When Rickard raised his head to look at Benji, he hastily composed himself and said, "There is a
message from the people in the hospital. Ms. Deschamps has already woken up, and she's in a stable
condition now. But… It seems like she still can't remember anything from the past."
"I see," Rickard replied, nodding. After a while, he said, "It's a good thing that she can't remember
anything now. She should probably stop trying to regain her memories if this was the case."
Benji nodded. He had already given the note he picked up from the floor yesterday to Rickard. When
Rickard saw the handwriting on the note, he frowned.
He was pretty sure that the message on the note was written by Professor Miles.
It appeared that Hestia had encountered Professor Miles, but he did not reveal his identity or offer any
hints. Instead, he discreetly placed a note in Hestia's pocket, hoping that she would discover it on her
own at some point.
[The answer is in your memory.]
The sentence seemed like it did not say anything on the surface, but in reality, it had revealed a lot of
information, such as what Hestia was investigating. Professor Miles knew about the truth, and perhaps
Hestia herself knew about it too.
This implied that it was interconnected with Hestia, which in turn indicated potential risks. Hestia had
been drawn back into the vortex she had encountered prior to losing her memory. Whether this was her
predetermined fate or someone was orchestrating events from behind the scenes, it would bring harm
to Hestia. Professor Miles was aware of this, so he chose not to reveal the truth to Hestia directly.
Regarding any other possible connections that Hestia might have, Rickard pondered and concluded
that it was likely related to the Deschamps.
"Oh, by the way, rumors about you and Ms. Deschamps have spread on the internet, but there haven't
been any provocative comments or movements from the Deschamps. They've been unusually quiet,"
Benji added. Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
Benji felt that something was off. According to the rumors, the Deschamps were extremely fond of and
favored Hestia, but no one from the Deschamps had stepped forward to handle this matter. It appeared
that Charles did not really love Hestia as he seemed on the surface. Even with Matthew and the Lanes,
it was Rickard who called them and appeased their anger.
"Keep monitoring the movements of all parties. We've already made quite a sacrifice this time. If we
can't find any valid evidence, we'll lose too much," Rickard said, unconsciously tapping the desktop
with his index finger. "As for Hestia... I won't go over there."
"Okay." Benji nodded, turned around, and left the office to do Rickard's bidding.

Meanwhile, Hestia had just come out of the hospital and still felt a little bit awkward.
Although the best way to learn more about Julian was to ask Rickard, it took a lot of courage for Hestia
to go to the Duval Group amid the chaos that was going on online.
"Don't hesitate anymore. Reputation isn't that important at all," Jessie said as she patted Hestia's
shoulder. "Right now, it should be Nathaniel who has the most problems. But I can't believe that he
didn't come and visit you when you were in the hospital. It seems like I was wrong about him."
As soon as Jessie had finished talking, a car stopped in front of the hospital, blocking their way. Hestia
turned around to look at Jessie before turning back to the luxury car in front of her. She then pitched
her voice low and asked, "Did you book this car?"
"Huh?" Jessie shook her head in confusion. "Didn't you say you were going back alone? I didn't even
contact Kenji…"
