Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl

Chapter 757

Despite Estrella's excruciating pain, she was left in shock by the scene she had witnessed.

Pearl shook her head. "No, he's just unconscious."

Pearl quickly retrieved her phone and dialed 911 to report the incident to the police.

After providing the necessary information to the authorities, Pearl heard a car horn in the distance. She helped Estrella to her feet, even though Estrella moaned in pain while clutching her wounded belly.

"I know you're in a lot of pain, but please hang on a little longer. We'll be at the hospital soon. The car is here. Let's get in."

"You're Miss Pearl, aren't you?" A car pulled up beside them, and a sturdy-looking man stepped out. But when he saw Estrella's condition, he frowned. "She's bleeding a lot. Is she going to mess up my car?"

Pearl asked, "How much is your car worth?"

The man scratched his head. "Around 27 thousand dollars."

"Give me your bank account details later. I'll transfer 68 thousand to you. Please take her to the hospital now."

The man's hesitation disappeared when he heard about the payment. He agreed without further delay. "Alright, I'll drive her to the hospital."

Suddenly, he noticed the unconscious man on the ground and seemed uncertain. "What about this guy?"

"Leave him. The police will come and take care of him," Pearl said. She then helped Estrella into the back seat of the car and got in herself.

The man drove them to the hospital, and Estrella was rushed into the emergency room upon arrival.

Pearl decided to look up Estrella's information while she was undergoing surgery. It wasn't an investigation but rather an attempt to find contact information for Estrella's family, so they could be informed about her condition.

Besides, she merely rescued Estrella. She had no obligation to stay at the hospital and keep taking care of her.

However, while searching, Pearl discovered that Estrella had an ex-boyfriend named Silas. She couldn't help but wonder if it was the same Silas she knew.

As she pondered this, she recalled Yelena's harsh words from earlier, "Esti won't let you off!"

Pearl began to suspect that Esti referred to Estrella Ford. Deep in thought, she gazed at the emergency room doors.

The world seemed small, bumping into acquaintances unexpectedly.

But it wasn't something she should dwell on. Pearl decided to call Estrella's parents using an anonymous number to inform them about the accident. She also paid Estrella's medical fees as a gesture of kindness.

Before leaving hastily, Pearl sensed a familiar presence brushing past her, but she didn't see the person clearly.

However, that person recognized her.

Behind her mask, the woman's eyes welled up with tears.

"Aunt Beah, look at that person. Doesn't she look like Pea?" a woman beside her whispered curiously. Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

"Shh, keep your voice down, or she'll hear you."

"Do you miss her? Should we go and meet her if you can't bear it anymore?"

"It’s okay, Gigi. Remember, we can't burden Pearl again. Do you understand?"

"Then why did we come back to Enswood?"

"It's because... sometimes, the most dangerous place is also the safest place."
