Chapter 623

Pearl rushed to the hospital as quickly as she could.

Gigi had been taken to the emergency room, and Pearl sent Primo away, deciding to wait for her alone.

After what felt like a long wait, the light outside the emergency room was still on, and a serious–looking

doctor emerged.

“Do we have the patient’s family here?” he inquired.

Pearl walked over. “I am.”

The doctor delivered the news with a somber tone, “The patient sustained serious burns. While we

were able to stabilize her, we can’t completely heal her burns.”

Pearl understood that this was the best outcome. “That’s alright. Just make sure she stays alive.” She

would take care of the rest.

Gigi was wheeled into the room, and when she regained consciousness, only Pearl was by her side.

“Pea…” Gigi’s voice was hoarse, as if she was extremely dehydrated.

Pearl picked up a glass of water and offered it to her. Gigi took a few gulps and calmed down.

“Do my burns look horrible?” Gigi seemed concerned about her appearance, and Pearl understood that

she must be feeling terrible right now.

“They don’t. Don’t worry, I told you I would help you with your recovery.”

Hope flashed across Gigi’s eyes but quickly faded. “I… Never mind. You’re going abroad in a few days.

I’ll just be a burden.”

Pearl tugged on the corner of Gigi’s blanket and scolded her gently. “Don’t talk nonsense. You’re not a

burden. I’m going abroad, but I can just bring you along.”

Gigi frowned. “No, if I go abroad with you, Master Jordan will notice.” She was well aware that Pearl

had her reasons for faking her death. She wouldn’t want Ezra to find out, so if she went with her, he

would start questioning.

Pearl had an idea. “Let’s fake another death.”

Gigi paused. “What do you mean?”

“You ‘died‘ in this fire.”

Gigi immediately grasped the plan but remained uncertain. “Would that really work? What if he finds

out?”

“Don’t worry. I’ll arrange for all information about the fire to be sealed. Since you were visibly injured

and brought to the hospital in front of witnesses, it will appear as if you were hurt. All we need is for the

hospital to provide a fake death certificate.”

Gigi remained skeptical, shaking her head. “But what about the hospital? Can we trust them to go

along with it?”

Pearl chuckled. “I can’t do it, but Hugo can.”

Gigi finally understood. Yes, Hugo was a doctor, so he would be able to do that.

“So, I can go abroad with you then?” she asked, her voice filled with hope.

Pearl nodded and cupped her face, “Yes, you’ll be reunited with your Aunt Beah soon.”

“I thought you might hate me for keeping your mother all these years,” Gigi confessed, unable to meet

Pearl’s gaze.

“Why would I hate you? I’ve said it before, you’ve taken care of my mom for years so I should be

thanking you. There’s no reason for me to resent you.” Pearl playfully tapped Gigi’s hand.

“I’m sorry for being so petty before this.”

Pearl held her hand, “Don’t worry about it. After this, we’ll be a family and live happily together.”

Three days later, their group was ready to leave.
