Chapter 564


    Susan’s emotions were a jumble, but Pearl attributed it to her concern for Richard.


    “I’ll step out and call my mentor. I’ll ask him toe as soon as possible,” Pearl said, then left the


    ward, making her way away from themotion before dialing Simon’s number.


    Simon didn’t immediately recognize Pearl’s voice since she was using a different contact number.


    “No, I’m not going. I’ve retired, and I won’t go saving people again… Hey, don’t move your knight there.


    You should just watch the game instead of offering your opinions. Stop talking to him!”


    “Simon, are you going mad from ying chess? You didn’t recognize my voice!” Pearl gritted her teeth.


    Simon imed he had retired, but she knew he was living abroad and spending his days ying chess


    with others. How could he lie to his own disciple?


    Simon eventually recognized Pearl’s voice and chuckled. “I apologize, Pearl. I was in the middle of a


    chess game. Can you wait for a bit


    “I have an urgent matter now. I need you toe to the city hospital in Enswood in three hours. The


    faster, the better.”


    Simon appeared slightly annoyed. “You can’t do this to me, Pearl. I haven’t finished this game yet. Am I


    at your beck and call all the time? 1-


    “You have two hours, fifty–eight minutes, and forty–six seconds,” Pearl interrupted. She could hear the


    wind blowing on Simon’s side.


    Had he rushed off so quickly?


    Pearl’s lips twitched. Perhaps she had been too harsh on the old man in his sixties.


    “Fine, I’ll y chess with you when I have the time.”


    Simon’s mood improved. “Okay, don’t break your word!” Compared to the other elderly chess yers


    downstairs, Pearl was the opponent Simon truly desired.


    Checking the time, Pearl received a text from Simon two and a half hourster.


    [Come pick me up at the hospital entrance.]

    However, Pearl decisively sent Simon the ward number instead.


    [Come on your own.]


    With that settled, she returned to Richard’s ward.


    Richard’s time was running out, which was why Pearl had urgently called Simon. Considering


    her own abilities, she couldn’t fully heal Richard or help him recoverpletely.


    She remembered that Simon possessed an Elixir Pill, and she needed to get it.


    When Simon opened the door, he was greeted by Pearl’s cheerful face.


    “Hello, Mentor…” Pearl approached Simon and took his bags. “It must have been a long journey. You


    must be tired. Sit down and rest…” She then handed him a ss of water


    considerately.


    “So, what do you want from me now, Pea?” Simon had grown ustomed to her schemes.


    “Alright, no beating around the bush. I need your Elixir Pill.”


    “Pfft!” Simon spat out his water in surprise.
