Chapter 200

The sight of Pearl in his arms made Richard frown. He broke out in a cold sweat, overwhelmed by a

sense of remorse for what had happened to her.

He rushed her to the hospital and gently placed her on a bed after she had received some basic

bandaging.

“Are you okay, Pearl?”

But Pearl’s mind was on Hanzel. The dagger used against him had a sharp, darkened blade, and might

have been coated with poison. She feared that Hanzel’s condition might be critical after being stabbed.

“Take me to Hanzel now. Hurry.”

“Why are you so concerned about Hanzel now?” Richard couldn’t understand why Pearl was so

insistent on seeing Hanzel when she had just regained consciousness. He wondered if it was because

Hanzel had risked his life to save her.

Anxious, Pearl answered, “Something might go wrong with him. Drive me to the hospital now.”

“Don’t worry, Pearl. He’ll be fine. I’ve gotten the best doctor for him. You just need to rest well, and don’t

worry about other stuff.”

Richard’s jealousy flared up as he couldn’t bear to see Pearl showing such concern for Hanzel. On the

other hand, he was genuinely worried about her fragile state and didn’t want anything to jeopardize her

well-being again.

“Alright, I won’t go for now, but please make sure someone is there to keep an eye on Hanzel. And if

anything happens, you must inform me immediately,” Pearl pleaded with Richard.

“Okay, just rest first,” Richard replied, relenting.

Suddenly, Richard thought of something and asked, “Why did Hanzel know about this before me?”

Given that Hanzel had been busy with his film shoots and hadn’t visited Pearl in the past couple of

days, Richard was puzzled about how Hanzel had managed to arrive on the scene faster than him,

even though he had reviewed the surveillance footage.

“I secretly texted him and sent him my location because the kidnappers didn’t take my phone on the

way. That’s why he came.

Pearl didn’t find anything wrong with it, but Richard found it annoying.

“Why did you text Hanzel first when you got into trouble?” This unfair treatment filled Richard with

envy.

Chuckling, Pearl retorted, “Well, I couldn’t text you because you’re always busy with work Plus, you

have to teach the newcomer, right?”

Although it was very sarcastic, Pearl just said it for fun. Besides, she thought she had texted Richard

instead.

Knowing that she was acting out of spite because of Sophia, Richard’s face was icy. “I told you it’s not

like that. Sophia is just my subordinate.”

“Just your subordinate? Why did you hug her then?” Pearl recalled what she had witnessed by the

kebab stall-the moment when Sophia had thrown herself into Richard’s arms, and how he hadn’t Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

immediately pushed her away. It had left an impression of hesitation and attraction.

“You saw that?” Richard was stupefied, as he hadn’t expected that Pearl had witnessed that particular

moment.

“What’s the matter? I saw you rather enjoy hugging Miss Sophia. But you don’t have to explain so

much to me because we have nothing to do with each other. It’s none of my business even if you fall in

love with her.”

Although Pearl sounded sarcastic, she was heartbroken while looking at Richard’s face. As expected,

she couldn’t easily believe in men’s romantic words. Once the novelty passed, everything would be

gone.

Richard was struck speechless, stung by her words.

“Alright, I’ll go now.” After saying that, Richard tucked her in and left the ward.
