Chapter 549

“Ouch… It hurt,” Pearl mumbled.
Pearl blinked and found herself in a fancy room with lots of gold decorations. She thought she must be in a golden room. She remembered jumping into the sea, but her swimming skills were not great, and she passed out after swallowing some seawater.
While lying in bed, she felt a bit dizzy, like the room was moving. She wondered how she ended up here.
Before she could think too much, she heard some noise outside the door. She got cautious and reached for the dagger she kept under the covers. But she realized her clothes had been changed without her knowing.
The door slowly creaked open, and she saw white sneakers. Looking up, she saw a man in gray sportswear with a white short–sleeved shirt and a blue and white jacket. He looked like a sporty guy, quite different from his usual sharp suits.
When she saw his face, she was shocked. “What are you doing here, Sean?” she blurted out.
It was Sean, but he looked completely different from usual. She wondered when he had this other personality. Normally, he wore suits, but now he seemed casual and sporty.
“What do you mean, Sean? Are you sure you’ve got the right person?”
Pearl rolled her eyes. “Don’t act like I don’t know. Tell me where I am. I’m really puzzled.”
‘Sean‘ walked over and reached out to touch her forehead. “Let me see. Hasn’t the fever gone down? Why are you still talking nonsense?”
Pearl smacked his hand away and glared at him. “What are you doing, Sean? Don’t you know about personal space? I was asking you a question. Where are we?”
‘Sean‘ sighed helplessly. He put his hands in his pockets as he sat on a chair. “We’re on a transoceanic cargo ship, and we’re about to reach Solvosin. And for the last time, my name isn’t Sean. I’m Drew. Are you sure you don’t need to ch*ck your brain?”
Pearl’s mind was blown. Solvosin? A cargo ship? Drew?
He really wasn’t Sean.
“Can you tell me how you found me in more detail?” Pearl asked, her curiosity piqued.
Seeing her interest, Drew smiled and crossed his legs. “Honestly, I don’t have much to do with this. You suddenly appeared on the surface of the sea, like you were drowning. When we found you, you were holding onto a wooden post, and the crew members who can swim well rescued you.”
“How long have I been asleep?”
“We’re not far from Solvosin, and it takes about two weeks for the cargo ship to get there. You’ve been unconscious for about five days.”
Five days?! Pearl was taken aback but managed to stay calm. “Thank you, I understand.”
She needed to contact Richard immediately to find out what had happened to him. “Can I

borrow your phone?”
Drew rolled his eyes. “Do you have any common sense? We’re in the middle of the sea. The signal is so weak. How do you expect to make a phone call?”
Pearl had to give up on the idea. “By the way, about my clothes…” She glanced at the man in front of her and furrowed her brows. “You didn’t change them, did you?”
