Chapter 200Chapter 200
After Hesper spilled the beans, Xavier fell quiet.
Hesper wasn’t a shy person. If it wasn’t something that she absolutely couldn’t talk about, she wouldn’t
have hidden it. They were just normal people, different from the Duvals, who were important. In
comparison, they were just ants.
Xavier remembered that Hesper didn’t come from the best background, so she must have gone
through à lot living with the Duvals.
“This is a really rare chance.”
After a long pause, Xavier finally sighed and waved his hand to let Hesper leave.
Hesper walked out of the office and looked at the campus grounds, then sighed too.
She knew how rare the opportunity was, but after having an intense struggle with herself, she chose to
give it up. She was too naive in the past. Now that she had come so far, there was no point chasing.
dreams and hobbies.

The right opportunity had come at the wrong time. Life wasn’t perfect; that was reality.
It was late autumn and the leaves had fallen. Stepping on them made a crunching sound. Hesper
walked for a long time with her head hung low before suddenly seeing a pair of feet in front of her.
“Hesper.”
Hesper looked up and was surprised to see Nathaniel smiling at her. “You’re back?”
Nathaniel looked at Hesper, who was before him. She seemed to have lost weight but was as
mesmerizing as ever. She looked like a work of art under the evening sun, a painting worth millions.
Nathaniel had not mentioned that he was coming back, just like how he never mentioned that he was
going abroad, so Hesper was shocked by his sudden appearance. The two friends were reunited.
“Let’s talk while we walk. We can get some local food,” Nathaniel raised his hand and Hesper saw that
he was holding a paper bag, though she didn’t know what was inside. “Here’s a present from Julian to
you. I don’t know what’s inside it.”

but you came empty-handed?”
Nathaniel shook his head. “I did. But do you remember that I mentioned a surprise? I came here for
that.”
They both got into the car. Nathaniel never liked people following him around, so he always drove.
Hesper got into the passenger’s seat and opened the heavy paper bag.
She was utterly surprised by its content. It was a box of medication.
Hesper opened it, and there was a note in Julian’s handwriting.
Julian: This is for Mr. Duval Sr. I remembered this. However, the follow-up treatments will take some
time because I…
How have you been? I miss you. Hesper put away the note because it turned mushy, then looked toward Nathaniel and said, “Why did
you.
suddenly want to go for local food? I haven’t had the chance to have a proper meal yet.”
“I knew you wouldn’t eat properly. I’m going to complain to your brother when I’m back in Emperion.”
Nathaniel seemed to imagine what would happen, and he smiled. “I lived here for a while and never
had the chance to return. It feels like a lifetime ago since I had the food here.”
They talked on the road and soon came to a little restaurant.
