Chapter 52
First Crest Hospital.
Julian walked out of the hospital after getting a call from Hesper, and when he stopped walking, he was immediately pulled into a car.
In the Rolls-Royce, Hesper, who had a clear, soft, fur coat wrapped around her, was looking at him along with Matthew.
“Hesper, what’s this?”
Julian frowned. When he noticed that she was wet, his tone changed. “You were in the rain? Did Rickard bully you again? Also, what are you doing here?”
“lan, I’ll explain later. You need to leave with me now.”
“What do you mean?” Julian was getting more and more confused.
Hesper replied, “I’ve signed my divorce papers and I’m no longer married to Rickard, but I’m still worried. What if he holds a grudge and confronts you instead? Mr. Lane here is my friend. He arranged a
place for us to stay, so it’s up to you whether you want to come along.”
“I don’t mind leaving.” He was an orphan, with no family and nothing to miss in the city.
Hesper was the only friend he had in the world, so he would go. wherever she went.
“But Hesper.” He looked worriedly at Matthew. This man had a strong presence and an expensive car. It wasn’t hard to guess that he was someone important. Why would a man like this help them?
“I understand your concern, lan, but I trust him.” Hesper sounded confident, then joked about herself. “And besides, no one would
waste their time tricking me.”
Julian wanted to say more, but then thought about it and realized that no matter how dangerous it was, leaving the Duvals would be good for her. “Alright, I’ll let you decide.”
Hesper looked at Matthew. He still looked as calm as ever; even
though he had been suspected of being a con, his expression didn’t change.
“Mr. Lane, lan is in medicine. I hope that you could let him continue his career as a doctor in Emperion.”
“Don’t worry.” Matthew looked up. This was her request, just to bring one more person along.
He thought that she would take the chance to ask for more, but it was a lot simpler than he had imagined.
“If we’re seeing eye to eye on this, let’s go. We won’t be able to get on the initial flight, but I’ve gotten in touch with a private jet, which is already here.”
Right after he said that, their car drove to a wide, open area.
The heavy rain had stopped without anyone noticing, and it was
sunny. The air had the after-scent of the rain and there was even half a rainbow in the sky.
