Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard) novel Chapter 807

"Of course, it's because I no longer had feelings for you," Silas admitted.

But there was another painful truth he had been hiding from her, a truth he couldn't bring himself to reveal because it would only cause her more pain.

Estrella stifled a response, deciding not to press him further on the matter. She turned her gaze to the rain outside, which seemed to be intensifying and showing no signs of stopping.

The heavy fog blurred the car windows until they could hardly see anything. She closed her eyes, seeking a moment of rest.

However, Silas couldn't keep calm with Estrella beside him. He couldn't concentrate on driving, and the thick fog made it difficult to see clearly. Suddenly, the car collided with the side railing with a loud crash.

Bang!

They jolted forward due to inertia. Silas's forehead struck the steering wheel hard, causing it to bleed profusely.

Estrella was less seriously injured; she had managed to protect her head at the last moment. She had some scratches on her arms but was otherwise fine.

When she regained her composure, she immediately turned her attention to Silas. Strangely, the airbag hadn't deployed. Silas's face was covered in blood, and he had lost consciousness. Without wasting any time, she called 911.

All she could do was to scream for help.

Despite the rainy weather and the sparse traffic on the road, a few kind-hearted people stopped and gathered around the accident scene. They attempted to help pull Silas and Estrella out of the car and contacted the authorities.

The ambulance finally arrived half an hour later.

As the medical team rushed Silas away on a stretcher, one of the paramedics asked, "Who are you to him?"

Estrella replied confidently, "I'm his girlfriend."

Estrella instinctively wanted to decline her offer. "No, it's fine—"

"Why not?" Pearl sounded confused.

Suddenly realizing her mistake, Estrella blushed and corrected herself, "I misspoke earlier. I'll tell you the address now." She provided Pearl with the hospital's location and hung up.

Standing by Silas's bedside, Estrella gazed at him. His eyes remained closed, and he was still unconscious. A myriad of emotions surged within her.

She tentatively reached out her hand to touch his face but quickly pulled it away as if shocked.

Feeling suffocated, she decided to take a walk outside. When she headed for the door, she noticed Pearl's arrival. Pearl looked exhausted, as if she had rushed there as soon as she heard the news.

A pang of bitterness filled Estrella. "Miss Pearl, you came here so quickly. You must be really worried about him."
