Chapter 212

After resigning, Pearl focused on taking care of Hanzel to ensure his quick recovery.

During this time, she visited Laura in her room. However, Laura was asleep, and Pearl didn’t want to

disturb her, so she simply handed the cookies she had baked to Laura’s father.

Once Hanzel was discharged from the hospital, he felt a strong urge to take Pearl out for some fun.

“Let’s go to the amusement park today, Pearl. It’s been ages since I last went!” Hanzel looked down,

appearing both sad and eager.

Pearl, having matured earlier than her peers, had lost interest in amusement parks long ago. When she

heard his suggestion, she turned him down. “No, you can go, but I’m not coming with you.”

“Please, can you come with me? After all, I got injured because of you. How could you abandon your

savior? What a heartless woman…” Hanzel feigned a pitiful expression, his eyes glimmering.

Pearl knew he was using guilt to persuade her and grew annoyed. “Don’t save me then!”

Hanzel retreated when he felt her anger. “I’m sorry, please don’t be upset. How could I not save you? I

would do it even if it meant losing my life.”

“You’ve been in the entertainment industry for so long and have seen plenty of beautiful women. Why

do you care about me?” Pearl was genuinely confused, as she couldn’t fathom why Hanzel cared so

much about her.

Hanzel always had a nonchalant attitude, but when he heard that, he turned serious. “It’s all about the

feelings. Even if I’ve encountered countless beautiful women, you’re the only one in my heart.

His words might have been cheesy, but he was sincere.

In the end, Pearl gave in to his pestering and went to the amusement park with him.

“I need to have some fun before returning to work. Let’s go on the roller coaster. I love it,” Hanzel

exclaimed enthusiastically as a roller coaster passed overhead.

“I’m afraid of heights,” Pearl confessed.

Hanzel tugged at her blouse and shook it. “Please. Go with me.”

“No, not even if you paid me.”

A passing child overheard their conversation and chimed in, “Mom, this lady is such a scaredy cat. She

can’t even go on the roller coaster.”

Pearl was speechless.

“See, even the kid is laughing at you. Come with me.”

Pearl gulped as she looked at the towering ride and started crying in her heart. What had she gotten

herself into?

They boarded the roller coaster and fastened their seatbelts. Pearl felt her feet dangling and fear

creeping in. Regret began to gnaw at her.

“Don’t worry. If you’re scared, just hold onto my hand, and you’ll be fine,” Hanzel reassured her with a

smile as he reached for her hand.

The roller coaster started moving, and Pearl’s heart raced. With each sharp turn, she lost control of her

emotions, her face turning an unhealthy shade of green while her stomach churned.

Suddenly, the roller coaster stopped. At first, everyone assumed it was part of the ride and eagerly

anticipated what would happen next. But after five motionless minutes, panic began to set in.

“Help. Is there something wrong with the controller?”
