Chapter 74
Paul appeared to be in a dilemma, stupefied by Pearl’s request. “Oh…”
“What’s the matter, Doctor Paul? A promise must be kept. Don’t tell me you want to break your word.”
Ashamed, Paul heaved a deep sigh. “Okay, come with me.”
He led Pearl to the herb department, turning on the lights as they went, when an angry voice rang out.
“Do you want to die, Paul? Why’d you come in so suddenly?”
Paul gave Pearl an awkward smile and snapped at Roy, “We’ve got a colleague here, Roy. Can you show me a little respect ?”
“Colleague?”
Hearing that, Pearl saw a figure approaching quickly, and in the next moment, that person tightly grabbed her hand.
“You’re that person Paul talked about?”
Pearl was rendered speechless. She was not acquainted with this person, but his grip on her hand was so tight that she couldn’t pull away.
“This young lady is awesome. She nearly healed a burn completely. It was the first time I witnessed such a miraculous sight!”
Roy Fisher chuckled. “It’s not exactly a miracle. Burns can be treated quite effectively with herbs and traditional methods. But…” He turned to Pearl and asked, “Who taught you this, Miss?”
“My mentor is Simon Freeman.”
Roy’s expression changed at the mention of Simon. “Simon Freeman, that world–renowned traditional physician? You’re his student?”
Still stunned, Pearl nodded.
World–renowned traditional physician? Pearl knew Simon as nothing more than an old man who loved to drink and would act shamelessly when he lost at chess.
Je wants Cuza Root Can we give it to her?”
Paul chimed in at the right time and raised Pearl’s request.
“Hehe, sure, but Miss, can I borrow the burn medicine you used? I’d like to study it,” Roy inquired eagerly.
Roy had a great affinity for traditional medical practices and had been studying them for decades. He wouldn’t pass up the opportunity to examine such a remarkable treatment.
“Sure,” Pearl agreed to it without any hesitation.
It was almost impossible to make the exact same medicine without the list of ingredients and instructions. If Roy did manage to make it, it would show his amazing skill, and he’d deserve to have that medicine.
Satisfied with obtaining the Cuza Root, Pearl left it in Wayne’s care and returned to the hospital. However, as she reached the entrance, she stumbled upon a heated argument involving two women.
One of them wore a mask, a hat, and glasses, giving her an elegant appearance. She responded patiently and gently, while the other woman behaved like a rude countrywoman, loudly berating her and using vulgar language.
At first, Pearl had no intention of getting involved, but suddenly, the aggressive woman struggled to breathe and collapsed in front of her.
It seemed the woman was suffering from an asthma attack, likely triggered by her anger. She lay on the ground, foaming at the mouth, and gasped for breath as if her life depended on it.
The elegant lady, clearly distraught, attempted to assist her friend. However, the friend pushed her away and continued to berate her aggressively.
Turning her attention to them, Pearl realized that the elegant lady looked quite familiar. She appeared to be the woman who

had gifted Pearl flowers after she performed with Hanzel at his concert.
Thinking back to that encounter, Pearl felt compelled to intervene.
“Why don’t you let me try?” Pearl stepped forward and whispered.
“You? You look so young! Do you even know how to treat her? You can’t leave if something happens to my friend!” the woman retorted, clearly skeptical of Pearl’s abilities.
