novelxo Chapter 500
With Rickard's financial support, finding a suitable surgical location and equipment was not a problem at all. Initially, the mysterious doctor was still thinking about how to deceive Hesper about this issue, but now that she knew everything, it saved him a lot of trouble.
"Alright, let's set it for this Sunday."
Hesper still felt a little bit unreal looking at her own parameters. However, since the surgery date was confirmed, it meant that she would soon recover. Then she would also have more time to think about her relationship with Rickard.
Everything was heading toward the right direction. Hesper felt much happier when she went to work. Even Andris could see that she was in a good mood that day.
"River, what's the matter? You look so happy today."
Hesper was first stunned for a moment. Then she looked at her own reflection through the glass. Unbeknownst to her, the tips of her lips were curving upward and her eyes were lit up with delight. Even though she was still wearing that ordinary face, she looked much more beautiful.
"My legs are going to recover soon. That's why I'm happy," she said.
With that thought in mind, Hesper did not restrain her smile anymore. After printing the mockup, she entered the office, leaving Andris confused and lost in her words.
'Well, it's true that she should be happy since her legs are going to recover soon,' he thought to himself.
Pennleigh walked over and looked at Hesper deeply. From Hesper's expression, it did not seem like she was happy because her legs were going to recover. It was more like a young girl in love. Although Hesper was Pennleigh's only love interest in the past few years, he was very sensitive to these emotions. Even Hesper herself might not realize how happy she looked.
'So, are you back with Rickard again?' he asked inwardly.
Hesper held her phone and sighed after a while. She squinted her eyes as she gazed at the sunlight through the mirror and muttered, "Should I trust him?"
'Should I forgive him?'
Meanwhile, at the grounds of Daybreak.
Inside the room that was painted in white, Riley sat nervously by the bed, looking at the young man with closed eyes lying on it. He reached out and held his hand. "Trez... is that you?" The young man's eyelids trembled before he opened them completely.
"Trez?"
013 narrowed his eyes to adjust to the light. When he felt that Riley was holding his hand, he got annoyed and pulled his hand out of his clutches. "I've told you many times. Don't touch me without my consent. Upon hearing those familiar words, Riley threw himself at 013 and hugged him, choking up quietly. "I thought I would never see you again. Do you know that you almost scared the hell out of me?" 013 fell silent for a moment. Although he was annoyed, he still reluctantly patted Riley's back with his hand to comfort him. "It's all because you believed in Julian. I've told you before, don't make deals with the devil."
Riley rested his head on 013's shoulder and said after a while, "He's also the one who gave the medicine that woke you up. Although he's pretty competent, he's nothing compared to me." "You really are arrogant."
Noticing the slight dissatisfaction in 013's voice, Riley chuckled and straightened his body, as if he was not the one who had just cried on 013's shoulder. He narrowed his beautiful slanted eyes and said, "I'm just stating the truth. Could it be that you don't think so, Trez?"
Without expecting 013 to answer his question, Riley continued, "Now Julian is in my hands, and I'm confident that I can make him do more for us."
As 013 remained silent, Riley leaned in a bit closer and waved his hand in front of 013. "Why aren't you speaking? Is there something wrong with the medicine Julian gave you? Trez?"
"Brother."
Riley was taken aback for a moment. 013 lowered his gaze and said, "It's nothing. It's just that you look ugly when you cry, and your clothes are ugly too. Please get out. I need to change my clothes."
