Renfrew nodded. “I know, I need to become stronger to protect Mommy!”
Rickard paused, then nodded. “Yes, that’s how you protect Mommy.”
“That’s why everyone around you treats you nice and helps you, giving you some treats. But all these
come at a cost, and it’s nothing compared to what they would get from lying to you.”
Renfrew looked at Rickard for a moment, then nodded.
“But I’m willing to believe her.”
In the corner where they couldn’t see, the light of the phone lit up and went out as if it never happened.
Hesper soon traced the leads back to Sophia, but since the previous doctor was nowhere to be found,
even if all the evidence pointed toward Sophia, they didn’t have enough evidence to prove that Sophia
did anything.
“Are we just going to let her get away?”
Renee wasn’t happy about that. Hesper never thought that Sophia, who had been lying low, would
suddenly attack her.
At the end of the day, what happened didn’t affect her too much. She just randomly fell terribly sick and
had to take time off.
But that plot of land… Hesper wasn’t confident that she could get it anyway. The only downside was
that she wrongly accused Rickard.
Hesper looked down at her design, which was a little off-theme, sighed, then bunched it up and threw it
into the trash. She then started another drawing.
So what if there was some misunderstanding? It was still done by a Duval and they were family. It
wasn’t a wrongful accusation.
Her phone suddenly rang. She picked it up and saw a number she didn’t recognize; she couldn’t figure
out who would be calling her. However, she still took the call.
“It’s me.” Rickard’s voice came from the other side. Hespre frowned and was going to hang up but
heard him say, “Don’t hang up yet. I need to talk to you about Sophia.”
Hesper paused. “I guess you know what happened.” Her throat was still recovering, so her voice still
sounded raspy. “I’ve let her off so many times before this but she doesn’t seem to appreciate the
chances given. There’s no point talking about her. I’ll find evidence and let her explain to the police.”
“But-”
Hesper wanted to hang up again, but there was a disturbance and Renfrew’s voice was heard.
“Mommy, it’s me, Ren!”
Hesper’s heart skipped a beat, as she hadn’t heard his voice in a long time.
“Mommy- Mommy? Did she hang up? There’s no sound…”
Hesper called out to him when she heard that his voice was trailing off.
“Mommy!”
Hearing his voice made Hesper’s eyes well up.NôvelDrama.Org content.
