But right now, Pearl wasn’t in the mood to mourn her child. Her mind was so chaotic that she didn’t even know what she was thinking.
The nurse gave her instructions, but she didn’t listen to them.
When she left the ward, Pearl saw someone standing at the door, and tears immediately welled up in her eyes.
"Pearl…" Esther asked, opening her arms for Pearl to hug her.
It was the first time Esther had seen Pearl look so weak. Usually, Pearl was the protector, but today, she seemed like a broken doll.
"Does it hurt, Pearl?" Although Esther hadn’t had a child, she knew that Pearl would feel uncomfortable after the abortion. She could only comfort her softly, tears streaming down her face like Pearl’s.
Pearl smiled and touched her face. "Why are you crying? It’s not like you had the surgery."
"I'm just worried about you," Esther said, realizing her voice was choked up. She gritted her teeth. "Richard has really gone out of line. Today was your surgery day, and he caused all of this. I'm starting to wonder if you married the wrong man."
"Did Richard ask you to come over?" Pearl picked up on the crucial detail.
"Yeah, he said he dared not come to see you because you hated him. But from what I can tell, he’s just a coward!" Esther took off her coat and draped it over Pearl. "Let’s go. You can stay at my place for a few days."
Before her marriage, Pearl had never stayed at Esther's place, and there seemed no reason for her to do so, especially after getting married. But today, after hearing Esther's invitation, Pearl found herself inexplicably nodding in agreement. "I need to make a call first."
Esther sighed, feeling frustrated. "After all he’s done to you, you’re still worried about his feelings."
Pearl lowered her head and dialed a number on her phone. After three rings, a voice came from the other end. "Hello."
"I’m not going home tonight. I’m staying at Esther’s place."
