Pearl fought to hold back her tears, but she just couldn't help it. She blamed it on the cold weather for making her eyes dry.
She clicked on Richard's profile and unfriended him, proceeding to unfollow him on all social media platforms. She then opened a gand noticed
his familiar profile picture, indicating that he was online.
Her heart raced, and she immediately switched to stealth mode. Richard rarely played games because of his busy work schedule, but they had
played together a few times in the past.
Many people had added her because of her identity as Pearlbelle, and Richard, being possessive, had formed a close in-grelationship with her,
spending a significant amount of ttogether.
Without thinking much, she checked his grecords. Scrolling through the pages, she noticed that he had been playing with a girl recently. She
played the support role exceptionally well, and the two of them were steadily ranking up together, showing great synergy.

Pearl couldn't quite pinpoint her feelings, but her fingers trembled, and she immediately removed him from her list of friends.
After that, a surge of emotions overwhelmed her, and she was consumed by darkness.
Afew days later, Pearl and Hugo successfully held their engagement ceremony.
Gigi's facial scar had almost healed, and she expressed her desire to be the most beautiful bridesmaid when Pearl and Hugo got married.
Despite Pearl's untreatable illness, she refused to interfere with Richard's commitment and Hugo's plans, avoiding any discussions about her own
marriage with Gigi.
Lately, Hugo seemed to be getting busier and was spending less tat home. Pearl, curious about his activities, asked him when he returned early
one day, "What have you been up to lately, Hugo?"
Hugo replied with a tired look on his face, "There have been sissues at the company that require my attention. Also, Aunt Beah's illness has
reached a critical stage so | can't take it lightly."
Pearl nodded and offered to help. "Is there anything | can do for you?"
"Are you so eager to spend talone with me?" Hugo teased her.
Pearl was momentarily taken aback but then realized that if she helped him, it would mean spending talone in the sroom as him. She glared
at him and walked away.
As she passed Hugo's room, she noticed something unusual. In the past, Hugo had always kept his room locked when he was away. However,
recently, he had left it unlocked.
Did this mean that he had completely trusted her? This piqued her curiosity.
Pearl hesitated for a moment but decided to enter his room while he was absent.

Inside, she found that Hugo's room was quite similar to what she had imagined—spacious, tidy, and lacking in personal touches. Her eyes were
drawn to a desk covered in reports that appeared to be related to her mother's illness.
Pearl's medical knowledge allowed her to deduce that her mother's condition was gradually improving, which filled her with relief.
As she continued to examine the papers, she cacross another report. There was no non it, but as she read its contents, it started to feel
strangely familiar.
When she reached the last page, she finally realized the shocking truth: it was her own medical examination report! The report detailed her symptoms
and the severity of her condition.
Pearl's mind was in turmoil as she tried to process this discovery, but her thoughts were interrupted by a cold voice from behind her.
"What are you doing in my room?"
