A Spoonful of Sugar: Don't Beg for Love novel Chapter 626

Nathaniel walked a few steps forward, his face pale. He grabbed 013's collar and dragged him up from the ground.

"Where is Hesper? Where is she?!" he shouted.

"She's dead," 013 replied, grinning proudly like a kid. "It wasn't me who did it. It was Juniper."

Nathaniel punched 013, sending him to the ground before turning around and looking at the raging fire in a daze. It was not hard to imagine what happened there, so had Hesper really died?

Despite having experienced numerous deaths throughout his life and being well-acquainted with the pain of separation from loved ones since childhood, he had never felt as disoriented as he did at this moment. Additionally, he had been responsible for causing the deaths of many people, but it was only now that he felt truly adrift.

"Hesper is dead. It's useless for us to stay here."

013's voice rang out beside Nathaniel's ear. "Now Matthew and his men are busy putting out the fire, so we still have a chance to run away. Think about your parents. Think about Daybreak. Do you want us all to die with Hesper? Do you really want that to happen?"

Nathaniel looked at the fire in front of him and adjusted his glasses. He closed his eyes as if he was bidding a final farewell to Hesper and said, "Let's go."

Rickard fell into a long dream. In the dream, Rickard ran alongside Hesper under a night sky filled with the sounds of firecrackers, holding her hand. When the fire finally ceased, Hesper turned towards him and smiled at him. "I forgive you."
