Chapter 1573

Author: Oopsie Daisy
Christopher was quite different from others in many ways because he did not look like a villain at all. Hesper often found it surprising. In fact, until now, Hesper still could not understand why Christopher chose to play such a role.

"Since you know everything, why haven't you dealt with Chelsea? Are you intentionally keeping her so that she could tell me everything?" Hesper said. "Since you brought me here, let's talk."

Hesper pulled a chair and sat before Christopher, her gaze piercing. "First, you took away my child and Sherese, and now you deliberately lured me here to find you. What do you want?"

Standing against the light, Christopher said, "Do you know Asher?"

Hesper furrowed her brows. How could there be a connection with Asher again? What happened with Asher back then? Considering their ages, Christopher was just a young man then.

"I can only say that what you see now, the so-called truth, is just the tip of the iceberg," Christopher said calmly, "There are many things

    The situation at the Turner Manor was chaotic, and Rickard quickly received the news. Upon hearing that Hesper might have killed Christopher, everyone found it difficult to believe.After all, even though Hesper had lost her memory and been raised by Charles into the cold-blooded "Hestia," she had never killed anyone, nor had she ever harbored the thought of killing. Even in her angriest moments, Hesper would never resort to killing Christopher.Rickard guessed that something unexpected must have happened. He could not reach Hesper, so he decided to go to the hospital where Christopher was being treated to assess the situation.Upon arriving at the hospital, they learned Christopher was still undergoing resuscitation."Where is Hesper?"Rickard walked to Liam. Liam looked at Rickard with a complicated expression. In truth, he did not believe that Hesper would do such a thing, but the current circumstances were undeniable. Wanting to defend Hesper seemed somewhat forced.After all

    The surgery continued until late at night. When Liam saw the lights in the operating room go out, he stood up and walked to the door, where he saw Hesper walking out."His condition has stabilized now. The blade's position deviated and didn't hit the most lethal spot."Hesper's expression was devoid of emotion, as it had been a long day. First, Renfrew had gone missing, followed by Christopher's sudden and unforeseen action that caused Hesper to undergo surgery throughout the night. Upon hearing that Christopher's condition had stabilized, Liam finally breathed a sigh of relief. However, Hesper seemed to have lost her balance when she entered the light. When she was about to collapse, someone suddenly appeared behind her and supported her."You're here." Hesper rubbed her eyes. It was easy to lose track of time inside the operating room. However, now, with a clearer mind, she realized that Rickard would surely learn about it since it was such a significant incident.She did not

    Seeing Renfrew and Sherese, Hesper's emotions, which had been tense throughout the day, finally relaxed. Tears welled up in Renfrew's eyes as he approached Hesper, grabbing her hand. Hesper lowered her head and lifted Renfrew into her arms."Mommy!" Tears filled Renfrew's eyes, and Hesper guessed that her complexion might not look good, for she could see the worry in Renfrew's eyes. Hesper reached out and ruffled Renfrew's hair. "I'm fine. As long as you're fine, everything is fine."Renfrew had been kidnapped before, and now he was much calmer. Moreover, this time, he had his aunt with him. Although he could barely fight back, Renfrew knew that his parents would come to rescue him, so he never felt worried. All he needed to do was wait for Hesper patiently.Hesper felt much more relieved after learning that Renfrew was not scared. Renfrew had experienced many things since birth."Alright, you should rest well now," Rickard said. Hesper was exhausted after experiencing so much toda

    If it was really as Hesper described, Liam could almost imagine the scene back then, but at the same time, his hands were trembling. He could not fathom how his well-raised younger brother had ended up in such a situation.After leaving the hospital, Hesper remembered her promise to persuade Yale.*She remembered that Yale's residence was not far from here. Hesper sent him a message saying she was coming, and Yale eagerly agreed. In just five minutes, she arrived at Yale's place.It surprised Hesper, considering this location was relatively prosperous in Verdon City. She had not expected Yale, who had been down and out for so long, to still have a property here.Seemingly aware of Hesper's thoughts, Yale looked embarrassed and said, "This house was compensated to me by the higher-ups. It's the only thing I took from all the compensations."Upon hearing this, Hesper could not help but click her tongue. After all, the value of this house was not insignificant. The Fashion Designer

    This would make it even more convenient for the association president's daughter to get close to Yale. Hesper chuckled. Yale looked embarrassed and sighed, "I don't know what she sees in me. Since I've promised to be a designer for your studio, I don't want to go back on my word."After a moment of silence, Hesper looked at Yale and said, "I can't force you to work for my studio; it depends on what you want. I'll never pressure you on this. Although I want you to become a designer for my studio, I won't hinder you from having better opportunities."Looking into Hesper's sincere eyes, Yale nodded. "Don't worry. I've already made up my mind. Everything I decide from now on, I won't regret."Hesper nodded in agreement. Although she was certain that Yale would have excellent opportunities in her studio and that she would never mistreat him, she just hoped that he would not suddenly regret this decision in the future. Even if he did regret it in the future, she would not stop him fro

