Both Damian and Pearl were taken aback by Hugo's words.
"What do you mean?"
Pearl suddenly realized something and used her eyes to signal Hugo not to say more.
Hugo, however, remained indifferent and casually continued, "It's irresponsible to impregnate someone and then run away. If I'm not good enough for Pearl, do you think you are?"
He ignored her and revealed the truth!
"What does this have to do with you?" Damian looked confused. After all, he had said it in front of Pearl, and it pained him.
"Then why do you care if I stay with Pearl? You should mind your own business. The child is gone, and you, as the father, are still hiding in your country."
It was a harsh truth, and Pearl was sure Damian had never suffered such an insult in his life. But for some reason, there was silence on the other end of the line. A heavy, suffocating silence.
Just when Pearl thought Damian was immersed in the pain of losing his child, he suddenly spoke with a hint of relief in his voice, "Where is she?"
"Now you want to see her. Damian, you're not a real man. I don't believe it. With all your connections, how could you not find a pregnant woman?" Hugo didn't answer his question and hung up the phone.
Pearl glared at him angrily, "Why did you hang up my call?" As she said that, she slapped him hard a few times.
Hugo had no intention of fighting back and wasn't even angry. He just tossed the phone onto the bed casually and asked, "You should reconsider why you would have feelings for a man like that. He has no sense of responsibility at all."
Pearl could empathize with Damian. He didn't like Katie. He had been drugged and forced into a situation that led to the child. Even someone like Damian might want to escape such a situation.
But Hugo was right. Damian didn't seem very responsible.
