Chapter 849


    "There''s something on my face. Removing my mask might freak you out."


    The guard, getting impatient, snatched her mask off. "Let''s see what— Ahh!"


    As soon as he saw her face, he tossed her mask away in shock. "Your face is so ugly! Are those


    really pimples? They''re leaking pus! Gross! Don''t show your face here again!"


    "Okay..." Pearl suppressed herughter and feigned sadness. She picked up her mask from the


    ground, put it back on, and walked away with her head down.


    Once outside, she immediately took off her mask. Then, she loosened her headscarf, letting her hair


    cascade down. From her pocket, she pulled out a special cream, dabbed it on a tissue, and wiped


    her face. The pimples and pus vanished in a sh, leaving her skin wless.


    Ten minutester, she reached the agreed spot with Wayne, waiting quietly for his car.


    A car pulled up, but it wasn''t Wayne''s. The license te didn''t match.


    Pearl grew wary instantly. Seeing who was inside, she looked surprised. "Damian, what are you


    doing here?"


    Damian, in his shy Cayenne, looked eager. "I''m here to pick you up and share something with


    you," he said mysteriously.


    "I''m only interested in my mom''s situation right now." Pearl slumped into her seat, rubbing her tired


    eyes. She had to wear colored contacts earlier to deal with that guard, a difort she despised.


    Taking them off, her eyes felt relieved.


    "Good, because I''ve got news about her."


    Pearl perked up at his words, her exhaustion fading. "What do you know? Tell me." Damian wasn''t


    one for jokes. If he said it, it had to be true.


    She felt a surge of anticipation. Maybe Damian had found out where her mom was.


    "A couple of days ago, I bumped into Gigi at a bar, and she told me where your mom is."


    Pearl almost jumped out of her seat. "Where''s my mom? Tell me quickly."


    "She''s currently at a sanatorium in Enswood. But, ording to Gigi, her condition isn''t great, and


    she might need treatment."

    Prepared as she was, Pearl couldn''t shake off the worry. "Can you take me there now?"


    Damian revved the engine, saying, "Why else do you think I came here?"


    Pearl''s eyes lit up. "Great!"
