Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard)
Chapter 1049

Richard was experiencing just as much pain as Pearl was. She was pregnant with their child, but she wanted to get an abortion without any explanation. Richard's mind was a mess. To avoid saying something hurtful, he decided to leave. Having figured this out, he quickened his pace.

When he reached the corner, he glanced back and saw Pearl crouched, hands covering her face and curled up into a tiny ball. He knew she must be crying.

He took a deep breath and made a phone call. "Hey."

"What's up? What can I do for you?"

"Could you come to the hospital to be with Pearl? She's here."

"Hospital?!" The voice on the other end grew louder. "Why is she alone in the hospital?"

"She's having an abortion. Can you come and keep her company for a while?"

"Abortion?! Is Pearl pregnant? Why does she want to abort the child?"

"I don't know, but she must have her reasons."

"Why do you sound so angry?" Esther was furious, her tone rising. "Are you her husband, or am I? Shouldn't you be the one there with her?"

How could he avoid taking responsibility at this point?! Esther found Richard utterly despicable. Despite her thoughts, she quickly got up to pack her things, preparing to go to the hospital. S~ᴇaʀᴄh the Findɴovel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"We had a little disagreement, and she might not want to see me for now."

"You're a grown man. Why are you being so dramatic?" Esther scolded him as she put on her coat.

Richard gave her the hospital's address and hung up. When he looked back again, Pearl was nowhere to be seen.

Esther couldn't reach Pearl's phone as she had moved to another hospital. Pearl wasn't confident she could undergo the abortion calmly under Hugo's watchful eyes.

Lying on the operating table, Pearl stared at the bright light above, her eyelids heavy. She had just been injected with anesthesia, and as the needle pricked her skin, she felt a gentle sting, which reminded her of Richard. He was probably still angry with her right now.

He must be thinking that she was heartlessly aborting the child they had been hoping for so long. She was the cruelest person in the world.

A bitter and intolerable sensation weighed on her heart, but she couldn't resist the drowsiness. The anesthesia was starting to take effect.

She felt her body slowly floating, and there was a sense of emptiness in her lower abdomen, as if something had been taken out. Her body felt much lighter. It felt like she was dreaming.

About half an hour later, she slowly opened her eyes. The surgery was over. She got up, feeling only some discomfort.

"The procedure was a success, ma'am. Have a good rest when you go back," the nurse comforted her softly.

Her child was gone. That realization struck Pearl with stark clarity.
