Chapter 432
Leah’s face was flushed from the heated argument. “You need to be more sensible. His illness won’t be cured that
easily. Even with the best doctors in the world, his condition won’t improve overnight.”
The man pointed a finger at her and raised his voice, “Do you even know who’s in there? Even if he’s not getting
better, he shouldn’t be getting worse!”
“His condition is heavily influenced by his emotional state. You might have agitated him, causing his condition to
deteriorate.

Pearl couldn’t help but click her tongue. “That’s right. This is the best hospital in Hazleton. It’s quite famous.”

her. “You think our treatments are ineffective? Well, if you think you can do better, why don’t you give it a try? She’s
a doctor too, and apparently, she’s quite good at it.”
Pearl froze. What did this have to do with her? She had no intention of getting involved in this mess, but just when

Pearl couldn’t fathom why she had become the subject of this wager.
The person approached her quickly, gazed at Pearl, and then made a polite bow. “Hello, ma’am. Could you please

now a sick wife. I need to earn a living to support them. Can you please agree?”
“How many people have told this same story?” Pearl was amazed at how effortlessly he could spin a tale.
The person scratched his head awkwardly. “Just a few, but it never worked.”
Richard glanced at her pitiful expression and said, “You’re not well either. There’s no need to help others.”
Pearl appeared as if she were gearing up for an argument. “Saving a life is more important than anything else. I’ll
do it.”
