Chapter 808


    Pearl, being the witty person she was, sensed that Estre was jealous. So, she quickly offered an


    exnation, "He''s a streamer from mypany. I wouldn''t be able to face his parents if anything


    happened to him."


    She tactfully conveyed to Estre that there was nothing romantic between Ss and her and


    assured her not to worry.


    Estre looked up, her eyes were teary. "I''m sorry. It''s my fault. If I hadn''t talked to him and


    distracted him in the car, this ident wouldn''t have happened."


    "Don''t me yourself. This isn''t your fault at all. It''s his responsibility." Pearl forced aforting


    smile and gently patted Estre''s hand. Although it wasn''t the most empathetic thing to say about


    the unconscious Ss lying in bed, it seemed eptable since he couldn''t hear it.


    "What do you mean it''s my responsibility?" An irritated voice suddenly interrupted them from behind.


    Startled, they turned to see Ss, who had just awakened, appearing somewhat dazed.


    "You woke up so quickly. You''re lucky," Pearl remarked as she ced a fruit basket by his bedside.


    "I''m d I saw you the moment I woke up. It looks like you''re very concerned about me, rushing to


    the hospital as soon as you heard about my ident," Ss said with a charming smile, seemingly


    oblivious to the emotions of those around him.


    Estre''s face drained of color upon hearing his words.


    However, Pearl clicked her tongue in disapproval. "Don''t tter yourself. I only came here because I


    didn''t want to face your parents if something happened to you. Stop thinking too highly of yourself."


    Yet Ss remained stubborn. "I don''t care. You did rush to the hospital because of me."


    Estre felt somewhat out of ce in their conversation. She muttered, "I''ll leave you two to talk."


    "Just go back on your own. The rain has stopped." Ss waved her off. Despite having been in a car


    ident together, he seemed indifferent to whether Estre was hurt or not.


    Disappointed and feeling humiliated, Estre hastily left without even saying goodbye to Pearl.


    Pearl watched her leave and then turned to re at Ss. "How could you say that to her? She


    came with you and took care of you for so long, and you treat your savior like that?"


    Ss shrugged. "If it weren''t for her, I wouldn''t have been in a car ident."


    But Pearl had a different perspective. "So, you''re saying that her presence affected your mood?" It


    seemed like Ss had some feelings toward Estre after all.


    Ss became flustered. "Stop reading too much into it. You''re the only one I care about."

    Pearl''s patience was wearing thin. "Let me make this clear onest time: I will never fall in love with


    you or be with you. Just give up."


    Ss pouted. "We''ll see about that. You can''t say for sure."


    Pearl ignored him and decided to call his parents to arrange for someone to take care of him.


    Ss questioned her when he noticed her on the phone, "Who are you calling?"


    "Your parents. I''m going to get someone to take care of you," Pearl replied matter-of-factly. It was


    only logical to call Ss'' parents to take care of him.


    Ss immediately objected. "I don''t want them taking care of me."


    Pearl put away her phone and pointed at the busy nurse nearby. "Then, should I hire a caretaker for


    you?"


    Ss stopped protesting when he realized that Pearl wasn''t going to back down. "I want you to take


    care of me."


    Pearl couldn''t help but smile at his audacity. "Ss, you must be dreaming."


    "You''re saying I''m dreaming?" Ss pouted and feigned a pitiful look.
