Chapter 1091

"Don't worry, I'll be by your side." * Early the next morning, Hesper woke up. Perhaps because she had slept early the night before, or maybe because she still had pressing questions in her mind, she quickly freshened up and went alone to the main residence without waiting for Rickard. "Grandpa." Quincey responded from inside, and Hesper pushed open the door, entering the room. "You really can't wait for a single moment, huh," Quincey said, seemingly unsurprised that Hesper would come at this time. He sighed with a hint of helplessness. "I don't know where your impatience comes from. People with impatient personalities usually don't achieve much. You repeatedly defy my expectations." Hesper did not pay much attention to Quincey's words. She went straight to the point and asked, "What exactly happened?" There was no need to waste time. If something had indeed happened, she wanted to know in advance so she could prepare herself. Hesper disliked being caught off guard by disasters and unexpected events. It was better to know ahead of time and mitigate risks. Quincey sighed and struggled to speak. "We suddenly received news from Pierette. She's coming back." 'Pierette? Isn't that the name of his deceased eldest daughter? She's coming back? Does that mean she never died in the first place? Did she just leave the Savatiers or the island?' Hesper was truly stunned by this news. After all, in her mind, Pierette had long been a dead person. "What's the problem with her coming back?" Hesper furrowed her brows and asked, "You already knew that her death wasn't real. Is she not on the island now?" To Quincey's surprise, Hesper had pieced together part of the truth with just a few sentences. He nodded and said, "I've always known that Pierette didn't die back then, but I never expected her to want to return to the island. I had no news of her for many years. I even thought she was truly dead." Hesper detected a complex mix of emotions in Quincey's voice. Suddenly, she realized something. "You wanted her dead? What did she do? Why did she leave this island, and why did she fake her death?" Quincey maneuvered his wheelchair to the window and gazed at the emerging dawn outside. After a moment, he sighed. "Do you remember, it was the Savatiers that initially spread hallucinogenic drugs. And the first person from the Savatiers who fell victim to the drugs was Pierette. She was the origin of the hallucinogenic drugs." Hesper was greatly shocked by this revelation. * Meanwhile, in Fredonia, Sherese fixed her composed gaze on Pierette as she threw a letter in front of her. "Have you gone mad? How could you write a letter to the island and ask them to take you back?" Pierette had always been arrogant in front of others, but when facing Sherese, she appeared somewhat timid. After all, Sherese resembled her mother too much. Every time she saw her, Pierette could not help but think of that person. "I'm just going home. What's wrong with that?"
