A Spoonful of Sugar: Don't Beg for Love novel Chapter 610

They were in a stalemate. Carter stepped forward to calm the situation. "How's this? Why don't I go with Big T to get Hesper while 013 and Riley go get Renfrew?"

013 and Nathaniel didn't say anything at first. Then Nathaniel finally nodded. "Alright, let's do that."

"I hope you'll do what needs to be done." 013 coldly stood up and walked past Nathaniel. "You feel like a stranger to me. Is Hesper Rivera really so important to you? They don't have the guts to talk about this, but I do. Don't forget Uncle Idris and Aunt Lucille are looking down at you from heaven. When are you going to avenge them?"

"Enough." Nathaniel's face turned cold. "Don't address them the way Set does. You don't deserve to."

The air froze again. Carter scratched his head and made eyes with Riley. Riley grabbed 013 and left, leaving Carter and Nathaniel.

Carter understood Nathaniel because he had someone he loved dearly too. He was going to say something to cheer him up, but Nathaniel stood up.

"There's no need to say anything more. We'll leave at dawn."

"What? This dawn?"

Nathaniel opened the door, leaving him standing there.

"Why didn't you give me a chance to speak? I'm really good at counseling."

With one day left till the surgery, Hesper felt uneasy.

She tried hard to convince herself that Renfrew was safe because a lot of people were keeping their eyes on him, so nothing could happen. However, she kept dreaming about the other night.

In her dream, she didn't manage to stop Nathaniel from throwing Renfrew into the river. Renfrew struggled in the river, keeping his eyes on her, questioning why she wasn't trying to save him.

Genecity was Rickard's turf, so they were behind enemy lines. They might have trouble taking Hesper or, worse, get killed in the process.

That was why they had to start with Renfrew so the firepower was focused there. That way, they could be confident that they could take Hesper away even if the guards there left.

Meanwhile, right after replying to Hesper's message, Rickard stood up and looked at Renfrew, who was fast asleep. Rickard stretched out his hand and pulled the blanket to cover him better.

Suddenly, the sound of footsteps could be heard outside. Rickard frowned and walked to the door.

There shouldn't be people walking around there. It seemed that even though Hesper tried to distract them, Daybreak still showed up at the hospital.

Rickard sounded the alarm, and at the same moment, the door was forcefully opened. Renfrew woke up from his dream and realized that his dad was just a foot away from him. Rickard clenched his jaw and pulled Renfrew into his arms.
