Chapter 589
Ezra appeared somewhat flustered as he hadn’t expected Pearl to want to see Beah so soon. “I mentioned earlier that your mom has some psychological issues. I’m concerned that your sudden presence might affect her condition.”
Pearl didn’t pay much heed to Ezra’s explanation and made her intentions clear. “I’m a trained medical professional, so my purpose is to help her, not harm her. Rest assured, I won’t worsen her condition because I’m a doctor.”
Ezra’s expression soured further as he momentarily forgot that Pearl had a medical background. “But every doctor has their own methods of treatment…”
“Do you really think I would hurt my own mother?”
Ezra swallowed his reservations.
“Didn’t you say I’m going to be married in ten days? I have a condition. I get to see her during this time and I get to do it whenever I want to, or I won’t get married.”
Pearl sounded resolute, catching Ezra off guard. “Are you sure you’re willing to marry?”
Pearl’s eyes darted around, and she put on an innocent smile. “Of course, I’m willing to marry into a good family. Richard has lost his memories, and he no longer loves me, Staying with him would just be a waste of time. It’s better to marry someone else.”
Ezra wasn’t entirely convinced but accepted her answer. “Very well. I’ll permit you to see your mother, but you cannot take her out of this place. You can only stay there.”
Pearl’s eyes shone. “Deal. Take me to her now.”
Ezra instructed the butler to escort Pearl to a garden on the east wing and then left for work.
A rush of emotions overwhelmed Pearl as she walked on the dried leaves. She hadn’t seen her mother in years, and she couldn’t recall her appearance.
She had heard that they bore a strong resemblance to each other. Pearl was eager to see the face that had captured Bodgow’s heart and give her a check–up.
She extended her arm to stop the butler from following her inside. “I’ll go in by myself. Wait here or leave. There’s tight security here, and I won’t be able to escape. Why are you even worried?” novelbin

The butler was placed in a difficult situation. “But the master instructed us to stay with you.”
“If you follow me like this, it will only affect my reunion with my mother. Go tell him that I want to be alone with her. If he doesn’t allow that, our agreement is off.” It was a thinly veiled threat, but Pearl was determined not to back down. Her resolute gaze was almost terrifying.
The butler had little choice but to sigh and say, “Very well, I’ll inform him now.” He then led the group away from the garden, leaving Pearl to enter the cottage.
In front of her was a bed of cockscomb flowers. As she took a few steps further, she noticed that the inner garden was distinct from the outer one, which was strewn with leaves. This one was well–kept.
As she readied herself to proceed, a clear voice called out to her. “What are you doing?”

Pearl turned around to find the girl from the previous night. Recalling the necklace she had asked her to deliver, Pearl decided to lower her guard. “I forgot to ask for your name earlier. What’s your name?”
The girl looked away. “Gigi.”
