Nathaniel had sure come up with a very good idea. Hesper really did not have much strength to do
anything, no more than when she was drugged before.
"I'll just have to wait until we land before I can figure out a way to escape..." Hesper murmured to
herself, then went back to her bed and tried her best to suppress her nauseousness. "I wonder how
Renfrew is doing now."
In fact, Hesper could not tell what was wrong with her. She was invited to a banquet on a ferry once,
and everything was normal at first, but the moment she stepped onto the deck, what followed was an
oppressive feeling.
That experience had since engraved a subconscious thought in Hesper that boats were a very
dangerous thing, and she also discovered that she could not take a boat. However, compared to the
physical discomfort, Hesper seemed to emotionally hate boating from the bottom of her heart.
In any case, there was no way for her to contact anyone from the outside now, and there was no
feasible way to escape the ship for the time being. Hence, Hesper closed her eyes, trying her best to
ignore the slight rocking, and fell asleep.
‘If I continue to keep myself in this state, I might collapse even before we arrive on land.’
She tried her best and fell asleep eventually. The next time she opened her eyes, they had already
arrived.
It was no longer possible to differentiate whether she was in a coma or asleep. Hesper was not sure
how long she had been sleeping. She only knew that Nathaniel was holding her in his arms when she
woke up. If not for the handgun at his waist, it would have been a rather intimate position.
"Great plan, I’ll give you that." Hesper gritted her teeth. "Put me down. I’m not at my best now, so I
wouldn't be able to escape."
Hearing Hesper’s voice, Nathaniel lowered his head in surprise and smiled. "You’re awake. It’s fine;
we’ll be home soon. You’ll definitely like it there."
Hesper was speechles. She gnashed her teeth at Nathaniel’s indifference, but she did not have the NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
ability to fight back. She did not have men working for her in Fredonia. Rickard and Matthew, for a
while, wouldn't think that she had been brought to Fredonia. She could only let Nathaniel control her for
the time being.
"Big T, it’s time for you to stop this nonsense."
013 had come over at some point. Hesper turned her head and saw 013 frowning, completely ignoring
her, and glancing straight at Nathaniel. "As soon as we lost our headquarters in Halwanest, we were no
longer safe… If the Lanes and the Duvals track us back here, all that we’ve worked so hard to
accumulate over the years will be flushed down the drain."
Nathaniel turned his head, glared at him, and then said with a half-smile, "I’m surprised that you still
remember that I’m Big T of Daybreak."
"Nathaniel Tucker." 013 stretched out an arm and blocked Nathaniel’s way.
Hesper had initially thought that the position that she was in was very annoying, but now that it had
become the best viewing angle, she was happy to watch the excitement from the VIP seat.
Nathaniel ignored 013, walking around him and then straight forward. 013 was left behind, yelling his
name twice, but Nathaniel did not stop for him.
"You’ll regret this."
Hesper looked at Nathaniel’s jawline, which tightened all of a sudden, and felt her heart race.
‘If Nathaniel hands me over to 013 now, I’ll die in just a matter of minutes.’
But Nathaniel still did not stop or utter a single word.
...
Hesper had been locked away in a small manor since then.
The servants in the manor spoke a language that she had never heard of. Nathaniel was aware of all
the languages Hesper knew how to speak, so Hesper could not even talk to anyone in the manor all
this while.
