Chapter 330
Meanwhile, Hesper had completed her physical examination, confirming that she was now safe and healthy. Hesper was ready to be discharged from the hospital and go home with Renfrew.
There was still no news from Rickard yet, and Hesper had no idea when he would return. If he never did, maybe it’d be for the best. That way, she could continue living with Renfrew for just a while longer.
As she was about to head out, Hesper found herself barricaded at the ward exit by a couple of hackers who worked for the Lanes. They had a glow of excitement in their eyes which Hesper could not comprehend.
“Ms. Lane… the young master is truly talented. Could you leave him with us so we could teach him… ah, no, I mean…” The bunch of men who had been studying scientific principles all their lives were racking their brains for the right words to say. “We just… we’re fond of the young master.” Renfrew looked at the big men in front of him with slight disdain. Hesper could pretty much guess that they were curious about Renfrew because of his genius talent, but she had to respect Renfrew’s opinion.
“I already have a mentor, and she’s got quite a temper. If I suddenly become your mentee, she’ll throw a huge fit.”
Recalling Ms. Myriade’s prideful face, Renfrew had a feeling that if he became a mentee to someone else, she would no doubt be furious at him, so he sternly declined. “I’m really sorry!”
“Ah, you already have a mentor. That makes sense.
“And here I thought you mastered algorithms as a fetus. Turns out someone has been guiding you all along…*Sniffle*.”
The corners of Hesper’s mouth twitched. ‘A fetus mastering algorithms? That’s ridiculous! These tech guys… Sometimes I really don’t understand how their minds work.”
Matthew had completed the discharge procedures for Hesper, while Isaac and Nathaniel had also returned from the outskirts. Watching Renfrew standing there amongst his crowd of worshippers, Hesper seemed a little helpless.
“Stop pestering Hesper and Ren.”
With just a glance, Matthew knew right away that his subordinates had been up to no good again. He marched forward and pulled Hesper away from them. “Pay them no mind. Go on home and rest well, and don’t fret about work. I’ll make sure Renee keeps an eye on you.”
“Alright, I got it.”
Sneakily making a grimace, Hesper glanced down and met Renfrew’s teasing eyes.
Seeing as Hesper and Matthew had finished talking, Nathaniel made his way over. Since he had rushed over in the middle of the night without having proper rest and then followed Isaac to check for traces in the woods this morning, he looked rather haggard.
Hesper had intended to have a word with Nathaniel. When she saw him coming their way, she patted Renfrew on the back and said, “Go play with Uncle Matt for a while. Mommy has something to discuss with Uncle Nathaniel.”
Normally, Renfrew would step away sensibly when he saw that Mommy had matters to attend to, but this time, he clung onto Hesper’s hand and eyed Nathaniel suspiciously.
