Chapter 565
Simon was dumbstruck by Pearl’s sudden request for an Elixir Pill.
“How can you just ask for an Elixir Pill like that?” Simon turned away. “I could consider helping you with something else, but I can’t give you that.”
“Why not?” Pearl frowned in confusion.
Simon sighed deeply. “Because I only have one left. I used one of my remaining two pills to save your life three years ago. I have only one left. I can’t give it to you.” He was heartbroken, wondering how Pearl could ask for such a valuable item so casually.
“But it’s a matter of Richard’s life. I’ve checked on him, and he’s on the verge of death, with less than a month to live!”
Simon grew serious. “Less than a month? Let me take a look.”
After examining Richard, Simon realized that Pearl was telling the truth.
“But I only have one Elixir Pill left. If you use it on him, your own illness…”
Pearl smiled bitterly, recalling something. “I’ll be fine. We can always get more medicine. I still have another year, so don’t worry. We’ll find a way. But if we don’t save Richard now, he’ll have only one month left.”
She would not stand idly by and watch Richard die.
“Alright, I won’t stop you since you’ve made up your mind.” Simon took a deep breath and looked sorrowful.
He retrieved a black pill from his medical kit and placed it in Richard’s mouth.
However, Richard seemed to sense something amiss and refused to swallow the pill, keeping it in his mouth.
“Ugh, he seems to have sensed it and doesn’t want to take it. How rare!” After a moment of shock, Simon added, “But if he keeps it in his mouth for too long and the pill dissolves, its effects may be greatly reduced…”
Pearl quickly stepped forward. Ignoring the shocked gazes around her, she lowered her head and k*ssed Richard’s lips, using her tongue to force the pill down his throat. Richard resisted, but Pearl persisted.
Everyone was shocked as they found it impudent to do that kind of thing in front of so many people.
But Pearl ignored their gazes and used her tongue to force the pill down into Richard’s throat. However, Richard was still reluctant.
As time passed, the pill became smaller. Eventually, Pearl had no choice but to chew up the remaining piece of the pill and feed it to him as it slipped into his throat.
Although the effects were not as effective as expected, it was the best she could do. Richard was forced to swallow the pill.
Everyone anxiously waited for him to wake up.
But Richard remained motionless, as if he had stopped breathing.
Even Simon began to doubt the effectiveness of the pill. “What’s wrong with this pill? It should take effect in three minutes. This is strange… ”
Pearl frowned. “Didn’t you make this? Don’t you remember how long it takes for it to work?”
Simon blushed and stammered, “I… Maybe I got it wrong…
Suddenly, Richard started coughing.
”
Pearl turned to see Richard, who had been lifeless moments ago, discreetly sitting up and covering his mouth to cough.
Susan and Drew were still talking. When Susan heard the cough, she turned around abruptly.” Rick, you’re awake!”
Richard managed a faint smile. “Yeah.”
As Pearl looked at Richard, tears welled up in her eyes. “Richard…”
But when Richard turned to look at Pearl, his expression gradually turned aloof.
