Chapter 693


    "You can''t lie. You stutter when you do. | know that about you. Come on, spill it. What''s really going on?" Beah pressed Gigi for


    the truth, sensing that something serious had happened.


    Unable to keep it to herself any longer, Gigi confessed, "I overheard a conversation between Doctor Hugo and Pea in his room."


    Her fingers fidgeted nervously as she spoke.


    "What did they say?"


    “Pea said that she''s only with Doctor Hugo because he forced her. It was all to cure your illness..."


    Beah''s smile disappeared in an instant, reced by disbelief and sorrow. "Are you saying she was forced into a rtionship with


    Doctor Hugo just to save me?"


    She struggled to ept this revtion. To everyone else, they were just a cute couple. Pearl had managed to hide her true


    feelings so well that even her own mother had been kept in the dark.


    Her daughter, whom she hadn''t seen for many years, not onlycked a mother''s love but had also endured so much for her. Her


    guilt weighed heavily on her as she realized the extent of her daughter''s sacrifices.


    "Gigi, do you think I''ve been too much?" Beah''s eyes got teary, her guilt apparent in her voice.


    Gigi shook her head vigorously, her eyes welling up with tears. "Aunt Beah, it''s not your fault at all. You had no way of knowing. |


    believe that if you had known, you wouldn''t have..."


    Gigi''s words seemed to give Beah a wake-up call, and her determination intensified. "Thank you, Gigi. | know what | need to do


    now.


    Gigi looked at Beah, puzzled. "What are you nning to do?"


    "I''m nning to leave this ce, and I''ll take you with me. But you mustn''t tell anyone, okay?"


    Gigi''s initial response was to refuse. "Aunt Beah, you''re at a crucial stage in your treatment now. If you leave Doctor Hugo, your


    illness might be incurable. What awaits you then is..."


    She left her sentence unfinished, but Beah understood the implication.


    "It doesn''t matter. As long as both of us won''t be a burden to Pearl, that''s enough." Beah forced a smile through her inner


    turmoil. "Gigi, | know you''re worried about my illness, but if you think from my perspective, you''d understand. Your daughter is


    threatened by others, yet you have to pretend to smile. I''m sure any other mother will feel heartbroken."


    The thought of the pain that Pearl might be enduring was too much for Beah to bear.


    Gigi reluctantly respected Beah''s decision. She had been treated kindly by Pearl, and it wouldn''t be right to cause her any more


    trouble. "When are we leaving?"


    Beah smirked. "Tonight. The sooner, the better."


    Gigi asked, "Do you want to take another look at Pea before you leave?"


    Beah briefly considered it but


    ultimately decided against it. Pearl

    Begh believed that her daughter


    would understand her intentions.


    Instead of causing her unnecessary


    distress, it was best to leave now.
