Chapter 450
Hesper was a little speechless, but she was directly picked up by Rickard in the next second.
Hesper was so astonished that she almost exclaimed, but if she and Rickard were to be seen in this posture, nothing she said would be able to clear her name, so she could only glare at Rickard with wide eyes.
“The injury on your legs has recurred. I forecast that it’ll rain tomorrow.”
Rickard hugged Hesper in his arms as if she was a child, strode into her room, and gently placed her on the bed. “Did you bring your painkiller with you? And be honest with me, did you ram into something just now?”
Hesper blinked a few times in a row.
Has this man been possessed by some spirits? Why does he sound so absurd? No matter what, such words shouldn’t come out of his mouth.’
“Why are you looking at me?”
“How can you be so shameless?” Hesper turned her head away, and said awkwardly, “The injuries on my leg are thanks to you, so why put on a show in front of me and try to sympathize with me now?”
Hearing this, Rickard lowered his gaze. “Yes, it’s all my fault.”
Hesper did not expect Rickard to admit his mistake so directly. In fact, something had been clearly wrong with Rickard ever since she met him in Fredonia. It was as if he was a different person.
“Will apologies cover everything that you did to me in the past? Will my legs get better only because you apologized to me? Or do you think this will undo everything you did to lie to me before this?” Hesper closed her eyes. “Rickard, you’re so despicable from time to time.”
1 got scolded again.’
Rickard sighed lightly.
“Hesper, although this isn’t the first time you’ve wronged me, I still feel that I must explain the matter to you.”
Turning Hesper’s face over, Rickard continued to explain seriously, “The last time I left Zoya with you, I traveled here to Fredonia by myself. I didn’t come here because of the organization Daybreak, but because there’s a doctor here who claimed that he can treat your leg injury. I followed his tracks here and just so happened to find out that he might have something to do with Daybreak.”
With Rickard clamping her chin with his fingers and forcing her to look at him, Hesper had to stare straight into his eyes, so she could only curl her lips. “What does this have to do with you deliberately sending Zoya to me? Even if your original intention was to find a doctor for me, Zoya still managed to hurt Renfrew and me, didn’t she?”
Rickard frowned, then slowly shook his head.
“Zoya is Renfrew’s mysterious friend. You should know that, right? Renfrew once told me that his friends would never hurt him no matter what. I’d never seen that kind of certainty beaming from Renfrew’s eyes before, so I also chose to trust him.
“During that period, I asked Benji to keep an eye on Zoya. If she wanted to harm you, we would’ve taken her away before you knew it… Apart from that, you have to admit that Zoya didn’t do what she did because she wanted to harm you, but because she lost her cool as soon as she saw Roberto, right?”
Hesper remained silent for a moment.
In fact, what Rickard said was right, and Hesper knew that deep down, but Rickard did use her, whether it was with good intentions or bad ones.
