After providing the necessary information to the authorities, Pearl heard a car horn in the distance.She helped Estrella to her feet, even though Estrella moaned in pain while clutching her woundedbelly.
"I know you're in a lot of pain, but please hang on a little longer. We'll be at the hospital soon. Thecar is here. Let's get in."
"You're Miss Pearl, aren't you?" A car pulled up beside them, and a sturdy-looking man stepped out.But when he saw Estrella's condition, he frowned. "She's bleeding a lot. Is she going to mess up mycar?"
Pearl asked, "How much is your car worth?"
The man scratched his head. "Around 27 thousand dollars."
"Give me your bank account details later. I'll transfer 68 thousand to you. Please take her to thehospital now."
The man's hesitation disappeared when he heard about the payment. He agreed without furtherdelay. "Alright, I'll drive her to the hospital."
Suddenly, he noticed the unconscious man on the ground and seemed uncertain. "What about thisguy?"
"Leave him. The police will come and take care of him," Pearl said. She then helped Estrella intothe back seat of the car and got in herself.
The man drove them to the hospital, and Estrella was rushed into the emergency room upon arrival.
Pearl decided to look up Estrella's information while she was undergoing surgery. It wasn't aninvestigation but rather an attempt to find contact information for Estrella's family, so they could beinformed about her condition.
Besides, she merely rescued Estrella. She had no obligation to stay at the hospital and keep takingcare of her.
However, while searching, Pearl discovered that Estrella had an ex-boyfriend named Silas. Shecouldn't help but wonder if it was the same Silas she knew.
As she pondered this, she recalled Yelena's harsh words from earlier, "Esti won't let you off!"
Pearl began to suspect that Esti referred to Estrella Ford. Deep in thought, she gazed at theemergency room doors.
The world seemed small, bumping into acquaintances unexpectedly.
But it wasn't something she should dwell on. Pearl decided to call Estrella's parents using ananonymous number to inform them about the accident. She also paid Estrella's medical fees as agesture of kindness.
Before leaving hastily, Pearl sensed a familiar presence brushing past her, but she didn't see theperson clearly.
However, that person recognized her.
Behind her mask, the woman's eyes welled up with tears.
"Aunt Beah, look at that person. Doesn't she look like Pea?" a woman beside her whisperedcuriously.
"Shh, keep your voice down, or she'll hear you."
"Do you miss her? Should we go and meet her if you can't bear it anymore?"
"It’s okay, Gigi. Remember, we can't burden Pearl again. Do you understand?"
"Then why did we come back to Enswood?"
"It's because... sometimes, the most dangerous place is also the safest place."
