Renfrew was a little astonished and stared at Hesper for a while.
“Mommy, would it be like what you did before… I can only stay by your side and never see Daddy
again?”
Hesper was a little surprised by Renfrew’s capability to understand the underlying message.
hidden under her vague question. She had tried to put the cruel reality into very obscure words, but
Renfrew still understood what she wanted to express in an instant.
She nodded. “Yes, it’s just how you understand it.”
Such a decision might be too harsh for Renfrew. Although he loved his mommy very much, he had C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
been living with his daddy since he was born.
Even though Rickard was very strict with him most of the time… He was certain that he loved him a
lot.
“Don’t you want to…”
Hesper sounded a little disappointed, but Renfrew’s response seemed to be within her expectation.
After all, Renfrew grew up right next to Rickard, and although Rickard treated. everyone else very
badly, Renfrew was never one of them, so this little kid would definitely not hate Rickard.
“I’ll go with you, Mommy,” Renfrew responded just when Hesper was thinking about how to change the
subject. His gaze was filled with solemnity. “Daddy has kept me in Genecity and away from you all this
while without your permission, and you’re only doing the same thing, so I support you.”
Renfrew was so obedient and sensible, Hesper rubbed his head distressfully and said in a low voice
after a short while, “It’s not that I want to do this, but that I have to.”
There was no other reason. Everything in this world would disappear someday in the future, whether it
was love or commitment. Those things were too unstable for Hesper, and they had crushed her trust
too many times. Renfrew was the one most important person that she had left in this world. He was the
“truth” that would never betray her and leave her.
Renfrew was her baby, her heart and soul, her flesh and blood.
Seeing Hesper’s frail look, Renfrew patted her back lightly as if he was trying to comfort her, just
like what the actors in dramas did.
Meanwhile, across the ocean.
According to the address that he had obtained beforehand, Rickard found the hotel where the
mysterious doctor often made an appearance and checked in secretly.
The locals claimed that there were countless people who would come here to ask the doctor to treat
their illnesses or save lives every year, so there were quite a number of people who would go around
town and ask every local about this doctor,
However, this old man was famous for his strange temper and quirk. He might not even take up orders
from the richest of the rich, and he said that he only saved others out of fate.
Although Rickard did not know what “fate” meant, he had already made up his mind to bring this.
mysterious doctor back with him to treat Hesper’s leg injury.
“The old man hasn’t come back for a while. Now that you’ve brought him up, he’s never gone away for
such a long time before this. Some say that he offended too many people earlier in his life, so I think
his enemies must’ve come and made his life difficult,” the person who led Rickard into the town
explained. The news dragged Rickard deep into his thoughts.
“Is there any way for me to contact him directly? I’ll do whatever it takes.”
As soon as Rickard said so, the man laughed instantly. “If he doesn’t want to come out, none of us will
be able to locate him. However, this old man does have a precious apprentice. In the past, all you
needed to do was to get into contact with this apprentice of his, and there might be a glimmer of hope
for you. But his apprentice has gone off the grid for a long time too.”
The internal atmosphere of the hotel was excellent. Although Rickard had been keeping a rather low
profile when he traveled here this time around, his regal aura naturally attracted the attention of the
crowd around him, making it very difficult for others to ignore his existence. Everyone looked at him as
if they had seen a gold ingot.
They had arrived at a place where no law applied.
