Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard) novel Chapter 115

Chapter 115 

While Hugo was young, he was the most respected doctor in the entire hospital, surpassing many older doctors in the medical field. In short, he was considered a genius. 

“But what’s in it for me if I perform surgery on Renee’s mother?” Laughing casually, Hugo’s words filled 

Pearl with vigilance. 

“It’s just a small favor. It won’t hurt you. Can’t you do a good deed?” 

However, coldness enveloped Hugo’s voice. “Oh? Why should I be the one doing good deeds?” 

“Whatever.” 

With that, Pearl abruptly ended the call. After all, there were plenty of doctors in the hospital who could perform the surgery. 

But Pearl suddenly got a call from Renee before Renee’s mother could undergo surgery. 

Crying, Renee explained, “The doctor said my mother is losing a lot of blood, and she’s in critical condition!” 

“What?” Pearl wondered if it was Hugo’s scheme, but it was beyond belief. 

Yet, in this dire moment, everyone in the hospital seemed powerless. With no other option, Pearl went to Hugo’s office to plead with him. 

“Can you save Renee’s mother, Hugo?” 

” 

“Didn’t I tell you that you must give me a reason to save her?” Hugo leaned in and gazed at Pearl with a 

smile. 

“What are you trying to say? Just spit it out.” Pearl realized that she hardly knew him anymore. He was not. the same person she once knew. 

He used to be friendly and kind, but now he seemed like a shrewd businessman. 

“I want…” Hugo took a deep breath. “I want you.” 

Pearl stared at him in shock. “Why?” 

Naturally, Hugo would only lie to her. He chuckled and replied, “I like you. Maybe I took a fancy to you before Richard did.” 

“But you told me you didn’t love me. Isn’t it suffocating to be with someone you don’t love?” Pearl was baffled by his sudden change, feeling that he just wanted something that didn’t belong to him. 

Hugo’s eyes filled with desire. “Who said I didn’t like you? I just answered your question before, but I never said I disliked you.” 

After learning that Simon was Pearl’s mentor, his feelings for Pearl grew because he could manipulate her once she was in his grasp. It would benefit him even more.
