Maisie nodded. “Well, I expected this.”Barbara summoned the waiter and continued. “She’s living in Mr. Hannigan’s apartment now, but I think he’s holding her captive.” She ordered a cup of Blue Mountain coffee, and after the waiter had gone away, she asked, “Aren't you curious about what she said when I told her that you wanted to see her?”Maisie was holding a cup of coffee, and she was stunned for a moment. After a short while, she took a sip from the coffee and asked, “What did she say?”“She said she doesn’t want to see you.”Seeing the crack on Maisie’s face, Barbara giggled and added, “Alright, alright. I’ll stop messing with you.”Maisie crossed her arms in front of her chest and looked at Barbara.Barbara leaned forward and said with a smile on her face, “It's true that she didn't say she doesn't want to see you, but she didn't say when either.”Maisie nodded. “That means she doesn’t want to see me. It’s just that she doesn’t want to say it out explicitly.”Barbara l

‘I'll never, ever fall in love with you!’Pearl was stunned. She felt as if someone had stabbed her in her heart. Her shoulders trembled, and tears began to roll down from her eyes.“I didn’t—” Tanner clasped his hands on her cheeks and pulled her closer.Pearl bit into his shoulder so hard that he pushed her away reflexively in pain, causing her to fall on the glass shards on the floor.“Pearl!” Tanner hurriedly ran over and scooped her up from the floor. His whole body trembled when he saw the scene in front of him. The glass shards had stabbed into Pearl's cheek.Tanner carried her in his arms and rushed her to the hospital.At the hospital…Tanner sat against the wall of the emergency exit. The floor was littered with cigarette butts, and his palm and collar were dyed with her blood.When he thought about the wounds on Pearl's cheek, Tanner covered his face with his palms in pain as a tear slid down in the darkness.He returned to the ward despondently and sat down on th

Antonio came to the nurse station and asked one of the nurses who were on duty, “Excuse me, why hasn’t my daughter woken up after so many days?”The nurse skimmed through Pearl’s diagnosis and case and then explained slowly, “When a patient exhibits such a condition, it can only be concluded that it’s due to certain psychological factors. This usually happens to patients who have mood swings or wish to escape from reality through extreme means. That’s why they’ll remain in self-isolation even after being cured.“If the patient is conscious but unwilling to wake up, family members should stay here, accompany her more frequently, and communicate with her to stimulate her cranial nerves. That might help her regain consciousness prematurely.”Antonio nodded.He walked back to the ward with a heavy heart and saw Mrs. Santiago standing by the bed, watching over her daughter and sobbing silently. He took a deep breath, grabbed his coat, walked up to her, and draped it on her. “You should

Pearl nodded, and she seemed very curious.Tanner gazed into the distance. “It all started with my marriage to her. At that time, I only agreed to the marriage at the request of my family, but I didn’t like her…”‘I first met Pearl at the dinner between the Hannigans and the Santiagos. It wasn’t that I hadn’t seen Ms. Santiago from the La Perla Group, and it wasn’t that I didn’t know her. Pearl Santiago has always been rumored to be an arrogant and domineering b*tch, and the scandal that took place at the socialite party a few years ago was the event that turned her into the target of public criticism.‘Because Maizie’s actions had implicated the Hannigans, in order to consolidate the Hannigans’ status in Bassburgh, father asked me to marry such an unbearable and disgraced woman. And I couldn’t help but find this whole facade ironic.‘I met Pearl at that dinner, and that was the first time I really got to her.’‘She did not look arrogant at all. She looked just like any other dign

‘But she didn’t.‘Sandy’s pregnancy was like a ticking time bomb that had exploded right next to me and completely caught me off guard. On one side, it was the ex who I couldn’t get my mind off and was pregnant with my child; on the other, it was the woman who wanted to marry me. I really didn’t know what to do.‘Whenever I saw Sandy cry, I would always think of Pearl. Pearl has never cried, and I’ve never seen her cry or show her fragile side to me ever since I got to know her.‘When the engagement was canceled, and she moved out of the apartment, I couldn’t control my urge any longer and defiled her while I was drunk. I finally got my hands on the woman that I once despised.‘She isn’t as bad as I thought, and it wasn’t that she couldn’t or wouldn’t cry. It was just that she didn’t care. It hurts me deep down when I see her crying. That’s why I didn’t want to see her cry.‘It’s undeniable that I have feelings for Pearl. Perhaps I was already tempted from the moment I started pay
