Chapter 201
Lucas had long heard of Dr. Grace and admired her.
After all, he knew how badly Marc had been injured back then. All the bones in his body were about to shatter, and his whole body was covered with serious comminuted fractures. However, Dr. Grace put his bones back together piece by piece,
From then on, he admired Dr. Grace very much in his heart.
Most importantly, Dr. Grace was a woman!
She was a dreamboat for him.
He never expected that the woman he admired was actually Pearl! Pearl was Dr. Grace?
How was this possible?
Wasn’t Pearl just a mere caregiver by Marc’s side back then?
However, nothing seemed impossible when it happened to Pearl.
Pearl, who was also Dr. Grace, frowned heavily and glanced at Lucas with an unfriendly gaze. “What are you shouting about? The hospital forbids noise. If you call again, I’ll get you out.”
Lucas was at a loss for words and pursed his lips tightly.
Fine, other than Pearl, no one else dared to treat him with such an arrogant tone and cold attitude.
But he still felt like he was dreaming…
Lucas stretched his arm in front of Marc and said, “Pinch me.”
Marc tilted his head and looked at Lucas. Naturally, since Lucas asked for a beating himself, Marc had to fulfill his wish. He raised his hand and slapped the back of Lucas’s head hard, almost causing Lucas to fall to the ground.
Lucas almost cried out in pain. He rubbed the back of his head in pain and glared at Marc. “Can’t you be gentler?”
“Pain will help you wake up. Marc did not feel sorry at all.
Lucas was rendered speechless and looked aggrieved.
He had woken up but at the cost of almost dying of pain. He complained, “You heartless man!”
Even as a gay, Noah found this scene a little hard to digest.
If you want to flirt, please go outside. Don’t be an eyesore here and affect the patient’s mental health
After Pearl finished speaking, Ferris, who was lying on the hospital bed, added, “Dr. Grace is right. You two were always this close when you were in the army. You guys are sweet, but it’s wicked of you to disgust others.
Marc frowned and said nothing,
Lucas quickly waved his hand and explained, “We don’t have that kind of relationship. He just has a crush on me.”
Marc said coldly, “You’ve gotten it wrong, right?”
Lucas widened his eyes. “What? You heartless man”
Ferris rolled his eyes speechlessly. He didn’t want to see this, and now what they were saying was also hard to accept.
Pearl could not be bothered with them. She personally checked Ferris’s basic condition. It was similar to what was recorded in the medical record. As for some of the discrepancies, she manually corrected them.
Unlike the scrawl of other doctors, Pearl was very disciplined in her medical record writing. Her handwriting was free, smooth, beautiful, and magnanimous. Marc watched from the side, and his heart thumped uncontrollably.
“The surgery is at ten o’clock. You can get ready?
11:02 AM
Pearl closed the medical record and nodded at Viola, who had been guarding the door with a nervous expression. Then, she walked out with Noah and the others.
As soon as they left, Noah asked calmly, “The man in black is your ex–husband, Marc, right?”
“Yes,” Pearl replied expressionlessly.
A few years ago, Noah had seen photos of Marc. Pearl had been secretly in love with him for many years and had once used all her skills to save him from death. Naturally, Noah knew what the man looked like.
“Seeing is better than hearing,” Noah said with a fake sigh. Then, he changed the topic. “Looks like he’s a little stupid.”
Pearl grunted again. He was not a little stupid, but he was a complete idiot!
Noah asked again, “Who’s the one shouting loud?”
“His best friend, younger son of the Parker family in Beaudale, Lucas.”
Noah suddenly understood. “Oh,” he said. “He’s also a popular person.”
Pearl snorted and said, “He is no better than Marc. Just another idiot.”
Noah could not help but laugh out loud.
In the ward, as soon as Pearl left, Lucas flared up and questioned Marc with a dark expression, “You knew that Pearl was Dr. Grace, right? Why didn’t you tell me?”
Marc was in a daze as he thought about something. He replied with a casual look, “Isn’t this a surprise for you?”
“What the fuck is a surprise? It’s more like a shock!”
Lucas didn’t think he’d ever be more shocked in his life than the moment he’d just seen Pearl. His expression was still filled with disbelief.
“Pearl is actually Grace. Does this mean that she personally operated on you three years ago? She saved you and even pretended to be a caregiver to stay by your side to take care of you for three years until you recovered! She is like a fairy! And you actually divorced her!”
“What?”
Ferris, who had been listening to the gossip, could not help but be surprised when he heard this. He looked at Marc and asked, “Is Dr. Grace your ex–wife?”
Marc pursed his lips and remained silent.
“It’s more than that. Do you remember ten years ago, we went to Greenwood on a mission and saved a mysterious little girl?”
Ferris thought about it carefully. “I vaguely remember such a mission, but I don’t remember what that little girl looked like. That girl back then was carried out by Marc, right?”
After saying that, his pupils constricted. “Could that girl be… Dr. Grace?”
“Congratulations, you got it right.”
Lucas had mixed feelings. He did not know if he expected better from Marc or hated that this romantic fate did not fall on himself. He only hated himself for losing at the starting line.
And now, how could he completely clear Marc from Pearl’s heart and make her like him?
The surgery took a long time. It lasted from ten o’clock in the morning to two o’clock in the afternoon. It took four hours.
Viola waited anxiously at the entrance of the operating room, looking nervous and anxious. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
Lucas comforted her and said, “Don’t be afraid. It’s fine. Ferris has already cheated death many times. With such a good girlfriend like you waiting outside, he will definitely make it!”
Viola forced a bitter smile and said, “I don’t have much weight to him. I like him, but he doesn’t like me. Everything is my own

will.”
The so–called “girlfriend” was just a self–proclaimed identity that she had given herself in order to take care of him. Ferris did not admit it.
Other than giving him financial support, she could offer him nothing else.
Seeing that he did not give her any comfort and instead made her sad, Lucas quickly changed the topic. “Even if you don’t believe yourself, you have to believe Dr. Grace. She’s a miracle doctor. Do you see this guy…”
He patted Marc on the shoulder and used him as a living example to comfort Viola.
“He got into a car accident back then and was even more seriously injured than Ferris. But he is still alive well now, right? With Grace around, there will definitely be no problem!”
Viola’s expression softened a lot, and she sincerely thanked him.
Marc’s face, however, was pale, and his head hurt.
It should be said that from the moment he saw Pearl in a white coat again, memories of the past flooded his mind. Countless scenes flashed past his eyes, giving him a splitting headache.
Some of the memories that he seemed to have forgotten were also slowly recovering…
