Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl

Coughing, Susan asked, “What happened to me?”

Abby held Susan’s hand. “You fainted, Madam, but we found you in time. If we hadn’t, something

serious might have happened. Are you hungry? Let me buy you something to eat.”

Abby then glanced at Pearl and asked, “Could you come with me, Pearl?”

Pearl looked at Richard and nodded because she wanted to escape this awkwardness involving the

three of

them. “Sure.”

After Abby and Pearl left, Abby bought a lot of food, appearing as though she cared deeply for Susan.

However, Pearl knew that a recently awakened patient couldn’t eat that kind of food. Although she

didn’t fully understand Abby’s motives, she decided to remain silent.

Upon reaching the door, Abby suddenly claimed that she needed to get some medicine for her

stomachache and would be back shortly.

“Could you please help me give these to Madam, Pearl?” Abby flashed Pearl an apologetic smile.

Finally, Pearl grasped Abby’s intentions, and an idea sparked in her mind. “Okay.” She accepted the

bag of food and entered the room.

After a brief wait outside, Abby also entered the room. To her surprise, she saw Pearl feeding Susan Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

and even noticed an opened pack of snacks on the table. However, Richard seemed to have left the

room.

“What are you doing, Pearl?” Abby demanded with wide eyes. “Don’t you know that Madam can’t eat

this kind of greasy, high-calorie food? Why did you buy these for her?”

Smiling calmly, Pearl replied, “It’s okay.”

Abby’s bewilderment confused Susan. “What’s wrong, Abby? Is there anything wrong with my food?”

“I’m telling the truth, Madam. Please don’t be upset. I took a quick look at the food and noticed that it’s

not suitable for a patient who hasn’t fully recovered. I’m just concerned about your health… Besides,

Pearl

wasn’t very careful.”

Abby acted as if Pearl had committed a grave offense, all for Susan’s sake.

Pearl, still smiling calmly, said, “Don’t worry. I know what Madam should eat.”

Taking a step forward, Abby sounded angry as she falsely accused Pearl, “I’m sure this wasn’t a

careless mistake given your medical skills. Why did you do this?”

Pearl looked up at her and asked in response, “What if the food I gave her is actually suitable?”

“Huh? I saw it, Pearl. She can’t eat these!” Abby thought Pearl must be joking, as she knew Susan

couldn’t eat those items after her careful inspection.

“Abby, is there some kind of misunderstanding…” Susan tried to mediate since Abby seemed to be

overreacting.

“Stop eating it, Madam. I’ll get you something else.” Abby attempted to remove Susan’s food, but as

she approached, she was stunned when she finally saw what it was.

What on earth was this? There was a package of delicate, nutritious food placed in front of Susan,

looking incredibly delicious and appealing.

However, the pile of snacks she had bought made her fail to notice this pack of food.

“When did you buy this…” Abby smiled awkwardly.

Pearl fed Susan again and replied calmly, “I bought it when you weren’t around, and I got the snacks

for myself. Is there a problem?”

Tongue-tied, Abby hadn’t anticipated that Pearl would see through her scheme and effortlessly resolve

the

situation.
