Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard) novel Chapter 1244

"Why are you insisting on coming with me?" Rosalie was puzzled by Blake's decision.

"We've been spending a lot of time together lately. If you leave, I'll be all by myself."

"I'm already dealing with enough taking care of one person. Don't make it harder for me." For some reason, Rosalie saw Blake as someone who couldn't take care of himself, like a child. But, to be fair, he was much younger than her, so it made sense.

"Who said I need you to take care of me? I'm not going there for you to look after me," Blake replied awkwardly.

Rosalie was taken aback. Blake had a point. When she was sick and couldn't get out of bed, he had been diligently caring for her, making her hot tea, and even telling bedtime stories. Blake was indeed good at taking care of people.

"So, don't doubt me. I just wanted to be there for you. In case something happens, at least I can take care of both of you."

Rosalie chuckled. "Aren't you worried about getting infected yourself?"

Getting this disease wasn't a simple matter; it could be life-threatening. Besides, if something happened to him, how would she explain it to the Jordans?

Blake snorted dismissively. "I have a strong immune system. There's no way I'll get infected."

"Don't be so sure. This disease doesn't discriminate based on how healthy you are."

Blake dropped a bombshell, "If I get infected, so be it. It might even push Pearl to work faster on that medicine. She can't just sit back and watch her family suffer."
