Mysterious Mr.Richard novel Chapter 60

Because of her hand injury, another doctor took over her position as the medical expert on set. There was no news from the hospital except calling to check on her.

Pearl tried to call Dennis to ask when she could return to work. But no one answered, then she gave up.

After three days, Pearl went to  pick up the car from Ethan's friend. It was a relatively new brown classic BMW.    

The car owner was a man in his thirtieS. His name was Spencer. He was handsome, but he looked the same as Ethan. She could tell that Spencer would be a bad influence immediately.      

Pearl checked the car and drove it for a test drive. She thought the car was good. After getting off the car, she asked, "The car is great. Are you sure it's a used car? It looks like a new one."   

"Yep, I don't drive it often. How's the car?" Spencer was smoking as he patted the roof of the car. 

"It's great. By the way, how should I pay? I'll transfer the money to you now."

"Ethan paid me already, so you can just leave with it."

After saying this, without waiting for her to reply, Spencer waved to her, "Bye."

Pearl stood by the car and she was stunned for a while. Ethan paid already?   

she called Ethan on her way home. 

As soon as the phone was connected, before she could speak, Ethan's cheerful voice rang out. "Did you get the car? Is it good?"

"The car is nice, but why did you pay for me? How much money? I'll transfer it to you."

"Come on, it's not expensive. Moreover, Spencer's my friend, so it's for free."

"Free? It looks like a new car, and I don't think he drove it often. I checked the odometer, and it's nearly a hundred kilometers."  

"A hundred kilometers?" Ethan chuckled suddenly, "That's normal. Spencer bought the car half a year ago. It was supposed to be given to his girlfriend. As a result, they broke up and he only drove it once on Valentine's day. I think this is probably the second time he drove it. You're lucky. Spencer hated the car and wanted to throw it away, so I didn't pay him."   

"That's not what you told me at the beginning."

"If I told you the truth, would you be willing to get the car?"

Pearl raised her voice. "So I should thank you?" 

"Yeah, of course." Ethan replied calmly.

"Urgh, you're so annoying. Come on. Don't waste my time and tell me how much it was, and I'll pay you."

"Please, stop it. Leave that for the twins' tuition fees."

Hearing this, Pearl tightened her grip on the steering wheel immediately.

Ethan continued. "Pay me after you have money. Besides, I don't need your money anyway. Just register the kids so they can go to school. If you need my help or some money, just tell me." 

"Are you serious? Is your allowance enough for you to meet girls? By the way, I saved up for the children's tuition fees."

"Alright, just tell me if you need anything. I'll go back next month probably."

"Okay, tell me in advance, and I'll pick you up at the airport."

"No problem."

After hanging up, Pearl took off her Bluetooth headset. She hesitated for a while before putting it on again. Then she made a phone call to Spencer.  

"Hello? It's Pearl. How much money did Ethan pay you for the car?"

......

The sun set, and night fell.
