Chapter 163


    Chapter 163


    Matthew responded with a hum and walked forward. Seeing Hesper’s paleplexion, he forcibly


    suppressed his rage.


    “Grandpa cooked some soup for you himself and kept telling me to watch you finish it before leaving


    you to yourself.”


    Hesper’s eyes widened, and she bargained, “The thermos is so huge. Just how much soup did he


    cook? I’ll turn into a ball after finishing it!”


    Looking at Hesper’s coquettish smiling face, Matthew sighed, stretched out his hand, and rubbed the


    top of her head. “Then you’re to give Grandpa a call and tell him that you’re not going to finish the


    soup. Anyway, this is the task he assigned to me; if I were to fail to aplish it, he’ll definitely nag me


    over the years toe.”


    Hesperughed. “I’ll tell Grandpa that you speak ill of him behind his back.”


    The two chatted for a while before Hesper remembered that there was something more important that


    they should talk about.


    “The person staying in the next ward saved my life. She’s also an orphan, and she struggles a little in


    the intelligence department. The person who raised her…” Hesper lowered her gaze, feeling a little


    unbearable to continue. “That person died in the earthquake. She really has no one to rely on now.


    Could you help me find a reliable doctor for her to see if her disease can be cured? As for the payment,


    just deduct it from my ie over the years.”


    ‘No matter what, Twiggy will always be the person who saved my life. I can’t just leave her out there to


    die. If she can recover from whatever illness that’s bothering her and regain a normal IQ, she would at


    least be able to survive in the future.


    “Okay.” Matthew agreed, and then suggested all of a sudden, “But I think you should entrust this matter


    to another person. He has more connection in this field than I do.”


    This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    “Who’s that?” Hesper did not even realize it for a split second, and when she thought of Nathaniel, her


    expression turned a little helpless. “Matthew, stop trying to make a match out of the two of us. Others


    might not know about our rtionship, but you should know best!”.


    “Nathaniel is indeed an excellent man. I regard you as my younger sister; that makes you the young


    Matthew mentioned Nathaniel out of the blue only because he wanted to test Hesper’s reaction.


    After all, Hesper had taken a liking to Rickard for so many years, and he realized that Rickard’s attitude


    towards her had changed so much over the years. That man even saved Hesper’s life in Salt City


    without hesitating or worrying that he himself would actually get hurt in the process.


    It was hard to guarantee that Hesper would not be moved by him again.


    Hesper scratched her forehead in distress, and then said, “Nathaniel is indeed a very good friend, but


    we’re just friends. I don’t have any romantic feelings for him.”


    “As for how Nathaniel treats me… He treats everyone the same way, so I’m sure that he doesn’t like


    me.”


    Seeing that Hesper was simply worried about him bringing the engagement up and not because she


    was falling for Rickard again, Matthew changed the subject without a trace and did not mention


    Nathaniel


    again.


    “Uncle Wilfred has been grounded by Grandpa. It was not reasonable for him to suggest that you risk


    your


    life by traveling to the area stricken by the earthquake. Even the directors back in Emperion can’t say


    anything about the decision.” Matthew imed. “I still stand by what I said earlier. Never put yourself at


    risk.”


    Hearing the seriousness in Matthew’s tone, Hesper nodded solemnly. “I know it’s my fault. I’ve already


    gone back and forth through the gate of hell twice in my life. The first trip taught me to let go of a


    certain someone, and the second trip taught me to take care of myself.”


    Listening to what Hesper had to say, Matthew was slightly stunned. He then saw Hespery back down


    in pain. “My wound hurts so bad. If I knew that you heard everything, I wouldn’t have put on a show!”


    “How did you know?” Matthew was a little helpless


    Hesper replied, “The moment you came in, your gaze already looked weird. It’s just that I didn’t want to


    expose you before.”
