Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl

Chapter 179

Ignoring Pearl’s words, Simon wiped away his tears and left.

“He’s like that sometimes. Don’t be scared, Richard.” Pearl turned to Richard with an awkward smile.

“It’s fine. He seems… pretty cute.”

Richard couldn’t bring himself to say anything negative about Simon, considering he had saved Susan. However, Simon’s behavior was rather baffling…

“Alright, we’ll stay here tonight to wait for her to wake up. We can’t afford any more accidents since it’s the last day.”

Richard nodded. “Okay.”

Luckily, no one disturbed them that night.

The following morning, Richard felt a slight movement in his hand while he was still asleep. Being a light sleeper, he woke up instantly.

He felt the warmth in his hand and noticed Susan’s fingers curling, moving slightly in his hand. She didn’t open her eyes but continued to move her fingers rhythmically.

This movement also roused Pearl from her slumber. When she saw Susan’s fingers moving, she was surprised. “She’s going to wake up.”

Susan’s eyes fluttered abruptly, and then her eyes slowly opened. “I…”

Her throat was parched from not having a drink for several days, and she felt an intense thirst as if she might suffocate at any moment.

Pearl quickly poured a cup of water and helped Susan take a sip. “Madam, are you feeling better now?”
