Chapter 571


    "Okay, go then."


    This was not Hesper’s first visit to Arthur’s room. Hesper thought of the moments she shared with


    Arthur back then and felt that fate really had its own way of ying with people.


    After all, familial affection was something she thought she didn''t deserve, and she had always


    reminded herself that, sooner orter, she would have to return everything that she owed to someone


    else.


    Thinking of this, Hesper suddenly hesitated to open the door, but she still made up her mind and


    knocked on the door.


    "Is that Hesper? Come in."


    Hesper was a little surprised. Hearing Arthur’s voice, it seemed that he had been waiting for her for a


    long time. Without much hesitation, Hesper quietly opened the door and walked in after obtaining


    Arthur’s permission.


    "You’ve lost a lot of weight." Arthur wasying on his bed. He took a closer look at Hesper and then


    sighed. "Life must be very difficult out there. You look much thinner than you did a year ago. You’re now


    almost as thin as you were when you first came here."


    Hesper did not expect such an opening remark, and this instantly caused the bottom of her eyes to


    slightly tear up.


    It was as if nothing had happened before this, and she was still Arthur’s most beloved granddaughter.


    Arthur seemed to know what Hesper was thinking, so he motioned her toe over and then patted


    the back of her hand like he always did in the past. "If you’ve suffered any grievances out there, don’t


    forget about the Lanes and me... Apart from that, how can you be this cruel to your grandpa? It’s been


    a whole year since youst came here to visit me."


    Hesper lowered her head. "I don’t think I should show up here anymore. Now that Rachael has


    returned, I can’t help but feel guilty about the fact that I stole a lot of her things, including her identity."


    "Silly girl." Arthur sighed and did not say much. Hesper had a hunch that he seemed to have something


    to say, but when he met her probing gaze, he chose to keep it to himself.


    After catching up with Arthur for some time, Hesper finally felt slightly more rxed than before. This


    was the only time where she had room to catch her breath in recent days, so before she knew it, she


    had already fallen asleep beside Arthur’s bed.


    Arthur stroked Hesper’s hair affectionately and then covered her with a thin quilt.


    …


    It was already dawn when she woke up again. Realizing that she had fallen asleep on the edge of her

    grandfather’s bed, Hesper smacked her head in a daze.


    When she opened the door of the room, she just so happened to run into the driver of the Lanes.


    Howard had had a good rtionship with Hesper in the past because Hesper had been kind to others


    and did not showcase the attitude of a spoiled youngdy. Even when he picked her up a few minutes


    Meeting Hesper’s gaze, Howard instantly lowered his head with a guilty conscience.


    Hesper initiated the conversation first. "Mr. Lindberg, what are you doing here so early?"


    Howard nodded with aplicated expression and then looked around.


    Thinking that no one was awake at this time, he dragged Hesper to the side. The guilt in his expression


    became more and more intense.


    "Ms. Lane, are you angry at me for not picking you up yesterday?"


    It would be aplete lie if she were to say that she did not feel disappointed at all. Although Hesper


    understood the truth that humans would die for money and birds would die for food, she had shown


    genuine affection to all those people. But once she was no longer the eldest daughter of the Lanes, the


    people whom she regarded as her elders were quick to abandon her.


    Recalling all this, it was still rather sad to see them react so.
