Chapter 1771

Hesper meticulously calculated the time. Rickard had already departed for Fredonia when she woke up, and if he had boarded the private plane, he would likely arrive in Fredonia in another two or three hours.Upon landing, Rickard would undoubtedly catch wind of the news and make an immediate return. Hence, the 24-hour timeframe should be more than sufficient for their plan to unfold.The cure's efficacy had been validated by Professor Miles, increasing the likelihood of success. Therefore, as long as Hesper could maintain control over Victor until then, their predicament would be resolved.Contemplating the timeline and the absence of any potential obstacles, Hesper finally exhaled a sigh of relief.She exchanged a knowing glance with Benji, confident that he also grasped the pivotal role Rickard played in this scenario. While they were all ensnared in this situation, Rickard remained the most unpredictable variable.As the 24-hour mark drew nearer, Victor would inevitably grow in

Cheney averted her gaze, refusing to meet Vivienne's eyes as she struggled to contain her emotions. Hesper could sense Cheney's patience wearing thin, mirroring Vivienne's dwindling chances of survival in this dire situation.The culmination of events was drawing near, and Hesper fervently prayed for Rickard's swift arrival. She recognized that those guarding this place were motivated solely by their desire for the cure, with Vivienne's well-being being a matter of concern only to Cheney.A pang of guilt gnawed at Hesper, though it didn't equate to choosing the right course of action. She knew that when the time came to make a critical decision, she couldn't confidently assert that she would prioritize Vivienne above all else.Cheney was the one person who would make that unwavering choice.Vivienne herself understood that she constituted Cheney's sole vulnerability. Without her presence, Cheney would not have regained her composure earlier. Consequently, she made a seemingly resol

Hesper couldn't be certain whether Vivienne comprehended the Holmes code, but she communicated quickly through a series of winks, conveying the dwindling time—only half an hour remained.In response to the winks, Vivienne nodded, demonstrating her understanding.The arrival of Rickard would bring added security and protection. It wasn't that Hesper lacked trust in the capabilities of those outside; rather, she doubted the value they aimed to save.The higher-ups coveted only the cure, while Cheney's group sought to rescue Vivienne. If they took action, both parties might fail to safeguard their respective interests.Hesper didn't want to witness Vivienne facing graver troubles or encounter mishaps with the cure. Thus, they needed to seize control of the situation themselves.As half an hour elapsed, the collective gaze of the group rested on Hesper. Even she harbored uncertainties, especially since Rickard had not precisely disclosed his location earlier.She couldn't be certain

Upon hearing Hesper's advice, Victor chuckled and said, "Stop acting like you're coaxing a child here. The mistakes I've made would lead to certain death even if I don't press this button now."Victor stared calmly at everyone, but a glint of madness danced in his eyes. "So why don't you all come and join me in death?"Hesper's expression turned cold at Victor's threat. "What do you mean by 'we'll all join you in death'?"Based on the information they had, the explosives Victor had planted were only enough to destroy the laboratory. However, his tone suggested otherwise.Victor giggled and continued, "It's exactly what it seems, quite literal."Hearing Victor's words, Hesper clenched her fists. She had suspected and expected this outcome. Now, it appeared that all her previous assumptions were correct.Hesper's expression darkened, and Victor burst into laughter. "It would've been nice to wait for the result in peace. In that case, perhaps I could've spared your lives. However, s

With the situation on their end resolved, Hesper finally breathed a sigh of relief. Cheney had already taken Vivienne to receive treatment.Vivienne's condition was extremely complex, and upon her admission to the hospital, she was immediately placed in the intensive care unit. The cure had been administered, and Professor Miles was also attending to her. Only then did Hesper feel confident enough to handle the aftermath on their side.If Vivienne's condition were to deteriorate, not only would Cheney be devastated, but Hesper would also carry a deep sense of guilt.She recalled the moment when she had rescued Vivienne from the laboratory, vividly remembering how weak and labored Vivienne's breathing had been. Yet, even in that state, Vivienne had instinctively tried to comfort Cheney. It was then that Hesper realized she had never truly understood Vivienne.Taking a deep breath and seeing that everything on their end was now under control, Hesper said, "I want to go to the hospita

