Pearl felt a pang in her heart, but since she was the one who pushed him away, she had no right to blame him. She forced herself to keep her emotions in check and soon finished the medicine Gigi needed.
She then went downstairs for dinner. However, she had no appetite, and it was clear in her distant expression.
Hugo noticed her distraction and knocked on the table to bring her back to reality. "I know you won't be able to accept the news, but reacting this way won't change anything."
Pearl found his comment heartless. Why would he scold her when he saw her like that?
She scoffed and ignored him, grabbing some bread and stuffing it into his mouth. "Eat your food. Don't talk."
Seeing Pearl's outburst, Gigi became worried and quietly continued eating without saying a word.
Realizing that her anger might be affecting Gigi, Pearl calmed down and turned her attention to her. She took out the medicine she had in her pocket. "Gigi, start taking this medicine today. With the lotion I gave you previously, your scars will fade away in about half a month."
Gigi was elated and put down her fork to accept the medicine. "Thank you, Pea. I'll take it diligently."
"Alright, we're a family. There's no need to be so formal." Pearl glanced at Hugo when she said that and saw him eating as if he hadn't noticed anything. This angered her, so she raised her foot and stomped it on his.
Hugo, who was focused on eating, felt the force from her foot but didn't show any reaction except for raising his eyebrows. "What's wrong? Don't you like the food?"
