Chapter 153Chapter 153
He was an outsider observing Rickard and Hesper’s relationship. The Hesper who was meek and pitiful
would probably never have thought that this day would come.
Suddenly, someone came into the office.
“No, I won’t agree to it!”
Julie walked in and grabbed Rickard’s arms.
novelbin“Mom, why are you here?”
When he remembered what Julie did to Hesper, his expression turned cold. They all kept saying that it
was ‘for his own good’ when they got involved in his marriage and bullied his wife. The truth is, they
never respected him.
Julie glared at him but was still fearful of Rickard’s cold expression, so she let him go and pretended to
cry.
“You remember that I’m your mom? Hesper’s life is important but my son’s isn’t?” Julie wiped away her
nonexistent tears and continued. “How could you go to such a dangerous place because of a woman?
Ads by PubFuture Have you thought about your grandpa?”
Rickard’s expression softened when his grandpa was mentioned but he didn’t cancel his plan to go to
Salt City.
“Grandpa loves Hesper, so if I can’t bring her back safely, Grandpa wouldn’t be happy.” Rickard looked at his mother who he never understood and continued. “I remember how you treated
Hesper. I will never believe you.”
Hesper was halfway to the outer district with some supplies when it started raining cats and dogs.
“The rain is getting heavier. I’m afraid we might not get there.”
Isaac worriedly looked out the window. When Hesper departed, she already knew that there could be a
chance for an accident to happen but still went anyway!
“We’ve come all this way, so there’s no point saying that.” Isaac noticed Hesper staring at one spot and
asked, “Is something wrong?”
Hesepr looked back and calmly nodded.
“That car behind us seems to be following us.”
Hesper noticed that car once they left Salt City. There shouldn’t be cars on the road given the weather
Ads by PubFuture and condition. It would be too big of a coincidence if a car just happened to be going in the same
direction as they were.
Hesper leaned against her door. Her wine-red cropped top made her pale skin stand out more like she
was a butterfly in the night.
“I can’t think of anyone who would follow me around when there’s the threat of an aftershock lingering.”
The car was following from a distance. Hesper knocked her knuckles silently while trying to figure out
who would want to attack her at this time.
Wilfred who made her come to Salt City?
He had to watch out for Matthew and Grandpa and would be the biggest suspect, so he wouldn’t be so dumb to attack now.
Then could it be the Duval women… or Juniper?
Juniper must be very cocky after getting her antidote, so it would be logical if she would want to hurt
her.
“We’ll be there in about half an hour and the road in front of us seems to be better. We’ll probably get
there safely.”
The thunder outside went on and on, and the sky looked darker.
“I hope so.” Hesper sighed, then closed her eyes.
