Jessie spoke in a cold tone at first so that she could keep her promise to Hesper.
However, when she heard how respectful Matthew was, she felt embarrassed and her tone softened.
“I’m sorry, I’m not blaming you… It’s just that I can’t tell you anything about her. I’m so sorry.”
Matthew nodded and didn’t bother her further.
Hesper decided to cut off communications with him so even if he pressed her friend, he wouldn’t be
able to get in touch with her. It was too easy to just disappear. Hesper was a smart woman. She’d find
a way to do it if she wanted to.
“Mr. Lane.”
Matthew suddenly heard Jessie’s hesitant voice right when he was going to hang up. “I… Before
Hesper left, we had a long conversation. She really thinks of you as her brother.”
“I know.”
Jessie paused, then said, “Alright, Mr. Lane. I’m sure you can find her, right? She took a lot of things
into consideration before she left, and she must have struggled before she came to this decision… She
just didn’t want to see you hurt.”
“Alright, I will.”
Matthew hung up then frowned.

which was what Hesper needed.
“So, you asked me to locate that person so you could get their help to avoid your family?”
Hesper heard there were people who could change how people looked in a very short duration, and it
would look as natural as makeup. She was curious because she heard that Roberto knew someone
like that, but she never thought that she would need the service one day.
“Yes, my relationship with the Lanes is complicated… But I don’t want them to find me.” Hesper had
decided to leave Matthew, and her conversation with 013 made her more determined.
The Lanes were a mess now, so before she found out what was actually going on, it was best not to
have any contact with them.
“Alright, if you’ve decided, I’ve made an appointment with my friend for tomorrow. I’ll come and pick you Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
up.”
Hespr nodded.
It was already very late, so Roberto said, “Have a good rest. I’m going to head home… You don’t look
too well. You didn’t sleep on the flight?”
“…Mm.” Hesper nodded and figured that she must have looked exhausted. She did a quick. calculation
and realized that she had been awake for twenty-four hours.
However, she wasn’t sleepy at all, probably because she was too anxious when she was tired, but now
that she was more relaxed, she was tired but not sleepy
