Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl



"Thank you, Nurse Tania. I really appreciate all your help. If there's anything I can ever do for you, just let me know. I'll be there."

Tania felt a heavy guilt for ever thinking of harming such a kind person. "It's no problem at all. I'm just happy to see you're doing well," she replied.

Tania was eager to leave quickly to avoid making a mistake around her. The longer they talked, the more she feared she might break down and ask for forgiveness.

Pearl noticed Tania's discomfort, so she stepped in. "Okay, Tania needs to get back to her duties."

Esther finally walked away.

Tania was uneasy as she watched Pearl's calm smile. She wondered if Pearl really forgave her or if she had simply forgotten their conflict.

"Miss Pearl," Tania called out, stopping her.

Pearl, who was walking with Esther, turned back with an even brighter smile. "Yes, Nurse Tania?"

Tania hesitated, unsure of what to say next.

Pearl seemed to remember something important. "Oh, I have great news. I'm holding a press conference tomorrow to announce the launch of the cure. It could help your parents since they haven't recovered yet. Thank you again for your care."NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

With that, Pearl and Esther left.

Tania felt a mix of emotions as she watched them walk away, and then she looked down, lost in thought.

The next day, the press conference began on time. With the epidemic worsening, only essential staff and reporters were allowed. Everyone wore masks.

Pearl stood on the stage and briefly introduced her new medicine.

Simon was half-asleep in his chair, while Esther looked around with wide, curious eyes.

After Pearl described the benefits of the drug, a reporter raised his hand. "Miss Pearl, you say this drug is effective, but where's the proof?"

Esther's treatment details were confidential, so it was understandable that the reporter hadn't heard about her recovery.

"I have the proof, but let's finish the introductions first," Pearl replied.

The reporter pushed back, not satisfied. "We need to know the critical details now. The

introduction didn't cover what we expected."

Pearl noted his arrogant demeanor and smirked. She knew he was looking for trouble.
