"Where are you?"

"| can't disclose the exact location, but I'm safe. Don't worry." Pearl was surprised by Damian's call. They hadn't been in touch for months, ever since

he went overseas to confront Katie about her pregnancy.

"I'm back. Let's meet up if you're free.” Damian's voice sounded hoarse and impulsive, as if he had been drinking.

"Have you been drinking?" Pearl frowned. Damian wasn't the type to get drunk easily.

"Yeah, but that's not the point. I've taken care of things on my end. Can we meet?"

Pearl sensed there was more to the story than Damian was letting on. "What's the outcome?"

There was a long pause before Damian finally responded, "She's dead.”

Dead? Pearl's heart sank. "What happened?"

Damian sounded uneasy, as if he thought Pearl might suspect foul play. "She had health issues, and the pregnancy was risky. There was an accident

that caused her to miscarry. She was really worried and... she passed away a few days later."

Pearl silently mourned for Katie. "What about Jenny?"

Damian's tone turned cold. "She's gone too."

Pearl was speechless.

After sharing the news, Damian's tone changed. "So, when can we meet?"

Pearl hesitated, frowning. "Not yet. | have sthings to take care of first. Let's wait a little longer."

Although she sounded calm, Damian sensed a hint of indifference in her words. "Are you upset about Katie being pregnant with my child?"

Pearl hadn't even thought about that. She had liked him before, but that was when they were young and naive. As tpassed, their relationship

evolved into a deep friendship.

"No, you're overthinking it."

"Yeah, | guess you're right," Damian replied with a bitter laugh. "You've moved on so this doesn't matter to you."

"You're drunk," Pearl said softly.

"Actually, | replied to all the love letters you sent me, right on the back of each one."

Pearl was taken aback by Damian's revelation. She had assumed her letters were returned unread, taking it as rejection. She had never thought to

check the back of the letters.
