A Spoonful of Sugar: Don't Beg for Love novel Chapter 620

Nathaniel’s words caused Rickard and Matthew to frown at the same time.

"Isn’t 013 one of your underlings? So why would he take Hesper away?" Rickard did not leave immediately but questioned him instead. "You can’t even manage your own men?"

Knowing that Rickard would not trust him so easily, Nathaniel pressed the tip of his tongue against his teeth. "You don’t have to believe me, but Hesper doesn’t have much time left… 013 is a personality that was born from a series of psychological suggestions, and you expect him to be loyal?"

"Let’s go and save Hesper first."

Matthew grabbed Nathaniel from Rickard, and his expression became a little complicated, as this was his first time meeting him after knowing about Nathaniel’s true identity.

In his impression, Nathaniel had always been like a younger brother who needed to be taken care of, an all-knowing and omnipotent friend, and a gentle and courteous man. Matthew had never suspected that such a person would lie in ambush by his side for so long, just to give him a fatal blow someday.

"There’s no time for you to hesitate." A hint of urgency could be seen flashing across Nathaniel’s eyes. "013 has missed his target many times, so he won't chit-chat with Hesper this time. There’s a factory west of here. That's where he must’ve brought her."

Rickard nodded to Matthew then strode out of the hospital.

Before coming here, Rickard had already researched all the relatively remote buildings and facilities around the area. The chemical plant to the west was naturally within his scope of consideration, so he could accurately find the location of the factory without anyone’s guidance.

When he was on his way, Rickard’s mind was almost blank. He only knew that he had to rush to the factory as soon as possible. Otherwise, Hesper would die.

‘This is the closest Hesper ever has been to death, and this is also the closest I’ve ever been to saving her... So I mustn’t miss her.’

At this moment, every scene of the past came back to him. Rickard thought about the first time he saw Hesper back then. She was carrying a huge school bag on her back, which looked a little worn out; it contained all her belongings. And she stood behind his grandpa quietly, staring at him with her innocent and clear eyes.That was the first time Rickard felt that he was being watched attentively. This girl did not know that he was the Duvals’ future, nor did she know what kind of "genius" or "heir" he was.
