Chapter 170


    Carefully, Pearl inspected Susan’s b*dy and found that Richard was right. There was nothing wrong


    with Susan’s intake of medicine, but…


    With narrowed eyes, Pearl reached out to touch Susan’s venttor and noticed that it was cold.


    “I know why she’s be a vegetable, Richard.”


    Stunned, Richard asked, “Why?”


    “Look at her venttor. It’s cold. Normally, it emits warmth when it’s turned on, but this one doesn’t. On


    the contrary, it feels cold to the touch. I think someone must have secretly pulled off the venttor when


    you weren’t around and reconnected it


    when you returned. If this continues, she can’t breathe normally. That’s why she’s now in a vegetative


    state.”


    Pearl’s analysis enlightened Richard. He clenched his fists with a cold determination. “I’m sure it was


    Hugo.”


    “It’s not certain. It could have been Abby.”


    Pearl lifted her gaze and said, “Regardless, our priority now is to save Missus Susan instead of finding


    the culprit.”


    Richard nodded. “I’ve contacted the most reputable doctor in Enswood, and he’lle overter.”


    Pearl set aside her suggestion upon hearing this.


    The doctor arrived promptly. He was a man in his forties or fifties, wearing a suit and gold-rimmed


    sses, exuding an air of seriousness and reliability.

    “Mister Richard, allow me to conduct a thorough examination of the patient,” the doctor said.


    As the doctor carefully examined Susan, he frowned and sighed. Finally, he spoke with a tone of


    resignation, “To be honest, Mister Richard, curing this condition is extremely challenging. We may need


    to rely on a miracle to save her.”


    “What do I need you for if I want to pray for miracles?” Richard’s stern voice made the doctor tremble.


    “I don’t mean to say I won’t try to cure her, but… I can’t guarantee sess, and it could harm my


    reputation.”


    “Reputation? Get out of Enswood if you can’t cure her.”


    Observing this exchange, Pearl decided to intervene to help the doctor out of his predicament. “Hold


    on. He’s just a doctor, not a god. I’ll get my mentor here and ask him to check on Missus Susan’s


    condition.”


    Unexpectedly, the doctor responded to Pearl’s words with anger, as if he felt humiliated. “What do you


    mean ‘just a doctor’? I’m the best doctor in Enswood. Who is your mentor? Don’tpare your mentor


    with me!”


    This reaction annoyed Pearl, and she regretteding to the doctor’s aid in the first ce.


    “Simon Freeman,” she responded, causing the doctor to suddenly fall silent.


    However, the doctor soon doubted her im and muttered, “I don’t know if you’re telling the truth. It’s


    hard to believe Simon is your mentor. He’s an outstanding figure. Stop joking around!”


    Unconcerned, Pearl made a video call. A white-haired old man in traditional clothes appeared on her


    phone. Despite his age, he had a lively demeanor and bright eyes.


    “Hi, Pearl. You finally called me.You can’t imagine how lonely I’ve been abroad… By the way, when are


    youing back? I miss you terribly…”


    Pearl interrupted Simon with a smirk. “You’re still struggling to beat Leo in chess, the guy who’s staying


    downstairs, right?” Simon chuckled and admitted, “You got me there. When are you going to help me


    defeat him? He’s so smug. You must help me beat him!”


    An idea sparked in Pearl’s mind as she smiled. “Okay, let’s make a deal.”


    Simon enthusiastically agreed, patting his chest. “I’ll say yes to whatever you have in mind.”

    Suddenly, Pearl turned her phone toward Susan, who was behind her, and calmly exined, “I want


    you to help me wake her up.”
