Chapter 739


    "I''ve already made it clear that we have nothing to do with each other anymore, so stop meddling in


    my affairs—" Pearl retorted, her tone growing defensive.


    But Richard quickly cut her off. "I''ve also made it clear that you should leave." His eyes zed with


    intensity, and his presence was overpowering.


    "That''s funny, Richard. Are you still getting involved in my life because you''re not over me and feel


    jealous?" Pearl''s words were more of an assumption and an attempt to hurt him.


    "You''re overthinking." Richard then turned and left without even looking back.


    Pearl took a deep breath, a maelstrom of emotions swirling within her. Saying that was the best way


    to make him leave!


    Finally, Ss managed to find her after maneuvering through the crowd. Concerned, he asked,


    "What happened? You seem upset."


    "Nothing. I was just pushed around by the crowd," Pearl replied, trying to downy the situation.


    Ss let out a relieved sigh. "I think it''s a little dangerous here. Let me send you home."


    Considering the growing crowd and the potential danger, Pearl had lost her appetite for the


    performance, so she agreed with a nod.


    They left the bar together and stood outside, taking in the fresh air. However, as Pearl breathed in,


    she suddenly felt queasy, and her stomach churned. She couldn''t hold it back and bent over,


    vomiting.


    Ss was shocked and patted her back gently to help her catch her breath. "What happened? You


    didn''t drink much, and you didn''t eat too much either."


    "Maybe it was the mix of scents in the bar that got to me," Pearl managed to say between waves of


    nausea.


    "I won''t bring you here again," Ss dered.


    "It''s fine, Ie here often. This was just a one-time thing," Pearl reassured him, even though the


    nausea hade out of nowhere.


    "Let me take you to the hospital, just in case," Ss insisted.


    "The hospital? There''s no need to overreact," Pearl replied.


    Ss didn''t insist any further. After driving her home, he headed off in the opposite direction.


    Pearl watched him go, her curiosity piqued. Wasn''t his home in the east? Why was he heading


    west?


    After a while, her phone chimed with a message from Ss: [Come downstairs.]


    Curious, Pearl went downstairs, her hair still damp from drying it with a towel. She saw Ss holding


    a bag.


    "I went to the pharmacy nearby. I couldn''t describe your symptoms urately, so the pharmacist


    rmended some medicine. I bought a bunch. I remembered you''re a doctor, but I thought


    maybe you''d like to have some on hand?" Ss handed her the bag.


    Pearl felt warmth in her heart, but she couldn''t help but chuckle. "If you know I''m a doctor, do you


    think I don''t havemon medicines at home?"


    Ss looked a bit flustered and scratched his head. "I just forgot because I was worried." He then


    nced at the medicine he had purchased and appeared a little embarrassed. "Do you want thisExclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org.


    then?"


    Pearl saw how earnest he was and couldn''t help but burst intoughter. "Okay, I appreciate what


    you did. To prevent any misunderstandings, I''ve decided... not to take them!"
