Chapter 325
Hearing 013 mention her son, Hesper suddenly panicked. “Don’t you dare lay a finger on Renfrew,”
“Don’t worry, I have no interest in that at all. All I want is to kill you.”
There were a couple of clicking sounds in the darkness. Even though she had never seen it in real life,
Hesper could tell it was the sound of bullets being loaded.
The man had a gun…
Hesper had been sure that this man was sent by Juniper, but the conversation in this dark night left her
feeling stumped. This man was certainly not just taking orders; he knew her a little too well.

Hesper subconsciously closed her eyes, falling from one darkness into another. However, the awaited
gunshot was never heard. Hesper had her eyes tightly shut, and it seemed as though a decade had
passed before the realization finally dawned on her.
It seemed she had been rescued.
The noises heard in the darkness were a blur and Hesper had no idea what had just happened. When
she finally opened her eyes again, she no longer felt the presence of anyone next to her.
“…Is anyone there?”
No reply.
Gradually regaining a morsel of strength, Hesper propped her upper body up with her arms. Her phone
had been disposed of, but luckily for her, the flashlight from earlier was left on the ground. Hesper
picked up the flashlight, instantly illuminating her surroundings.
She was in a forest with no landmarks around, except endless rows of trees.
“Is anybody here? Matt? Isaac? Ren?”
“…Rickard?”
Hesper randomly called out the names of people who might appear, but no one replied, Hesper finally
managed to stand up. Leaning against a tree trunk, she waved the flashlight around her.
No one else seemed to be there except her.
Everything she had experienced felt like a horrible nightmare, but the existence of the flashlight proved
that everything had been real.
She was kidnapped and almost lost her life. Maybe, just maybe, she was secretly rescued by a
mysterious person.
Without leaving much time for Hesper to ponder, Renfrew and Matthew-who had arrived in the given
location-followed the light and found her. Seeing Hesper standing alone in the woods with a flashlight in
her hand, they anxiously called out to her.
“Mommy!”
“Hesper!”
Finally hearing familiar voices, Hesper looked at the two people running toward her and felt her eyes
swell up.
“Matt, Ren…”
Matthew took a big stride forward and caught Hesper right before her knees gave way. “Before you say
anything else, are you hurt anywhere? We can go to the hospital right now-”
“I’m okay. Everything’s fine.” Hesper held onto Matthew’s arm. “I was just shot with some sort of
strength suppressant, but my strength is slowly coming back to me now. The man didn’t do anything to
me. He just… suddenly vanished.”
“Vanished?”
What Hesper described was extremely peculiar that it made Matthew pause for a moment, bu now was
not the time to delve into it. Carrying Hesper in his arms, Matthew said, “Nonetheless you’ve been shot
with an unknown drug, so you should have it checked. Let’s head back to the city.”
