Chapter 329
“Matt.”
Hesper interrupted him and stared calmly into Matthew’s eyes.
“You know very well that I’m not the type to obsess about love. I’m simply doing what must be done.”
Since he could not get through to her, Matthew decided to stop confronting her about the subject. No matter how many times he tried to persuade her, it was still Hesper’s decision. Even if he were to go on and on about it, it would be pointless.
“Rickard sent his men to look for you throughout Genecity last night as well. What you wish to accomplish may just come true soon enough.” Matthew turned around. “I know I can’t convince you, Hesper. Our time is brief, and so are our lives. I just want to see you spend each day happily.”
Without giving Hesper time to respond, Matthew walked out of the ward.
Meanwhile, Rickard’s flight had just landed.
Myriade followed behind Rickard. She had no luggage with her. All she carried on her was one backpack that consisted of lollipops, a laptop, and her ID. Nothing else, not even a winter coat. When Benji received a call from Rickard asking him to purchase children’s clothes, he was a little puzzled, until he saw the girl next to Rickard at the airport.
“Mr. Duval, did you bring your illegitimate daughter on a business trip?”
Rickard gave Benji a cold glare, making him immediately shut up.
After getting off the plane, Rickard received news that Hesper had been found safe. Thinking about it, it happened not long after the girl beside him informed him.
Although he could not be certain that it had anything to do with her, Rickard was not letting her get away that easily.
Even if she had not helped Daybreak, she was still one of their members, and maybe she could help him find that mysterious doctor.
Myriade put on the down jacket that Benji had just bought. As she sat in the car, her curious eyes took in all the glory of Halwanest. Her mother was from Halwanest; although she had been living on the grounds of Daybreak for as long as she could remember, her yearning for this place was incomparable.
“Do you know anyone here?”
Hearing Rickard’s words, Myriade looked at him and nodded. “I know Renfrew.”
An absurd idea emerged in Rickard’s mind which somehow clicked.
“Are you the friend whose name Renfrew could never mention?”
Myriade remained silent-which was something Rickard had gotten familiar with by now. She was
the same when they were on the plane. If it were something she was allowed to talk about, the girl would ramble on endlessly.
Yet when it came to certain questions, not a single word came out of her.
