I’m Someone Else

Chapter 49

“Thomas, aren’t you eating?” As Chloe took a bite of seafood and saw that Thomas was only drinking tea, Chloe was a bit surprised. With so many dishes, she would never be able to eat them all by herself.

“No, you can have it!”

As she ate, Thomas noticed that something was wrong as Chloe’s eyes had turned red, and there were tears in her eyes.

“Chloe, what’s wrong?”

“I suddenly thought of my brother.” Chloe pointed at the seafood on the plate and explained with a nostalgic expression, “I remember my brother told me before he joined the army that he would take me to dine at a five-star hotel every day after he made money, and I could eat as much expensive seafood as I wanted. Back then, I was looking forward to that day a lot, but now that I think about it, what’s the difference? I just want him to come back soon so that our family can be reunited and live happily together again.”

In the end, Chloe choked up and forced her tears back, saying, “That day will definitely come.”

Thomas’ palms trembled slightly. He knew about this matter, as Zachary had mentioned it in their conversations before, but Chloe might never be able to see the day when her own brother would take her to a five-star hotel, and it was all his fault.

After the two finished their dinner, Thomas got up to settle the bill when Gerald Chudley, the general manager of Haven Resort, personally came to greet him and refused to take his money.

What a joke, he thought. This man is close with the young master of Peraltas, so he had already done him a great favor by coming here to have a meal. How could he accept his money without William firing

him? Not only would he refuse to charge him, he had to make sure to serve him well.

Hence, Thomas had no choice but to leave with Chloe. Before they left, Gerald warmly said, “Mr. Clifford, come back when you have time!”

After returning to the hospital, Thomas took a look inside the door of the ward, where Chloe’s father was sound asleep. Judging from his complexion, he was indeed much better. Since he was already asleep, there was no need for him to disturb him. Even so, he was aware that he was making excuses for himself so that he wouldn’t have to face him head-on.

While Chloe entered the ward and tiptoed around to clean up the room, Thomas leaned against the window in the corridor, smoking one cigarette after another, and it was not until dawn that Chloe finished her work and followed Thomas back to the house. Ever since they left the hotel, Thomas had not uttered a single word, and he seemed to be deep in thought.

On the other hand, Chloe felt that she could not understand Thomas anymore. At the very beginning, he was just an ordinary but mighty warrior like her own brother, and when they first met, though he was powerful and domineering, he was still poor. However, he became the full-time chauffeur of the president of Pearson Group and even got her a job in Pearson Group, one of top 500 companies in the world. She had never touched the bank card he had given her, but according to him, the amount it contained was at least eight figures.

That day, not only did he take her to a five-star hotel for dinner, even the general manager had to come over to greet him. Not only that, he also said he would not charge him anything. This was Haven Resort they were talking about. It was the most prestigious hotel in Irieson, so if he was able to receive such treatment there, it was not only a matter of money, but also a symbol of status. However, what kind of status did Thomas have? Not long ago, he was just an ordinary citizen who was worried about paying his rent. Even if he took a rocket, his social status would not rise so quickly, right?

With a heart full of questions, Chloe fell into a deep sleep as she was simply too exhausted.

The next day, upon arriving at the company, Thomas spent some time in the office. When he looked at the time and saw it was already ten in the morning but Olivia showed no intention of leaving, he headed straight to Prescott Hospital in Irieson after reporting to her, swearing to find a way to cure her condition.

He had just walked into the entrance when he ran into Richard.

“Hey! Why are you here, Thomas?” Upon seeing Thomas, Richard asked with a face full of excitement.

When he was resuscitating Olivia the other day, he was the only one who knew about it other than Thomas. There were not many people who could stop a person’s bleeding with acupuncture, but Thomas’ treatment was not as simple as stabbing a needle into an acupuncture point to stop the wound from bleeding. Thomas had bent the head of the hairpin and pierced it diagonally into Olivia’s abdomen, and with that, he was able to pierce not one, but two acupuncture points at once.

With abilities such as Thomas’, even Richard’s father, the director of Prescott Hospital, was unable to achieve the same feat. It was clearly the technique of a master in traditional medicine.

However, Richard could tell that Thomas did not want to make a big deal out of it, which was why he didn’t point it out. He was hoping that when he had the chance, he would talk to Thomas about it, but he had to give up due to his busy schedule. He didn’t expect that Thomas would show up at his doorstep that day, and he was determined not to miss this opportunity.

Meanwhile, Thomas was puzzled by Richard’s reaction. Still, it was a good thing. As he was Quincy’s son, he might be able to find out Olivia’s condition by asking him as well.

“Dr. Hofstead, I need your help with something.”

Hearing that, Richard was overjoyed and hurriedly tugged his arm, dragging him to his office.

Immediately, Thomas got straight to the point and said, “Dr. Hofstead, I heard that your family is close with the Pearson Family.”

At his words, Richard’s smile stiffened on his face. Why is he asking if my family has a good relationship with the Pearson Family? Is he planning to pick a fight with the Pearson Family, or is this the time he was wrongly accused? That day, Olivia’s expression did not look great. Thinking about it, she faced her fair share of criticism that day.

“We’re really close. You can say that we’re family friends. What’s the matter?” Although he felt dubious, Richard still answered truthfully.

Thomas nodded. It was a good thing that they were close as it might be possible to find something out. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

“Did you know about Olivia’s condition the other day?” According to Olivia’s current physical condition, she might not last long, and he had to treat her as soon as possible.

“W-Why are you asking me this?” Richard’s face looked strange, and there was even a hint of panic.

“You just have to answer me truthfully,” Thomas replied. As long as he knew about her condition, he had the chance to help her.

Richard shook his head. “Come with me. I only know that Olivia is sick, but I really don’t know exactly what’s going on. I’ll lead you to my father. He should know more about this.”

Not only was Quincy the director of Prescott Hospital, he was also the leading figure in the medical field in Irieson.

Trailing behind Richard, Thomas arrived at the director’s office.
