Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl

Pearl nodded and went to Renee’s mother’s room.

Inside, Renee was crying as she called out to her mother.

“Alright, I’m going to take Jennifer to another hospital now,” Richard said. He carefully lifted Jennifer

onto his back, then gently placed her in the back seat.

He took the wheel and drove to the nearest hospital with Renee and Pearl accompanying him.

Upon arrival at the hospital, they encountered resistance from the staff, who were reluctant to accept

the

transfer due to hospital rules.

“I’ll give you three minutes to reconsider. Either help her or get out of our way,” Richard warned, his

imposing presence making them hesitate.

Dealing with the well-known Richard Waldorf before them, they softened their tone.

“Mister Waldorf, I…”

“Three minutes.”

“Alright, alright, please calm down. We’ll admit her to the emergency room right away,” one of the

doctors relented, smiling awkwardly and signaling his colleagues to assist in moving Jennifer to the

emergency

room.

As they waited outside, Renee paced nervously, her eyes tired and ringed with dark circles. Pearl felt a

wave of sympathy for her.

“You’ve been looking after your mom tirelessly. You must be exhausted. Why don’t you sit down and

rest for a while?” Observing Renee’s worn-out appearance, Pearl couldn’t help but feel a sense of

sadness.

“I’m fine. I’m going to wait for her to come out.” Renee shook her head and refused to take a seat.

The surgery seemed to drag on forever, and when the red light finally turned off, Pearl’s legs were

numb from standing.

Renee immediately sprang to her feet, anxiously awaiting the doctor’s exit.

The doctor, wearing glasses, looked around and asked, “Is there a family member here?”

Renee rushed forward. “I’m here!”

“Unfortunately… the patient didn’t take the correct medication after her surgery. This caused her to

cough up blood. The medication she took ended up causing severe damage to her b*dy, so… I’m sorry,

we did everything we could.”

A heavy silence fell over them after the doctor’s announcement.

After a long pause, Renee’s voice trembled as she spoke, “Wrong medication? How is that possible?

The doctors provided all the medication she took, and I personally watched her take them. How could

she have taken the wrong ones? You’re not lying to me, are you?”

The doctor frowned, growing impatient. “Please don’t question our findings. Please get ready to sign

some

release papers.’

“You’re lying! My mom can’t be dead!”

Renee’s emotions spiraled out of control, unable to accept that her mother had passed away under her

care.

Pearl sensed that something was amiss, and unsettling thoughts began to take root in her mind. Could

Hugo have been involved in this?

She immediately called Hugo, and after several attempts, he finally picked up, sounding tired. “What’s

wrong?”

“Hugo, did you switch Jennifer’s medication and cause her sudden death?” Pearl asked, her voice filled This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
