Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl

Chapter 1318

Agnes knew Esther would find out about the truth sooner or later. Reluctantly, she let Esther into the hospital

room.

Esther dressed in sterile clothes and gently opened the door to enter. She saw James lying weakly in bed, and tears welled up in her eyes.Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

"James, I'm here to see you."

The patient monitor next to James beeped faster when he saw Esther. Esther noticed but kept her head down, realizing he didn't want to see her.

"I'm sorry. I know you don't want to see me now, but I really needed to. I need to know about your illness." James was weak but didn't need oxygen yet.

"What are you doing here? Didn't I tell you it's over between us? Don't come back."

Esther felt hurt by his words even though she knew he was ill. "I told you, I needed to see if you were okay." "Esther, I've told you, we're done."

"Yes, I know. But can't we be friends? Aunt Agnes and I are close. Can't I visit her?"

"If you're here to see my mom, why come to my room?"

Esther replied, "I just told her she's like my sister. Can't I check on my godson?"

James was furious. Godson? How could Esther say that?

"I don't care why you're here. I don't want to see you. You're upsetting me. Please leave."

Esther saw his stern face, but his words still made her nervous. "I found out the truth. You broke up with me because of your illness, right?"

James scoffed. "What? No, I broke up with you because I don't love you anymore. Understand?"

"James! That really hurts to hear. Don't you know I'm really worried about you?"

"I don't need your concern."

James knew Esther well. She was soft-hearted and often overthink things, so he said the harshest thing to hurt her.

But Esther also knew James well. She understood that he was being cruel to push her away, not wanting her to suffer when he was gone.

She was aware of what James was thinking. So, she sat down next to his bed. "I'm sorry. You can't really stop me from staying. I won't leave today."

"How could you!"

Angry, James struggled to breathe.

Esther worried her presence might make his condition worse. But seeing him stable, she sighed in relief.
