I’m Someone Else

Chapter 99

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

“I… I think my ribs are broken. It hurts so much!” Olivia was well aware that her injuries would onlyworsen 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-brotherto 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 timein 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 dearsister was gravely injured, and she couldn’t rest assured unless this influential figure in the medical fieldof Irieson personally intervened.

Fortunately, Quincy was still in his office. He was reading ‘The Imperial Acupuncture,’ the book Thomashad given him. The more he read it, the more he understood the profound and vast mysteries ofacupuncture. 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 hedirected the nurses to take Olivia to the emergency room.

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

Quincy turned grimly in response, never expecting Norman, his longtime good friend, to be such aperson. 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 andscrutinized 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 taskbeing 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’sinjuries. 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 toalleviate 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 abit.

“Drink? To think you’re still in the mood to drink!” Quincy sneered. “Norman Pearson, you get your *ssto my hospital right away! I can’t believe you’re still in the mood to drink when your daughter’s life ishanging 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 daughtersare 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 communityof Droycore, joke about this with you? I, for one, replace this embarrassing if you don’t!

He ended the call at once and couldn’t care less about Norman anymore. Plus, the pressing matterwas 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 couldbe 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 somethingeffective.

Quincy sighed. He knew the severity of Olivia’s condition, and that was the problem. He didn’t have agood solution either. If only he fully understood ‘The Imperial Acupuncture,’ he might be able to useacupuncture to stimulate certain acupoints to protect Olivia’s heart meridian and proceed with the nextsteps of treatment. However, he didn’t have such advanced acupuncture skills.

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

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

Meanwhile, Thomas was still waiting for Pontius of the Minacia Oito Irieson to appear. It had been awhole 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 callfrom Quincy. “Thomas, come to the hospital quickly. Olivia’s ribs are broken, and one of the bones ispressing 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 HindFamily 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 tocontinuously 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, tearsstreaming down her face.

Quincy’s heart twinged painfully. He watched the young woman grow up with his own eyes, andbecause of his close friendship with Norman, he had long regarded Olivia as his daughter. I will giveyou 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 aman 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 upbecause of Olivia’s injury.

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