Pearl brought Richard’s hair to the hospital in the morning for the DNA test.
As she was leaving, Hugo, who happened to be walking past, spotted her. Once she had left, he
entered the
DNA testing room.
“What was the girl here for?” Hugo casually inquired as he walked in.
The doctor recognized him and immediately tensed up. “Dr. Waldorf, she came for a DNA test.”

The doctor handed the sample to him and smiled. “This one…”
Hugo picked up the sample and examined it. There were two strands of hair inside, one long and one

The short one was…
He suddenly had a bold idea, then he said to the doctor, “Could you get this month’s report for me
please?”
The doctor nodded and went to retrieve the report. Seizing the opportunity, Hugo took out the long hair
from the bag and replaced it with one of his own.
After that, he stood up straight and instructed, “Take your time. I have to rush off, so once you find it,
bring it to my office.”
“Okay.”
Hugo then left with a cunning smile.
Pearl was ready to return to the office when she noticed a familiar woman sitting on the floor, looking
injured.
Approaching her, she found that the woman was the same one who had given her flowers.
“Are you alright?” Pearl squatted down and checked her, discovering that she had a sprained ankle.
“The hospital is nearby. Would you like me to take you there?”
The woman was in immense pain and refused to speak. Instead, she just nodded.
Pearl helped her to her feet, and as they leaned closer, she noticed a silver necklace around the

“Can I ask you a question?” Pearl asked cautiously.
The woman replied with some enthusiasm. “Sure, go ahead.”
“Could you tell me where you got this pendant from? It looks familiar to me, and my dad had one too,
although his was slightly different…”
The woman froze and suddenly started trembling. “What?”
“I said your pendant looks a lot like the one my dad had.”
“Where’s your dad now?”
Pearl lowered her voice, “Dad… He passed away.”
The woman’s trembling hand hung in mid-air, and tears soon streamed down her face. She was
wearing glasses, so Pearl couldn’t see the sadness in her eyes.
“Are you alright, Madam?” Pearl was shocked to see this unexpected emotional reaction.
