Chapter 1267

Pearl beamed, then closed the door while deep in thought. After she came out of the bathroom, Tanner placed a glass of warm water on the table and left the bedroom.

She sat on the bed and looked at the glass of water. She couldn't help but sense the irony as she took the glass and lay back down.

When she woke up again, it was already afternoon. She felt better, and the heaviness lifted too.

She walked out of the room and sighed in relief when she didn’t see Tanner around. She made some spaghetti in the kitchen, and since Tanner had taken her phone and there were guards outside, she hadn’t been able to speak to her family in more than a month. Even if she went out, he had to agree to it first, and someone would follow her.

She lived in torture and faced nothing other than pain. The only time she could relax was when he wasn’t around.

However, he returned very soon and saw that she was making food. He walked over. “Is your fever gone?”

Pearl nodded. “Yes.”

He loosened his tie.
