Chapter 158
Her eyes went to the last message which made Hesper feel like something in her heart broke.
She placed her phone back on the table and closed her eyes, trying to delete everything from her mind.
The pain was seared into her memories, but what was a few messages and phone calls compared to
that?
She must not repeat her mistakes.
The doctors gave her a full checkup. It had been three days and her body had mostly recovered. As
long as she didn’t do anything too drastic, there wouldn’t be any issues.
Hesper listened to Matthew chew her ears off. She wasn’t very responsible for going to Salt City just
because Wilfred provoked her.
“As long as Wilfred is still at Emperion, I’ll keep pressuring him, so it’s not something you need to worry
about, and it shouldn’t be an excuse for you to make such a decision like that.”
When Matthew found out she was hurt and went into a coma, he hadn’t rested well for a few days and
his voice was hoarse. “If you do this again, at least tell me first before you do anything.”
No like this time… Just disappearing without a word. He had already lost a sister.
“I’m your brother, you can count on me.”
After hearing Matthew’s words, Hesper’s heart felt warm and she agreed.
“I know, Matt, I won’t do it again.”
Hesper felt love from a family when she was around Matthew and oftentimes wished that she was
actually his sister.
However, she would also feel guilty. The real Ms. Lane was still somewhere in the world, yet she took
her identity and enjoyed the love of her brother and family.
“I’ll go spend time with you once I get my work done.” Matthew wasn’t good at expressing his love, so
he always sounded apathetic. “It should be by noon tomorrow. Rest well. I haven’t told grandpa that
you were injured. He prepared a lot of great food when he found out that I’ll be going over, so I’ll be
bringing
those over too.”
“Alright!”
No matter what happened, Hesper dealt with what happened in Salt City very well and the share prices
rose by a few points. Wilfred couldn’t say anything, so he fell quiet and pretended to be dead.
The doctor didn’t let Hesper work too much, so most of the documents were still untouched.
Hesper realized that her life was her biggest asset, so if she lost it, there was no way she could turn her
dream into reality.
She was putting too much stress on herself.
She intentionally ignored Rickard and finished up her work in the afternoon. When she looked up again,
it was already evening.
“Are you hungry? The doctor said you can have some liquid food.”
Hesper shook her head and hesitated, then asked, “How’s Rickard?”
Isaac thought that she didn’t really care about him because she only mentioned him when she woke up
and didn’t bring him up after that. He didn’t expect her to suddenly remember.
“As your subordinate, I didn’t want to tell you, but I think I should.”
He went back three days ago.
When Rickard fell to the ground with Hesper still in his arms, everyone rushed over and saw that he
was still protecting her. Even when he fell, Hesper was not hurt. NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
