Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard) novel Chapter 840

"But if you're cured early, are you going to—" Howard stopped short of saying 'crash the wedding,' as he didn't believe Pearl would stoop to such actions, but he couldn't dismiss the possibility entirely.

Naturally, he had his doubts, considering Pearl's unpredictable nature.

"Don't worry. I've made a promise to you, and I won't break it," Pearl asserted firmly. She always kept her word.

Seeing the determination in her eyes, Howard felt ashamed for doubting her. "I'll do it because you love your mom. I'll cure you soon so you can leave."

Pearl's face lit up with gratitude. "That's good to know. Thank you."

"But before that, focus on learning medicine from me. It'll help you treat your mom when you see her."

Pearl was touched by Howard's concern for her mother.

Richard stood before Martin Jesselton with a firm look.

"I won't agree with your marriage arrangement."

Richard met Martin's gaze evenly. "Don't worry, Uncle Martin. I'll treat her well."

"How can you do that when you're still thinking about another woman?" Martin retorted, growing more agitated by Richard's response.

Richard remained silent, unable to offer a satisfactory answer.

Martin's frustration grew. "I suggest you seriously reconsider marrying Winona."
