Chapter 1121

No matter what the outcome might be… * The next morning, Hesper first had someone deliver medicine to Shun at the Rikihisas' villa, then she prepared to visit Pierette. As the number of people seeking treatment from Hesper continued to grow, it was becoming impractical for her to personally oversee each case for one or two months. If she did so, she would have no time left for anything else on the island. Saving lives would become her lifelong commitment, lasting until she turned eighty. Therefore, after confirming that Shun's condition was stable, Hesper decided to no longer visit him in person. She believed that Pierette was currently imprisoned in another form within the Savatiers, so before meeting her, Hesper sought Quincey's approval. After being away for some time, Rickard returned and obtained the key to Pierette's room. "You can go there anytime from now on," Rickard said, handing over the key to Hesper. During this period, all the good things that happened within the Savatiers was all thanks to Hesper. Naturally, Quincey would not forget his promise to her. Knowing that it was Hesper's need, he did not say much and simply gave her the key. Hesper accepted the key without feeling surprised and nodded. "Let's go now." Pierette's residence was quite far from the main residence, and by the time they reached this point, there were hardly any more houses around. Hesper suddenly remembered that the last time she came to such a remote place was when she was deceived by Ranfik. "What's the matter?" Rickard's voice suddenly sounded from beside her, bringing Hesper back to her senses. She shook her head and said, "Nothing, I just suddenly thought of Ranfik." Realizing that Rickard might misinterpret her words, Hesper turned her head. Just when she was about to explain to Rickard, she saw there was nothing but calmness in Rickard's eyes as if telling her that he had not misunderstood anything. "When he was impersonating my father, he took me to a very remote place. This place is similarly remote, and I've never been here before, so it just reminded me of that," Hesper said. Speaking of this, she suddenly realized that she still did not know who had been imprisoned there before and who that person was. However, it was not necessary to dwell on such distant matters now. After all, they were about to meet Pierette soon. According to Sherese, Pierette and Brigette had already been living together for as far back as she could remember, but Rickard did not have any particular memories of Pierette. "Pierette is a greedy and cunning person. Be cautious when you meet her," Sherese said with a solemn expression when she learned that Hesper was going to see Pierette. "Do not trust a word from Pierette. If she tries to play the victim, then you can't believe anything that follows." If Pierette really was someone who was full of lies, could Hesper manage to extract any information about her father from her? Hespern pursed her lips. She had come this far, so she would not allow herself to return empty-handed. With determination, she used the key to unlock the door and pushed it open. Entering the room, she saw Pierette lounging by the fireplace, resembling a certain creature at ease on a reclining sofa. It was truly difficult to imagine such a person being a master of deception. The Savatiers were all strikingly good-looking, with Juliette being quite pretty. However, Pierette possessed an additional charm, perhaps because she lacked Juliette's innocence, appearing more sophisticated. As Hesper hesitated for a moment, Rickard's voice rang out behind her. "She isn't asleep."
