Hugo felt quite sorry for Pearl, seeing her red eyes. “Alright, we’ll leave today if that’s what you want.”

“Then, my mother’s illness…”

“Don’t worry about it. I won’t go back on my word.” Hugo reached out to touch Pearl’s head, but she dodged his hand, creating a noticeable distance between them.
