Chapter 381
‘But what role do the other people play in my life? And who are my biological parents?”
“Ms. Lane?”
Renee’s sudden appearance interrupted Hesper’s trance. She looked at Hesper with slight concern. “What’s the matter? Didn’t you discover any valuable clues? You’ve been standing there for a long time already.”
Hesper shook her head, not knowing where she should start with the explanation, and whether
she should tell Renee about what she had found out.
Although she did not want to, she really could not trust anyone around her now.
Her cell phone rang all of a sudden. Hesper picked up the call; it was from Matthew.
“What’s the matter?”
Matthew paused for a split second on the other end of the phone call as if he had sensed that Hesper’s mood was a little cold at the moment and continued after a short while. “It’s nothing. I only wanted to inform you that Twiggy, the girl that you entrusted to me, is fully recovered.”
“… Twiggy?”
Hearing this unfamiliar nickname, Hesper was stunned for a short while. It took her quite some time to remember that Twiggy was the girl who rescued her in Salt City a few months ago. After that incident, Hesper asked Matthew to find her a doctor. She did not expect that she was really cured.
“The doctor said that her intelligence has fully recovered and that she wasn’t born intellectually inferior to other kids. It was probably caused by some external stimulation or illness when she was a child,” Matthew continued to explain. “That’s why I called to ask you what to do next, and where I should send her to.”
Hesper shook her head and was about to say something, but she then heard the voice of Matthew’s secretary reminding him that the meeting had already started coming from the other end of the phone call, so she could only give up.
“It’s okay, let’s talk about it the next time we meet.”
“Alright.”
Rubbing her hair irritably, Hesper sighed, tried to calm down the indescribable annoyance that was surging from the bottom of her heart, turned her head, and looked at Renee. “Let’s go back first.”
“Um.” Renee looked at Hesper worriedly.
She could not help but feel that something huge was imminent.
