In FE the second rhythmic group in the L.H. part is provided neither with a slur nor with a wedge, which is either the engraver's oversight or Chopin's inadvertence.

According to us, in the discussed case, holding the pedal pressed to the end results in a very good sound effect; alternatively, the pedal can be gradually released throughout bar 31 to be pressed again (optionally) in bar 32.
