Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard) novel Chapter 978

After Pearl returned from the bathroom, she saw Esther, who had been in bed when she left, kneeling on the floor and looking anxious.

Seeing the doctor standing there, she asked, "What's going on?"

"I told her the name of the bone marrow donor and she got upset," the doctor said, feeling helpless and guilty. "I didn't know how important the person was to her."

Pearl knew the doctor had no idea, so she didn't blame him. "It's fine, doctor. I'll take care of this."

The doctor nodded and left.

Pearl sat on the floor with Esther, reached out her arm, and hugged her around her shoulders. "Este," she gently called out her name.

Esther didn't respond; she just buried her face in Pearl's chest while her shoulders shook with sobs.

"I know it's really hard for you to accept this right now, isn't it?"

Esther didn't say anything and just kept crying.
