What first arouses chillingworths suspicions that dims dale is pearls father?
Chillingworth's suspicions about Dimmesdale being Pearl's father are first aroused during a conversation where he observes Dimmesdale's physical and emotional reaction to Pearl and Hester.

Additionally, Chillingworth notices the minister's deteriorating health and inner turmoil, which further convinces him that Dimmesdale harbors a secret related to Hester and Pearl.
Foreshadowing The Scarlet Letter?
One example of foreshadowing is when Chillingworth is talking to Hester in the dungeon. He keeps saying "He will be known! He will be known! He will be known!" Here, Chillingworth is talking about how he will find out who the father of Hester's child is, as this is the man who wronged both Chillingworth and Hester. Another example is some of the scaffold scenes. In the second scaffold scene, which takes place at night, Dimmesdale, Hester, and Pearl stand on the scaffold together holding hands. Pearl asks Dimmesdale if they will stand on the scaffold together the next day, in which Dimmesdale replies that they will another day, but not tomorrow. This foreshadows the last scaffold scene, where Dimmesdale calls Hester and Pearl to the scaffold during the Election Procession.

She also had to stand upon the town's pillory the first day out of jail so everyone would know who she was. Hester also had a child by this adultery escapade, and her name was Pearl. Pearl helped her through with her deals of being an adulteress, but Hester often thought of her as someone else's child. Meanwhile, Dimmesdale is tortered mentally because Hester will not say who she commited adultery with and Dimmesdale will not come out and say it himself. Hester's husband came to her while she was in jail and spoke with her. He made her promise that she would not say that she was his wife, and he changed his name to Robert Chillingworth. During the story, Chillingworth tries to find out who she commited adultery with so he can take revenge. Eventually, Dimmesdale becomes so sick, Chillingworth takes him in and takes care of him. (Chillingworth is the town's doctor) He suspects that the town reverend is the one guilty of this crime, but is careful about what he does about it.

Dimmesdale's health became better and Hester continued with her plans. When the time came, Dimmesdale gave a sermon to the town, which the town considered to be his best.

However, Dimmesdale also reveals his crime to the town and falls to the ground, ill. Pearl and Hester rush to see him, and Pearl finally gets to kiss her father.
