Chapter 550
Drew almost choked on his water. “What are you thinking about? Didn’t you just say personal space? I can’t possibly help you change your clothes. Although you look fine, I’m not that desperate.”
“Good,” Pearl replied, pulling the blanket tighter around her.
“Alright, get some rest. When the ship gets to Solvosin, I’ll take you to the embassy, and they’ll arrange your journey back.”
Despite his somewhat direct words, Drew was essentially kind and made sure she understood the plan.
Pearl felt a hint of gratitude. “Okay, thank you in advance.”
“You’re welcome. Saving a life is way more important. Plus, I’m doing a good deed for myself.
Drew then got up and prepared to leave.
”
“Wait, I have one more question.” Pearl couldn’t contain her curiosity and glanced around the room again. She asked, “Why is this room so fancy? Is the owner a fan of gold or something?”
Although Drew wore simple clothes, everything in the room was the work of a famous designer, which must have cost a lot of money. So, he clearly had a special status, possibly a friend or relative of the ship owner.
Drew chuckled. “I’m not sure about that. My dad designed it this way himself. To be honest it’s pretty tacky.” As he spoke, there was a hint of impatience in his raised eyebrow.
“Alright, that’s it then. If possible, could you please arrange for some food for me? I’ll pay you back when I get back.” Pearl didn’t want to owe anyone favors.
“I almost forgot that you haven’t eaten in a while. Sure, I’ll have someone bring you some food. It’s not a big deal. You don’t have to pay me back.”
With that, Drew left the room.
Pearl sat on the bed. Shortly after her thoughts, her meal arrived. It was simple: a bowl of soup and some fruit. She quickly finished the soup, feeling warmth spreading through her b*dy.
After five days without moving, she felt almost lifeless.
She got up and went to the window. It was a cargo ship, and typically, living quarters were on the lowermost deck However, this cargo ship surprisingly had windows.
Looking outside, she saw the sparkling blue waters, which looked exceptionally beautiful.
Pearl wondered if this so–called cargo ship might actually be a sightseeing cruise. Then, the door to her room opened once again.
“Miss, our young master would like to invite you up on deck,” said a girl in traditional servant’s clothes. Her tone seemed smug, as if she didn’t like Pearl.
But Pearl didn’t have the time or mood to think about her words and actions. She was simply curious why Drew suddenly wanted her to go up and enjoy the view.
“Sure, give me a moment.” Though surprised, she agreed.

Pearl quickly straightened her clothes and followed the young girl out. The hallway was clean, neat, and brightly lit, quite different from the dirty and messy one she had expected.
The two of them took quite a detour before reaching the uppermost level. As they climbed the stairs, Pearl immediately spotted Sean standing confidently in the brisk wind.
No, wait, it was actually Drew.
Drew noticed Pearl and waved to her with a bright and brilliant smile. “Come on, let’s play.”
