Zoya left after she had gotten what she wanted. Looking at her back, Hestia felt that the girl's skirt looked very familiar. It was as if she had seen it somewhere before.
Hestia felt a bit disoriented after the collision, and Rickard picked up on her discomfort. He stepped forward to assist her, and this time Hestia was too weak to resist, so she allowed Rickard to help her into the car.
"Are you feeling a headache?" Rickard asked.
Hestia nodded, but she remained silent. Rickard did not ask further and simply said, "Can you still go pick up the person?"
Leaving Jessie at Vivienne's place was not an option, and Jessie was quite shaken up from what happened just now. If Hestia did not go, Jessie's situation might get worse.
With that thought in mind, Hestia gritted her teeth and nodded without hesitation. "Yes, we're going."
"You should get a doctor to take a look at you later," Rickard responded. After he placed Hestia on the back seat, he went to the front and started the engine.
Finally, they picked up Jessie, and Hestia breathed a sigh of relief. Jessie had already woken up not long after Hestia left. When she saw Rickard, she tugged at Hestia's sleeve in a guarded manner.
"Do you know who he is?"
Hestia nodded. "My ex-husband."
Rickard was stumped.
