Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl

"Okay, let's go home," Richard said, gently patting Pearl's shoulder. He seemed calmer now.
Pearl shook her head. "We can't go back yet. I've got another thing to take care of."
"What's that?"
"Howard drugged Daisy. The drug is a little weird and the ingredients are rare. I need to go to his storage and grab some for later."
"Then I'm coming with you." Richard was really concerned for her. He didn't want anything bad happening to her, so he insisted on joining her.
"No, I know this place. I lived here before. Just wait for me."
Most of the Jesseltons were already caught, so it seemed safe.
But Richard couldn't just wait. As time passed, he got more and more worried and decided to follow where Pearl went. He used the smell of herbs to find the storage place. "Pearl..." He tried calling out, but got no answer. So, he walked in.
What he saw left him speechless. Pearl was sprawled on a table, surrounded by herbs, fast asleep from exhaustion.
Richard carefully covered her with his coat. Even though he was gentle, Pearl woke up, rubbed her eyes, and asked, "Why are you here? Didn't I tell you to wait?"
"If I hadn't come, you might have ended up sleeping here all night," Richard said, half-joking.
"Have I been asleep long? I just felt so tired all of a sudden." Sal*h the lindNovel.Det website on Googll to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Richard knew how hard she'd worked the past few days and couldn't be upset. "It's okay. You've been doing a lot, especially with looking for your mom. You need to rest."
Pearl stood up. "Is my mom at the hospital now?"
"Yes, I sent her over before coming
in." and d
saw the hope in her eyes
y added, "She's alrig
t needs to rest up."
Pearl felt a weight lift off her shoulders and went back to searching for the herbs
she needed, now more awake after her brief rest.

She had always kept close tabs on the area around their home, ready to hear if anything out of the ordinary happened. But this time, no one had told her anything, which meant this was new information for the

Who could have given them this information?
A name came to mind, and Pearl knew she had to confront him.
"I think I need to go see him now."
Meanwhile, Sabrina was discharged from the hospital and found someone waiting for her downstairs.
