Riley didn't think much about it. He shook his head, then left the room.
013 stood up and removed the cloth covering the mirror and looked at his reflection. It felt different from
when he was in slumber. In the past half a year, he felt like a bystander watching the main personality
living his life.
They were two different people.
It could be because of Julian's medication, but he could remember what the main personality went
through, and that made him feel lost. Was he really needed? Wasn't he supposed to add value to this Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
body?
013 shook his head. "You won't sway me…" Hesper Rivera must die.

After Rickard replaced a new bouquet in Hesper's bottle, he didn't hurry to leave. Instead, he stood
there and zoned out.
Hesper would be going into surgery the next day. Even though the doctor said that the success rate
was high, Rickard was still worried. He didn't know when he started worrying about losing her.
If Hesper's legs were healed, he could come clean about his identity. He wouldn't ask for her
forgiveness, but he didn't want to continue lying to her, using a different name.
Their relationship started because of a mistake that he was trying to reverse. He wanted to start
everything with her again instead of furthering the mistake.
He didn't want to lie to her about his current identity, but he was worried that if she found out that he
was behind this, she would reject the treatment.
"Mr. Duval…"
Rickard turned around and saw the doctor leaning on the top of the wall, calling out to him with an
anxious look. "There's no time to think. Hesper is missing!"
"What?" Rickard frowned and walked around the wall.
The doctor said, "I usually text her to confirm the time. She should have finished work by now, but I
haven't heard back from her."
The doctor showed the text to him. He took a look, then turned around. "You should head home. I'll get
someone to look for her and keep you updated."
"Alright."
The doctor grabbed his shoulder. "Wait, there's something I need to tell you. She…"
"We need to find Hesper first." Rickard made a call and told the doctor nothing else mattered more,
then turned around and left.
The doctor stood there and sighed. "Why wouldn't the young man listen to me? I wanted to tell you that
she knows it's you. It's supposed to be an open-book exam, but now I guess you'll have to make your
own guesses."
When Benji got the call from Rickard, he arranged for the men to start looking.
Since Hesper was abducted in the past, and since Daybreak was very active in Antellon, Rickard
already had an emergency plan. Benji sighed as he pinched the bridge of his nose and looked out the
window.
"Please come back safely, Ms. Rivera… Or someone else might lose their mind."
