Chapter 556
Juniper had exhausted all her strength after she had finished everything. She sat on the leather seat
and gasped for air.
At the moment, Renfrew was their only chance if they both wanted to survive. When the realization hit
Juniper, she could not help but laugh at herself. If Renfrew did not wake up when they arrived at their
destination, Carter would discover the phone and they'd be done for.
Juniper laughed silently with tears streaming down her face.
It was quite ironic that despite her cunning and belief that she could outmaneuver anyone, her survival
now hinged on a young child who had not even fully developed his teeth yet. The more she thought
about it, the more ridiculous she found it to be.

Amidst everyone's watchful eyes, Hesper abruptly ended her phone call and sped off towards the
apartment where Rickard resided.
"Hesper, please tell us what's going on. We can only help you if we know," Nathaniel implored from the
passenger seat, observing Hesper's abnormal behavior as she struggled to maintain a calm facade
despite her trembling hands. However, this was not a testament to her strength, but rather to her This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
barely-hanging-on state.
Hesper remained silent, biting her lip and shedding tears. Then, at a red light, Nathaniel surprised her
by taking control of the steering wheel, causing her to comply and swerve the car to the roadside. Her
mind reeled from the unexpectedness of Nathaniel's actions.
"Are you mad?! If another car appeared just now, we'd be dead!"
Fortunately, there weren't many cars on the road at night. Hesper's heart pounded rapidly. Nathaniel
looked directly at Hesper and said, "Me? You're the one who's mad. Do you know how fast you were
driving just now?"
Hesper fell silent for a moment and wiped the tears from her face with the back of her hand.
"Renfrew can't wait any longer. He's always been taken good care of since birth. He's the young master
of the Duvals and the apple of Rickard's eye. He's never suffered any injustice." As she spoke,
Hesper's self-blame grew stronger. "How can he handle those people from Daybreak?"
Nathaniel gently patted Hesper's back. A myriad of lights flitted across his black eyes under the
streetlights.
"Renfrew can take care of himself. You don't have to worry too much about him."
Hesper rested on the steering wheel for a few seconds, then her phone suddenly vibrated. She pushed
her messy hair aside and answered the call. It was from Renee. "What? You've found Renfrew?"
Nathaniel looked over at Hesper with a frown. Hesper felt a sudden relief, as if she had been given a
breath of fresh air. She took a few deep breaths to calm down. Her tone also instantly became calm.
"Okay, I'll go back now. Prepare a list of all the deserted areas with buildings."
"They've found him?" Nathaniel asked in surprise.
Hesper nodded in relief. "Fortunately, Renfrew managed to get a hold of a phone from somewhere and
sent Renee his location. Although the phone will probably be discovered soon, the message clearly
indicates that they are close to their destination."
"He's amazing."
