Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard) novel Chapter 852

Pearl's desire to be stronger didn't come from a lack of power but from a need for absolute control and confidence.

Damian, understanding her intentions, tried to console her. "You'll get there in your own time. The important thing now is—"

"No, it's very urgent." Pearl touched the diary, sounding firm despite her soft voice. "My mom has passed away. It means that I'm late."

Damian felt that his words were too superficial, so he changed the topic. "What's your next step? To reclaim Aunt Beah's body?"

Pearl tensed at the mention of it, her mind filled with apprehension.

But when she finally saw her mother's body, her fears were eased. Beah's serene expression seemed to convey peace, as if she had been released from all earthly troubles.

Gigi, lost in grief, didn't notice Pearl's approach until she was enveloped in her arms. Her eyes were swollen from crying, her guilt consuming her.

"Pea…"

Helpless, Pearl patted Gigi's back. "Stop crying. It's okay. It's all over now."

"It's my fault. If I hadn't overheard that conversation and told Aunt Beah about it, she might still be alive... I just hate myself..."

"Thank you, Pea."

Pearl looked at her and Damian before whispering, "You've been here for a long time. I'm sure you're tired. Let Damian take you to rest. I'll take over instead."

Damian wanted to refuse, but he understood Pearl's need for solitude and agreed to give her space. "Okay."

Pearl wanted to cherish this final moment with her mother, while Gigi, now Georgia, left to rest under Damian's care.
