Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard) novel Chapter 206

Chapter 206 

Being a great swimmer, Pearl had rescued many drowning children during her time abroad. 

Although the moat was deep, it was a piece of cake for Pearl. She swam hard to the spot where the girl had been struggling moments ago. 

Pearl dove into the water, her eyes locked onto the girl, who was slowly descending to the bottom of the moat. With determined strokes, Pearl reached the girl and brought her to the surface, doing her best to keep them both afloat. 

When the crowd saw that they were fine, they breathed a sigh of relief. 

“Quick, get a stick!” 

Pearl, still catching her breath, couldn’t swim with the girl in her arms, so someone found a long stick among the logs nearby and extended it toward her. With a firm grip on the stick, Pearl was pulled ashore. 

Once they were on land, the girl remained unconscious, having swallowed some water. Someone on the shore had called 911, but the immediate concern was reviving the girl. 

After Pearl performed chest compressions and administered rescue breaths, the girl coughed up a mouthful of water. “It’s okay now. She’s awake!” 

With the girl now coughing and breathing, the onlookers finally breathed a sigh of relief. 

Feeling exhausted, Pearl squatted at the side, but her attention was drawn to a label stitched onto the collar of the girl’s clothes. 

[Jordan.] 

The girl’s clothes looked expensive as they were exclusively customized high-end clothes. Besides, she was wearing ruffle sleeves and a tassel skirt that was popular in Ancard. 

Pearl wondered if the girl was from that Jordan family that she knew a little about. 

The Jordans hailed from Ancard, not Enswood, and were counted among the wealthiest families there. They had a significant presence in both the military and politics, with five generations of top officials in their lineage. 

Pearl wondered why a child like that would suddenly come to Enswood and accidentally drown in water. 

As Pearl mulled this over, a black Rolls-Royce abruptly pulled up in front of her. 

A couple got out of the car. The man, in his thirties, had a tall, slender build and appeared younger than his age. On the other hand, the woman possessed an air of elegance and refinement, exuding a gentle demeanor. 

The couple’s expressions changed at the sight of the girl on the ground. 

The woman hurried over, her trembling hand reaching for the girl’s cheek. “What happened, Laura? Your father and I couldn’t bear it if anything happened to you!” 

Pearl attempted to console the agitated woman. “Don’t worry. She’s alright for now. She’ll recover after a few days’ rest in the hospital.” 

The woman dried her tears and asked, “You are…’ 

“She fell into the water, and I rescued her.” 

Grateful, the woman said, “Thank you. You’re my family’s savior. I’ll thank you properly when Laura wakes up!”
