Chapter 466


    "Is Hesper not back yet?"


    Rickard frowned and asked Renfrew to give Hesper a call to check on her. However, Renfrew made a


    few calls but none of them went through.


    It had turned into a storm outside.


    "Mr. Duval…"


    When the help walked in, Rickard already put on his coat and said, "Boil some ginger tea and add


    more sugar." He left the room after saying that.


    Mrs. Potter watched him walk away, sighed, then closed the window of the balcony so that the flowers


    that Rickard did so much to save would survive the storm.


    Meanwhile, Hesper quietly counted the seconds that ticked by. More than an hour passed, so the


    chances of someone suddenlying back to the office or the electricitying back on were very


    small.


    She put her hand to her forehead. Unsurprisingly, she had a fever.


    "No… I can''t stay here."


    Hesper struggled to stand up, then returned to her office to look for some sharp object to smash the


    door open. Even though it was going to be difficult to exin what happened the next day, that was all


    she could do.


    Fortunately, they had a ss door. Even though it was tempered ss, she managed to break it after


    hitting the same spot a few times.


    The door was locked from the inside, so Hesper managed to get out.


    What she wasn''t expecting was that it was just the beginning of her nightmare.


    She walked half a block but didn''t see any cars on the road. Everyone was hiding after getting a storm


    alert, and since Eustoma was in a less popted area, cars would rarely pass by on a normal day.


    The subway station wasn''t too far away. Hesper was wet from head to toe, so she didn''t mind walking a


    little more.


    ***


    She intended to go to the hospital at first, but when she opened her eyes on the train, she was already


    almost home.


    There weren''t a lot of people at the station, so Hesper thought that if she took the train back to the


    hospital, more problems might arise, so she should just go home and take care of her wound by herself


    first, then call a doctor for a house visitter.


    Walking out of the station, the rain was still heavy. Hesper shook her head because her eyes had


    turned blurry, but in the next second, she fell over.


    She was curious why she didn''t feel pain, so she slowly opened her closed eyes and realized that there


    was just rain in front of her eyes and she couldn''t see anything. All she knew was someone had caught


    her.


    "...Thank you."


    That person seemed to have shaken her but her entire body felt cold. She then lost consciousness.


    "Hesper, Hesper?"


    Rickard held her in his arms, but since he was looking for her in the rain, he didn''t have a lot of body


    heat, so all he could do was tap on her face. "Don''t fall asleep."


    Hesper frowned and moaned. Rickard carried her in his arms and went straight home.


    "Oh lord. Cme in quick!"


    Mrs. Potter prepared a towel. When she saw Rickard and Hesper arriving soaked, she ran over. "What


    happened? Ms. Rivera… is burning! She has a fever!"


    Rickard put her down on the couch and called the doctor. All he wanted was to get home as soon as


    possible and didn''t notice that Hesper had a fever.


    All he could think of was the pain she had in her legs.This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.
