Chapter 608
Hugo hadn’t realized that Pearl seemed less annoying.
Hugo set off for Jordan Residence to expedite their plan to go abroad.
Ezra, who had recently lost his only granddaughter, appeared worn out and had even more gray hair. Cautiously eyeing Hugo, he asked, “You want to take Beah abroad for treatment?”
“Yeah, her illness is quite unusual, and she needs specialized treatment overseas.” Hugo tried to persuade Ezra in a friendly manner.
“What do you need? I can arrange to have things brought from abroad.” Ezra rubbed the place between his brows, sounding reluctant.
“Well, certain medical equipment and the recovery environment here can’t be easily replicated abroad. Even if we bring everything and everyone here from abroad, it may not yield the best results.” Hugo then smiled and sipped his tea, adding, “And why do many people go abroad for treatment if they can be easily cured here?”
Gradually, the crease between Ezra’s brows smoothed. “Can you ensure my daughter’s safety if I leave her in your care?”
“I can’t guarantee her safety, as I’m a doctor, not a b*dyguard.”
“Why should I leave her in your care if you can’t protect her?” Ezra flew into a rage and got up, smacking the table.
“But I can suggest someone who could help protect your daughter,” Hugo said calmly.
“Who?” Ezra stared at Hugo.
Fearlessly, Hugo met Ezra’s sharp gaze and replied, “Deathly Pearl.”
“The leader of Evil Spirits, Deathly Pearl?” Ezra was shocked beyond words.
In the afternoon, a black, elongated Lincoln pulled up in front of Hugo’s villa.
Pearl stood on the balcony and peered down, spotting a very familiar silhouette inside the car.
When that person stepped out of the car, her eyes welled up with tears. She covered her mouth and hastily closed the curtain, fearing that she might be seen.
After calming herself down, she waited for that person to come over.
When the door was opened, Pearl looked at Beah, deeply moved. “Mom…”
“Oh, my dear girl, what are you doing here?” Beah approached excitedly and grasped Pearl’s hands tightly. “The internet said you were dead. When I heard that terrible news, I felt like I was dying with you.”
Beah’s words made Pearl’s heart skip a beat. She held Beah’s delicate wrists, feeling the
coldness of her palms. Crying, her tears fell on her hands. “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have caused you so much worry.”

Beah reassured her, “It’s alright, it’s alright, dear. I’m just glad to see you alive and well.” She began to speak incoherently, repeating herself, and gazed at Pearl lovingly, as if she might disappear at any moment.
“Don’t worry. I’ll never leave you.” Pearl pulled Beah into a tight embrace.
As she felt Beah’s frail and slender b*dy, she made a silent vow to protect her. She wanted Beah to live a healthy and happy life, even if it meant sacrificing everything she had.
