    Chapter 200


    After Hesper spilled the beans, Xavier fell quiet.


    Hesper wasn’t a shy person. If it wasn’t something that she absolutely couldn’t talk about, she wouldn’t


    have hidden it. They were just normal people, different from the Duvals, who were important. In


    Xavier remembered that Hesper didn’te from the best background, so she must have gone


    through à lot living with the Duvals.


    “This is a really rare chance.”

    After a long pause, Xavier finally sighed and waved his hand to let Hesper leave.


    Hesper walked out of the office and looked at the campus grounds, then sighed too.


    She knew how rare the opportunity was, but after having an intense struggle with herself, she chose to


    give it up. She was too naive in the past. Now that she hade so far, there was no point chasing.


    dreams and hobbies.


    Where would she find the time and energy for those things?


    The right opportunity hade at the wrong time. Life wasn’t perfect; that was reality.


    It waste autumn and the leaves had fallen. Stepping on them made a crunching sound. Hesper


    walked for a long time with her head hung low before suddenly seeing a pair of feet in front of her.


    “Hesper.”


    Hesper looked up and was surprised to see Nathaniel smiling at her.


    “You’re back?”


    Nathaniel looked at Hesper, who was before him. She seemed to have lost weight but was as


    mesmerizing as ever. She looked like a work of art under the evening sun, a painting worth millions.


    Nathaniel had not mentioned that he wasing back, just like how he never mentioned that he was


    going abroad, so Hesper was shocked by his sudden appearance. The two friends were reunited.


    “Let’s talk while we walk. We can get some local food,” Nathaniel raised his hand and Hesper saw that


    he was holding a paper bag, though she didn’t know what was inside. “Here’s a present from Julian to


    you. I don’t know what’s inside it.”


    Hesper couldn’t guess what he might give her. She teased Nathaniel, saying, n gave me a present,


    but you came empty-handed?”


    Nathaniel shook his head. “I did. But do you remember that I mentioned a surprise? I came here for


    that.”


    They both got into the car. Nathaniel never liked people following him around, so he always drove.


    Hesper got into the passenger’s seat and opened the heavy paper bag.


    She was utterly surprised by its content. It was a box of medication.


    Hesper opened it, and there was a note in Julian’s handwriting.


    Julian: This is for Mr. Duval Sr. I remembered this. However, the follow-up treatments will take some


    time because I…


    How have you been? I miss you.


    Hesper put away the note because it turned mushy, then looked toward Nathaniel and said, “Why did


    you.


    suddenly want to go for local food? I haven’t had the chance to have a proper meal yet.”


    “I knew you wouldn’t eat properly. I’m going toin to your brother when I’m back in Emperion.”


    Nathaniel seemed to imagine what would happen, and he smiled. “I lived here for a while and never


    had the chance to return. It feels like a lifetime ago since I had the food here.”


    They talked on the road and soon came to a little restaurant.
