Old Master Mallory knew for sure that something had happened to Pierre. Otherwise, the hospital
would not ask him toe at this hour.
Old Master Mallory was greeted by the deputy director of the orthopedics department. Then, he asked,
"Did Pierre injure thisdy?"
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 nced 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 inmmation in his body,
apanied by a low-grade fever.
Anti-inmmatory 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 wed 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 idents.
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," exined the deputy director.
Old Master Mallory epted the exnation and epted 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''ste 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 ept 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 orter.
After all, he already had a notorious reputation in A City.
Moreover, the peopleing 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 rmended 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," exined 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," exined
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 ept 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 copsed 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 you''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-inmmatory 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-inmmatory injection now. It will help to alleviate the
inmmation 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
toe 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.
