Pearl, being the witty person she was, sensed that Estrella was jealous. So, she quickly offered an explanation, "He's a streamer from my company. |

wouldn't be able to face his parents if anything happened to him."

She tactfully conveyed to Estrella that there was nothing romantic between Silas and her and assured her not to worry.

Estrella looked up, her eyes were teary. "I'm sorry. It's my fault. If | hadn't talked to him and distracted him in the car, this accident wouldn't have

happened.”

"Don't blyourself. This isn't your fault at all. It's his responsibility.” Pearl forced a comforting smile and gently patted Estrellas hand. Although it

wasn't the most empathetic thing to say about the unconscious Silas lying in bed, it seemed acceptable since he couldn't hear it.

"What do you mean it's my responsibility?" An irritated voice suddenly interrupted them from behind.

Startled, they turned to see Silas, who had just awakened, appearing somewhat dazed.

"You woke up so quickly. You're lucky," Pearl remarked as she placed a fruit basket by his bedside.

"I'm glad | saw you the moment | woke up. It looks like you're very concerned about me, rushing to the hospital as soon as you heard about my

accident,” Silas said with a charming smile, seemingly oblivious to the emotions of those around him.

Estrellas face drained of color upon hearing his words.

However, Pearl clicked her tongue in disapproval. "Don't flatter yourself. | only chere because | didn't want to face your parents if something

happened to you. Stop thinking too highly of yourself."

Yet Silas remained stubborn. "I don't care. You did rush to the hospital because of me."

Estrella felt somewhat out of place in their conversation. She muttered, "I'll leave you two to talk."

"Just go back on your own. The rain has stopped.” Silas waved her off. Despite having been in a car accident together, he seemed indifferent to

whether Estrella was hurt or not.

Disappointed and feeling humiliated, Estrella hastily left without even saying goodbye to Pearl.

Pearl watched her leave and then turned to glare at Silas. "How could you say that to her? She cwith you and took care of you for so long, and

you treat your savior like that?"

Silas shrugged. "If it weren't for her, | wouldn't have been in a car accident.”

But Pearl had a different perspective. "So, you're saying that her presence affected your mood?" It seemed like Silas had sfeelings toward

Estrella after all.

Silas becflustered. "Stop reading too much into it. You're the only one | care about.”

Pearl's patience was wearing thin. "Letmake this clear one last time: | will never fall in love with you or be with you. Just give up."

Silas pouted. "We'll see about that. You can't say for sure.”

Pearl ignored him and decided to call his parents to arrange for someone to take care of him.

Silas questioned her when he noticed her on the phone, "Who are you calling?"

"Your parents. I'm going to get someone to take care of you," Pearl replied matter-of-factly. It was only logical to call Silas’ parents to take care of him.

Silas immediately objected. "I don't want them taking care of me."

Pearl put away her phone and pointed at the busy nurse nearby. "Then, should | hire a caretaker for you?"

Silas stopped protesting when he realized that Pearl wasn't going to back down. "I want you to take care of me."

Pearl couldn't help but smile at his audacity. "Silas, you must be dreaming.”

"You're saying I'm dreaming?" Silas pouted and feigned a pitiful look.
