Chapter 246
Hesper walked up to the door and looked outside through the peephole but saw nothing.
Recalling the recent news, which reported that many women living alone had been harassed, Hesper
frowned. She wanted to see who it was, but a pair of hands appeared out of nowhere and blocked her
view.
Hesper was taken aback, but then Renee’s voice sounded from the other side of the door.
“Ms. Lane, it’s me.”
While Hesper found a pair of slippers for Renee, Renfrew was still sleeping on the couch, showing no
indication of waking up at all.
“Why are you here all of a sudden?” Renee’s lips looked a little pale, and it seemed that she had not
healed just yet, so Hesper dragged her into the dining room, only to realize that her hands were
freezing cold. She instantly turned around and poured her some warm water.
“I didn’t send you the messagest night to urge you toe back to work as soon as possible.”
Hesper handed the warm ss to Renee. “It’s just that you don’t have any friends or family to rely on in
Genecity, and Isaac and I are your only acquaintances here, so since you were sick, it’s only natural
that I would care about how you’re doing.”
Renee obediently held the ss of warm water. She exerted so much force on the ss that the blood
was drained from her knuckles.
“Ms. Lane, you’ve always been my only rtive.”
Hesper was astonished for a moment then sighed. Instead of going on with the topic, she changed the
subject. “So why did youe here all of a sudden? can see that you still have not fully recovered, SO
you should stay at home and rest. How do you expect your body to recover if you’re running around
like this?”
Renee sat on the chair cautiously, listening to Hesper’s warm reprimand. The temperature of the warm
water spread from her fingertips and seemed to gradually seep into her body.
A hoarse voice then sounded. “I… I heard from Isaac that thepany has been very busy these two
days. I’ve always been the one who sorts out all the materials, so I was worried that it’d be too much for
him.”
Hence, even though she did not have much strength in her body, she still made the effort toe
over.”
“Thepany won’t crumble just because you’re not with us. The most important thing that you need
to do now is take good care of your body.” Hesper looked at Renee’s desperate face,pletely
forgetting how she acted when she decided to travel all the way to Salt City back then, and shook her
head in disappointment. “Come back when you feel better. Now go home and enjoy your holiday.”
Renfrew woke up just then. He then stared drowsily at his mother and Aunt Renee, who were sitting in
the dining room a couple of feet away from him. Hints of confusion shed across his eyes. “Mommy…
Aunt. Renee?”
Hesper went up to him and rubbed his head, while Renee silently stood up and took a few steps
backward. “I might spread the virus to the young master.”
Renfrew obediently stood a few steps away while Hesper held his hand and straightened his cor,
which became crooked after the nap.
Hesper looked at her embarrassed-looking assistant and said helplessly, “It’s okay. Don’t be so
anxious
about the virus.
Renee shook her head.
‘Ms. Lane most cherishes the young master. If he were to fall sick because of me… I’d kill myself if that
were to happen.’

Someone knocked on the door again. Hesper nced at the door and felt a little helpless. “Who is it
now?”
No one spoke up, so Hesper and Renee exchanged gazes.
Perhaps because there were two adults present now, Hesper strode up to the door and opened it
immediately, only to realize that there was no one in the corridor. Only a paper bag was left at her
doorstep.
“Who is it from?” Renee was a little wary, but Hesper frowned and picked up the paper bag. “Ms. Lane,
we don’t know who it’s from…”
When she heard her worry, Hesper shook her head and carefully peeked at the contents of the paper
bag.
“The person who sent this bag is an acquaintance of mine.”
In the evening, the person who came to pick up Renfrew was someone that Hesper did not expect to
see.
