Mysterious Mr.Richard novel Chapter 64

Pearl went into the kitchen to help Priscilla After Dr. Wale left.

They stood behind the kitchen counter. The fresh vegetables were placed in front of them. Pearl was peeling the garlic. 

Priscilla looked at Pearl and chuckled suddenly, "Fred insisted on having roast beef in the morning. I was so angry and argued with him. Well, he's a doctor, but he doesn't even follow his own doctor's advice. He is not allowed to eat greasy food, but he won't listen to me."

"Dr. Wale knew that I was going to come here for free food shamelessly." Pearl replied.

"Come on! It's still the same when you're in college. Just treat this as your home and drop by often."   

"Thank you so much, Mrs. Wale."

"Don't mention it. Well, Fred is about to retire, but Ocpeace Medical University reassigned him, and the City Hospital won't allow him to quit. But, you know him. He has offended many people, which put on him a lot of stress. It's not good for his health."       

"Yes, Dr. Wale is always very upright and outspoken."

"Too much of a good thing," Priscilla sighed, "I can't even talk to him about it. He's getting fierier as he ages and he never listened to me."  

"Mrs. Wale, you can't talk to him about it? But I've  never seen Mr. Wale be tough in front of you, and he always listens to you." Pearl burst into laughter.  

Priscilla chuckled together with Pearl. "Fred taught so many students but you're the smartest. After so many years, you're probably the only one who dares to come to our house like this."

"That's because Dr. Wale is too serious at work. The students respect him but they're also afraid of him. He would even examine the students when they're eating in the cafeteria. Who wouldn't be scared of him?"

"You."

"Because I'm shameless." Pearl grinned and replied.

"It's because you're very good in your studies." Priscilla looked at Pearl seriously and added with a straight face, "Back then, Fred was too upset when he heard that you were going abroad for further study. He was frustrated because his best student wouldn't willing to work under him."      

Pearl explained hurriedly, "Mrs. Wale, I'm more than willing to work under him but I had to leave for some personal reasons. I always felt guilty."     

If she did not go abroad suddenly at that time, she would have continued her studies under Dr. Wale's guidance. Back then, Dr. Wale was leading a medical project. He decided to take her in. She would be the co-author for the thesis too. However, she fell out with her family and she had to leave.

Priscilla went through ups and downs as well, so she did not ask more. Priscilla expressed her understanding and replied, "Well, Fred was very glad when you came back. He even came back a little tipsy. If it hadn't been for that, I wouldn't have known that you came back."                           

Pearl laughed, "When I came back, I didn't see Dr. Wale in the hospital. After a few days, he was serious whenever he saw me. It was not until a month later that he finally willing talked to me. Well, he just said a sentence though."

"Haha," Priscilla laughed, "He tries to act tough but he's shooting himself in the foot. What did he say?"

"He said 'don't block the way'." Pearl pulled a long face and lowered her voice to mimic Dr. Wale.

Priscilla burst into laughter, "Hahaha."

Pearl had lunch at Dr. Wale's house. When she was in college, she often came to eat. Her favorite dish would be Priscilla's roast beef. After eating, Pearl would always bring back some with her. So did this time.

Before leaving, Priscillia packed Pearl a large box of roast beef and some homemade dishes.

"Mrs. Wale, don't see me off. I'll go by myself. It's very hot outside, so please stay indoors." Pearl stood at the door with a few shopping bags.

"Fred, why don't you see Pearl off?" Priscilla glanced over her shoulder and called.

A cold voice came from the sofa. "What? Why? Is she a kid now?"

"You..."

"Mrs. Wale," Pearl interrupted Priscilla smilingly and lowered her voice, "It's fine, I know that he's still mad at me. I'll be leaving and I'll visit you another day."

"Don't care about it. He was too stubborn."

Priscilla closed the door after Pearl left. Priscilla turned around and saw that someone was craning his neck and looking outside. She found it annoying and funny as she crossed her arms. She uttered, "I asked you to see her off, but you refused. But now you're worried. You know, Pearl's arm is still injured."
