Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard) novel Chapter 835

Even though Howard's intentions were driven by his concern for his granddaughter, Pearl was grateful for his help in her recovery.

Howard settled beside her, eyeing the bubbling pot of medicine before recalling something. "By the way, judging from what you said, you seem well-versed in medicine?"

Pearl listed off the ingredients fluently, "Draccae, uragano, viseo, esearo, vizeltro, tiforlic, and kelper. With the weather cooling, it's easier to catch a cold. It's best to bundle up." She glanced at Howard's thin shirt, a hint of concern in her expression.

Howard's eyes gleamed with interest. "Draccae herbal soup is just the basic. It's rare that you're familiar with the ingredients at your age. Tell me, were you trained in this?"

Pearl saw no reason to conceal the truth. "Yes, I underwent medical training for two years abroad."

Howard stroked his chin, his curiosity piqued. "Can you tell me who your mentor was?"

"Simon Freeman."

Howard was shocked. "That old man took on a student?"

Given their shared profession, it wasn't surprising they knew each other. Pearl had anticipated this before mentioning Simon's name.

"Yes, I don't know why he insisted on doing that," she replied.

Howard's eyes grew wide. "He voluntarily took you under his wing?"

Secondly, he recognized Pearl's talent and desired to impart his knowledge to someone capable.

Perplexed by the recurring offers to mentor her, Pearl hesitated. "I don't think—"

Howard immediately presented an enticing offer. "If you accept, I'll pass all my medical expertise to you."

Pearl started thinking. The Jesselton family was renowned for treating complex ailments. Perhaps she could even heal her mother…

"Okay, I'll do it."
