Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl romance Capítulo 73

"No, you don't have to do that. I just want an herb from you," Pearl said with sparkling eyes.

The doctor, a renowned modern physician at the hospital, frowned upon hearing her request for an herb. "What do you need that herb for?"

"I need it for something. Just say yes or no."

After some contemplation, the doctor nodded and agreed to it.

Smiling with satisfaction, Pearl took out a porcelain-white bottle from her pocket. It had a crystal-like appearance with a slight bluish tint.

Pearl unscrewed the bottle, poured its green potion on Richard's back, and rubbed it on his back gently.

A cool sensation spread across Richard's back, and the pain from the burn lessened significantly.

"I'll apply this on your back once a day, and in about a week, you'll be nearly healed."

The doctor's eyes widened in disbelief. "A week? How is that even possible? You can't achieve that even with a skin graft surgery."

Pearl put away the bottle in her pocket. "Of course, a complete recovery in a week is unrealistic. It requires long-term treatment. However, I can guarantee an eighty percent improvement."

"Very well, I look forward to the result in seven days," the doctor conceded.

Pearl raised her chin. "Let's wait and see."

After the doctor packed up his things and left, Richard fixed his somber gaze on Pearl. "Why did you make that promise?"

Although he recognized Pearl's extraordinary abilities, he found it impossible for her magical potion to heal such a large burn without resorting to skin graft surgery.

The doctor had thoroughly examined Richard's severe burn earlier and had made a bet with Pearl because he, too, couldn't guarantee a full recovery.

Incredulous, he touched Richard's back and the faint scar. "Wow, it's like a miracle..."

He couldn't help but praise Pearl's remarkable medical skills and marveled at her incredible abilities, especially considering her young age.

Richard naturally heard the change in Doctor Paul Jenkins' tone and was surprised too.

"Is our bet still valid?" Pearl inquired, eager to know whether Paul would honor their agreement.

Paul nodded excitedly. "Yes, of course it's valid. What do you want, Miss?"

Pearl touched her chin and thought for a moment. "I want Cuza Root."
