Chapter 325


    Chapter 325


    Hearing 013 mention her son, Hesper suddenly panicked. “Don’t you darey 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.


    “As for the rest of the questions, God will answer them for you.”


    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 shlight from earlier was left on the ground. Hesper


    picked up the shlight, instantly illuminating her surroundings.


    She was in a forest with nondmarks 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 shlight 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 shlight 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 shlight 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 slowlying 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, “Nheless you’ve been shot


    with an unknown drug, so you should have it checked. Let’s head back to the city.”
