Chapter 1128

The events on the other side remained unknown to Hesper. The next morning, she checked the quantity of medicine near the door and realized that her hopes from the previous night were merely wishful thinking. There would be no miracles. "Ms. Rivera…" One of the young members from the Savatiers approached Hesper, looking hesitant as he gazed at the medicine before letting out a sigh. "What should we do with all this medicine? If we continue like this for another week, it'll all go to waste." Hesper's hope now rested with Keith and the others. She was certain that in just three days, the medicine's effects would kick in, and their elders would recover. Once the rest of the families saw the results, they would naturally come seeking the medicine. However, relying on others felt too risky, and Hesper was not accustomed to putting her hopes in someone else's hands. "I'll be going out. You stay here and keep watch," Hesper said, turning around. Ranfik had invited Camille for a date that day, and Hesper had decided to accompany her. Even if she could not meet Ranfik, she wanted to meet his subordinates. "You're coming with me?" Camille was surprised at Hesper's suggestion but quickly understood the reason, recalling the previous day's events. She nodded. "But Ranfik hardly ever shows up. Even if we go together, we probably won't see him." "That's fine." Meeting Ranfik was not her primary objective. She simply wanted to know what he was up to now. Was all of this just for revenge against her, or was there more to it? It seemed a bit extravagant for him to keep spending so much money when the Mustafas were currently generating no income by giving the medicine for free. Furthermore, considering Nathaniel's involvement in the collaboration, it was highly improbable that he would reveal his cards without reaping any benefits. Being an exceptionally astute individual, the numerous experiences and upheavals he had encountered must have honed his strategic prowess even further. But what exactly was Ranfik after? Hesper followed beside Camille, keeping a low profile. However, on the island, there was hardly anyone who did not recognize Hesper, let alone Ranfik's subordinates. They found it strange to see her there. "How did Mr. Mustafa know that Ms. Rivera would come today?" one of them wondered, but he quickly seized the moment when Hesper and Camille were not paying attention to send a message to Ranfik. Then, he turned back to the two women and said, "Ms. Rivera, Ms. Moreau, today's plan is to try on wedding dresses." 'Wedding dresses? They've reached this stage already?' Hesper was a bit stunned, but whatever arrangements Ranfik had made had nothing to do with her. She just needed to follow it, so she proactively said, "Don't worry about me. I'm just here to take a look." After uttering those words, Hesper seemed to fade into the background, following the others to the designated place for trying on wedding dresses. This was not the first time Hesper had been in such a place, but perhaps due to the prior arrangements made by the Mustafas, the atmosphere felt unusually solemn, making her slightly uncomfortable. "Ms. Rivera, I heard that you haven't had a wedding ceremony with Rickard yet. Would you like to try on a wedding dress?" A designer approached under the dim lighting. Camille turned to look at Hesper, who raised an eyebrow and nodded in response. "Sure." Camile was taken aback, as she did not expect Hesper to readily agree to such a request. Was there a special reason behind her decision? "Camille, you should go ahead."
