Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl romance Capítulo 182

What Hugo said affected Pearl deeply.

Richard saw her zoning out and asked, "What's on your mind, Pearl?"

Coming back to the present, Pearl met his gaze. "What Hugo said made me feel…"

"You think it's not that simple too, right?" Richard looked into her eyes and read her mind.

"He used your mother's life to threaten me, yet he risked himself by grabbing the knife from Abby to protect her. Do you think he really cares for your mother?" Hugo's actions were unusual, so Pearl couldn't understand what was on his mind.

"What do you think?"

"I think he's just pretending to grab the knife."

Richard sighed. He and Hugo lived together for so many years, but he didn't know Hugo well and didn't have a good relationship with thim.

However, when Pearl said that, even though he suspected that, he still asked, "Pretending?"

"Yes, of course he was pretending. Think about it. Why would a child take his mother's safety so lightly? Do you really think the hospital removing Madam's breathing tube is an accident? The nurses do rounds daily, and Hugo is the director of the hospital. Who would dare do something like that without his approval?"

Pearl analylzed the situation and made a good point.

"My mom has always been very nice to him." Richard pressed his lips together and sounded serious.
