Chapter 26
Hiking… That sounds tiring and hot, and the family was not interested in the slightest.
“Dad, I have a few surgeries today. I’m busy…”
Hugo stood up to leave but Dustan stopped him.
“What? Don’t tell me you’re the only doctor in your hospital.”
Hugo smiled awkwardly.
Hanzel and Mobius, who had wanted to excuse themselves too, kept quiet.
“Okay, it’s settled. We’ll leave in a bit.”
No one could refute Dustan’s order. They changed into sports attire and headed to a famous local scen
ic spot. When they arrived, Pearl immediately spotted Abby. The latter was wearing a long dress and s
miling tenderly.
Susan grinned when she saw Abby, “You came, Abby. I thought you wouldn’t come.”
“You called me along, Missus Susan, so of course, I came.” Abby took Susan’s hand.
Mobius, who always spoke his mind, pursed his l*ps when he saw Abby’s outfit. “Who goes hiking in a l

Pearl smiled, finding Mobius rather interesting.
Abby paled and bit her l*p. “I’m sorry. I don’t often hike, so I didn’t know…”

“It’s none of your business what she wears.” Susan rolled
her eyes at Mobius and led Abby up the mountain. “Come on, Abby. Let’s go.”
Abby smiled through her tears. “Okay.”
They started uphill, and Pearl walked behind with the brothers. Dustan was the last in the grou
group.
Richard remained silent while hilding. Pearl raised her brows when she noticed this. “Richard, you’re as
stiff as your name.”
He looked at the scenery ahead and ignored her teasing.
Suddenly, Pearl accidentally stepped on a rock and twisted her ankle.
Ww!” she frowned and grabbed her ankle.
Richard looked down and asked, “What’s the matter?”
“I think I twisted my ankle.”
“You can’t walk?”
Pearl broke out in a cold sweat from the pain. Richard saw this and picked her up. Having almost fainte
d from her period pains the
other day, she had felt nothing while in his arms. Now, she could feel his strong heartbeat and smell the
light peppermint fragrance on him,

“Your ankle is swollen, yet you’re still so stubborn.” Richard’s face remained cold as he ignored her obj
ection. “There’s a clinic atop the mountain. We’ll get Hugo to treat your ankle later.”
Pearl snuggled into his arms obediently when she heard this.
Sean saw their interaction. He smiled wickedly. “Rick, I never expected you to care for a woman. Has th

Richard said icily, “Shut up.”
Mobius rolled his eyes. “How pretentious.”
