Chapter 375
On new year’s day, Hesper got ready to return to Genecity.
After drinking the soup and resting, Hesper didn’t catch a cold and was energetic the next day.
Hesper had originally wanted to find out more about Shawn when she went back to Emperion and also cancel her wedding agreement. However, now it seemed that she had to take a trip back to the orphanage to find out more about Shawn. As for the wedding agreement… It seemed less like a lock and more like something she could use to avoid questions.
Realizing that, she suddenly felt helpless.
She had to admit that the agreement was a good shield. However, to ensure that Nathaniel understood how she felt about their relationship, she said a lot of things to make it very clear.
If they were to continue their current relationship, she had to find time to talk to him.
That afternoon, Hesper arrived at Genecity. Most people were on holiday, so Hesper didn’t work and instead went to the hospital to see Roberto.
“Happy new year.”
Roberto was recovering well and was able to move slightly. He could also sit up and draw.
Hesper was in his position before and knew that it was very boring. Roberto’s eyes were still kind and she saw that he had flecks under the sunlight.
“I had someone investigate the scene. Myriade… is Zoya. I guess she took the clothes you made. for me.” It had been a while, so Hesper was able to casually bring Zoya up. “I haven’t heard. anything about her ever since, so that’s all that I can tell you.”
“Thanks for that.” Roberto motioned for her to take a seat. “I’ve thought a lot about what
happened recently. Zoya is young. I’ve thought about what she said to me over and over again. My wife is no longer around… That’s the truth.”
“…I’m sorry.” Hesper didn’t know what to say. Death felt so far away.
Roberto shook his head. “It’s fine. Hope is just lost again. I’ve suffered loss before, so this isn’t too bad.
“However, something happened during the time that I had no knowledge about and it doesn’t match what I knew,” Roberto said. “Not only does Zoya know of my existence, she probably lived with Yuna for a while, so Yuna definitely didn’t die in the accident.”
Hesper forgot about that, but now she wanted to…
Based on the timeline that Roberto knew, Yuna got into an accident when she was pregnant with Zoya. It seemed as though both mother and child didn’t make it, but in reality, not only did Yuna survive, she gave birth to Zoya and they lived together somewhere nobody knew.
