Chapter 420
Hesper felt a little helpless, but she followed Stephen’s instructions and left.
After all, Hesper and Stephen were not very familiar with each other just yet, so she raised her concerns only after walking up to Roberto. “Mr. Cyrus seems to be a little unwell. Do you want to go in and take a look at him?”
“Unwell?” Roberto frowned. “His health has always had a lot of issues. Take a seat here and give. me a few minutes. He always throws a tantrum whenever he gets sick. He didn’t scold you, did he?
Hesper cleared her throat.
‘Although it isn’t exactly a scolding, I did get some sarcasm from Stephen.’
Hesper had never seen an adult who would pitch a tantrum like a child when he was ill.
Roberto met her gaze and understood what she was thinking. “Stephen has lost parts of his memories. He was already suffering from all these health issues when I got to know him. He seems to have injured his head and brain, so his memory isn’t very good.”
“I see.” Hesper remembered that Stephen wanted to say something to her last time, but he forgot about it halfway through. “You should go in first. I’ll wait for you here.”
“Okay.”
Instead of going to the hospital, Roberto called the family doctor. The doctor came over, gave Stephen a checkup, and found that there was nothing wrong with his health. His head was only aching for no reason.
“It’s probably because Mr. Cyrus’s old head injury has recurred. With Mr. Cyrus’s current condition, it’s best for him to not be stimulated.” The family doctor skimmed through all the normal readings, pushed his glasses, and continued to explain. “Because I don’t really know how Mr. Cyrus’s got his head injured in the first place, I’d still suggest that Mr. Cyrus should live his life as ordinarily as possible, so try to avoid any form of drastic changes in life.”
“That doesn’t make any sense. It’s my body, so I know it better.” Stephen, who was a little annoyed, turned over on the bed, with his back facing everyone present.
Hesper and Roberto exchanged glances and heard Stephen whispering to himself in Halwanese, “I hate it when people chant mantras by my side when I’m sick. It’d be great if I could eat some canned yellow peaches…”

After obtaining Stephen’s address from Roberto, Hesper realized that she could miraculously recognize every part of the map after going through it. She probably wouldn’t face any problems going there next time.
“You seem very busy recently. Did you take on some new orders in Eustoma?”
“Yes, it’s a huge deal that’ll bring in considerable profits.”
Hesper did not hide her collaboration with Pennleigh from Roberto, as well as her work at Eustoma.
