Richard looked down at Pearl, who was in his arms. She looked to be in pain, covered all over in

injuries. He quickly rushed her to the hospital. And as they were family, he brought her straight to

Hugo’s office.

After Hugo attentively inspected Pearl, he frowned.

“What’s wrong with her? Is she severely hurt?” As Richard observed Pearl curl up in pain, his

expression turned solemn.

“She sustained several heavy injuries and a slight concussion.” Hugo cleared his throat. “But she’s in

this much pain because she’s on her period and is feeling weak.”

Richard’s ears turned red when he heard Pearl was on her period, but he maintained a neutral

expression. “Is there any way to relieve her pain?”

Hugo put both hands in his pocket and shrugged. “No, she just has to bear it. All right, I have a surgery

to get to. You can stay and help her with the hospitalization procedures. Her injuries will take some time

to heal.” He walked out, and a silence fell over the room.

“Water…” Pearl slowly opened her eyes and covered her aching belly. She said weakly, “I want water.”

“Here.” Richard got her a glass of warm water. Seeing beads of sweat on her forehead, he handed her

a tissue.”

“Thank you. I really do like you. You’re quite attentive.”

Even when in deep pain, Pearl did not forget to tease him.

Richard frowned. “Miss Pearl, I’ve already made myself clear the other day. I hope you’ll stop with

these jokes.”

“Relax. You’re such a dud.”

“I don’t like jokes.”

Pearl pursed her lips and lowered her head to sip her water.

Suddenly, Richard was called to an urgent meeting. He stood up and said, “I have work to attend to. I’ll

have the hospitalization procedures done later. Rest well.”

“Okay.”

After he left, Pearl’s phone rang.

“Miss Pearl, are you okay? I heard you’re in the hospital,” a worried Wayne said anxiously.

Pearl was shocked. “How did you know?”

“Haven’t you

been reading the hot pages? The news of Hanzel’s fan kidnapping you and Richard rescuing you is all

over it. He even carried you to the hospital! The paparazzi got it all on camera. The whole Internet is

talking about you and Richard.”

Pearl quickly scrolled through the articles. As expected, the top three trending articles were discussing

this.

[They’re secretly in love with each other.]

“Help me get rid of the articles and manage the company for a few days. Call me if any problem

arises.”

“Okay, Miss Pearl,” Wayne then added scornfully, “By the way, I’ve already dealt with that fangirl. She’ll

be locked up in jail

for the rest of her life.”

“Mm–hm.” Pearl felt that it was not that simple.

“And Waldorf Enterprises wishes to cooperate with us. They’re offering great profits but there is a

condition. They wish to meet Cerubleu’s president.”

Pearl frowned. “They’re insisting on meeting with me?”

“I know it’s inconvenient for you, so I turned it down. I told them we’d work together if we get a chance

in the future.”

“Okay.”

Pearl hung up and smirked. ‘You wish to meet me? Oh, Richie, we’ll cross that bridge when we get

there.”
