“I contacted her first, and she told me that you’ve locked Pearl up here. She then asked me to come
and save her quickly,” Richard explained, his eyes filled with icy determination. “Your beloved doesn’t
even want you to do such a crazy thing. Don’t you understand that now?” novelbin
“Some people want to make use of her kindness, which is selfish,” Raymond retorted, glaring at
Richard.
Angela, on the verge of tears, interjected, “I know you did it for me, Ray, but I don’t want this.”
Raymond persisted, “Stop talking. You’re going to live like a normal person soon.” His eyes were filled
with adoration, but Angela remained resolute.
“No, I don’t want to!”
For the first time, Angela openly shared her innermost thoughts. Over the years, she had always
obeyed Raymond to avoid causing him any worries. But she couldn’t condone this illegal action.
“You’ll only make me sad by doing this. Even if I can live like an ordinary person in the future, I can
never live with peace of mind,” Angela pleaded.
“Angela…” Raymond’s smile wavered, his eyes welling up with tears.
“Stop, Raymond. It’s more than enough if you love me for the rest of my life.”
Angela wasn’t used to speaking so much in one go, which left her legs feeling weak, causing her to fall
to her knees. Despite the pain from the fall, she continued to plead eamestly with Raymond.
This heartfelt plea left Raymond with complex emotions and a deep sense of disappointment, knowing
that he could no longer go through with his plan.
“I can save her,” Pearl suddenly broke her silence, capturing their attention.
“You’re saying that you can save Angela? Is it true?” Raymond’s eyes sparkled with hope.
“Yes, I learned all of Simon’s medical skills, and I can try my best to save her. Plus, I can save her as
long as you get what I want,” Pearl asserted.
“Of course,” Raymond replied with trembling excitement, momentarily forgetting that Pearl was Simon’s
protege.
He slowly released her and tried to stand up, but Richard’s men quickly held him in place.
Angela, struggling to stand, tugged at Richard’s sleeve. “Please let Raymond go, Mister Richard. Can
you do that now that I’ve told you where Pearl was?”
Richard remained silent for a moment, but when he saw Pearl’s nod, he agreed reluctantly. “Okay, I’ll
let him go.”
As Raymond’s arms were released, Angela rushed over and hugged him tightly. “Ray…”
Raymond gently caressed her hair. “I’m fine.”
They held each other for a while, leaving Richard with a displeased expression. Eventually, Raymond
remembered that he hadn’t freed Pearl yet.
When Pearl fell to the floor, Richard rushed to support her.
“You promised to save Angela. Don’t break your word.”
Pearl rolled her eyes at him, exasperated. “Yes, I promised you, but not right now. You’ve locked me up
for seven days. Can’t I take a break?”
Awkward, Raymond was struck speechless. Meanwhile, Angela smiled and nodded. “It’s okay, Pearl.
Rest well.”
Pearl sighed softly at the sight of Angela’s pale face. “Don’t worry. I’m sure I’m more reliable than
Raymond.” Raymond’s face drained of color, leaving him at a loss for words.

Amused by the situation, Angela said, “You’re the first one to say that. You’re quite funny. No wonder
someone as aloof as Mister Richard would fall in love with you. If I were a man, you might have
bewitched me.”
“No, I doubt it. She’s too scheming. I prefer a kind and naive girl like you.”
Richard tightened his grip around Pearl’s waist and cast a lowing look at Raymond. “You don’t have a
chance either After all, you failed to make a good impression on her during your time together for half a
month.”
