Chapter 55 A Disloyal Friend

Elizabeth nodded. “Then, I’ll have the money ready by tomorrow. Please hurry up and

operate on Pearl as soon as possible.”

Jessica felt an oppressive weight lift off her shoulders. Suddenly feeling hungry, she dug into

her dinner.

Elizabeth glimpsed at Pearl, who didn’t have much appetite. After eating only a few

mouthfuls, Pearl pushed the bowl away and returned to the bed to play with her Barbie doll.

The Barbie doll was a gift from Abby. Both girls shared a mutual love for it.

Therefore, when Abby went shopping for dolls, she made sure to get one for Pearl.

Elizabeth watched as Pearl played merrily. Perhaps, this was the only time that thoughts of

her illness did not plague the girl’s mind.

Elizabeth stayed until the mother-daughter duo finished their dinner. By then, the nurse had

arrived, and it was time for Jessica to leave for her shift in Night City.

Hence, both of them left the hospital together. Elizabeth then saw Jessica off at the entrance

to Night City.
