Mysterious Mr.Richard novel Chapter 8

"Elope?" Pearl was shocked.

"Are you now denying that you broke up with Alex?" Richard scoffed.

Seven years before, Pearl suddenly went abroad. Since then, she had never contacted with her friends or family.

Richard had been so mad at searching for her until he heard that she  left with someone else.

In the next 7 years, Pearl and Alex are like ghosts haunting Richard. They were in his every dream and it was impossible to dismiss it.

It was the greatest shame in Richard's life.

Pearl was confused with the name of Alex, but she soon snapped back to her senses.

But if Richard did not remind her, she would have forgotten the stupid lies completely, which she made to end their five-year relationship.

"Mr. Zellweger." Suddenly a nurse knocked the door.

Pearl quivered for that. With all her strength she pushed Richard away and hurriedly got out of bed.

Witnessing this, Richard's eyes went cold and calm again.

"Yes?" Richard asked.

"I heard you are not feeling well. Do you need a doctor?" the nurse asked.

"No, thank you. I'm tired. Please leave me alone!"

"Ok."

The nurse answered and she walked away.

Pearl sighed with relief. She dared not stay longer. And she did not even look back at Richard when she went out hurriedly. "I will have something to do. So I am leaving."

Richard didn't stop her. He watched at her leaving. He went blank and his back fell against the sharp corner of the bed. Immediately, a sharp pain made him frown.
