The chief police officer replied hurriedly, “No. There are no grounds to the case, so you don't have to sign
anything."
Luca smiled and said, "Then I shall leave first."
"Sure, sure." The chief police officer sent her out of the police station himself. After watching her leave, he turned
around and looked at his subordinates. "Next time, before you go and bring someone in to aid in the investigation,
take a proper look at the evidence on hand and see whether or not the actions can be constituted as a crime. Just
look at what happened today. We've only wasted our time and resources."
"Yes, Chief," the older police officer replied. He only watched the footage without thinking that much.
After analyzing the case, he believed that Pierre intentionally fell to the ground to set Luca up.
"This matter has to be made public. Write a review report later and hand it to me before you get off work." The
chief police officer turned around and returned to his office after that.
"Yes, sir."
"And you'll have to submit a report for failing to file the case. If that man is unconvinced, then have him provide
solid evidence to us. That's the only way we can continue to handle the case." The chief police officer turned
around and added.
The older police officer nodded to indicate that he understood. "Yes, Chief."
After Luca left the police station, she sent a message to Johann: [Dr. Park, are you busy?]
Johann replied to her message soon after: [Not really. What's the matter?]
[I'd like you to help me enquire about Pierre Mallory's current condition.] Luca was curious. The police officers told
her that Pierre was currently receiving treatment at the hospital, so he must be lying on the ward bed in the
hospital now. What was worse was he could not lie still and quietly.
[He's in the hospital? Has his retribution finally come?] Johann was surprised. After all, people tended to get what
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthey deserved. He did not expect karma to hit Pierre so soon.
[...] Luca was surprised that he would react that way.
Doctors were always called angels for their kind hearts. However, they were ordinary people too. All those things
that Pierre did had provoked the anger of many. That was why Johann would say something like that.
[How did you know he's been admitted to the hospital? I didn't receive any news about it.] Johann continued to ask
her after she sent him a few full stops.
[It's because of me that he had to be admitted to the hospital.] Luca was replying to his messages while she was in
the taxi. [He should be in the neurology department if I'm not mistaken.
[Is it that serious? Did you hit him?] Johann was still surprised, and he opened the hospital's information system
right away. He was different from the other doctors. He had the right to check every department's system in the
hospital.
[Not at all. But he'll have to suffer some pain for a couple of days.] Luca replied to him as she waited for his result.
Johann found Pierre's information by entering his name. He clicked on it and saw his name. Indeed, Pierre was
admitted to the hospital today. The main complaint was an unexplained pain in his body.
[Dr. Craw, I found his records. The main complaint states that there's unexplained pain in his body. Is he still a man?
He can't even endure it and needs to be admitted to the hospital? He's not thinking of setting you up, right?] Johann
despised Pierre from the bottom of his heart.
How could a ruthless man be admitted to the hospital just because of some pain...
Luca replied: [Dr. Park, I'd like you to monitor his situation from time to time. His condition isn't as simple as it
seems.] She could guarantee that he would not die, but she was uncertain if Pierre would pass out from the pain.
Johann let out a sigh as he read the message on his phone. Luca and Luke were truly a couple, after all. They would
ask for his help to keep an eye on everything.
Fortunately, it was convenient for him to do so in the hospital. Otherwise, he would have to keep heading to the
other departments. That would indeed be tough for him.
[Sure. I'm just curious. Which part of the body did you strike? How can it be so painful?] Johann recalled the
anatomy lessons he took before. He was not taught which part of the body would cause such severe pain when
struck. Besides, there was nothing written on Pierre's diagnosis analysis. It seemed like there was no obvious
answer for what was causing his pain.
[Would you like to try?] Luca was in a good mood, so she suddenly teased him.
Johann replied: [No, thank you. I'll probably have to take a look at him later. If they can't find the source of his pain,
they'll come to ask for my help. I just wanted to ask you so that I won't be embarrassed later.]
[It's a long story. Even if you know how I did it, there's no way to treat it. You can only give him some painkillers.
He'll be fine in two days.] Luca replied when she saw that the driver had almost reached the destination. She kept
her phone.
Johann read her message and could not help but shiver. Her sophistication made him wonder what she had gone
through in the past to become the way she was now.
Johann kept his phone away. The head of the neurology department came in hurriedly. “Dr. Park, are you available
now?"
"Yes. I've finished performing all my surgeries today. Dr. Lance, why are you all sweaty? What happened?" Johann
asked an obvious question.
"The second young master of the Mallory family has just come in today. His complaint is that he's suffering from
unexplainable pain. I did every health check-up there is and nothing seems to be wrong with him. I can't find the
source of his pain. I'd like to ask for your help to take a look at him. You're knowledgeable and well-informed, after
all. You might be able to find out why," Mr. Lance pleaded with him.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJohann stood up. It was his fate to help Luke clean up Luca's mess. "Come on. Let's go take a look."
“That'll be great.” Dr. Lance looked more positive now.
Johann told him beforehand. "But I can't guarantee that I'll be able to figure out what's causing the pain. After all,
there are too many reasons that can cause pain. Even if we form a medical team to perform screening
examinations, we won't be able to find out within a week.”
Dr. Lance knew that too. He nodded his head instantly. "Of course, I know that. But two heads are better than one.
I'm glad you're willing to help."
Johann nodded and followed him out of the office.
The two of them came to the ward. They could hear Pierre groaning in pain before they even went in.
He was cursing and swearing while he was in pain.
"What kind of shitty hospital is this? I've been here for so long but the doctors here have no way to stop the pain?"
Johann glanced at Dr. Lance. "Your patient has a really bad temper."
"There's nothing I can do. He's the second young master of the Mallory family in A City. That's just the way he is.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have to trouble you," Dr. Lance said helplessly. They had been busy screening through the
possible causes behind Pierre's pain.
However, Pierre could no longer wait for them. He scolded every doctor and nurse in the department.
They had already done a thorough health check-up on him, yet they still could not figure it out.
Johann put his hands in the pockets of his lab coat and walked into the ward.
"What's going on here?" he asked with a cold expression on his face. Every doctor here had to show respect to
Pierre except for him.
It was because he was capable.
One's capability trumped over everything no matter where one was.
"The patient claims that he's suffering from abdominal pain, but we can't find the reason even after running
through multiple medical examinations," one of the doctors answered immediately.
Johann looked at Pierre's face turning green and pale because of the pain. His heart tightened, and he was glad
that he had never offended Luca. Otherwise, he would have ended up in the same state as Pierre.
