Chapter 1275
4'11 never, ever fall in love with you! ’
Pearl was stunned. She felt as if someone had stabbed her in her heart. Her shoulders
trembled, and tears began to roll down from her eyes.
“I didn’t—” Tanner clasped his hands on her cheeks and pulled her closer.
Pearl bit into his shoulder so hard that he pushed her away reflexively in pain, causing
her to fall on the glass shards on the floor.
“Pearl!” Tanner hurriedly ran over and scooped her up from the floor. His whole body
trembled when he saw the scene in front of him.
The glass shards had stabbed into Pearl's cheek.
Tanner carried her in his arms and rushed her to the hospital.
At the hospital...
Tanner sat against the wall of the emergency exit. The floor was littered with cigarette

When he thought about the wounds on Pearl's cheek, Tanner covered his face with his palms in pain as a tear slid
down in the darkness.
He returned to the ward despondently and sat down on the chair next to the bed. Pearl was lying on the bed with
her right cheek covered in gauze. He held her cold hand tremblingly against his forehead. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry.”
He did not mean it. He did not want to hurt her at all.
His brain was blank, and he did not know what he should do right now.
Tanner placed her hand against his cheek and tightened his grip as he watched Pearl, who was still sleeping.
The next morning...
Tanner opened his eyes and woke up. when he couldn’t feel Pearl’s hand, he jerked up from the chair. However, the
bed was empty, and Pearl was nowhere to be seen.
“Pearl! ” Tanner shouted. He ran to the corridor and stopped a nurse. “Where is the patient in this ward?” The nurse
was stunned. “Is the patient not in the room?”
A bad feeling rose up from Tanner’s stomach pit, and he shouted, “Quickly! I want to see the surveillance footage!”
“But unauthorized personnel aren’t allowed to watch the surveillance footage— ”
Before the nurse could finish her sentence, Tanner interrupted her forcefully and shouted, “Ask your director to
come and see me if anything happens.
Hurry up and get me the surveillance footage now. If something happens to her, I’ll bring this hospital down!”

Pearl walked barefoot on the street in her hospital gown, and a jacket draped over her shoulder. The wind was cold
as it blew through her long hair and bit through her skin, but her heart was already dead.
Everyone on the street was looking at her, and an old woman selling potatoes on the street stopped her. " Girl, why
did you run out of the hospital and wear so little? Aren’t you cold?"
Her eyes rolled around in the sockets as she parted her chapped lips open. “No... I’m not cold.”
The old woman handed a hot potato to her and said, “ Here, take this and eat it to
warm up yourself. You're still young, and you still have a long way to go. You shouldn't
think too much. Hurry up and go back to the hospital.”
Pearl looked at her, and her eyes turned red around the rims. She lowered her head to

Tears began to roll down her cheeks as she laughed in despair.
Meanwhile, Tanner was looking for her on the street in his car. He had made several
calls in a row, and in the end, he called Helios.
Helios picked up his call and said, “Tanner?”
Tanner calmed himself down and said, “Helios, help me to find Pearl. She has run away
from the hospital. I’m worried that she might...”
Helios fell silent for a moment before saying, “okay. I’ll get someone to look for her,
and I’ll get back to you when we find her.”
Helios took a deep breath, and he gripped the steering wheel even tighter. He couldn't
imagine if she really left him...
He stamped on the accelerator.
The seawater beat against the rocks and the snow- white waves covered the moss in
the cracks of the rocks. Pearl stood under the ivory-colored lighthouse. Her feet were
frozen and filled with wounds after coming all the way here.
