Mysterious Mr.Richard

Chapter 9 Get a drink in the wedding!

"Check Bed 9 from time to time tonight."

Pearl just finished her usual check on a patient with a group of interns. In the corridor, she was

skimming through the medical records and checked the interns' works.

"Dr. Yonng, in fact the patient on Bed 8 has ruptured ectopic pregnancy. But why did you tell her family

that she had appendicitis?" An intern asked.

Pearl tapped on the medical record and pointed the word 'unmarried'. Before she saw more, she

spotted two familiar figures. She tensed instantly.

Richard was no longer wearing the hospital gown. He dressed casually But the chilly aura was still

around him. His eyes were dark while his lips were pale. He wore a pure white shirt as well as an

emotionless look.

Adriana was holding his arms.

"It's Mr. Zellweger and his fiancee. They look so good together."

One of the interns spoke. Pearl was pained when she heard that. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

When she was with Richard before, few knew about their relationship. And Adriana was one of them.

"Pearl, Richard and you are such a perfect match. I'm so jealous of you!" Her best friend, Adriana, once

said.

It felt so ironic and absurd to see the couple in front of her.

"Dr. Yonng." One of the interns' call made Pearl snap back to her senses.

"Yeah." Pearl averted the two and continued her words, "Pay attention to the patient on Bed 8. She has

shown some signs of depression. Get she a counselor. More importantly, don't forget to keep her

pregnancy a secret form her family for the time being."

"Yes, Dr. Yonng."

Meanwhile, Richard and Adriana had stopped in front of Pearl.

"Dr. Yonng, you look so busy. Having to be a doctor and a teacher."

Pearl sensed some sarcasm in Richard's remarks. She looked back at him.

They had not seen each other for a few days. Now he looked better than before when he mocked her.

"Pearl, we are planning to get discharged." Adriana tried to break the awkward silence. Her voice was

soft and friendly. It sounded like she was greeting an old good friend warmly, but in fact she tightened

her grip on Richard's arm to show that she was Richard's girlfriend now.

Pearl was indifferent to this. "Well. Congratulations. I wish you a happy marriage."

"Thank you, Pearl! Then you can go on your work, and we may—"

Before Adriana could finish, Richard suddenly interrupted her. His tone was flat but little forceful. "If you

really mean it, you could come to our wedding next month."

He emphasized the word 'wedding' on purpose. Adriana looked up with shock at Richard. After all, this

man rejected the idea earlier himself.

Richard raised his arm to hold Adriana's hand. Their fingers intertwined. He added, "To some degree,

you were our matchmaker. So how could you miss our wedding?"

The man's voice was low and melodious. However, it liked a knife that pierced into Pearl's heart.

Pearl's blood was boiling as she heard the word 'matchmaker'. Her head was buzzing. Her knees and

legs were suddenly weak, which almost couldn't support her body.

However, she pretended calm and replied bitterly, "But I'm very busy. I might not have the time."

Richard stared at her and asked, "You don't have the time Or you just don't want to attend?"

Pearl lost words.

He was pressing her directly.

Adriana had been with Richard for years. But she had never saw him like that. Even if they rarely hold

hands in public, she was upset.
