The guard, getting impatient, snatched her mask off. "Let's see what— Ahh!"
As soon as he saw her face, he tossed her mask away in shock. "Your face is so ugly! Are those really pimples? They're leaking pus! Gross! Don't
show your face here again!"
"Okay..." Pearl suppressed her laughter and feigned sadness. She picked up her mask from the ground, put it back on, and walked away with her
head down.

Once outside, she immediately took off her mask. Then, she loosened her headscarf, letting her hair cascade down. From her pocket, she pulled out
a special cream, dabbed it on a tissue, and wiped her face. The pimples and pus vanished in a flash, leaving her skin flawless.
Ten minutes later, she reached the agreed spot with Wayne, waiting quietly for his car.
Acar pulled up, but it wasn't Wayne's. The license plate didn't match.
Pearl grew wary instantly. Seeing who was inside, she looked surprised. "Damian, what are you doing here?"
Damian, in his flashy Cayenne, looked eager. "I'm here to pick you up and share something with you," he said mysteriously.
"I'm only interested in my mom's situation right now." Pearl slumped into her seat, rubbing her tired eyes. She had to wear colored contacts earlier to
deal with that guard, a discomfort she despised. Taking them off, her eyes felt relieved.
"Good, because I've got news about her."
Pearl perked up at his words, her exhaustion fading. "What do you know? Tell me." Damian wasn't one for jokes. If he said it, it had to be true.
She felt a surge of anticipation. Maybe Damian had found out where her mom was.

"She's currently at a sanatorium in Enswood. But, according to Gigi, her condition isn't great, and she might need treatment."
Prepared as she was, Pearl couldn't shake off the worry. "Can you takethere now?"
Damian revved the engine, saying, "Why else do you think | chere?"
Pearl's eyes lit up. "Great!"
