I’m Someone Else

Chapter 99

“Olivia, Olivia! Are you okay? Don’t scare me!” Ophelie tried to help Olivia, but the latter stopped her from doing so.

“I… I think my ribs are broken. It hurts so much!” Olivia was well aware that her injuries would only worsen if she was lifted up abruptly right then.

“That b*stard! Gavin is really nothing but a swine!” Ophelie snarled, loathing her so-called half-brother to the core, wanting nothing more than to skin him alive.

Tears rolled down her cheeks one after another like beads of a broken string. This was the second time in her life that she felt such helplessness. The first was when their mother passed away.

Soon, an ambulance arrived, and a group of medical staff sent the Pearson sisters to the hospital.

On the ride to the hospital, Ophelie had called Quincy, a close family friend. She could tell her dear sister was gravely injured, and she couldn’t rest assured unless this influential figure in the medical field of Irieson personally intervened.

Fortunately, Quincy was still in his office. He was reading ‘The Imperial Acupuncture,’ the book Thomas had given him. The more he read it, the more he understood the profound and vast mysteries of acupuncture. So much so that he had reached the point of neglecting sleep and food.

“Ophelie! What happened?” asked Quincy, who had been waiting at the hospital entrance, as he directed the nurses to take Olivia to the emergency room.

Ophelie, who had already stopped crying, burst into tears again upon hearing the hospital director’s question, choking with sobs as she briefly recounted the event.

Quincy turned grimly in response, never expecting Norman, his longtime good friend, to be such a person. Spoil your son, whatever, but you can’t ignore your daughter’s life, can you?! What, you allow

your son to belabor your daughter right as he returns?! What father does this?!

“Alright, come with me. Let me see how serious Olivia’s injuries are.”

Coincidentally, the results of Olivia’s examination came out. Quincy quickly picked up the X-ray and scrutinized them.

Hiss! Quincy took a sharp breath. Olivia’s injuries were even more severe than he had imagined.

“Dr. Hofstead… What should we do next?” A senior orthopedic doctor accompanied Quincy, his task being to assist the director during Olivia’s treatment.

He was glad that he was just an assistant because, honestly speaking, he couldn’t handle Olivia’s injuries. It was clear to him from the moment he saw the X-ray.

Quincy locked his brows into a tight furrow as he instructed, “Give Olivia some painkillers first to alleviate her suffering.”

With that, he stepped aside and pulled his phone out.

“Haha! Hey, Quincy, what’s up? I was just about to ask you to join me for a few drinks!”

Some noises came from Norman’s end, and from his tone, one could tell he had been drinking quite a bit.

“Drink? To think you’re still in the mood to drink!” Quincy sneered. “Norman Pearson, you get your *ss to my hospital right away! I can’t believe you’re still in the mood to drink when your daughter’s life is hanging by a thread! Do you even have a f*cking shred of humanity in you?!”

Quincy was no benign man. While others might not dare to offend the patriarch of the Pearson Family, he dared!

“What are you talking about, Quincy? My daughter’s life is hanging by a thread? Both of my daughters are at home just fine!” Norman became upset. He couldn’t believe his friend would curse him like that.

“You think I’m talking nonsense?! Well, f*ck you!” Quincy was so enraged that his words turned vulgar. Why would I, the esteemed director of Prescott Hospital, a figure renowned in the medical community of Droycore, joke about this with you? I, for one, find this embarrassing if you don’t!

He ended the call at once and couldn’t care less about Norman anymore. Plus, the pressing matter was to figure out a countermeasure at once.

Gavin, oh Gavin, you’ve really done it this time. This is your blood sister. How can you be so ruthless?

“Sir, one of Miss Pearson’s broken ribs is positioned near her heart. If we treat her recklessly, it could be life-threatening,” the orthopedic doctor said solemnly.

Well, I have reached the limit of my abilities. Let’s hope the director can come up with something effective.

Quincy sighed. He knew the severity of Olivia’s condition, and that was the problem. He didn’t have a good solution either. If only he fully understood ‘The Imperial Acupuncture,’ he might be able to use acupuncture to stimulate certain acupoints to protect Olivia’s heart meridian and proceed with the next steps of treatment. However, he didn’t have such advanced acupuncture skills. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

“Shoot! How could I have forgotten about him!” Quincy slapped his thigh, suddenly remembering Thomas. He might not be able to do it, but Thomas certainly could! Plus, he had a good relationship with Olivia. He would surely help!

“You keep an eye on Olivia and make sure she doesn’t move around!” Quincy instructed, walking out of the emergency room and dialing Thomas’ number.

Meanwhile, Thomas was still waiting for Pontius of the Minacia Oito Irieson to appear. It had been a whole day, yet there was no sign of Pontius.

Just as he was considering whether to come back and check later in the evening, he received a call from Quincy. “Thomas, come to the hospital quickly. Olivia’s ribs are broken, and one of the bones is pressing against her heart! No one else can treat her properly other than you!”

“What?” Thomas exclaimed and quickly hung up, rushing to the hospital.

How is this possible? She was perfectly fine this morning, wasn’t she? Could it be the doing of the Hind Family again? But that doesn’t make sense. Their primary target should be me. Who could it be, then? The Xalmar Family?

Thomas was beyond frustrated at his point. He was already restless because Pontius hadn’t shown up, and now Olivia had an accident!

Inside the emergency room, Quincy was sweating with anxiety. The only thing he could do now was to continuously administer pain relief to Olivia, preventing her from moving due to severe pain.

It’s going to be fine; it has to be fine. Everything will be taken care of once Thomas arrives.

Olivia had awakened from her unconscious state and was lying silently on the hospital bed, tears streaming down her face.

Quincy’s heart twinged painfully. He watched the young woman grow up with his own eyes, and because of his close friendship with Norman, he had long regarded Olivia as his daughter. I will give you a piece of my mind when you show up, Norman!

Bang!

The doors of the emergency room flew open, and Norman strode in at the forefront. Behind him was a man with a head full of white hair—it was none other than Olivia’s paternal grandfather, Terrence!

Terrence hadn’t made a public appearance in a long time. To everyone’s surprise, he showed up because of Olivia’s injury.

Quincy nodded at Terrence as a greeting, acknowledging his elder status. Then, he questioned Norman, “Where is your precious son?”
