Chapter 114
“Let’s go.” Rickard closed his eyes and started calming down.
So what if he couldn’t get out of this? They were no longer a couple.
In the next few days, Hesper was busy with moving. Renee prepared everything for her purchase of a house, then she and Renfrew moved in.
“Yay, we finally have a new home!”
On the first day of moving in, Renfrew ran straight for the twenty feet long couch. There were steps in the living room and a conversation pit was in the middle, so it was comfortable, no matter how you sat.
“Do you like it? I’ve decorated your playroom too.” Hesper smiled and brought Renfrew over. She couldn’t afford this in the past, but now she could, so she would give him everything in the world.
They walked around, and after dinner, Matthew called on the video call.
“Hello, Matthew,” Hesper said after picking up the call.
The man’s voice was heard. “Hesper, how have you been?”
“I’m great.” After having spent a lot of time together, they developed a bond. She turned the phone to Renfrew and introduced them. “Matthew, this is my son. Ren, this is Uncle Matt.”
“Hello, Uncle Matt!” Renfrew didn’t shy away. Mommy’s brother must be a good person. The little boy quickly sang his uncle’s praises.
“Wow, Uncle Matt, you’re so handsome. Even more handsome than my dad! There aren’t a lot of people who are better looking than my dad!”
Matthew didn’t know how to react. Was he supposed to be happy?
Hesper laughed. “Don’t mind him. He’s a sweet boy but he loves to flatter.”
Seeing how happy she was, Matthew’s frown turned around. “Looks like you’re doing quite well in Genecity. I can stop worrying now.”
“By the way, do you want to talk to me about something?” She knew Matthew. He would rarely call unless there was something important.
Matthew said, “Yes, I heard that a lot of doctors went to Genecity to help treat a weird disease that turned someone ugly. I immediately guessed that you must be behind it.”
“Haha, it’s her fault for bullying me.” Hesper smiled. She had never realized how cheerful she was around Matthew.
“Tsk.” Matthew didn’t know what to do, so he just shook his head. “I want to tell you that Professor Miles and lan found a cure. I’ll get someone to send it over if you need it.”
“Really?” Hesper’s eyes shone. She didn’t want to calm the Wights down with the antidote, but she heard that Juniper was offering a huge reward to cure her face. The person who did that would receive $1.5 million dollars.
$1.5 million dollars! There was no reason to turn away that money. She would have other ways to deal with her.
The next day, Hesper received some items sent over by Matthew. A light yellow antidote and a whole set of Legos. Renfrew’s playroom was filled to the brim.
