Chapter 326
Renfrew kept clutching the corner of Hesper’s clothes anxiously. His eyes were swollen red, but he did
not want his mommy to worry about him at this moment and instead held his breath.
“Ren, Mommy is fine. Don’t worry.”
Noticing Renfrew’s silence, Hesper knew that he must be frightened sick, but being his sensible self, he
tried not to show it. She reached out and held Renfrew’s hand.
Renfrew let out a muffled hum.
“I thought it might take you guys a lot longer to get here. There aren’t even any landmarks to refer to in
these woods. I was just wondering about how I would get out of here.”
Matthew was speechless as well. He had not thought much on his way over, but the location sent by
Renfrew’s friend was shockingly accurate. Even in the woods, they still managed to find Hesper’s exact Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
location.
“Renfrew. was the one who found out where you were. It was all thanks to him. He was the one who
realized you were missing too.”
Hesper was impressed, yet not entirely surprised. Because deep down in her heart, Renfrew was the
most brilliant kid in the world, now more so than she ever imagined.
After reaching the hospital, Hesper did a comprehensive health examination. As it turned out, the drug
in Hesper’s body did not have any other side effects besides making her body temporarily lose its
strength.
There were no other signs of injury on her body either, except that she had been frightened and caught
a cold from laying in the snow for too long. Nothing that couldn’t be treated with some simple
medication.
“I hadn’t had the chance to ask the details earlier. What did you mean when you said that the person
vanished… Vanished, how?”
Laying on the hospital bed, Hesper hesitantly shook her head as she heard those words. “He had a
gun in his hand and wouldn’t allow me the chance to redeem myself. No matter what I offered, he.
insisted he wanted nothing but to kill me.
“It was so dark out there. I closed my eyes after I heard the bullets being loaded, and when I opened
them again, there was no one around. There weren’t even any sounds of a fight or quarrel.”
What Hesper said was clearly very contradicting. If that person had only wanted Hesper’s life, he
certainly would not have left by himself, yet there was no sound of resistance when the man carried a
gun in his hand.
No matter how he thought about it, it made no sense.
“Or maybe there were sounds, and I just didn’t hear them. But what I can be sure of is that it was barely
a moment. I’m certain ! only had my eyes shut for less than a minute.”
The events did not add up. Matthew did not know what to say in the moment. Hesper was the only one
around when they arrived.
It was the middle of the night and, not to mention, it was snowing. Even if they managed to return to the
exact location in the woods the next morning, there would be no traces left.
Hesper looked down and sighed. “Besides, this man knows me too well-he knows our family, my
background, and even my thoughts. He’s probably someone I know, but I didn’t get to see his entire
face, and the upper half of his face didn’t match up to anyone I can recall.”
Matthew looked at Hesper as she struggled to remember and reached out to pat her hand ever so
gently with comforting warmth.
“Don’t worry. You’re safe now. We have plenty of time to slowly figure it out. There’s no rush.”
Matthew’s eyes caught Hesper’s gaze and she nibbled the inside of her cheeks. The subtle pain.
calmed her down slightly, and she nodded. “I know… I’m still jittery.”
The door to the ward swung open. Hesper and Matthew turned their heads and saw Nathaniel
walk in.
“What are you doing here at this hour?” Matthew stood up abruptly. Nathaniel saw Hesper laying unhurt
on the hospital bed and seemingly breathed a sigh of relief.
