Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard)
Chapter 375

Chapter 375

Richard started sweating. "I've been drugged." He could feel his b*dy heating up, and the effects of the drug were becoming more apparent.

Pearl didn't know what to say. She didn't want to look like she was throwing herself at him.

"What do you plan to do then?" Pearl felt helpless. "Why do these women love to drug you? Is sleeping with you some sort of guarantee?"

Richard thought it was Jenny. That was why when he went to grab Pearl, she threw a fit. It was because the drug she dropped in the wine was about to take effect.

"Take me to the hospital." Richard closed his eyes, appearing to be in pain. S~ᴇaʀᴄh the (F)indNƟvᴇl.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"You don't want to do anything while a beauty like me is here with you?" Pearl joked, not wanting to take advantage of his vulnerable state.

Richard shook his head. "No."

Pearl, for some reason, felt annoyed, but she still drove him to the hospital. After a simple checkup, she asked him to stay there for further observation.

"Go home, I'll be fine here on my own," Richard told Pearl.

Ignoring his request, Pearl feigned dizziness. "I had too much to drink, and I'm feeling lightheaded now. I was very careful while driving here, but it's illegal to drive under the influence." She then looked at Richard and smiled cheekily at him.

Richard felt helpless and closed his eyes, choosing not to respond.

Later that night, while they were both trying to sleep, Pearl had taken a spot on the couch near the bed. She was drifting in and out of sleep when she heard Richard's voice.

Richard saw her falling off and said, "Why don't you sleep in the bed?"

Pearl woke up. "Ignore me. Focus on getting your IV drips. I just need a nap. 0."

Richard knew Pearl was stubborn, so he just switched off the lights. He then opened his eyes in the dark because he couldn't sleep.

After some time, Pearl, who was on the verge of falling asleep, heard a voice.

"Pearl, this isn't worth it."

The next morning, Pearl awoke to find an empty bed. She had slept on the couch and her back was sore. Instead of the jacket Richard had given her in her dream, she was covered by a patient's gown. The doctor entered the room, noticed Pearl was awake, and greeted her with a smile. "You're awake, Miss Pearl."

Pearl folded up the gown and sat up, asking, "Where's the patient?"

"Mister Richard left for work early this morning and instructed us not to wake you but to let you wake up naturally."

"Alright," Pearl nodded, stretched, and went to the office too.

When she arrived, she learned that Richard had gone to Hazelton for work. They were sponsoring a series that would last for three days, and he was already on his way to the airport. Pearl lowered her eyes. Richard was still avoiding her.

As she checked her phone, she noticed some news: "The first series starring international actress Jenny Sullivan after returning home has officially begun filming in Hazelton."
