Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard)
Chapter 304

Chapter 304

Pearl panicked because of Richard's silence. "I'm really-"

"Why are you explaining, Pearl? You don't have to explain yourself!" Glenn felt sorry for Pearl, who seemed distressed by her failed attempt to clarify the situation. He became hostile toward Richard. "Did you come all the way here to interrogate your girlfriend, Mister Richard?

Richard was worried about Pearl, but his coldness grew because of how protective Glenn was of Pearl. "I'm talking to my girlfriend. Stop butting in!”

Glenn set aside the medical supplies and positioned himself in front of Pearl, determined to advocate for her. "I didn't want to intrude, but don't you think any man would prioritize their girlfriend in such a situation? The person who shielded Pearl from the sulfuric acid is already in the surgery room. Yet, as her boyfriend, you didn't do anything. Instead, you're interrogating her here! What kind of man does that?"

"It's none of your business!" Richard inched closer while exuding a horrible aura, but he stopped in his tracks when he heard that. His eyes gleamed with grief while watching Pearl, who was partially hidden by Glenn's imposing presence.

Pearl attempted to call out to Richard but experienced a sudden, excruciating pain in her arm. She gasped and doubled over, breaking into a cold sweat due to the intensity of the pain.

Seeing her agony, Glenn immediately asked, "Should I fetch a doctor for you?"

Pearl couldn't speak through the pain. She bowed her head, shaking it to indicate she didn't need immediate medical attention. As the acute pain gradually subsided, she looked up but found Richard had disappeared, and the door was slightly ajar.

"Why did he leave..." she mumbled

Pearl stood up but Glenn abruptly stopped her. "You shouldn't go after someone like him. He didn't even show concern for your injury."

"You got me wrong. I'm not going after him..." Taking a deep breath, Pearl's heart skipped at beat at the thought of how Blake had shielded her.

She vividly remembered the gruesome and frightening wound on his back. "I'm wondering how Blake is doing now."

Glenn shifted his gaze to the illuminated signboard indicating the surgery room nearby. His expression grew somber. "He's still in surgery. His injury is quite serious, and it may take a while to heal." "Don't worry. It's going to be okay." Pearl patted Glenn's shoulders.

Misinterpreting her intent, Glenn smiled, "It's alright. I understand that his injury can't be treated quickly, but at least, it's on his back. If it were on his face, he'd probably be devastated. "I'm not joking." Pearl looked at Glenn seriously.

"Really?" Glenn was taken aback, as he had never heard such an absurd idea from Pearl before. Surprised, he asked, "Can you really restore his skin?"

Chuckding, Pearl answered, "Of course. Have you ever heard about Simon?"

"Simon Freeman, the doctor who works miracles?"

Pearl's I*ps twitched as she listened to Glenn's admiration for Simon. "You're overestimating him, but yes, he is my mentor. Now, do you believe me?" Glenn's eyes instantly lit up. "Oh, you're Simon's protege. Can you do me a favor then?"

"What kind of favor? Tell me, and I'll think about it." Pearl touched her chin curiously, trying to figure out what he wanted. Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FɪndNøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"Well... I have a childhood friend who's suffering from an unusual ailment. She prefers to stay in darkness and is terrified of light. Could you examine her?"

Pearl frowned. "Photophobia?"

"Probably. She's sought treatment at numerous hospitals to no avail. Can you help her? She's a genuinely kind person, but she's had a bad experience, and her mother passed away when she was young..." Glenn sighed deeply, moved by his friend's plight.
