Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl

Chapter 422

In the room upstairs, Susan lay in bed, breathing normally and sleeping peacefully.

Dustan explained to Richard and Pearl in a hushed tone, “After your mom returned, she had a sudden heart attack due to the shock, but she’s fine now. I just put her to sleep, so she probably won’t wake up for the next few hours.”

“Great, then. Just inform us if anything happens,” Richard responded, glancing at Pearl and expressing his pride. “Your daughter-in-law here is really smart.”

Dustan felt touched by their understanding, but he lowered his voice since Susan was sleeping. “Yes, all thanks to you. But I’m sorry, Pearl. I took the wrong side when Susan was kidnapped and forced you to break up with Richard, or this wouldn’t have happened.”

Pearl shook her head, showing her forgiveness. “It’s fine, Mister Dustan. I would have made the same decision if I were in your shoes.”

“Thank you for your understanding, and even more for saving her. I really don’t know when I’ll see her again if it weren’t for you.” Dustan took a deep breath, looking at Susan with a mix of heartache and love.

The three continued chatting without realizing that Susan had awakened and was listening to them. She couldn’t help but open her eyes.
