Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl

Chapter 482

Richard couldn’t swim, but because Hugo was so eager for him to join in, he agreed. Once in the water, Hugo tied a rope around Richard and reassured him, saying, “Don’t worry, I’ve tied you to this tree so you won’t get lost.”

However, while underwater, the rope broke, and Richard was swallowed by the water. Fortunately, their neighbors came to his rescue, but he fell seriously ill with a fever. Ever since then, he had a deep fear of water and never ventured into it.

Pearl spoke seriously, “That’s the power of love.”