    Hesper was relieved. The fact that the young man could integrate into society normally, without solely relying on her, was much more challenging.Things were progressing in a positive direction."He seems to have experienced some sort of trauma. He instinctively resists whenever we tentatively bring it up and becomes very distressed. It doesn't seem like a pretense. It's a natural reaction."Hesper frowned, but she understood that such matters could not be rushed. The young man had already transformed significantly in such a short time. Having experienced such trauma at a young age and having had no choice even as he grew older, all Hesper could do was ensure that the young man would not shed tears of sadness again and relive nightmares in his world."With the current development, he should fully recover within half a year."Hesper and Rickard exchanged a glance. Though half a year might sound lengthy, it would pass quickly. In just half a year, all the truths surrounding these ev

    When would the cycle of revenge end? Cheney's actions would undoubtedly leave some survivors harboring resentment against her. When this happened, they would come looking for her for revenge.It was a repetitive cycle with almost no meaning.However, what happened had happened. Hesper knows that she could not save everyone even with advanced medical skills. She was just an ordinary person with a bit of ability.Taking a deep breath, Hesper calmed herself down. Upon arriving home, they ran into Sherese on her way out. Hesper looked at her with some confusion. Since the recent kidnapping, she always felt Sherese was acting strangely, but she could not pinpoint what was odd.In the end, it was just that too much had happened recently, and they simply had not had the time to focus on Sherese."Where are you going?" Hesper asked.Sherese seemed a bit shocked, then she shook her head. "I found a job outside. There's just too much going on here. When I'm free, I'm always lost in my th

    Meanwhile, after a week-long slumber, Christopher finally awoke, unable to believe he was awake.Hesper rushed over upon receiving Liam's call, and Rickard, who was occupied with other tasks, rushed over as well."We need to run some tests, but he's definitely conscious now."Liam leaned against the wall, waiting all day for Christopher to awaken. He couldn't decide whether to feel glad or anxious, given all that had transpired.After Christopher's check-up, he was wheeled back to his room. He noticed Rickard and Hesper sitting there, with Hesper staring at him, and he sighed."You never thought you would see me again, did you?"Hesper regarded Christopher with a half-smile and cold eyes. "Christopher, that was some impressive calculation. If your knife hadn't missed the mark, I might never have been able to clear my name."So, it was due to the knife going off target. Regardless of how well he had planned, he hadn't considered that his own mistake had caused the failure. Now th

    He had never anticipated that he would end up loving her so deeply.It could be said that amidst all the misunderstandings and complexities, their journey together had taken many winding paths."I wouldn't risk getting into trouble just to set off fireworks for someone I didn't even like," Rickard said, his voice gentle. "You dummy."His words were soft, but as Hesper listened to his explanation, she cleared her throat, and her eyes turned bloodshot. She had never imagined that the person she had loved so intensely in her youth had, at some point in their lives, secretly admired her.Hesper attempted to smile but ended up with teary eyes. Seeing this, Rickard reached out and affectionately ruffled her hair. "If it's going to make you cry, I won't say anything more."Hesper pursed her lips. "If you don't want to talk about it, then don't."Rickard, despite understanding her reluctance, couldn't help but reflect on the past and openly admitted to the emotions he had felt in his you

    They were flooded with memories, and Hesper couldn't help but admit that she had been through so much with Rickard. Her eyes welled up with emotion.The livestream ended, as they couldn't maintain constant surveillance of their lives. Even though they hadn't gone home yet, the crew had left.In the past two days, people had gotten to know them quite well, so the crew decided to give them some alone time.Hesper sat in the passenger seat and stole a glance at Rickard. She couldn't help but say, "I never expected that the only time you were seen as making a mistake in Grandpa's eyes was because of me.""There are many things you don't know," he replied. Hesper raised an eyebrow and asked, "Like what? Tell me."Suddenly, Hesper recalled the countless times Rickard had looked at her. Yet, during those moments, Rickard had always had feelings for Juniper. She knew that was the reality, so she never expected that Rickard might have had the same strong feelings for her as she had for h

    Hesper glanced at Rickard, who remained emotionless, but she still reached out to hold his hand.[This is tough to see. Both of Rickard's parents are no longer here… Sigh.][Hesper immediately checked on Rickard. If I were Rickard, I'd love her so much.]Ernest shook his head and remained silent as he flipped to the next page. Most of the pictures were of Hesper after that. She hadn't realized she had so many childhood photos. Julian appeared in some of them, too.Before everything went sour.Rickard didn't have many pictures. As he grew older, he became quieter.Most of them showed Hesper standing next to Julian, but there was something off about them.[Did you notice... In many of those pictures, Hesper was looking at Rickard, and in others, Rickard was looking at her.][Oh my god, is this puppy love? I had no idea!][I remember Rickard had another lover.]Hesper had noticed, too, but there was no need to remind people that Rickard used to hate her, so she dismissed it as a

