Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl Novel novel Chapter 564

Chapter 564 

Susan’s emotions were a jumble, but Pearl attributed it to her concern for Richard. 

“I’ll step out and call my mentor. I’ll ask him to come as soon as possible,” Pearl said, then left the ward, making her way away from the commotion before dialing Simon’s number. 

Simon didn’t immediately recognize Pearl’s voice since she was using a different contact number. 

“No, I’m not going. I’ve retired, and I won’t go saving people again… Hey, don’t move your knight there. You should just watch the game instead of offering your opinions. Stop talking to him!” 

“Simon, are you going mad from playing chess? You didn’t recognize my voice!” Pearl gritted her teeth. Simon claimed he had retired, but she knew he was living abroad and spending his days playing chess with others. How could he lie to his own disciple? 

Simon eventually recognized Pearl’s voice and chuckled. “I apologize, Pearl. I was in the middle of a chess game. Can you wait for a bit 

“I have an urgent matter now. I need you to come to the city hospital in Enswood in three hours. The faster, the better.” 

Simon appeared slightly annoyed. “You can’t do this to me, Pearl. I haven’t finished this game yet. Am I at your beck and call all the time? 1- 

“You have two hours, fifty–eight minutes, and forty–six seconds,” Pearl interrupted. She could hear the wind blowing on Simon’s side. 

Had he rushed off so quickly? 

Pearl’s lips twitched. Perhaps she had been too harsh on the old man in his sixties. 

“Fine, I’ll play chess with you when I have the time.” 

Simon’s mood improved. “Okay, don’t break your word!” Compared to the other elderly chess players downstairs, Pearl was the opponent Simon truly desired. 

Checking the time, Pearl received a text from Simon two and a half hours later. 

[Come pick me up at the hospital entrance.] 

However, Pearl decisively sent Simon the ward number instead. 

[Come on your own.] 

With that settled, she returned to Richard’s ward. 

Richard’s time was running out, which was why Pearl had urgently called Simon. Considering 

her own abilities, she couldn’t fully heal Richard or help him recover completely. 

She remembered that Simon possessed an Elixir Pill, and she needed to get it.
