Chapter 171

“Forget it, I’m not comfortable with letting Ren stay with the Duvals.” She couldn’t help but feel worried when she thought about Julie and Sophia. “I should let Ren stay at my place. At least he wouldn’t get bullied.”“No.” Rickard immediately rejected the idea and looked at Hesper curiously. He hadn’t thought of what to say, so he just tilted his head. “But… mom, I’d be bored at home alone. Just let me come here. I’ll be fine!” Ren tugged at Hesper’s wrist as he hinted at Rickard. That was when Rickard noticed that Renfrew had the ability to change the tides. Hesper only cared about Renfrew’s safety, but it was logical. Renfrew could think for himself, so it would be boring for him to be alone. She was just a vague concept to Renfrew in the past, a mother who didn’t take care of her own child. How could she blame Renfrew for missing her?Hesper started feeling guilty when she thought of that. “Alright then, but you need to be vigilant and remember to disinfect when you ge

Chapter 172

Hesper was recovering and could now get off the bed and walk around. The doctors said that she had a strong body but didn’t know that Hesper was just used to getting treatment because her body had gone through a lot. When she left the Duval Family, she was hurt from head to toe and there were multiple sequelae. Women’s bodies were at their weakest after giving birth, but Hesper was tortured continuously, and there were the side effects of jumping off a building. Even when Matthew asked famous doctors from all over the world for help, her body was never fully healed. “I’ve given you a full body checkup and realized that there’s a metal plate on your knee. Even though you’ve recovered quite well, it must hurt when it rains or when it’s cold.”The doctor looked at the report and didn’t expect her to have so many injuries at her age. “What is more deadly is that this isn’t a long-term solution. When your knee cap gives way to the friction, you might not be able to stand anymore.”

When the doctor told him that Hesper’s leg wouldn’t fully recover, he didn’t feel anything except a little guilt. He never sought help from the best doctor for her. “I’ll find a way to help her.” Life at the hospital was just sleeping, working, and watching something to pass the time. Ever since Hesper became part of the Lane family, she didn’t have much leisure time, so she was getting bored of this. Rickard took half of her room, which made the already small room more claustrophobic. She turned and saw Renfrew playing with his phone, so she turned around and unlocked her phone. Hesper took a design course in college and it was the major she chose because she was interested in it. However, because she was pregnant with Renfrew and subsequently married Rickard, she didn’t manage to graduate and had to drop out. Later when Matthew arranged for her to go study abroad at an Ivy League College, she mentioned her previous education. She did quite well in school. Firstly becaus

Chapter 174

Renfrew was trying to finish the homework that Ms. Myriade left for him. She gave him a lot this time and it was a lot harder than the ones before. He was able to finish the previous ones easily, but this time, he was stuck. Ms. Myriade: The footage that I hacked previously was recovered. If someone remembers this, they’ll investigate it. Ms. Myriade: My identity can’t be exposed, but your parents aren’t people that you can just lie to. I’ll have to let you learn some simple functions so you can hack into surveillance. Someone found out what they did? Renfrew’s chubby face looked so serious. Ms. Myriad helped him a lot, so he can’t let her identity be exposed, or he might not be able to meet her in the future!Ren: I’ll do my best!The three spend the time in silence together. Renee took Renfrew home at night but didn’t look at Rickard in a friendly way. “Safe journey,” Hesper said as she tidied up Renfrew’s collar. “Listen to Aunt Renee and no ice cream tonight.”“Alright

He had crossed the line. Rickard’s hand froze in mid-air, then he took it back. “I’m sorry.” Hesper didn’t speak, so Rickard continued. “I’m fine with sending him to school, but we need to ask Ren if he’s fine with it.”It was fine to ask Ren’s opinion because Hesper respected his opinion. Whether he went or not would be up to him. She wouldn’t make the decision for him even though she was his mother. “Alright, we’ll speak to him tomorrow.”Hesper looked tired, so Rickard didn’t say more. “I’m leaving now, rest well.”The next day when Renfrew got there, Hesper and Rickard brought up the topic. “Do you not want me around anymore?” Renfrew thought that Hesper wanted to send him to boarding school, so he gave her puppy eyes. “I’ll be good. I ate half a scoop of ice cream last night but I won’t do it again. Please don’t send me away!”Hesper was surprised at the confession. She told him to not have more ice cream because the season was changing and he might just catch a cold

