Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl

Chapter 967

Wayne sounded unusually distressed, which immediately made Pearl anxious. "What happened?"

"It's Esther. During a rehearsal overseas, she collapsed from a high fever that wouldn't go away. The doctors diagnosed her with

leukemia!"

Leukemia echoed in Pearl's mind, leaving her breathless. "How is she doing now?"

"The situation is quite serious. She urgently needs a bone marrow transplant, but they haven't found a match."

Pearl felt a mix of emotions. "Is it possible to find a match here in our country?"

"lI haven't checked with our hospitals yet. I'll get on it right away."

"Okay, please hurry!"

After the call, Richard, noticing Pearl's worried look, asked, "Is Esther sick with leukemia?"

"It's so sudden. She was okay before this."

"Don't worry too much. Leukemia can be treated with a bone marrow transplant."

Pearl smiled bitterly and nodded. "I'm aware of that. I'm a doctor after all. But the disease is harsh. I'm not sure if Esther can

withstand the treatment."

"Esther is strong and positive. She'll make it through."

Pearl seemed to be beside herself. "I think | should visit her."

Richard patted Pearl's shoulders and whispered, "I'll go with you."

Saule, picking up on their distress, inquired, "Who's Esther?"

"A friend of ours, a very cute young woman."

Hearing that, Saule felt very sorry. "You should go to her quickly. Make sure she's okay."

Pearl nodded, resolving to book their flights immediately. Suddenly, she recalled something and asked, "Mom, will you be alright

here by yourself?"

Saule waved and reassured her, "Don't worry about me. I'll be fine at home."

"If my parents cback, just say you're a friend of Pearl's mom. They'll look after you," Richard suggested, ensuring Saule

wouldn't have to reveal her true identity and could stay comfortably.

Saule appreciated Richard's thoughtfulness, causing her to like him more. "Alright, I'll do that."

Before leaving, Pearl and Richard made quick arrangements with their workplaces, uncertain of how long they'd be gone. Pearl

then thought of James.

"I think | better call James and tell him about this."

Richard didn't object.

However, James's phone was off, and after several attempts, Pearl decided to wait until they arrived to contact him.

An hour later, they were packed and on their way to Enswood Airport.

The flight to Mernaut was only four hours, but Pearl was restless throughout.

Upon landing, they rushed to the hospital. Entering Esther's ward, Pearl's heart sank at the sight of her frail friend.

Tears welled up in her eyes, especially when she saw James there, equally distressed.
