Chapter 307
“I’ll tell you about this later. Are you free?”
But Simon refused, “No, I’m not. Yes, I’m just a tool at your disposal, but you can treat your cousin, and
I trust you. Okay, I’m going to hang up because I’m playing chess with Charles… What?! How could
you withdraw a move?”
After that, Simon quickly ended the call, seemingly eager to return to his game of chess.
Ezra gaped, repeating Pearl’s name while watching her with an incredulous expression, while Emma,
who had just placed a bet with Pearl, was now feeling awkward.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtPearl turned out to be Simon’s disciple. Besides, Simon, who was hard to meet, was at Pearl’s
disposal. It made people wonder how amazing Pearl truly was.
“Can I treat Blake now, Master Jordan?” Pearl ignored everything else because the only thought in her
mind now was to cure Blake.
“It looks like the young are really greater… Okay, I’ll leave him to you.” Ezra sighed in helpless
admiration and asked, “How did you come to know Simon, and are you truly his disciple?”
“I accidentally bumped into him when I was studying abroad.” Pearl merely gave a brief explanation
and said, “It’s best if you guys don’t visit Blake for the time being. You can observe him from a distance
through the glass window, but please avoid direct contact to prevent any risk of infection, as his
wounds are quite vulnerable right now.”
“Where should we go now?” Emma was baffled.
Pearl answered quickly, “Go home and wait for me to cure him before you come over.”
Glancing at Blake in the ward, Ezra nodded reluctantly. “Okay, let’s all go home.”
The Jordan family marched home, but Glenn stayed and sat beside Pearl.
“Why aren’t you going home?” Pearl turned and smiled at Glenn.
Glenn was stunned by her smile. “It’s because I want to be with… Blake.” He nearly blurted out that he
wanted to be with her, but he held himself back and lied.
“Alright, looks like I’ve misunderstood you.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmPearl’s comment puzzled Glenn. “What do you mean?”
“In the past, I didn’t have a favorable impression of you. I thought you seemed gentle but cunning. I
never expected you to be so caring toward your friend,” Pearl explained, noticing that Glenn had
blushed at her words. She continued, “You blush quite casily too, and it happened because of a simple
compliment.”
Glenn didn’t know why he blushed, but Pearl’s smile seemed to have that effect on him.
Pearl teased, “Don’t grin at me like that. You’ll make me think you have a crush on me.”
Subconsciously, Glenn blurted out, “Yeah, I have a crush on you.”
Pearl fell silent, taken aback by his unexpected response to her joke.
Glenn quickly realized his mistake and smiled. “Why aren’t you saying anything? I was just
kidding. Besides, I couldn’t fall for you since I have a crush on someone else.”
“Oh, thank goodness.” Pearl sighed. Just then, she noticed Blake’s fingers twitch slightly in the ward, a
sign that he might be waking up.
