Chapter 17

Richard looked down at Pearl, who was in his arms. She looked to be in pain, covered all over in injuries. He quickly rushed her to the hospital. And as they were family, he brought her straight to Hugo’s office.

After Hugo attentively inspected Pearl, he frowned.

“What’s wrong with her? Is she severely hurt?” As Richard observed Pearl curl up in pain, his expression turned solemn.

“She sustained several heavy injuries and a slight concussion.” Hugo cleared his throat. “But she’s in this much pain because she’s on her period and is feeling weak.”

Richard’s ears turned red when he heard Pearl was on her period, but he maintained a neutral expression. “Is there any way to relieve her pain?”

Hugo put both hands in his pocket and shrugged. “No, she just has to bear it. All right, I have a surgery to get to. You can stay and help her with the hospitalization procedures. Her injuries will take some time to heal.” He walked out, and a silence fell over the room.
