Lahat ng Kabanata ng A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love: Kabanata 321 - Kabanata 330

Hesper opened her eyes in the darkness.Time passed in a blur in the dimness. Laying on the ground, Hesper forced her eyes to open, but she could barely see a thing. All she could remember was showing up in front of Seth Tucker's restaurant.The snowflakes were still falling calmly in the night, melting into tiny water droplets as they landed on Hesper's eyelashes, further blurring her already hazy vision and turning the pitch black into a thick layer of fuzz."Ough…"Hesper softly coughed twice. A rustling sound came from beside her, and a beam of light shone on Hesper's face. A moment later, the light moved closer. Hesper turned her head and saw a pair of white sneakers."Ms. Lane, it’s been a while."All the strength in her body seemed to have escaped her. Hesper struggled with all her might to lift her head just to catch a glimpse of the person in front of her. Having always been sensitive to harsh lights, she could barely keep her eyes open. The figure leaned over, with a vo

Although the accuracy of the intel was unconfirmed, since Renfrew said he trusted this "friend", Matthew did not want to risk giving up on the new lead they had."Thank you, Uncle Matt."Renfrew was starting to like this uncle whom he had never met before that day. Anyhow, his top priority now was to find Mommy.Why did Ms. Myriade send him this location with an encrypted password, and how did Ms. Myriade even have this information? Renfrew looked back down at his phone. He sent a bunch of messages to Ms. Myriade, but none of them went through.Renfrew sighed deeply and got into another car with Matthew. Clutching his phone with a heavy heart, hoping that Ms. Myriade—the friend who had been by his side since he could remember—would not lie to him.***The moment Hesper saw the mole, she knew.She had no enemies, nor was she worth any real value to be kidnapped. Thus, this person who targeted her out of nowhere could only be none other than the assassin hired by Juniper.The man

Renfrew kept clutching the corner of Hesper's clothes anxiously. His eyes were swollen red, but he did not want his mommy to worry about him at this moment and instead held his breath."Ren, Mommy is fine. Don't worry."Noticing Renfrew's silence, Hesper knew that he must be frightened sick, but being his sensible self, he tried not to show it. She reached out and held Renfrew's hand.Renfrew let out a muffled hum."I thought it might take you guys a lot longer to get here. There aren't even any landmarks to refer to in these woods. I was just wondering about how I would get out of here."Matthew was speechless as well. He had not thought much on his way over, but the location sent by Renfrew's friend was shockingly accurate. Even in the woods, they still managed to find Hesper's exact location."Renfrew was the one who found out where you were. It was all thanks to him. He was the one who realized you were missing too."Hesper was impressed, yet not entirely surprised. Because

Hesper slept all the way until the next afternoon. When she finally opened her eyes, Renfrew was no longer in her arms."Take a look at these codes again! Do the math and...""Keep it down. Hesper is still asleep.""Sorry, Mr. Lane. I got carried away..."Hesper opened her eyes, feeling muddled, only to find that a bunch of people were circling around a small table nearby. Renfrew was right in the center, frowning at the computer, looking very grownup.Since no one realized that she had woken up, Hesper turned her body sideways and quietly watched what they were up to. The clacking of the keyboard was especially loud in the quiet space. Hesper raised her eyebrows at the sight.According to what she just heard, it seemed Renfrew had an amazing talent."Amazing! I can't believe you know how to do that too! Is this kid really just three years old?""Hush."Hesper wanted to break into laughter, but she held back and listened to Renfrew's solemn reply instead. "I've had my fourth b

Meanwhile, Hesper had completed her physical examination, confirming that she was now safe and healthy. Hesper was ready to be discharged from the hospital and go home with Renfrew.There was still no news from Rickard yet, and Hesper had no idea when he would return. If he never did, maybe it'd be for the best. That way, she could continue living with Renfrew for just a while longer.As she was about to head out, Hesper found herself barricaded at the ward exit by a couple of hackers who worked for the Lanes. They had a glow of excitement in their eyes which Hesper could not comprehend."Ms. Lane... the young master is truly talented. Could you leave him with us so we could teach him... ah, no, I mean..." The bunch of men who had been studying scientific principles all their lives were racking their brains for the right words to say. "We just… we're fond of the young master."Renfrew looked at the big men in front of him with slight disdain. Hesper could pretty much guess that the
