Chapter 308


    “ke will wake up soon. Let’s go in and see him.” Pearl was worried that ke might be traumatized


    when he learned about the condition of his back after waking up.


    They changed into sterile clothing and entered the ward.


    Seeing ke’s furrowed brows and sweaty forehead, Pearl felt a deep sense of sorrow. It was


    unexpected that he would be in such pain even while in aa.


    Pearl moved closer and saw that his fingers were trembling rhythmically, so she reached out and gently


    held his hand.


    Miraculously, ke slowly opened his eyes in the next moment. Despite the thickyer of padding


    beneath him, he still sweated and grimaced in pain when he shifted slightly.


    “Are you okay, ke?” Pearl’s heart ached as she witnessed his distress.


    “I’m okay, Pearl. I won’t die,” ke assured her, showing his determination. He knew the extent of


    damage the sulfuric acid had caused to his back, but he would make the same choice to protect Pearl if


    given another chance.


    “Don’t worry. I will help cure your back, and I guarantee that it’ll look how it used to be.” While cheering


    ke up, Pearl set a target for herself.

    Despite the pain, ke’s pride remained intact. “I don’t need that. A little back injury is nothing for a


    man like me.”


    “Alright, don’t worry. I’ll not only heal you but also make sure that the culprit faces. consequences,”


    Pearl dered with a fierce glint in her eyes, her thoughts turning to the person who had fled with the


    bucket of sulfuric acid. It would be very easy to screen the suspects because she had just gotten there


    and yet to offend anyone.


    “You should start by looking into Willow. We’ve recently had a falling out, and she’s probably harboring


    resentment,” ke suggested calmly, despite the pain in his back.


    Pearl narrowed her eyes and couldn’t help but smirk at the thought of Willow’s timid demeanor. “I doubt


    Willow would be so audacious, but the Quinlevans might be a more likely culprit.” The Quinlevans were


    known for their boldness if the usation held true.


    Unconcerned, ke tried tofort her. “Don’t take it to heart because our family will look into it. After


    all, Grandfather will do something since I’m seriously hurt.” It was clear that ke’s confidence


    stemmed from being the young heir of the Jordans, who had the means to seek justice when wronged.


    “The Jordan family and I are different. I’ll find the culprit and ensure you get justice,” Pearl vowed


    resolutely.


    After chatting a bit, ke grew tired and asked them to leave, as he needed rest.


    Pearl intended to return to the Jordan family estate to request some herbs from Ezra. Their vast


    resources should make obtaining the necessary items rtively straightforward.


    “Are you going home? Let me give you a ride,” Glenn offered as he followed Pearl.


    But Pearl shook her head. “It’s okay. I have other things to take care of. Just focus on what you need to


    do.”


    “Alright.” Glenn didn’t press the matter, knowing his ce. He nodded and left.


    As Pearl exited the hospital corridor, she suddenly saw a familiar figure.


    “Richard… what are you doing here?”


    “I didn’t mean to intrude earlier. I was genuinely concerned about your injury.” Richard stood outside


    the hospital, cigarette in hand, with a few smoked down to the filter. The ground around him was littered


    with ashes.
