Female Novel
Chapter 808
Pearl, being the witty person she was, sensed that Estrella was jealous. So, she quickly offered anexplanation, "He's a streamer from my company. I wouldn't be able to face his parents if anythinghappened to him."
She tactfully conveyed to Estrella that there was nothing romantic between Silas and her andassured her not to worry.
Estrella looked up, her eyes were teary. "I'm sorry. It's my fault. If I hadn't talked to him anddistracted him in the car, this accident wouldn't have happened."
"Don't blame yourself. This isn't your fault at all. It's his responsibility." Pearl forced a comfortingsmile and gently patted Estrella's hand. Although it wasn't the most empathetic thing to say aboutthe unconscious Silas lying in bed, it seemed acceptable since he couldn't hear it.
"What do you mean it's my responsibility?" An irritated voice suddenly interrupted them from behind.
Startled, they turned to see Silas, who had just awakened, appearing somewhat dazed.
"You woke up so quickly. You're lucky," Pearl remarked as she placed a fruit basket by his bedside.
"I'm glad I saw you the moment I woke up. It looks like you're very concerned about me, rushing tothe hospital as soon as you heard about my accident," Silas said with a charming smile, seeminglyoblivious to the emotions of those around him.
Estrella's face drained of color upon hearing his words.
However, Pearl clicked her tongue in disapproval. "Don't flatter yourself. I only came here because Ididn't want to face your parents if something happened to you. Stop thinking too highly of yourself."
Yet Silas remained stubborn. "I don't care. You did rush to the hospital because of me."
Estrella felt somewhat out of place in their conversation. She muttered, "I'll leave you two to talk."
"Just go back on your own. The rain has stopped." Silas waved her off. Despite having been in a caraccident together, he seemed indifferent to whether Estrella was hurt or not.
Disappointed and feeling humiliated, Estrella hastily left without even saying goodbye to Pearl.
Pearl watched her leave and then turned to glare at Silas. "How could you say that to her? Shecame with you and took care of you for so long, and you treat your savior like that?"
Silas shrugged. "If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have been in a car accident."
But Pearl had a different perspective. "So, you're saying that her presence affected your mood?" Itseemed like Silas had some feelings toward Estrella after all.
Silas became flustered. "Stop reading too much into it. You're the only one I care about."
Pearl's patience was wearing thin. "Let me make this clear one last time: I will never fall in love withyou or be with you. Just give up."
Silas pouted. "We'll see about that. You can't say for sure."
Pearl ignored him and decided to call his parents to arrange for someone to take care of him.
Silas questioned her when he noticed her on the phone, "Who are you calling?"novelbin
"Your parents. I'm going to get someone to take care of you," Pearl replied matter-of-factly. It wasonly logical to call Silas' parents to take care of him.
Silas immediately objected. "I don't want them taking care of me."
Pearl put away her phone and pointed at the busy nurse nearby. "Then, should I hire a caretaker foryou?"
Silas stopped protesting when he realized that Pearl wasn't going to back down. "I want you to takecare of me."
Pearl couldn't help but smile at his audacity. "Silas, you must be dreaming."
"You're saying I'm dreaming?" Silas pouted and feigned a pitiful look.
