Chapter 156
Hesper already decided to give up on this man when her heart went cold in the past, but she didn’t
know why the moment pained hit her. Her mind kept going back to him.
She remembered how he changed his arrogant gaze at the aquarium like he was looking at her as an
equal and was gentle as if protecting a flower in the wind.
“Hesper, give me another chance to make it up to you.
Hesper’s tears started falling like pearls from a necklace that snapped. The woman next to her
frantically wiped her tears away. The noises outside faded away and Hesper cried there in silence.
Hesper didn’t have a lot of time left to go down memory lane. She couldn’t repay Matthew for what he
did for her, so she tried her best to quickly get into her role as Ms. Lane and start helping with
managing the company.
All these memories that she had suppressed came back out.
The first time she saw Rickard was when Hesper was brought out from the orphanage by Ernest.
The government-run orphanage wasn’t a great place but it wasn’t terrible either. Hesper never tried to
fight for anything, so she didn’t stand out.
What did Rickard look like then?
All his peers would probably take second glances at him, in a white shirt and standing straight in front
of grandpa as his eyes fell on her.
How he looked at her was like a dream, making her fall for him for the next ten years.
“Hesper… Hesper?”
“Wake up, Hesper!”
Hesper frowned when she heard a familiar voice, then slowly opened her eyes.
“Hesper?”
The dust danced around behind the person and Hesper felt as if someone was holding her back with
an arm behind her neck. Her eyes were still adjusting as she saw a pair of dreamy eyes.
“Don’t fall asleep. Look at me, Hesper.”
Hesper put in more effort to open her eyes after hearing the familiar voice, but the pain behind her
back.
had lessened.
…I don’t want to listen to you. You’re a bad person..
Rickard looked at Hesper who had her eyes closed. The scene from three years ago suddenly popped
up in his mind. Hesper had her eyes closed just like this and was covered in blood.
That was when he suddenly realized that the pity he gave her was more like charity and emotions that
he didn’t make clear. It must have been painful and torturous for Hesper.
When her life was in danger, she still protected the people who hurt her. Even when a story that was
filled with holes was presented to him, he still refused to believe her. The woman that was always NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.
behind him was dead.
How could he possibly ask her for another chance?
The woman in his arms opened her eyes and her tears soaked up the front of his shirt. However, there
was no time to think. Rickard supported her with his knee as he carefully hugged her.
The aftershock wasn’t completely over yet, but he found her. It didn’t mean they were out of the woods
yet.
“No, don’t move her!”
The woman who was next to her saw that Rickard was trying to carry her. She didn’t dare speak and
was hiding in the corner at first, but she couldn’t stand it anymore so she came over and shoved him.
The push made the man stagger and grab harder onto Hesper’s hand.
