Old Master Mallory knew for sure that something had happened to Pierre. Otherwise, the
hospital would not ask him to come at this hour.
Old Master Mallory was greeted by the deputy director of the orthopedics department.
Then, he asked, "Did Pierre injure this lady?"
The deputy director nodded and replied, "Yes, Mr. Pierre suddenly woke up and scratched
the nurse who came to change his IV needle..."
After that, he glanced at Sunny, indicating that she was the nurse who was injured.
It had only been a day since Pierre had undergone surgery. There was some inflammation
in his body, accompanied by a low-grade fever.
Anti-inflammatory IV injections were usually given to the patient in the morning, noon, and
evening.
When it was almost time, Sunny was about to go and give Pierre the IV injection, but he
suddenly woke up and scratched Sunny.
Pierre did not have long nails.
However, he used so much strength that he clawed her and left two bloody scratches on
Sunny.
Sunny burst into tears. Pierre pulled out the needle and even tried to stab the needle into
her.
Fortunately, Sunny ran away quickly. Pierre could not get out of bed because of the pain.
Hence, there were no further accidents.
The caretaker also ran out of the ward.
Sunny had no choice but to close the door of the ward and run to the office.
The deputy director was also helpless and could only inform Old Master Mallory.
After Old Master Mallory listened to this, an ominous cloud hovered over his face as he
asked, "Why didn't he cause trouble during the day?"
The deputy director hesitated for a moment.
"Is there anything that you can't tell me?" Old Master Mallory was unhappy about it.
Whatever needed to be said should be said.
"Old Master Mallory, the director gave him sedatives to calm him down. That was why it
has been quiet for the whole day. You know that even though this is a VIP ward, there are
still family members going in and out during the day. If Mr. Pierre were to cause a scene
during the day, it would definitely attract attention, which would easily expose his
identity," explained the deputy director.
Old Master Mallory accepted the explanation and accepted the fact that the director of the
orthopedics department had given a sedative to Pierre without his consent.
He did not want Pierre to be discovered by others.
"Is he still causing trouble now?" asked Old Master Mallory.
"Yes, he is. But it's late at night and the caretaker is also guarding outside the door. There
won't be any onlookers," replied the deputy director.
"What are the consequences of giving him sedatives often?" asked Old Master Mallory.
Pierre still could not accept the fact that he was crippled. If he continued to cause trouble
like this, not only would it cause trouble for the hospital, but he would also be discovered
sooner or later.
After all, he already had a notorious reputation in A City.
Moreover, the people coming in and out of this hospital were all well-off, and many of
them knew Pierre.
If Pierre caused such a scene, he would end up in the police station.
"It's not recommended to use it that often. But if it's for short-term use, maybe seven
days, it won't have a significant impact on the body's functions if the dosage is well-
controlled," explained the deputy director.
"Seven days?" Old Master Mallory frowned. "Why?"
"It's because for general surgical wounds, the stitches can be removed within seven days.
Our suggestion is that Mr. Pierre should go home after he stays in the hospital for a full
seven days. This way, we can avoid long-term use of sedatives. This is to avoid him from
being noticed too," explained the deputy director.
Sunny also nodded repeatedly, agreeing with what he said.
She would rather not take the job even if the hospital director offered her triple her usual
pay to take care of Pierre. She wanted Pierre to go home as soon as possible.
She hurt her forehead yesterday, and she got her neck injured today. If Pierre stayed here
for a long time, she might lose her life!
Sunny valued her life more than money!
Old Master Mallory thought what they said made sense, but he did not agree with what
they said right away. What if Pierre could accept the fact that he was crippled within seven
days?
He would not cause any trouble after that.
Receiving treatment in the hospital was better than recovering at home.
The deputy director understood what Old Master Mallory was thinking about when he did
not respond. Hence, he said, "Let's talk about it after seven days. I'd suggest giving
sedatives to the patient to stabilize his emotions for now. Otherwise, it'll pique others'
curiosity. It won't benefit the healing of his bones if he moves around like that."
"Alright." Old Master Mallory agreed to use sedatives to stabilize Pierre's emotions at the
moment. "I'd like to visit him." "Okay, but I suggest we wait until we've sedated Mr. Pierre.
He's in the ward now, and he throws things at whoever enters the ward. I'm worried you
might get hit if you go in," said Sunny.
"Okay." Although Old Master Mallory believed that he could deal with Pierre, he eventually
decided to follow the doctor's advice.
He stood at the door and watched the doctor, nurse, and caretaker struggle to restrain
Pierre. They then gave him a shot in the thigh.
After a while, Pierre collapsed onto the bed.
Old Master Mallory let out a sigh.
Sunny opened the door for him and said, "Old Master Mallory, you may enter now."
"Can he hear what I'm saying?" asked Old Master Mallory.
"As long as the patient's eyes aren't closed, he's not in a sleeping state. He can hear what
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmyou're saying, but he might not respond," replied Sunny as she walked back to the bed.
Pierre was calm now, ready to receive the anti-inflammatory injection.
Even though she was only responsible to take care of the patient, Sunny still carefully
checked the name on the vial of the injection solution. Then, she looked at the wristband
on Pierre's wrist before saying, "Mr. Pierre, I'm going to give you an anti-inflammatory
injection now. It will help to alleviate the inflammation in your body."
After that, she prepared a new needle and inserted it into the existing catheter hub on
Pierre's hand.
Fortunately, Pierre did not pull the catheter out when he was mad. Otherwise, they would
have to insert a new one.
Although sedatives had been given to him, he could feel pain. Inserting the needle into the
catheter hub would still hurt.
After giving him the injection, Sunny turned to Old Master Mallory and said, "Old Master
Mallory, please talk to him. You're an elder. He'll definitely listen to what you say. The days
ahead stretch far. He has to brave it out."
Sunny left after that.
Old Master Mallory pulled a chair and sat beside the ward bed.
He lowered his mask, heaved a sigh, and said, "Pierre, can you hear me?"
Pierre did not say anything, but he blinked his eyes.
Old Master Mallory knew that he could hear him.
"Why do you refuse to face reality? Why do you torment yourself like this? Why do you
need the doctors to give you sedatives to calm you down? You're a normal person, a
perfectly normal person. Why push yourself to the point where you can only find peace
with sedation?"
Pierre did not respond this time.
Old Master Mallory continued, "Your mother, she's gone mad because of you. She's still
waiting for you to come back. But how can you recover faster this way and help Karen to
break free from her madness?"
Pierre could hear what Old Master Mallory said, but he remained silent.
His mind froze in hesitation when he heard about Karen's matter.
