Chapter 901


    Richard could no longer hold himself back after hearing that. He leaned over and kissed Pearl.


    Pearl responded, albeit with little experience. Their kiss deepened, bing more passionate.


    When they were fully engrossed, Richard pulled away.


    Confused, Pearl licked her lips, hinting at her dissatisfaction.


    "Okay, that''s it. I''ll take you to the hospital."


    "Why do I need to go to the hospital?" Pearl looked at Richard, her body feeling feverish. She felt a


    burning sensation, her mind clouded.


    "It''s not the right time. We should wait until we''re both ready for this." Despite his desire, Richard


    restrained himself, knowing Pearl wasn''t thinking clearly. Though they were technically married, he


    wanted to respect her.


    "Okay." Pearl seemed to understand and lowered her head in disappointment.


    Richard admired his restraint as they quickly reached the hospital.


    The doctor immediately recognized Pearl''s condition. "What happened? How did she end up like


    this?" He eyed Richard suspiciously. "Couples shouldn''t experiment like this. This drug is


    dangerous. Overdosing could be fatal."


    The doctor wondered where Richard got the drug, which was illegal and not sold in the market.


    Richard cleared his throat and rified, "No, it was an ident. I brought her here as soon as I


    realized."


    The doctor rxed, realizing Richard hadn''t harmed Pearl. Thetter even drove her to the hospital


    and did not take advantage of the situation. "You''re a good man. She''s lucky to have you."


    Richard blurted out, "We''re married."


    "You guys are married?"


    "Yes, here''s our certificate." With that, Richard produced a marriage certificate from his pocket.


    The doctor looked at him in astonishment. So, he had even brought it with him. "Sir, how about I


    give you a check-up as well?"

    For a moment, Richard was puzzled. He responded earnestly, "No, thank you. Please just focus on


    her. I''m fine." He wondered if the doctor thought he was drugged too.


    No, since you''re married, intimacy is important. But you hesitated and didn''t touch her. Is there,


    perhaps, an issue in that department?"


    The doctor''s concerned look caused Richard''s face to darken. "Doctor, I''m fine."


    "Then whye to the hospital for something trivial? You can handle it at home."


    Richard felt uneasy, his mood souring further.


    Seeing Richard''s change in demeanor, the doctor backed off. "Alright, I won''t pry. Let me check on


    her and prescribe something."


    Wary of Richard''s reaction, the doctor hurried away.
