“Gigi, did you give the necklaces I asked you to?” Pearl inquired, her eyes fixed on the girl.

She stuttered nervously, “I… I forgot.”
Pearl’s gaze bore into her. How could she have forgotten something so important?
“Take me to see her now and give the necklaces back to me.”
Gigi panicked. “Aren’t you getting married? Why are you here?”

intentionally not give the necklaces?”

trouble you or report you.

appeared at the top of the stairs.
“Pearl?”

indicated at prolonged illness.

appearance. She couldn’t bring herself to call her “mom” just yet. But upon seeing her, a
strange emotion welled up within her, possibly due to the natural bond between mother
and child.

Beah was very excited and said in a hushed tone, “Don’t come too close, I don’t want to
infect you.”
“I’m not afraid of this.” Pearl held her even tighter and sobbed. “I’ve been searching for
you for so long, but you were here all along. Why wouldn’t you see me?”
Beah sighed. “My dear child, it’s not that I don’t want to. I just didn’t dare.”
Pearl was curious. “Why not?”
“Because I’m just a puppet in this place,” Beah replied with a sad smile. “I’ve always kept
your existence hidden from your grandfather. He didn’t know about you, so even when I
secretly visited you, I could only watch from afar.”
