Chapter 592
At the same time, Master Jordan sent people to take her and confined her in a yard that felt like a prison. It was only after Max’s passing that Master Jordan finally eased up, removing the guards and granting her freedom.
Unfortunately, Max would never return.
“It’s okay, Dad will always be watching over us from heaven,” Pearl attempted to console her mother.
“Don’t worry, it’s all in the past now.” Beah sighed with relief. “By the way, I recall you have a fiance, right? How are things between you two? Is he treating you well?”
The mention of Richard immediately soured Pearl’s mood. “He’s forgotten about our relationship and doesn’t care about me anymore.”
Beah’s smile suddenly disappeared. “Huh? How did things turn out like this?”
“I don’t know, but it doesn’t matter. I’m going to marry someone else anyway. It might be at relief for him.” Pearl didn’t actually intend to marry Sean, but she felt that if the man she married wasn’t Richard, then marrying someone else wouldn’t matter much to her.
She simply didn’t care.
Beah patted her hand and said, “You know, feelings are wonderful things. If you approach him with sincerity, he might fall in love with you again.”
“I gave it a shot, but it didn’t work.” Pearl forced a smile, “I’m about to get married, and he’ll probably think I’m a fickle woman. There’s no way he’ll love me again.”
Beah sighed. “Well then, let’s take it one step at a time for now.”
Pearl glanced at the clock. It was six in the evening, and it was time to head back. “If there’s nothing else, I’ll visit you again tomorrow to check on your condition and figure out what’s causing your illness.”
Now, she needed to return and discuss the details of the escape plan and timing with Wayne. If her escape succeeded, she could take Beah with her to ensure she received the necessary
treatment.
Reluctantly, Beah gave her daughter one last look, comforted by the thought of seeing her again the next day. “Alright, I’ll have Gigi accompany you out.”
Gigi escorted Pearl to the door and then returned to prepare some medicine for Beah.
Seeing her mother in relatively good health put Pearl’s mind at ease. As she walked away, her steps felt lighter.
However, before she had gone far, a familiar figure suddenly appeared not too distant. A spark ignited in her eyes when she recognized who it was.
Pearl took a closer look. It was Hugo!
What was he doing here?!