Rickard thought she was asking if it was alright. “Alright, we’ll go together then.”Hesper was silent, but seeing how happy Renfrew was and how Rickard already agreed, Renfrew would be devastated if she rejected, so she agreed too. “Alright, but if Mommy or… or Daddy is busy, then we wouldn’t be able to go together.”Renfrew nodded. “Alright, you’re the best! Daddy too, but you’re a little behind.” Hesper laughed and her thin shoulder blades trembled like a butterfly that was ready to take flight. Hesper and Rickard were almost fully recovered. Hesper was very wary of her health, so she would only go home once the doctor said it was fine for her to, but Rickard stayed because he wanted to spend time with her. Benji would tease him every time he sent documents over because when he was more badly injured than this, he didn’t take as much time off. Even when Juniper was with Rickard, his judgment would never be swayed because of relationships, especially when it came to wor

Chapter 177

Ms. Myriade: You can be a normal child… That’s so nice. Renfrew didn’t understand the complicated emotions, but Ms. Myriade seemed to think that going to a nursery was a good idea. “Ren, time to sleep. You’ll be going to the nursery tomorrow.”Hesper finished showering and saw Renfrew’s blushed cheeks. She couldn’t help but give it a kiss, then patted his head while smiling. “You’re a good boy!” Renfrew blushed more and said goodnight to Ms. Myriade, then place his phone down. “Goodnight Mommy!”The next day, Rickard waited outside Hesper’s home on time. He wasn’t in a business suit but rather in sportswear. It looked casual and didn’t seem as though he already had a child as old as Renfrew. Hesper got into the car with the child and saw Rickard in sportswear. She never saw him wearing that before because he was always in a suit that looked so expensive that people just felt distant from him. “You look so young today, Daddy!”Hesper was wearing sportswear too because t

Hesper didn’t know to cry or to laugh. She looked at this man in front of him and felt that she didn’t know him anymore. In his mind, Rickard was a calm and strong man who would be able to solve any problem. He was the symbol of the rise of a business empire because the Duvals peaked under his leadership. However, the man in front of her now was looking at her with childlike eyes, saying something that even high-schoolers wouldn’t say. He didn’t even know what love was, so how could the older Hesper beg for him to stay? “No, I’m not unhappy.”Renee’s car drove over at that moment, so Hesper nodded to him. “You don’t need to come to get me later. I’ll come over when it’s time. I need to go now.”Before Rickard could say anything, she was already in the car. Renee drove away quickly and pretty much didn’t stop longer than needed, as if Rickard was a virus and all she wanted was to get Hesper away as soon as possible. “Don’t worry, he won't do anything to me.”Hesper though

“The building has been refurbished, so it might be different from what you remembered.”The facilities at Genecity University weren’t too bad because they would get new supplies every year, but she never saw them fully refurbish a building. Hesper realized how much the ‘refurbishment’ was when she walked into the building. It was as though everything except the frame of the building was new. Outsiders would think that it was a different school. “I remembered that the Duval Group sponsored to refurbish the art faculty. Other than this building, that one had a facelift too.”Hesper froze in her steps. “Duval Group?”Seeing her reaction, the counselor explained. “I don’t know a lot of details because this doesn’t concern me… But I heard people saying that one of the Duvals studied here.”There wasn’t anyone from the family who studied here. Emotions rose in Hesper’s heart. Did Ernest refurbish the place while she was pregnant so she could be surprised when she resumed her st

The time that was supposed to be for her to get to know the campus turned into a time for Jessie to bring Hesper around while the counselor walked behind them with a box. “Isn’t the paint needed now?” Hesper was used to Jessie’s enthusiasm, but now it was a little too much for her. “Why are you here? To see Professor Jenkins?”Jessie waved her hand. “I stayed to work as a tutor after graduation because my dad says my art is questionable, so I shouldn’t show it to the public.”Hesper was amused. Jessie didn’t want to get into art at first, but Professor Jenkins wanted someone to follow in his footsteps, so he trained her since she was a child to make sure that she did. Maybe because he was too stubborn in the past, but now he could tell that Jessie really wasn’t interested in designing. Even though she had immaculate skills, she had no inspiration. After all, artistic creation requires enthusiasm, and Jessie wasn’t cut out for this, as she herself admitted.The counselor knew h
