Hesper was a little speechless, but she was directly picked up by Rickard in the next second.
Hesper was so astonished that she almost exclaimed, but if she and Rickard were to be seen in this
posture, nothing she said would be able to clear her name, so she could only glare at Rickard with wide
eyes.
“The injury on your legs has recurred. I forecast that it’ll rain tomorrow.”
Rickard hugged Hesper in his arms as if she was a child, strode into her room, and gently placed her
on the bed. “Did you bring your painkiller with you? And be honest with me, did you ram into something
just now?”
Hesper blinked a few times in a row.

words shouldn’t come out of his mouth.’
“Why are you looking at me?”
“How can you be so shameless?” Hesper turned her head away, and said awkwardly, “The injuries on
my leg are thanks to you, so why put on a show in front of me and try to sympathize with me now?”
Hearing this, Rickard lowered his gaze. “Yes, it’s all my fault.”
Hesper did not expect Rickard to admit his mistake so directly. In fact, something had been clearly
wrong with Rickard ever since she met him in Fredonia. It was as if he was a different person.
“Will apologies cover everything that you did to me in the past? Will my legs get better only because
you apologized to me? Or do you think this will undo everything you did to lie to me before this?”
Hesper closed her eyes. “Rickard, you’re so despicable from time to time.”
1 got scolded again.’
Rickard sighed lightly.
“Hesper, although this isn’t the first time you’ve wronged me, I still feel that I must explain the matter to
you.”
Turning Hesper’s face over, Rickard continued to explain seriously, “The last time I left Zoya with you, I
traveled here to Fredonia by myself. I didn’t come here because of the organization Daybreak, but
because there’s a doctor here who claimed that he can treat your leg injury. I followed his tracks here
and just so happened to find out that he might have something to do with Daybreak.”
With Rickard clamping her chin with his fingers and forcing her to look at him, Hesper had to stare
straight into his eyes, so she could only curl her lips. “What does this have to do with you deliberately
sending Zoya to me? Even if your original intention was to find a doctor for me, Zoya still managed to
hurt Renfrew and me, didn’t she?”
Rickard frowned, then slowly shook his head.
“Zoya is Renfrew’s mysterious friend. You should know that, right? Renfrew once told me that his
friends would never hurt him no matter what. I’d never seen that kind of certainty beaming from
Renfrew’s eyes before, so I also chose to trust him.
“During that period, I asked Benji to keep an eye on Zoya. If she wanted to harm you, we would’ve
taken her away before you knew it… Apart from that, you have to admit that Zoya didn’t do what she
did because she wanted to harm you, but because she lost her cool as soon as she saw Roberto,
right?”
Hesper remained silent for a moment.
In fact, what Rickard said was right, and Hesper knew that deep down, but Rickard did use her,
whether it was with good intentions or bad ones.
“Then what about you deleting my messages?” Hesper lifted her gaze, and the coldness in her eyes
remained undiminished.
‘What I can’t accept the most was this matter. During that time, I actually changed my mind about him,
but because of jealousy, this man actually deleted the last few messages that Julian had sent me. If it
wasn’t for Nathaniel’s timely discovery, I would’ve been an accomplice in killing Julian.”
However, Rickard frowned. “What messages are you talking about? Since when did I delete your
messages?”
The heavy doubt flashing in Rickard’s eyes did not seem fake. Hesper thought of something deep
down, but she still said with an indifferent expression, “Back then, when I went to visit Grandpa and left
with Aunt Curie for a short while, you went into my phone, didn’t you?”
Instead of losing his head, Rickard scoffed.
“Hesper Rivera, in your eyes, am I the kind of person who would check someone else’s cell phones
when they’re not around?”
