Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl

Chapter 978

After Pearl returned from the bathroom, she saw Esther, who had been in bed when she left, kneeling on the floor and looking

anxious.

Seeing the doctor standing there, she asked, "What's going on?"

"I told her the nof the bone marrow donor and she got upset," the doctor said, feeling helpless and guilty. "I didn't know how

important the person was to her."

Pearl knew the doctor had no idea, so she didn't blhim. "It's fine, doctor. I'll take care of this."

The doctor nodded and left.

Pearl sat on the floor with Esther, reached out her arm, and hugged her around her shoulders. "Este," she gently called out her

name.

Esther didn't respond; she just buried her face in Pearl's chest while her shoulders shook with sobs.

"I know it's really hard for you to accept this right now, isn't it?"

Esther didn't say anything and just kept crying.

"No one is happy with Mobius's death. We're all devastated. You, Richard, and even James. All of us are hurting." Pearl held Esther's

head close to her chest and patted her back.

"But we can't bring back the dead. Life has its highs and lows, and we never know when good or bad times will come. We have to

accept life as it is, but cherish the memories we make along the way."

Esther looked up, her eyes swollen like walnuts. "Pearl, | just can't accept that he's gone all of a sudden. He even remembered to

givehis marrow before he passed, and that just makeseven sadder."

Even though they weren't together anymore, the good memories they shared still lingered in Esther's mind. Mobius remained the

skind, gentle man she'd always known.

It was this kind, gentle man who quietly left the world while she was still unconscious. She didn't even get to say goodbye to him.

"I know he cared about you. That's why he worried so much and donated his marrow. But why do you think he did that? He wanted

you to live a good life, free from suffering. He had so much hope for you, yet here you are, wearing yourself out and risking your

recovery. Is this how you repay him? Do you think this is what he wanted?"

Esther froze as she realized how foolish she had been. She stood up and wiped away her tears. "lI understand now, Pearl. Please

helpwith the IV."

Pearl nodded, helped Esther back into bed, and reinserted the needle into her arm. Then, she checked her forehead. "You don't

have a fever. Take care of yourself and don't do anything rash. Treat this as Mobius's final wish.

Esther nodded, her eyes already dry but still trembling slightly.

"Pearl." Esther's voice was hoarse. "How did his accident happen?"
