Chapter 412

Chapter 412

For several days, Pearl endured her captivity in the villa. She was subjected to constant monitoring,

being forced to eat various things, and having her weight checked regularly.

Strangely, Raymond had not anticipated that Pearl’s weight would remain constant. If anything, it

seemed like she was losing weight.

One night, as Pearl’s b*dy weakened after a blood test, the door to her room opened. Initially, she

thought it was the butler delivering her food, but upon closer inspection, she realized it was a young

woman.

The woman appeared to be quite pale, but her eyes sparkled with vitality, and she had a certain char?n

about her.

“Who are you?”

“I’m Pearl Leighton.” Pearl smiled at the woman. “And you

are?”

“I’m Angela Wickam.” Angel smiled shyly and placed the tray on the side table.

“What’s your relationship with Raymond?”

At the mention of Raymond’s name, Angela’s hands momentarily stiffened, but she then replied firmly,

“He’s my boyfriend.”

Pearl’s suspicion grew upon hearing Angela’s words. “You’re Raymond’s first love.”

“Yeah, but why are you here?” Angela inquired, her curiosity piqued by Pearl’s captivity and the

handcuffs on her limbs.

Angela was quite sheltered and had always been naive. Once she came of age, Raymond always kept

her safe in the villa. So, naturally, she felt scared by such a scene.

Sensing Angela’s kindness, Pearl realized she might be able to escape with her assistance. She

quickly showed a pitiable expression. “I’m being locked up here. Can you help me?”

She hoped to arouse Angela’s compassion with her desperate appearance.

“Raymond, that b*stard! How could he kidnap you?” Angela exclaimed, feeling deeply sorry for Pearl as

she saw the tears in her eyes. “Please don’t cry. But can you tell me why he’s keeping you locked up?”

Pearl gazed at Angela with a feeble look and said, “It’s because of you.”

Angela was momentarily stunned, a sense of dread washing over her. “Is he planning to exchange my

blood with yours?”

Pearl nodded without a word.

“That b*stard…” Angela’s voice trembled. “He told me yesterday that I’ll be getting a new blood source

from a dying person, who willingly wanted to donate blood. I had no idea…”

Pearl was lying on the bed, her wrists bearing scratches and soreness from her prolonged

imprisonment. Angela’s heart ached with deeper sorrow and guilt as she took in the sight.

“Don’t worry. I won’t let him use your blood. I’ll talk to Raymond…”

Pearl began to speak, “Why don’t you help me-” but was cut off when the door swung open

unexpectedly. She cursed the unfortunate timing as she saw Raymond standing there.

Raymond, upon seeing Angela, appeared bewildered. “Angela, what…”

Angela stood up with anger in her eyes. “How could you do this, Raymond? Pearl is perfectly healthy,novelbin

yet you want to exchange my blood with hers?”
