Chapter 360
Coming out of the ward, Hesper and Nathaniel walked side by side in the hospital.
Nathaniel took the initiative to break the somewhat awkward atmosphere. “I’ve heard about the matter
with Daybreak. Are you okay?”
Hesper shook her head. “How am I not okay? As for the girl… She was quite well-behaved when she
was staying with me. But I really didn’t expect things to turn out like this. I even got Mr. Sanchez hurt.
“Let’s not talk about this anymore. You’ve beening to Genecity quite often recently. Is there
something that demands your attention here?” Hesper turned her head. “I remember that you were
always in Emperion before, and asionally, you’d go abroad to study. Before, you imed that you
hadn’t been in Genecity in a long time.”
Nathaniel was taken aback for a moment. Then he lowered his beautiful eyes and gazed at
Hesper helplessly.
“Do you really not know why I’m always here?” Nathaniel approached her abruptly.
Hesper’s heart skipped a beat, but after seeing Nathaniel’s half-smile, she let out a sigh of relief and
frowned. “Stop making fun of me.”
Nathaniel distanced himself and rubbed Hesper’s head. “I can see that you’re not in a good mood, so I
chose to tease you a little. I’m here because an old friend has returned to Halwanest and he has some
things to do in Genecity, but due to personal reasons, he couldn’te here himself, so he entrusted

me toe and help him out.”
“I see.” Hesper knew that Nathaniel had always attached great importance to the people around him,
be it his family or friends, so if he was here to help others out, it sounded rather reasonable.” If there’s
anything that I can help with, just ring me up.

Nathaniel nodded. “Of course, but I can handle it for now. This friend of mine has quite a bad temper,
so if I were to tell others about this matter so easily, my actions might provoke unnecessary emotions
and chaos.”
Hesper raised an eyebrow.
When Nathaniel mentioned that “friend” of his, Hesper seemed to have felt a faint hint of affection
in his tone.
“The friend you’re talking about is ady, isn’t it?” Hesper teased.
“Huh?” Nathaniel was astonished for a split second, then he chuckled as if he had thought of
something funny. “If he were to learn that you called him ady, he’d be so angry that he would pop off
of his wheelchair.”
Nathaniel’s words sounded a little off, and Hesper realized something.
‘So this friend that Nathaniel just brought up should be someone younger than him, shouldn’t he? And
he’s someone with a disability and can’t walk. It really sounds like he’s grown up being spoiled by the
people around him.’
“When you return to Emperion, there’s no need for you to hold back if you run into any problems. As
long as it’s within my capabilities, I won’t say no to you.” After walking a few steps forward, the wind
subsided, and Nathaniel turned his head, his gaze full of tenderness. “Trust me.”
After taking care of all the work in Genecity, Hesper could finally return to Emperion with peace of
mind.
It was almost New Year’s Eve. Hesper seemed to have aplished a lot during her time away from
Emperion and had a strong reason to support her decision toe home for a while. Hence, although
Wilfred was still being sarcastic and cynical when she was around, Hesper could not even bother to go
back and forth with him. Arthur’s love for her was her strongest prop in the Lanes, so no one could
really hurt her.
“Hesper, have you lost weight againtely?”
Hesper was helpless. “You already said that I lost weight thest time I came. It’s winter now, so it’s
normal to be a little slimmer… Don’t worry, Grandpa, I’ve been eating well in Genecity.”
Arthur rubbed Hesper’s arm, which looked as slender as a stick, and shook his head in disapproval.
“You youngsters don’t care about anything else when you’re busy. From what I can. see, you’re just
saying that to prevaricate me. You look even thinner than when you came back for my birthday.”
Hesper had indeed lost a lot of weight recently, so when she heard hisint, she could only lower
her head with a guilty conscience..
