“I came to bring you out. If you want to die here, just sit there.”
He ignored everyone and carried Hesper in his arms.
The pain in the back of his head reminded her that if they couldn’t go back the way he came in, he
would probably be trapped there with Hesper.
He rushed into this place that had collapsed. Before the aftershock ended, the emergency response
team wouldn’t be able to come in.
Only Isaac, his team, and Rickard came in.
After digging through the rubble, the roof was loosened and might collapse further, and a piece of the
collapsed wall hit the back of his head.
The cut behind Hesper’s back was still bleeding and it didn’t look promising. She had to be sent to the
hospital to stop it as soon as possible.
Rickard’s tone scared the woman who didn’t dare speak up again. He didn’t seem to want to hurt
Ads by PubFuture Hesper, so she just quietly followed him.
The sky was turning brighter and the way out wasn’t blocked. Rickard managed to bring her out from
the rubble.
“Ma’am!”
Isaac and the team walked out of the rubble without finding anything and saw Rickard with Hesper in
his arms.
“Mr. Duval…” Benji rushed over when he saw Rickard. He was relieved when he saw the two teams
and immediately fell to the floor.
Hesper felt that she had been sleeping for a long time. There were a few times when she felt that she
was in the hospital, but she just couldn’t muster enough strength to open her eyes.
“The doctor said that she’s not in critical condition, but she lost a lot of blood. Her wound was exposed
to too much dust and got infected,” Isaac reported into the phone and Hesper realized that it was to
Matthew.
“You’re coming over now?”
Ads by PubFuture Hesper smiled sadly… She had to trouble him.
This time she lost the need to fall back asleep. She slowly opened her eyes, and the light made her
squint, then she opened them wide.
“…Isaac.”
Isaac hung up and immediately heard her voice, so he walked over to her bed.
“You’re finally awake! You’ve been sleeping for three days. Mr. Lane was going to lose his mind if you
didn’t wake up!”
Isaac exaggerated and Hesper was dazed. She didn’t realize that she had been sleeping for that long.
When she remembered that she saw Rickard before losing consciousness, she gurgled her words.
novelbin“Rickard…” Hesper wanted to ask how he was, but Isaac’s expression turned awkward and started
stuttering. She guessed that it wasn’t an illusion and Rickard was actually there.
“You just woke up so don’t strain your mind. I’ll go get the doctor.” Isaac turned and walked out. Hesper
had been sleeping for so long, so the pain was no longer there. She propped herself up and grabbed
the phone on the table next to her.
She didn’t have a good signal when she was in Salt City and her phone was on silent. She didn’t hear
the phone calls and messages from Rickard, so there were hundreds of notifications.
“That’s so stupid. He was willing to sacrifice his life to prove himself?”
