NovelEnglishPearl couldn't deny that entering someone else's room without permission was wrong, but the shock of seeing her own medical report on Hugo's desk
had left her feeling violated. She confronted him, asking, "Why do you have my examination report?"
Hugo's defensive tone softened, and he couldn't help but smirk slightly. "What's wrong? Can't | be concerned about you?"
"I don't need your concern. You're acting like a creep.”
Hugo frowned. Despite being more forgiving, he found it hard to accept her words. "So, what are you trying to say?"
"I mean, you don't need to concern yourself with my health from now on." Annoyed, she grabbed her medical report from the desk and tore it in half.
Hugo remained silent for a moment before asking softly, "Do you have a solution to cure your illness?"

Pearl finally couldn't take it anymore. "This has nothing to do with you."
"Why not? You're my fiancee now. If anything happens to you, who am | going to marry?"
Pearl glared at him. "I only agreed to be engaged to you. Who said | was going to marry you?"
Hugo, somewhat resigned, rubbed his forehead and chuckled softly. "Well, let's make a deal. If | can cure your illness, you'll have to marry me."
"No way. You should just give up on that idea." Being engaged to him was already going against her wishes. If she married him, she would probably
spend the rest of her life in misery.
Hugo continued to tease her, playfully bending down and saying, "What do you mean no way? Weren't you forced to be withbecause of your
mother's illness? Why are you unwilling to do it now, pretending to be all high and mighty?"
"Remember to keep your promise," was all Pearl said in response. The words 'high and mighty" stung her deeply, but she decided not to engage in
further argument. She gave him a disdainful look and left the room.
As she walked out, she noticed Gigi passing by with a tray. Gigi's expression seemed uneasy and nervous.
"What's wrong, Gigi?" Pearl asked in a softer tone, concerned about her.
"I'm fine. | just hurt myself while preparing the medicine,” Gigi quickly cup with an excuse.
Pearl examined Gigi's right hand, which appeared reddened. "Be careful next time, okay? I'll get sointment from my room. You just need to apply
it a few times, and it'll be fine."

"Okay. Thank you, Pea." Gigi smiled sweetly.
Pearl then returned to her room, while Gigi's heart remained unsettled. She couldn't help but think about what she had just heard. Pearl had been
forced into a relationship with Doctor Hugo, and she had endured it all for Aunt Beah's sake. Now, she was trapped in a situation she didn't want to be
in.
Gigi was filled with sadness, and she didn't know whom to confide in. She feared that Aunt Beah would be very upset if she found out about the truth.
With the prepared medicine in hand, Gigi headed to Beah's room. She knocked on the door and entered, finding Beah reading a magazine and
seemingly in a good mood.
"This is your medicine for tonight, Aunt Beah," Gigi said as she placed the tray on the table.
Her anxious expression didn't go unnoticed by Beah. Sensing that Gigi was troubled, she asked, "What's wrong? Did something happen?"
Gigi stammered, "N-No, i-it's nothing. I..."
