Chapter 517Matthew walked in and saw the two of them sitting in the same room without talking to each other. He
did not know who was suffocating the other in this situation.
In the end, Hesper was the first to raise her head and see Matthew. “Matt… What’s wrong?”
Matthew straightened his face. “I might have to go back to Halwanest tomorrow… Grandpa has fallen
sick. It’s quite a sudden illness, and his condition is more serious than before.”
“What?” Hesper frowned when she heard that. “Why would he suddenly fall sick? Grandpa has always
been in good health.”
Arthur’s sudden illness had also interrupted Matthew’s original plan. He originally planned to wait for
Hesper’s legs to fully recover before returning to Halwanest. Everything had been arranged too, but he
did not expect Arthur to suddenly fall ill.
The two walked out of the ward. Matthew took off his jacket and draped it over Hesper’s shoulders.
“Don’t worry too much. Grandpa’s health has always been rather good, so he’ll be fine.” Matthew knew
that Hesper’s life was already in a mess, so he should not add more burden onto her shoulders. He
patted her on the shoulder. “Take care of yourself. You can talk to Grandpa when you’ve fully recovered
and go back to Halwanest.”
For a moment, Hesper was at a loss for words. She never had the chance to tell Matthew what 013
Ads by PubFuture said to her on the plane.
That she was not related to the Lanes by blood.
But it was not a suitable time for that, so Hesper could only nod. “Don’t worry about me. Professor
Miles claims that my charts look great, so I’ll return to Halwanest as soon as my legs are healed.””Really?” Matthew was originally worried that Hesper would stay behind because of Rickard’s
condition, but Hesper’s expression looked very decisive.
Seeing Matthew’s expression, Hesper could not help but give a smile. “Do I look like someone who
doesn’t know how to prioritize?”
Hesper also told Matthew about the call that she had received from Juniper recently. Matthew could not
help but feel relieved to see that Hesper was indeed unaffected by Rickard.
“After going back to Halwanest, I’ll get rid of Juniper first… And no matter what, Rickard’s poisoning
was caused by me, so I won’t shirk my responsibility. After I’ve tackled everything here, I’ll definitely
head back home.”
“…Okay, I believe you. But if anyone here bullies you, don’t forget that you have an older brother.”
Having said that, Matthew pinched Hesper’s cheek angrily. “If you dare disappear on me again, I’ll
chase you to the ends of the earth and dig you out.”
Hesper’s mood was completely different from how she felt when they had this exact conversation last
Ads by PubFuture time. Looking back, Hesper couldn’t help but think that she was too arrogant when she left Halwanest.
Matthew’s protection was like God’s blessing to her, so hearing this, Hesper’s eyes warmed up. She
nodded.
“Okay, I won’t disappear on you again.”
“You’re going to have to swear about it.”
“…I swear,” Hesper said helplessly.
The incident happened rather urgently, so Matthew’s flight would depart in the afternoon. Hesper’s
condition would not allow her to send him off, but Matthew did not want her to send him to the airport inthe first place. He was fine with the goodbye that he managed to get in the morning.
——
After disembarking from the plane, Matthew was picked up by a servant and went straight back to the
Lanes’ ancestral residence. The people around him were so scared by the aura that originated from
Matthew’s core that they did not dare to utter a single word.
Arriving at the entrance of the mansion, Matthew asked in a deep voice, “Where’s Rachael?”
However, the scene that welcomed him home was Helen striding up to him in a hurry.
Helen had already received the news about Matthew’s return to Halwanest. She stopped Matthew at
novelbinthe entrance of the mansion.
“Matthew, don’t get too mad. Rachael is still young; it’s common for her to make mistakes.”
Matthew sneered when he heard that explanation then looked at Helen. “I wonder when the two of you
became so close to each other. I’m looking for my sister. Who gave you the power to stop me here and
talk nice about her?”
