Saying it like that, even the director’s words seemed somewhat forced.
Pearl understood that the director wanted to protect her employees, so she didn’t make a big deal out of it.
As they were about to leave, Leah walked in stemnly and asked, “What are you guys doing here?”

Leah explained without a hint of guilt, “The radiator in their room burned out this afternoon, so we had to shut it off. I was just about to get someone to fix it.”
Hearing this, the director’s expression softened a bit. “See, it was all just a misunderstanding.’
Pearl couldn’t find any proof at the moment, so she just nodded and followed Richard back to the ward.
Upon their return, they realized that the room’s temperature hadn’t improved, despite the hours that had passed. Pearl, who
was sensitive to the cold, began to shiver. Richard quickly wrapped her in a blanket.
“Leah is really vengeful, and she’s targeting me of all people,” Pearl complained with irritation.
“I’ll talk to the director again.”
Richard was about to leave when Pearl grabbed his wrist. “It’s okay, it’s not that cold. Besides, going to the director won’t solve anything.”
Pearl had a point.

“Give me a minute, I’ll make a call” With that, Richard stepped outside.
After more than half an hour, Richard returned with four men carrying a large rectangular object.
Standing by the door, Richard instructed, “Take this thing in and get it installed.”
Pearl was surprised. “What is this?”
“This is the new radiator that I just bought. Since the hospital’s radiator isn’t working, let’s just dismantle it and replace it with a new one,” Richard explained firmly.
His words left Pearl momentarily speechless, surprised by his assertive action.
Shortly after, the director called Richard. “M-Mister Richard, I heard you’re planning to replace our radiator with a new one?” The director found it unacceptable.
“It’s been hours, and the radiator still isn’t fixed. Your efficiency is pretty low. As for the employee in charge of the radiator, you can just fire her,” Richard retorted, his tone
laced with sarcasm, showing no hesitation.
