’s office, the director looked at the two sitting on the couch, speaking humbly, “May I know what brings you here?” She often watched the news and knew the person in front of her was from the influential Waldorf family.
Richard’s tone was cold and direct. “I want to know who’s responsible for the radiator in the ward.”
“Well Leah has always been in charge of this. Is there something wrong with your room’s radiator?”
Pearl nodded. “Yes, the radiator in our ward hasn’t been turned on at all.”
The director was somewhat surprised and understood that this might be one of Leah’s tricks. “This might be an accident. Why don’t you go back and take a look? It might just be a maintenance issue.”
