Chapter 356
Before escaping the scene, Myriade gazed at Renfrew for the last time, but her sight was blurred by the tears in her eyes.
“Okay, don’t think about it any longer.” The young man draped his overcoat on the blood-stained Myriade. “You’ve come this far, haven’t you? There’s no turning back now. Just remember that you and the mother and son aren’t the same kind of people.”
Myriade was holding a box that fell from Roberto’s hand, and the helicopter hovering in the sky descended. The man then boarded the helicopter with Myriade, and the ground shrank little by little in her eyes.
With trembling hands, Myriade opened the gift box in front of her, and there was a postcard on the top. A few words were written on it with a marker: “A gift for you, Zee.”
Myriade recognized the handwriting; it was written by Hesper herself.
The gift was a very beautiful dress, and it was pure white.
Myriade burst into tears, and the man took her into his arms and patted her on the back lightly. Both of them did not utter a single word throughout the whole journey.
Although Roberto had lost a lot of blood, Myriade only assaulted him out of anger and did not stab him in a deadly spot. Apart from that, the dagger was forged for its appearance more than its practical functionality. So it was fortunate that none of Roberto’s organs suffered any fatal
injuries.
After paying for Roberto’s medical bills, Hesper went to his ward. Due to excessive blood loss, Roberto would remain unconscious for a while.
Hesper let out a long sigh and sat on the bench a little tiredly.
Renfrew cried for a long time when he first arrived at the hospital, but now, he had stopped crying and making noise. He was unexpectedly quiet instead.
Hesper held his hand and could feel that he was trembling.
“Mommy…” Renfrew opened his mouth but did not say anything in the end.
“Rickard Duval, do you have something to say to me?”
When they were on their way there, Hesper had already asked Renee to look into Myriade and the organization behind her, Daybreak. And probably because the incident happened so suddenly and shocked many people, even Daybreak had shown a lot of flaws that day.
Rickard was the one who personally brought Zoya to Halwanest and then allowed her to come find Hesper and Renfrew.
Hesper was not an idiot. She managed to piece together all the anomalies that took place before
this.
Why Rickard didn’t take Renfrew back to the Duvals… And how he claimed that he doesn’t want Renfrew to get hurt when he sees him attending blind dates. Those were all lies made up by Rickard. Both Renfrew and I have been used by him. This is the truth.”
“I wouldn’t respond like this even if you’d used me or plotted against me. I don’t even know what to say to you. Do you know that, Rickard Duval?” Hesper closed her eyes and shook her head. “You even got Renfrew involved in your plot. Rickard Duval, you’re truly a beast.”
