Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl romance Capítulo 178

Pearl didn't catch what Simon said next as she urgently informed Richard about the crisis. Together, they rushed to the hospital.

When Pearl entered the ward and saw the mess, she called out, "Where are you, Simon?"

"Over here!"

Suddenly, Simon crawled out from under the bed. "I'm here."

The floor was scattered with several men, visibly trembling. One of them attempted to rise but struggled to do so.

"Who are they?"

"I have no idea. They tried to attack me, but thankfully, I know some martial arts, or I'd be in trouble." Terribly frightened, Simon patted his chest.

"You know martial arts?" Pearl was surprised, considering Simon's typical activities involved wine and chess, leaving little time for martial arts training.

"I gave them some injections. It might take them half an hour to recover."

"But why did you hide under the bed?" Pearl assumed Simon had sought refuge there to avoid danger.

"I was worried that if someone walked in and found me alone, they might think I was the attacker. I'd be long gone if they called the police." Covering his eyes, Simon sobbed while sneakily glancing at Pearl, who seemed indifferent to his tears.

Relief washed over Richard when he noticed that Susan was safe in her bed. "Thank you for your assistance, Mister Simon. If it weren't for you, my mom might have been in danger."

"You're so heartless, asking me to leave after using me." Simon, wiping his tears, grabbed his luggage and began to leave.

"Oh, right." Pearl stopped Simon as he walked away.

"What is it, Pea? Can't bear to see me go, can you? I knew it. You care about me. That's why you suddenly realized your mistake…"

"My silver needles are getting a bit old. Just give me yours." Pearl not only didn't care about Simon, she was even plotting against him.

That realization hit Simon hard. With a sob, he decided not to trust Pearl anymore.
