Chapter 215
Why didn’t he think Pearl would lie on the tracks and not fall?
“Pea is still there, I see her. Can you quickly go up and get her?” Laura saw Pearl and ran over to tug on a security guard’s hand. The guard smiled and nodded when he saw such an adorable girl begging him. “Don’t worry, we’ll save her.”
“Thank you. Okay, good people will have a lot of children.”
The guard’s smile froze. That didn’t sound right, but it was funny.
Despite the awkward moment, the crew quickly rescued Pearl.
Pearl had a fear of heights and had to crawl quickly onto the tracks. As soon as her feet touched the ground, her b*dy went limp, and she collapsed.
“Pearl!” Hanzel rushed over and held her in his arms. His heart ached seeing her pale face, as if she was dead.
“I… I’m fine.”
Hanzel gently touched her face, aware of her attempt to appear unaffected. “Alright, I’m going to take you to the hospital now.
Pearl shook her head. “No, I’ve been there long enough. I’ll just rest somewhere.”
Allan overheard that and walked over. “Why don’t you come and rest in the villa we’re renting? It’s not far from here, just a five-minute walk.”
Pearl looked hesitant. “I shouldn’t intrude. I think I’ll just find somewhere to rest.”
Laura tugged at Pearl’s hand and stubbornly said, “Pea, come to our place. It’s quite big so you’ll have a good rest.”
“Please don’t refuse Laura, Miss Pearl. You helped us so there’s no reason to be shy.” Lindsay, Laura’s mom, was an understanding person and supported her husband when she noticed Pearl’s shyness.
“Alright then, thank you.

They got into the car and went to the villa.
Hanzel carried Pearl up the stairs to a guest room, and as soon as they entered the room, Pearl attempted to free herself from his arms.
“Why? Do you hate me carrying you?”
Pearl mumbled, “I’m just not used to being carried around.”
Suddenly, a familiar memory of a comforting hug and the scent of that embrace washed over her, making her heart ache. “Alright, you rest here. I’ll go downstairs.”
Pearl nodded. “Okay.”
As Hanzel left, Pearl felt the world around her grow quieter. She felt much better away from the noise of the amusement park. Apart from the initial shock and her fear of heights, she was unharmed.
She took out her phone and as expected, news about the incident was trending. The paparazzi tried to twist the truth and reported her as dead, showing a photo of her lying on the tracks.
“This reporter is an expert at distorting the facts.”
Annoyed, Pearl contemplated calling Wayne to help take down that news, but her phone rang before she could do so.
