"Ray, are you okay?"
"Ray! What's wrong with you? What happened?"
On that dark and starless night, Pearl and her men blocked me in an alley not far from my home.
The sky was covered by thick clouds, without a single starlight, and the entire street was dead silent.
Two burly men held my hands tightly, making me unable to move.
The cold wind was howling, and my sister's anxious calls kept coming from the mobile phone on the ground.
"Ray? What's going on? Say something..."
My cold breath flowed slowly in the air, and the atmosphere was oppressive and suffocating.
Pearl stood there, her eyes full of contempt.
She bent down to pick up the phone and hung up without hesitation.
I looked up at her, but was mercilessly kicked by someone.
" What are you looking at!"
"Keep staring at Pearl, are you still thinking about your illusory love?"
The man holding my arm leaned closer to me and taunted.
He pinched my face and said in amazement: "You look a bit like Nathan. No wonder Pearl likes you."
With that, he slammed me to the ground, grabbing my hair and making me look directly at Pearl.
I still can't believe that Pearl would do this to me.
I looked at her and asked one last question: "Why?"
But she didn't even look at me, she just gently tucked her hair behind her ears.
The man who kicked me just now sneered when he heard what I said: "You dare to ask why? How dare you scratch Nathan 's hand! His hand is used to save people!"
" Who are you? How can you be compared with him?"
He patted my face and sneered, "Don't blame us. Even if you bring two pairs of hands to compensate, you can't afford it."
So, Pearl kidnapped me late at night just because I accidentally scratched the hand of the white moonlight in her heart?
The only person she cared about from beginning to end was Nathan.
Pearl squatted down and took my right hand to examine it carefully.
In stark contrast to her warm palms, the cold words that came out of her mouth were: "I can't let you become an obstacle to him."
" Stop dreaming about becoming a doctor. From now on, you won't need these useless things. You just need to stay by my side."
Nathan is a child of destiny and should pursue his own dreams. But do I deserve to have my right hand broken, my spine broken, and be forced to curl up behind her and become a substitute?
I stood up angrily and shouted hoarsely, trying to attract the attention of passers-by outside the alley.
However, I never expected that since Pearl was determined to do such a thing, she would naturally clean up the entire street.
I struggled desperately, but in return a group of people took turns surrounding me and controlling my movements.
The medical encyclopedia in the bag was also thrown roughly to the ground, and with a "swish" sound, it was torn into two halves.
Today is my birthday, and that medical encyclopedia was the last gift my mother gave me before she passed away.
Pearl saw this scene, and a trace of pity flashed in her eyes.
So , she squatted down pretentiously, touched the book on the ground, and said regretfully: "It's okay, you only need me in the future, you don't need these."
I tried to hold back my tears, but my vision was already blurry.
Cold tears slid down my cheeks and dripped into my mouth, but I was completely unaware.
There was only one thought in my mind: that was the only thought my mother left for me in this world.
Pearl waved her hand, signaling them to take action.
It was not until this moment that I truly felt the taste of fear.
"Pearl, you can't do this to me!"
I screamed in despair, but in return the people who were besieging me picked up a steel bar and hit me hard on my left arm.
Severe pain came from my arm and I screamed. I was really scared. If my hand was broken, I would never be able to stand on the operating table again in my life.
So, like a wild dog, I crawled forward bit by bit, begging them to let me go incoherently.
I grabbed Pearl's skirt, "Pearl... please, let me go... I can't live without my right hand, I'm a doctor..."
"I'm really going to die... please..."
She reached out and pulled her skirt back up, completely ignoring my pleas.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's my fault. I won't bother you anymore, okay? I'll leave here, far away from you, so that you can never find me again, okay?"
One after another, the steel bars hit my right hand and arm, until they were bloody and mangled. I couldn't even feel the pain, or even the existence of my right hand.
"Pearl... I don't like you anymore, please let me go... I still have to stand on the operating table..."
If I don’t even have a hand to save people, I really won’t be able to survive.
I can lose anything except my ideals.
So I crawled in front of her like a wild dog, moving forward bit by bit, begging her to let me go.
I gave her all my last bit of dignity, but she remained unmoved.
Only after seeing that my left arm and right hand were completely disabled did they stop and look at me with pity.
"Don't worry, I will marry you."
"But you can't stand in Nathan 's way."
I fell to the ground completely, and my right hand gently brushed across my left arm that was about to turn into pulp.
The misery and humiliation that had accumulated for a long time finally burst out at this moment.
I stared blankly with my eyes wide open, tears streaming down my cheeks onto my bloody right hand, merging with the blood.
I screamed uncontrollably in Pearl's direction, turning all the pain and fear into sharp cries.
"Pearl! Don't ever think about seeing me again in your life!"
"You are destined to be unable to find love in this life, and your life is worse than death!"
