Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard) novel Chapter 1241

Richard grinned as he pulled Pearl into his arms. "Don't worry, I won't hold you back."

As promised, Pearl went with Richard to get tested for CoroX, and the result came back negative, which relieved them. At least they were safe for now.

Pearl set up a drug lab, aiming to recruit some accomplished individuals in the medical field for research. Making medicine was a tough task, but with other matters temporarily on hold, Pearl invested a lot of money into it.

She even called Simon back from abroad. His face showed exhaustion when he entered the lab with bags in hand.

"I was having a great time abroad, playing chess with Joe, and then you urgently called me back here," he grumbled, dropping his luggage to the floor. "I'm not getting any younger, and you won't even let me enjoy my golden years. You're always keeping me busy."

Dressed in a lab coat with her hair tied back, Pearl handed him a set of lab gear. "Perfect timing. I've been struggling with one medication. Can you help me figure out how to administer it?"

Seeing his attempt at acting old and wise fail, Simon sighed and headed to the changing room to put on the clothes. When he came out, Pearl was staring at the test tubes in front of her, lost in thought.

"I've always wondered if this infection can be treated with herbs," she remarked.

Hearing her, Simon chuckled disdainfully. "Don't worry, even if the medicine can't cure it, we can work wonders. Have you forgotten what I've told you?"
