Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl romance Capítulo 435

In the restaurant, Leah's anger from the previous day had vanished as she looked at Hugo. She suddenly felt much better.

"How have you been, Leah?"

Leah lowered her face shyly. "I've been quite well. The hospital promoted me to a manager, so I'm catching up to you." She had aspirations of working alongside him and becoming a great doctor.

"But I'm not a doctor anymore." Hugo sighed, his disappointment evident.

"What?" Leah couldn't believe that the man she had been pursuing had given up his passion for medicine. "Why?"

"Because... Rick and Pearl hate me, and to avoid them, I had to sell my hospital and work for a different company." With just a few sentences, Hugo managed to paint the image of a young man who had been wronged by his brother and future sister-in-law.

Leah wholeheartedly believed him. As she gazed at his handsome face, her heart ached, and she felt a deep sense of indignation. "Don't worry too much about it. Someone will help you reclaim what you've lost!"

Hugo knew his manipulation was working, so he smiled and nodded. "It's fine. I've gotten used to it. Besides, I've come to terms with reality."

"Why should you just go along with their wishes? I thought Rick was a good person, but he's helping that woman bully you!" Leah's anger intensified as she spoke.

"Do you have any issues with Pearl?" Hugo sensed the intense dislike from Leah, which was exactly what he had hoped for.

Leah exploded at the mention of Pearl. "When we were studying abroad, I was the one who found Simon Freeman first, but he chose Pearl over me. He said they were destined to meet. I think Pearl bribed him. I can't stand her at all!"

Hugo muttered, "That's great..."

"I have a question for you, Leah," the director said, his voice low.

Leah noticed that he was in a bad mood. "What is it?"

"Did something happen between you and the patient in room 360? They've sent over two plaques."

"Plaques?" Leah's anxiety grew because she knew something was amiss, having witnessed the events of the previous day.

The director scoffed. "See for yourself!"

Leah looked at the plaques, and her face turned pale. The first one read: "Miss Pearl, the best doctor," while the other one said: "Why hasn't Leah Moore retired yet?"
