Chapter 200
Pearl had a good sleep. Cookie was so obedient that it did not even bark once.
The next morning. Pearl was in a good mood after eating breakfast prepared by Noah. She felt refreshed.
Charlie and Noah did not hire any maid. Both of them were busy with work and did not have much time to tidy up the house. They often hired part–time cleaners. They did not have much stuff, and the home of the two men was very clean and tidy.
But it still felt homey.
There were
two pillows on the big cozy sofa in the living room. The pillows were in a pair with cartoon figures of Charlie and Noah being printed on them. They were gifts from Pearl a few years ago. They were still there though their colors had faded with multiple washes.
On the television cabinet, there were photos of Charlie in a cool suit and leather shoes as well as photos of Noah in a white coat. However, it was obvious that the photo of Noah had been taken secretly at home because he was not wearing any clothes underneath the white coat.
There were also photos of the two of them. There were all styles of photos such as casual, formal, period, and retro… They had their arms around each other’s shoulders, and their postures were intimate.
Pearl blinked and admired them for a long time before realizing that they seemed to be….
Wedding photos!
Noah handed Pearl a slice of buttered bread and a glass of milk. “Drink this.”
Pearl took the bread slices and declined the milk.
“I don’t like this stuff. It smells like leather shoes,”
Noah insisted, “It’s for your protein intake.”
Pearl obediently picked up the boiled egg. “I can eat two more eggs to replenish my protein.”
Noah was at a loss of words to rebuke her.
Noah shook his head helplessly. He had no choice but to enjoy two glasses of milk himself.
“I remember that Mom doesn’t like to drink milk either. Noah gulped down half a cup of milk and pondered. “It’s probably due to genetics.”
Pearl nodded in agreement.
Otherwise, why would everyone else think that milk smelled good while she was the only one who felt that milk smelled bad? However, since she had inherited so many excellent genes from her mother, the small flaw was nothing. After all, no one was perfect. Pearl was very accepting of that.
“The surgery is scheduled at 10 a.m. Do you want to meet the patient and have a chat?”
Pearl took a sip of fruit juice and nodded. “Of course. Although I’ve more or less grasped the situation, I’ll only know the details when I see him in person.”
The siblings quickly finished their breakfast and rushed to the hospital.
Noah’s family had been involved in the medical field for a few generations. The previous three generations were all doctors. His grandfather had established a high–end medical institution in White Town. The current director was Johnathan Spencer, Noah’s father. Pearl addressed him as Johnathan.
As the only son of the Spencer family. Noah had no choice but to follow his father’s footsteps and become a doctor. Now, he had become the ambassador of the Mercy Hospital.
11:03 AM
Noah majored in neurology, while Pearl was an expert in neurosurgery.
The medical team was ready.
After changing her clothes, Pearl went to check on the patient’s condition with the medical team at the ward.
Noah was also wearing a white coat. He walked side by side with Pearl in the direction of the special ward while reminding her. “The patient’s emotions are not very stable. Take note of your attitude and words. Don’t hit on his sensitive nerves.
“Okay” Pearl had seen all kinds of patients. She had even served Marc, who must be the most difficult person on earth. What would she be afraid of when dealing with that patient?
When she reached the ward entrance, she saw a thin and fragile girl sitting on the bench at the door from afar. She was lost in thought. Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
It was not until Noah called the girl “Ms. Massy” that Pearl came back to her senses.
She slowly raised her head. Pearl saw an extremely pure and beautiful face. She looked very pretty with huge bright eyes. She looked timid, obedient, and innocent.
“Dr. Spencer,” the girl said softly. Her voice was shaking, but there was a smile on her lips.
She did not stand up, but her gaze fell on Pearl again. She asked inquirely, “Is she the very skilled Dr. Grace you mentioned?”
“Yes, she’s Dr. Grace, who is going to operate on Ferris
Noah introduced Pearl.
The girl stood up and extended her hand to Pearl. “Dr. Grace, please take care of Ferris, my boyfriend.”
Her attitude was neither servile nor overbearing, but her eyes flickered with hope and pleading.
Pearl shook her hand and said calmly, “Don’t worry. However, no matter how smooth the surgery is, the rehabilitation process. after the surgery will be long. The care is the most important in determining whether he can stand up. I hope you will be mentally prepared.”
“I understand. I’m mentally prepared to deal with everything.”
The girl said, “I believe he will stand up. I will do my best to help him stand up. Whether he can walk or not in the future. I will stay with him.”
Pearl was impressed by the determination and perseverance in her eyes.
Somehow, she saw a shadow of her former self in the girl.
On the way here, Noah had told her that Ferris had a girlfriend who was from a rich family. She loved him for many years. Even when Ferris had become a spy and his whereabouts were unknown, she did not give up on looking for him. In the end, she finally found him, but he was seriously injured and was so close to being paralyzed.
The Massy family only had one precious daughter, and they would never agree to them being together. However, Viola Massy
not care. She would give up all her wealth to take care of her sweetheart without hesitation.

“In some ways, the girl is really quite similar to you. I’m so concerned about this patient because I see your shadow in her. Hence, I didn’t hesitate to invite you out of seclusion
–
Noah sighed softly. I hope that Viola won’t repeat your mistake. You’re so sincere and dedicated yourself to him selflessly. In the end, you’re hurt by him.”
Pearl did not expect to see the patient’s friends inside the ward when she opened the door. She also did not expect Ferris friend to be those two people.
Not only did she not expect it, but Lacas also did not expect her.
He sat on the chair by the bed with his legs crossed and was chatting with his old comrade when the door was suddenly
11.00 AM
pushed open. He turned around and saw Pearl’s familiar and beautiful face.
It was already unbelievable that she appeared in the ward. The most unbelievable part was that she was wearing a white coat!
“Isn’t that a doctor’s uniform!” Lucas thought.
“Pear!!”
Lucas suddenly stood up and his bright eyes widened. “Why are you here? Why are you dressed like this? Role–playing? Cosplaying?”
Co… my ass.
Pearl could not be bothered with him. She completely ignored Lucas and Marc. She walked straight to the patient on the bed, took out the medical record, and asked routinely, “Ferris, right?”
Ferris nodded.
Tll be the chief surgeon for today’s surgery. Relax, don’t be nervous.”
Pearl said rather gently.
Ferris nodded. “Thank you, Dr. Grace.
Marc looked at Pearl, who was in her white coat again. In a daze, his memory from three years ago came back in a flash. It felt like he was the one lying on the operating table and looking at a figure busy beside him in a daze.
Nothing seemed to have changed, but everything had changed again.
Lucas did not think too much like Marc. His mind was blank at that moment. There was only one voice that kept echoing in his ears, “Dr. Grace, Dr. Grace, Dr. Grace…
Finally, he felt a lump in his throat and almost shouted, “You’re Dr. Grace?”
