Isaac’s voice came from her side but the scaffolding fell quickly. Hesper closed her eyes, but a hand
pulled her aside.
There was a loud noise and the floor shook. A corner of the building roof that was standing
dangerously finally collapsed.
“It’s the aftershock! Move away quickly!”
“Ma’am!”
Isaac wanted to rush over but the people next to him pulled him back as he watched her become
engulfed by the falling building.
“Ma’am-”
The scaffolding fell on her back, but thanks to that hand that pulled her away, she wasn’t hit in the
important parts. She couldn’t speak because of the pain in her back. Isaac’s voice got dimmer and
dimmer outside of the fallen building.
“Are… are you alright? Are you alright?”
The corner of the roof that fell blocked the area in front of Hesper. She raised her head up despite the
pain and realized she was trapped in a tight space that looked like a house. However, only a small
triangular space was left after it caved in.
There was a source of heat close to her that was shaking more than she was and there was a hand This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
that was touching her.
Hesper turned around and saw that it was a woman whose face was covered in dust who saved her.
The woman seemed to be around her age, but her eyes were filled with panic, her eyes darting
around.
She was… mentally disabled?
“I’m fine.”
Hesper’s back was hurting terribly, but seeing how anxious the woman was, she forced herself to calm
down. “Don’t be afraid. It looks like it won’t collapse.”
Maybe it was Hesper’s words or maybe because she noticed that the place was stable, but the woman
calmed down, then leaned on Hesper’s side and started sobbing.
After inhaling a lot of dust, Hesper held back the urge to cough because she was afraid that it would
hurt her back more.
If it this woman hadn’t pulled her away, she might have died. The woman looked like a small animal, so
Hesper held out her hand to hold hers.
“Thanks for helping me. If we do get out, I’ll repay you.
The woman kept her eyes on Hesper, then shook her head. Tears started streaming down her face as
she said, “You… you’re so pretty. I saved you. It’s fine.”
Hesper nodded and closed her eyes and found somewhere to lean against so the muscles on her back
weren’t strained. However, she could feel blood coming out from the wound on her back as if the life
force in her body slowly drained away.
“Someone will come. Don’t be afraid.”
When the girl sat down, Hesper sighed and closed her eyes.
Hesper was confident that Isaac would bring someone over once the aftershock passed. The problem
was she wasn’t sure if she would survive until then.
The moment she closed her eyes, memories flashed past her eyes.
The way Juniper bossed her around, Julie’s troubles, and Sophia’s mocking. All that happened played
back to her like a movie.
Hesper chuckled. Hesper, oh Hesper, you’ve suffered so much injustice and mistreatment but all the
begging that you did and tears that you shed haven’t been repaid. You’ve learned so much yet now

How pathetic.
Then, Rickard popped up in her mind. The man she loved the most, and also the one who hurt her the
deepest.
