Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard) novel Chapter 1047

Simon hadn't seen Pearl in a long time, so when he heard her familiar voice from behind, it startled him, almost causing him to drop his shovel on his foot.

"What's up? What brings you here today? Have you finally decided to be a full-time doctor?" Simon wiped the sweat from his forehead, put away his tools, and grabbed a bottle of water, taking a sip.

"I'm pregnant." Pearl blurted out, causing Simon to choke on his water.

"Pfft…"

Simon was so shocked he couldn't speak, just pointing at her with a trembling hand. "How did that—"

"I'm just thinking if I should keep this baby or not," Pearl said, looking lost.

Simon stared at her flat belly, speaking seriously, "Your health doesn't seem all that great. Maybe you should consider giving up."

"Is there a chance or any way to keep the baby?" Pearl asked, staring at him, feeling he must have a solution.

Simon picked a clover and played with it gently. "I think it's best not to have the child for now." He had treated Pearl like his own daughter over the years. How could he stand by and watch her sacrifice herself for the baby?

"Why?" Pearl asked knowingly, leaving Simon speechless.

"Don't you know the reasons? Your health has never been great. If you force yourself to give birth to this child, I'm afraid it might be fatal for both of you."

As his apprentice, Pearl has never been in good health. Before this, he could prescribe some remedies for her, but now that she was pregnant and the baby needed nutrients, Pearl had visibly lost weight.
