Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl Novel novel Chapter 808

Pearl, being the witty person she was, sensed that Estrella was jealous. So, she quickly offered an explanation, "He's a streamer from my company. I wouldn't be able to face his parents if anything happened to him."

She tactfully conveyed to Estrella that there was nothing romantic between Silas and her and assured her not to worry.

Estrella looked up, her eyes were teary. "I'm sorry. It's my fault. If I hadn't talked to him and distracted him in the car, this accident wouldn't have happened."

"Don't blame yourself. This isn't your fault at all. It's his responsibility." Pearl forced a comforting smile and gently patted Estrella's hand. Although it wasn't the most empathetic thing to say about the unconscious Silas lying in bed, it seemed acceptable since he couldn't hear it.

"What do you mean it's my responsibility?" An irritated voice suddenly interrupted them from behind.

Startled, they turned to see Silas, who had just awakened, appearing somewhat dazed.

"You woke up so quickly. You're lucky," Pearl remarked as she placed a fruit basket by his bedside.

"I'm glad I saw you the moment I woke up. It looks like you're very concerned about me, rushing to the hospital as soon as you heard about my accident," Silas said with a charming smile, seemingly oblivious to the emotions of those around him.

Estrella's face drained of color upon hearing his words.

However, Pearl clicked her tongue in disapproval. "Don't flatter yourself. I only came here because I didn't want to face your parents if something happened to you. Stop thinking too highly of yourself."

Yet Silas remained stubborn. "I don't care. You did rush to the hospital because of me."

Estrella felt somewhat out of place in their conversation. She muttered, "I'll leave you two to talk."

"Just go back on your own. The rain has stopped." Silas waved her off. Despite having been in a car accident together, he seemed indifferent to whether Estrella was hurt or not.

Disappointed and feeling humiliated, Estrella hastily left without even saying goodbye to Pearl.
