Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl romance Capítulo 76

Pearl came while Richard was working in the ward. Richard said gloomily, "The doctor said I'm almost fully recovered and can leave later."

"That's good." Pearl nodded absent-mindedly.

Richard could tell her mind was elsewhere. "You're thinking about the fire, aren't you?"

"Yeah, I hadn't dwelled on it these past few days, but it just came back to me now. I found it very weird."

Pearl couldn't help but feel overwhelmed as she read the news.

Suddenly, she noticed the elegant lady in the corner of the photo, looking in her direction. While the lady's expression was unclear, Pearl could sense her gentleness.

"Pearl? Pearl?"

Linda waved in front of Pearl because the latter was distracted.

"Ah? I'm fine." Pearl shook her head and smiled.

Linda heaved a long sigh. "Good. By the way, I heard that a TV station wants to interview you this afternoon, but…"
