A Spoonful of Sugar: Don't Beg for Love -
Chapter 615
The inability to communicate with the servants meant that Hesper was unable to pick up any information from the outside and could only let herself be imprisoned in this cage that Nathaniel had meticulously
prepared for her.
She could put up with the rest, but Hesper really wanted to know more about Renfrew's condition. However, Nathaniel had not been there since the day he brought her there. Only 013 came by a few times in the past few days, but he was stopped outside the gate.
So in conclusion, Hesper had no way of asking anyone for any information.
Feeling somewhat irritated, she cut off the flowers in the yard along with their buds, and while doing so, Hesper suddenly thought of Stephen.
'If he were to see me wasting all these flowers, he might jump into the air and punch me twice.'
The servant who had been in charge of Hesper's diet and daily life during this period of time came over and looked sincerely at her with a pair of blue eyes as if she was hoping that Hesper would return to her
room.
Hesper knew that these servants were all innocent. They only got paid by Nathaniel to keep her under house arrest. Hence, she would not make things difficult for them on purpose. Seeing this, she stood up and walked into the manor, ignoring the messy yard behind her.
The servant also knew that Hesper could not understand what she was saying, so she gestured and tried to tell Hesper what dishes were served that night. However, Hesper did not have much appetite, so naturally, she did not care much about it.
She only wanted to know how much longer Nathaniel would keep her there.
'Will I be kept here for the rest of my life?'
The servants working in the manor were not allowed to leave the place either. Fresh ingredients would be brought in every day, and Hesper had figured out the regular pattern very early on.
Most of the people who came to deliver ingredients were Carter and the other members of Daybreak, so it was basically impossible for Hesper to leak her current location out through this medium. Unable to think of a way, Hesper could only go back to her room and look out of the manor through the window of the room.
She had been observing the environment around the manor and realized that it was probably located in the east of a certain city, but it was nowhere near the said city. And although this was some vague and obscure information, it was the only information Hesper could get her hands on.
There were a few stalks of celery in the dishes for that night. Hesper picked them out in irritation.
Although she had thought about going on a hunger strike, this naïve plan would only exhaust her strength. She did not have any help in Fredonia at the moment, and the people from Daybreak were everywhere, so even if she were to escape this place by chance, she would definitely be caught again in less than a day.
Things would definitely get more difficult for her then.
After negating several possibilities, Hesper was a little irritable. The more she looked at the celery on the plate, the more unpleasant she found them. However, in the blink of an eye, Hesper remembered something and was stunned. The hand that was picking the celeries out froze in midair for a split second.
'Ever since I found out that Ren is allergic to sweet potatoes, I retested myself and Ren for allergens out of caution and discovered that I'm allergic to peanuts. I've eaten peanuts before, so if it wasn't for that examination, I wouldn't have known that I've become allergic to them... That means even Nathaniel wouldn't know about this.'
When Carter came over at night, it was rare for him to actually run into Hesper.
"Ms. Rivera, is there anything that I can do for you?"
Carter was different from 013. He still had some respect for Hesper, not to mention Nathaniel's intimate attitude toward her. No matter how he looked at it, Hesper was someone Nathaniel wanted to protect, so Carter felt that nothing could go wrong if he were to follow Nathaniel's wish.
Hesper nodded. "I want to eat chestnuts."
"Chestnuts?" Carter reiterated what Hesper just said, frowned, and subconsciously felt that something was wrong.
