Chapter 204


    “Pearl and I saw you hugging another woman. Also, did you evene to visit Pearl when she was


    sick and in the hospital? Mobius told me that yourpany’s newly promoted design director came to


    challenge Pearl under the guise of visiting her. Don’t tell me you’re so lovey-dovey with that woman


    now.”


    Richard retorted coldly, “It’s not what you think.”

    “I might not know the whole truth, but I do know that Pearl needs me right now. You’ll just end up


    making her miserable.” Hanzel snorted. “She texted me first this time. One day, I’ll be more important to


    her than you.”


    Although it sounded childish, Hanzel was dead serious.


    Realizing that arguing with Hanzel would be pointless, Richard didn’t bother to say much, especially


    given Hanzel’s confident look. He got up and left the ward.


    When Pearl returned with the water, Richard was already gone. She asked, “Is he gone?” Hanzel


    casually replied, “Yeah, he left after hearing what I had to say. Too ashamed to stay.’ “Okay, don’t get


    out of bed and rest well. I’ll take care of you until you’re fully recovered.” ttered, Hanzel asked, “You


    want to take care of me? What about your work?”


    The mention of her work brought a wave of bitterness to Pearl, but she concealed her emotions. “It’s


    fine. After all, I’ve lost my job, and someone else is the new design director. I have the time and energy


    to look after you.”


    “I knew that Richard was unreliable.” Hanzel muttered through gritted teeth, vowing not to let Pearl sl*p


    away again. He then looked at Pearl and said, “Just focus on resting here for now. By the way, I have a


    suggestion for you now that you’re not working. Would you like to give it a try?”


    Pearl, masking her sadness, asked, “What do you suggest?”


    Grinning, Hanzel proposed, “My agent had to take a one-month leave because of family matters.


    Would you like to be my temporary agent?”


    An agent? Pearl was stunned. Despite owning an entertainmentpany, she had never worked as an


    agent.


    “Forget it. I don’t have any experience in that.”


    However, Hanzel refused to give up. “You’re taking care of me, aren’t you? It won’t be too much to


    handle it for a little longer, right? You’re the best, Pearl. Look at my injuries. They’re so painful. Can you


    really send me to the set alone?” His acting was so obvious, he couldn’t even muster up a tear.


    Helpless, Pearl said, “I’ll find you a suitable agent.”


    “No, I don’t want to. I’m sure nob*dy wants it since it’s just going to be a month. Besides, ordinary


    people can’t do it given my identity…” Hanzel grabbed Pearl’s arms and swayed it, begging her.


    Hearing that, Pearl nodded helplessly. “Okay, I promise. But you’ve got to rest well so you can get out


    of the hospital sooner.” “Will do.”


    Over the next few days, Richard never visited the hospital again while Pearl took care of Hanzel.


    asionally, Hugo paid a visit to Hanzel.


    Hanzel was unaware of Hugo’s schemes and still regarded thetter as his gentle and quiet brother.


    The day Pearl went out, Hugo came and chatted with Hanzel under the pretense of checking up on


    him.


    “You know what? Abby is dead.”


    Although Hanzel had suspected as much, his heart skipped a beat upon hearing the news.


    “Abby deserved it. She tried to harm Pearl numerous times, even plotting to kill her. She would just be


    trouble if she lived.” Hanzel trembled with anger as he recalled the things Abby had done to Pearl.


    “It looks like you care about Pearl so much. Don’t tell me you’re in love with her.” Hugo probed,


    pretending to chat casually


    with Hanzel but actually attempting to gauge his feelings.
