Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl romance Capítulo 203

"You said you saw me hug Sophia. Can you tell me who you went out with?"

Richard's inquiry was met with Pearl's silence.

"It was Hanzel, wasn't it?"

Pearl couldn't waste time arguing with Richard now. She turned and left with the others when Hanzel was pushed out of the room, leaving Richard behind in contemplation.

When Pearl arrived at the ward and saw Hanzel's tightly closed eyes and pale lips, guilt surged within her. If only she hadn't texted Hanzel, he would still be energetically filming on set, not lying motionless in a hospital bed.

Pearl had used the best herbs to stop the bleeding and had applied Simon's detoxification secret formula. In theory, Hanzel should be awake by now, but he remained unresponsive.

As if in response to her thoughts, Hanzel began to stir. His fingers twitched, and his eyes slowly opened.

"Pearl..."

Pearl was in a trance, but she leaned over when she heard him. "What's wrong?"

Hanzel, relieved to see Pearl safe despite her tired appearance, replied, "Nothing. I'm just glad you're safe."

Richard, looking displeased, blurted out, "I heard your confession just now."

Hanzel, however, didn't seem the least bit embarrassed. He smiled and replied, "What's wrong, Rick? I simply confessed my love for the girl I care about. I didn't force her into anything. Why are you mad?"

"You know that she's your future sister-in-law," Richard pointed out.

Hanzel's lips curled into a sarcastic sneer. "I used to believe that you were good for Pearl, but lately, I've seen her in a bad mood because of you. I've come to realize that my compromise was a mistake. Pearl won't be happy with you."

"How can you be so sure she won't be happy?"
