Chapter 112

When Pearl woke up, she saw Richard sitting beside her bed as if he had been waiting there for a long

time.

“What are you doing here?” Pearl wondered why she was still alive, then recalled what had happened

in the cold storage room. “Did you save me?”

“You should rest more and avoid talking so much,” Richard advised in a calm tone. He poured a glass

of warm water for Pearl. “The doctor said you should stay in bed for two days. Just call me if you need

anything. Don’t push yourself.”

Despite his stern tone, Pearl didn’t resist him as much, given that he had saved her life. She refrained

from arguing with him further.

Nodding, she sipped some water.

After a while, she asked curiously, “How did you find me? Did you put a tracking device on me?”

Richard looked puzzled. “What do you mean?”

“I didn’t send you an SOS signal. How did you know where I was?”

“A woman called me and told me about your accident at Dark Bar. She asked me to go and save you.’

Pearl instantly thought of Renee.

Renee must have guessed Pearl’s identity based on the business card and obtained the president’s

contact number from the company’s customer service. She then called Richard. It seemed like she was

pretty smart.

Feeling warmed, Pearl smiled.

“Why are you smiling? You’re so dumb. How could you get locked inside a cold storage room?” Richard

scolded her.

Rolling her eyes, Pearl retorted, “I was trying to save a damsel in distress, okay? I think it’s my

responsibility to help the young woman find the right path.” Her excuse was rather exaggerated.

An inexplicable joy overwhelmed Richard when Pearl started teasing him again. As a result, they

seemed to have grown closer to each other after today’s incident.

Pearl was resting alone when Richard went to spend some time with Susan. Suddenly, there was a

knock on

the door.

“I’ve come to see you, Pearl. I hope you won’t be angry,” Abby said.

Pearl couldn’t even smile when she saw Abby.

“What’s wrong?”

She couldn’t even be bothered to chat with Abby.

Her indifference filled Abby with bitterness, and tears welled up in her eyes. “I’m just here to visit you,

Pearl. Can’t you be a bit nicer to me?”

“It’s fine to put on a show in front of others, but there’s really no need to do it when we’re alone.”

Abby kept her head lowered, appearing as if she didn’t understand Pearl. “No, I’m not pretending. I

really wanted to visit you because I want to get along with you. That’s why I—”

“How are you going to explain the incident when we bought food for Madam?”

Pearl couldn’t bring herself to trust Abby after the latter had shown her power on the third day that she

was

back.

“I… I don’t know either. I just suddenly felt that she couldn’t eat that kind of food when I went to the

restroom. I got so agitated, but I didn’t intend to blame you,” Abby stammered.