    Hesper and Rickard entered the room and awkwardly informed Ernest that everything had been live-streamed just now. Ernest was shocked, but upon hearing that it was something people do, he nodded."It's fine. There's nothing that others can't hear."Hesper pursed her lips and glanced at Rickard before saying, "We didn't expect the Summers to come and see you. You should move in with us so these people will leave you alone."If Ernest lived with them, no one would dare intrude because they represented power and influence.Who would dare challenge them?"I don't want to get involved in your life. Renfew and Renarie would keep you occupied enough."Hesper understood that he had already made up his mind not to live with them, so she didn't press the matter further.She could understand his concerns, as many things might become inconvenient. Besides, Ernest didn't want to disrupt their lives either."We'll be heading to Fredonia soon, so even though we have filming to do, we wanted t

    So what if the cameras were still recording?"Was my son's life not as valuable as your son's?"If he had grasped this earlier, recent events might not have unfolded. Jade had a point.The live chat fell silent. Though they lacked the full backstory, they could deduce what had transpired in the past.[I heard Rickard lost his parents when he was a child. I feel sorry for him.][His parents died because of that incident. It's no surprise if he harbors resentment.][Truthfully, this old man has no shame. If my child were responsible for another child's death, I'd beg for forgiveness.]Everything unfolding before their eyes was purely coincidental, and no one had control over the situation. They could only watch and terminate the livestream immediately if anything escalated.Fortunately, Jade received a stern talking-to and refrained from discussing the matter further, but Mrs. Summers did not fare as well. Hesper and the others bore witness to her irrational behavior.[This is e

    "We've known each other for years, Ernest. I saved your life once, and now your descendants want to take my son's life!"As they approached, Jade Summers was angrily berating Ernest before him. Hesper's countenance immediately turned frosty as she walked over to Ernest."You should conduct yourself more appropriately, Mr. Summers Sr."Jade was taken aback to see Hesper, but he composed himself, took a deep breath, and fixed her with a hatred-filled gaze."If it weren't for you, none of this would have happened. You're just a woman. Since when do you get a say in the Duval family matters?"In the 21st century, people were all for equality. Besides, Hesper was no ordinary or unintelligent woman. Naturally, she had a voice in these matters.The viewers were inundated with comments when they heard Jade's words, and the live chat exploded.[Who is this guy? He looks old but lacks respect.][What's the argument about?][I sense some drama.]Rickard walked over. Jade had thought he

    [Didn't Hesper mention that Mr. Duval Sr. took care of her? Maybe she did grow up well.][I'm certain she did. Hesper doesn't strike me as someone who would tolerate mistreatment.]Hesper and Rickard were under constant surveillance throughout the journey, and they hadn't allowed Benji to accompany them. Rickard was behind the wheel, with Hesper in the passenger seat.During the drive, they remained silent, but to observers, it appeared as though they were in harmony.Upon arriving at the ancestral mansion, Hesper noticed other cars parked around and cast a curious glance at Rickard. Visitors to Ernest's home were a rarity."Sir, Ma'am, you're back," a young housekeeper greeted them. It was the same person who had assisted Wendy earlier, but they couldn't recall her name. Nevertheless, Hesper had faith in her.Noticing the housekeeper's troubled demeanor, Hesper deduced that the guest inside was likely unwelcome. However, she couldn't fathom who would disrupt Ernest's life. Given

    Rickard noticed something in Hesper's expression, prompting him to ask, "Is there something else you haven't told me?"Being intimately familiar with each other wasn't always without its challenges. Hesper could never conceal anything from him.She sighed and replied, "It's nothing. Just that Pennleigh will also be on the list."Rickard fell silent.Hesper was aware that sometimes Rickard might not appear bothered, but Pennleigh's presence did bother him.Observing Hesper's awkward expression, Rickard lowered his gaze and suddenly took on a pitiful appearance, like a big dog caught in the rain.Yet, she knew he was merely putting on an act. Still, every time she saw him like that, she couldn't help but miss the Rickard who didn't engage in such playful antics. His character had undergone a change.Hesper found it amusing but didn't quite know how to express it. She sighed and added, "It's a fantastic opportunity. I know you'll let me go, right?"Rickard had no intention of inte

    "Sullivan lied to her. He had her parents quietly killed. She found out after she turned her back on you."Benji lowered his gaze. "She was already dead when you came back. It was suicide."The conclusion lacked the weight necessary for such a betrayal. Hesper shut her eyes. The person she had trusted most was Renee. They had shared countless years together.Hesper acknowledged that their bond might not have been a genuine friendship. Renee had abandoned her when given the choice.However, Hesper had faced such situations before.Thankfully, there had been someone who had placed her first in their heart, reassuring her that she wasn't always relegated to being an option. Hesper stood in silence for a while before simply nodding.There was nothing she could do to aid Renee now. Renee had entered and departed alone, leaving no trace behind with Hesper.When the topic was broached, it weighed heavily on her heart. Hesper understood the situation but found herself at a loss for word
