Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl romance Capítulo 51

Pearl was moved by how determined Richard looked.

But they didn’t get very far. When Pearl thought they would be caught, they heard the sound of sirens.

The men chasing them got scared and started to run away. But police officers, led by Wayne, caught them.

Wayne rushed to them and asked, "Miss... Pearl, are you okay?" He quickly corrected how he addressed Pearl when he realized his mistake.

Still in Richard's arms, Pearl said weakly, "I'm fine."

Richard spoke up, "I’m taking her to the hospital. She hurt her leg. You may go home first, Mister Wayne." Inexplicable displeasure hit him when he noticed Wayne's concern for Pearl.

"Okay." Knowing that it was quite inappropriate for him to stay here, Wayne nodded and left with the police officers to handle those kidnappers.

It was already three o'clock in the morning when Richard brought Pearl to the hospital, and Hugo, who was working the night shift, noticed their distressed condition. "What happened to you guys?"

Richard explained apathetically, "Pearl was kidnapped, and I just saved her."

"Kidnapped?" Hugo frowned. "Why didn't you tell us?"

Richard glanced at Pearl in his arms and said indifferently, "No need to trouble Dad and Mom, it might complicate things. Besides, she sprained her leg. Just get her the treatment she needs." He then gently laid Pearl down in the bed.

With a sense of helplessness, Hugo remarked, "You sprained your leg twice in a row. You better be careful, or you might develop long-term issues from multiple sprains."

Pearl touched her nose awkwardly. "All right."

After tending to her wound, a nurse called Hugo away. Richard took a seat in front of her bed and asked, "Who kidnapped you this time?"

Pearl felt much better now, because surprisingly, Richard took her side.

Suddenly, her phone rang. It was Wayne.

"They confessed that Abby gave the orders, Miss Pearl. The cops have gone to the Flores Residence. I guess they'll arrest Abby tonight."

Those men were smart enough to realize they could get a milder punishment by admitting their guilt. They knew those who denied their involvement would face harsher penalties.

After ending the call, Pearl closed her eyes in exhaustion.

Richard felt sorry for her when he noticed the dark circles under her eyes. "Just stay here tonight and rest."

But his suggestion made Pearl sigh. "Mister Dustan will get worried if I don't go home."