Without any unexpected circumstances, even if the wound were to heal, a scar would still likely be left on her arm. A scar nearly 15 centimeters long on the arm was akin to a disfigurement for a lady.Cheney sat on the bench, appearing somewhat despondent. Since their initial encounter, Hesper had never seen Cheney in such a disheveled state."Victor has been captured and taken back to prison. An urgent order has also been issued for his execution next week," Hesper informed Cheney.Cheney nodded, but her reaction seemed detached as if she had completely pushed aside the matter involving the hallucinogenic drug.Hesper recalled the day when she had met Vivienne, who had insisted that only she could be the test subject for the cure. Now, Hesper understood the reasoning behind Vivienne's assertion.Had Hesper chosen someone else as the test subject, Cheney would likely have remained lost in her delusion, even after witnessing Victor's erratic behavior. She would have clung to the ho

Archie shook his head, but he quickly realized that his response might have painted the person inside as malicious, so he muttered, "The person inside is my grandfather."Hesper was taken aback.'Okay, it makes sense for him to be cautious about his grandfather.'With a sense of resignation, Hesper entered the courtyard alone, having already anticipated the nature of today's discussion.The entire courtyard was adorned with private rooms. As Hesper proceeded toward the designated room, she noticed the tranquil and elegant decor. She couldn't help but think that owning a mansion like this when she grew older would be delightful."Ms. Rivera." An energetic elderly man emerged from the private room at that moment.In response to the unexpected greeting, Hesper raised her head and saw the elderly man before her. She nodded and said, "Hello, Master Camden. I believe this is our first meeting. It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance."Aiden observed Hesper closely. Her demeanor sugg

They all recognized that destruction tended to follow greatness, but they had limited options.As Hesper wore a somewhat pitiful expression, Aiden also perceived that Rickard and Hesper simply sought a stable life in this country.After a sigh, Aiden shifted the conversation. "Regarding Zaylour Lestrange..."Hesper had nearly forgotten about him.True, Zaylour had a history of committing crimes when he was younger, mostly due to the difficult circumstances he faced in Fredonia and his time working under Charles. It was a perilous period where his actions had been a matter of survival. Fortunately, Zaylour had a scapegoat, Yves, who had taken the blame for many of his deeds. Furthermore, the two of them bore a striking resemblance, with the only distinguishing feature being their facial scars, which could easily be manipulated."Zaylour is a law-abiding citizen," Hesper said earnestly, locking eyes with Aiden. "Feel free to investigate him. Officer Dubois had detained him earlier w

Not all decisions could be made by a single individual; even Aiden was here solely as a representative of the higher-ups. He was not the ultimate decision-maker, but it was evident that he was leaning in their favor, or he wouldn't have adopted such an attitude.Having someone in their corner was already a significant advantage."Have Ben pay us a visit in the future." Aiden suddenly gazed into the distance as if recalling memories. After a moment, he sighed and shook his head. "That kid, he can be quite stubborn."Hesper looked at Aiden, realizing that Benjamin was still regarded as a sensible and capable young man among the older generation. When the accident occurred, many found it hard to believe, but now that the truth had come to light, emotions were even more complex."I heard your last encounter with him didn't end well," Aiden said, not delving too deeply into her family matters. He understood the sacrifices Benjamin had made for the hallucinogenic drug. Hesper had been se

It was likely because Vivienne had been accustomed to following Cheney's arrangements, and Cheney had always handled everything for her. That's why Hesper felt that Vivienne had appeared somewhat lifeless back then. The only exception was her inexplicable and deep affection for Matthew, which had given her a somewhat livelier image. But the current Vivienne was different from how Hesper remembered her.This time, Matthew happened to accompany Hesper to the hospital. When Hesper turned around, she realized that Vivienne was not stunned because of her but because of Matthew.However, Hesper didn't want to make things difficult for Matthew when he wasn't interested in Vivienne.So, she turned around and suggested, "Matt, can you wait for me out here? There are some things I want to discuss with Vivienne."Matthew understood Hesper's intention and nodded. "Sure, go ahead. Just give me a call if you need anything."Hesper chuckled and teased, "Why are you all so nervous all the time? N
