Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl

Chapter 1247

Blake and Rosalie returned to their spot, relieved to find their luggage was still there. Blake helped load it into the car, and they drove off to the outskirts.

As they sat in the car, Blake noticed Rosalie shivering and turned on the heat.

"Where did you get this car from, Blake?" Rosalie asked. She knew the neighborhood was on lockdown, so how did he manage to get it?

"Don't worry about it." Blake tried to dodge the question, but Rosalie persisted, leaving him somewhat frustrated. "Trust me, everything's fine. You don't have to worry about it."

"If everything's fine, then why won't you tell me?" Rosalie insisted, staring at him intently.

"It's nothing, I just..."

"Just what?"

"I just drove the car out."Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

Rosalie's mind raced as she recalled the signs of a crash on the car's front. "Are you out of your mind?"

She was almost livid. Although she knew Blake had always been bold, she hadn't expected him to be so reckless.

Seeing Rosalie about to get really angry, Blake quickly looked like someone had treated him unfairly. "I just wanted us to get there faster..'

Rosalie couldn't stay mad. "Did you get hurt?"

"Of course not. Do you still not trust me?" Blake replied, blinking.

Rosalie nodded. 'In that case, I'm relieved. But promise me, don't do something like that anymore, okay?" Blake saw her serious face and felt happy inside. He nodded to make her feel better. "Don't worry, I won't." Rosalie's aunt's place was in a secluded suburb with hardly anyone around, that was why Rosalie was so worried. If something happened to her aunt while she was alone at home, an ambulance might not even get there in time.

When Rosalie walked in, her aunt was sitting on the couch, breathing hard. Her face was red, and she looked like she had a very high fever.

Her aunt's expression changed when she saw Rosalie. "Why are you here?"

Rosalie moved closer, but her aunt covered her mouth and took a few steps back. "Stay away! I'm infected now! I don't want you to catch it!"

"Don't worry. It's okay even if I get infected."

Her aunt looked upset. "You silly girl. What are you saying? This disease is no joke!"

"I know, I-"

"Go back and don't come here again!" Her aunt could hardly speak before she began to gasp for air, almost collapsing

Seeing her aunt struggle, Rosalie started to cry. "Please stop talking. I'm not leaving."

Blake quickly interjected. "We went through a lot of trouble to come here, please let us stay."

Only then did her aunt notice a man standing beside Rosalie. 'Who's this?" she asked, confused.

Wiping away her tears, Rosalie hesitated. "He's-"

Blake quickly stepped forward. 'Nice to meet you, Evelyn. I'm Rosalie's boyfriend."
