Chapter 563

At first, Pearl wanted to tell Damian about the situation once she returned to Enswood.

However, she had second thoughts due to Katie’s predicament.

After the birthday party, Reese helped Pearl with all the necessary arrangements and

booked their flight tickets for the next day. Pearl returned to Enswood accompanied by

Reese and

Drew.

Upon her arrival in Enswood, Pearl rushed to the hospital where Richard was admitted.

Drew joined her, curious to meet Richard.

They hailed a cab to

City hospital and inquired about the location of Richard’s ward. Upon arrival at the door of

his room, they heard sobbing from inside. Pearl’s heart skipped a beat as she entered the

ward and found Richard lying pale in his bed.

Susan and Mobius were seated nearby. Susan appeared devastated and beside herself

with grief.

“Aunt Susan, I… I’m back!” Pearl said, deeply moved.

At the sight of Pearl, Susan rushed towards her, embracing her and bursting into loud

sobs.” Oh, Pearl… Rick has been in a coma for ten days. Even the best doctor I could find

hasn’t been able to wake him up. What should I do if I lose him?”

Susan’s anguish brought tears to Pearl’s eyes. “It’s alright, Madam. I’ll save him no matter

what. He’s my fiance.”

With her eyes closed, Pearl suppressed her pain and tears. After taking a deep breath, she

said, “Let me take a look at his condition. After the check–up, I’ll figure out how to save

him.”

Pearl donned a surgical gown and gloves before examining Richard’s injuries. She couldn’t

help but feel her heartache deepen as she discovered the extent of his injuries.

Not only had Richard suffered a broken back, but his body was riddled with injuries, and he

had even aspirated water. Given the severity of his condition, surviving the accident was

itself a stroke of luck.

“Aunt Susan, Rick has sustained severe internal and external injuries, including damage to

his heart. But don’t worry. I’ll contact my mentor, Simon, right away. I’ll ask him to come

and help us. I’ll do everything I can to help save Rick. You don’t need to worry,” Pearl

assured

Susan.

Susan’s fears were somewhat alleviated by Pearl’s reassurance, and she stopped crying.

She then noticed a man standing nearby, wearing a cap and a mask.

“And who might this be?”

“This is the man who saved me. His name is Drew Cooper,” Pearl explained.

Drew removed his mask and greeted Susan with a warm smile. “Hello, Madam. I’m Drew

Cooper.”

Susan became flabbergasted. “You’re… Sean?”

Drew had anticipated this confusion. He shook his head and clarified, “No, Madam. I’m not

Sean. I’m Drew,”

Susan found it hard to believe. “You look so much like Sean. If you hadn’t told me, I’d think

you were him. Oh, yes, there’s a tear–shaped birthmark at the corner of Sean’s eye, but

you don’t have it. Yes, you’re not him.”

“Madam, may I ask when your son was born?”

“Eighteenth of March in the year 1999.”

Drew’s eyes lit up as he realized the uncanny coincidence. It was also his birthday. Sean

was indeed his older brother.

The

The thought excited him. “What a coincidence! Our birthdays are the same. My mother

was pregnant with twins at that time, and my brother didn’t survive. If the timing is right,

I’d think that Sean and I are twins…”

Drew marveled at the coincidence, but Susan’s heart turned cold. She couldn’t believe in

such a coincidence.

She recalled her pregnancy and the check ups, which had confirmed she was expecting

only one child. She couldn’t afford to lose another son, especially with Hugo’s betrayal and

Richard’s critical condition weighing heavily on her heart.
