Soon after that, the assistant standing behind Matthew said in a slightly anxious tone, “Mr. Lane, the cal
ler said
they have information about your sister but we don’t even know if it’s true. We’ve been waiting for so lo
ng but he’s still nowhere to be seen.”
Matthew didn’t speak but squinted.
His youngest sister went missing ten years ago and the Lanes had tried everything they could to find h
er. Now that he had finally got some information, he rushed over from Emperion.
He had to find his sister even if it was false information!
Hesper was tired from walking around but she didn’t want to go back and face those people, so she
picked a cafe and ordered a coffee so she could rest. What she didn’t notice was that there were two s
ketchy men sitting behind her seat.
One of them tapped her shoulder. “Miss, I think you dropped some money.”
”
Hesper looked down and saw a hundred dollars, but she only had a few dollars in cash, and the rest w
ere on her phone.
“That’s not mine.” However, it was too late. The moment
she looked away, the other man had dropped a pill into her coffee. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
The white pill immediately dissolved in the hot drink and Hesper took a sip without suspecting anything.
The men looked at each other and smirked.
A few minutes later, Hesper started sweating. “What’s going on? Why is it suddenly so hot?”
The air conditioning was on, but she felt as though she was on fire. It was getting hotter and
she was feeling more and more flustered.
When she got up to leave, the two men immediately followed her.
“Are you alright, ma’am?”
Hesper realized what was going on when she noticed the men. It was probably them!
“I don’t know you. Please don’t follow me!”
Hesper shouted at them while walking toward a crowd and trying to call her emergency contact.
She set it up before; Rickard was her only emergency contact.
“Pick up!” Hesper begged, but the call went unanswered.
The men were
getting closer and closer to her and she had no time to make another call. She immediately screamed.
“Help! Someone is following me!”
Passersby looked around and the men immediately started acting. They stood next to her and said, “Pl
ease. don’t throw a tantrum here. I won’t force you to have another baby, alright? Please come home w
ith me!”
“Stay away from me, I don’t know you!”
Hesper tried to free herself but the pill stripped her of energy and she was held tight by the two men.
They started pulling her away while looking distraught. “Please come back with us! Dad and mom told
me that it’ll be my responsibility to produce a male heir to the family, so
you can live freely with my brother and your daughter now!”
Everyone started muttering. “It’s because of children…‘
Hesper tried to explain herself, but they stealthily covered her mouth and dragged her into an
elevator. Once the door closed, Hesper lost hope.
