Zoya left after she had gotten what she wanted. Looking at her back, Hestia felt that the girl's skirt
looked very familiar. It was as if she had seen it somewhere before.
Hestia felt a bit disoriented after the collision, and Rickard picked up on her discomfort. He stepped
forward to assist her, and this time Hestia was too weak to resist, so she allowed Rickard to help her
into the car. NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
"Are you feeling a headache?" Rickard asked.
Hestia nodded, but she remained silent. Rickard did not ask further and simply said, "Can you still go
pick up the person?"
Leaving Jessie at Vivienne's place was not an option, and Jessie was quite shaken up from what
happened just now. If Hestia did not go, Jessie's situation might get worse.
With that thought in mind, Hestia gritted her teeth and nodded without hesitation. "Yes, we're going."
"You should get a doctor to take a look at you later," Rickard responded. After he placed Hestia on the
back seat, he went to the front and started the engine.
Finally, they picked up Jessie, and Hestia breathed a sigh of relief. Jessie had already woken up not
long after Hestia left. When she saw Rickard, she tugged at Hestia's sleeve in a guarded manner.
"Do you know who he is?"
Hestia nodded. "My ex-husband."
Rickard was stumped.
After dropping off Hestia and Jessie, Rickard glanced at Hestia and realized that her complexion had
turned better. He did not say much and reminded her to get a doctor to take a look at her.
"Doctor? What happened?" Jessie looked at Hestia worriedly. It was the first time someone had cared
about her like this. Hestia stood stiffly in place for a moment before clearing her throat.
"It's nothing. I just hit my head during a collision just now. I've gotten a lot better now."
Jessie nodded in return. After Rickard left, she tugged at Hestia's sleeve cautiously and said, "Although
you've forgotten a lot of things, you shouldn't fall in love with Rickard again. He doesn't deserve you."
Hestia raised her brows. Jessie seemed a little bit more cheerful than the first time she met her.
Perhaps this was how she interacted with Hesper.
After settling Jessie, Hestia finally had the time to carefully go through the information she had received
that day. Although she had already determined her target, she had not yet analyzed the information in
detail.
Why did the previous generation of the Sulzbachs either die or disappear?
To say it was a simple coincidence would be too unrealistic, especially considering the fact that so
many people had been lost one after another. Rather than calling it a coincidence, it was more like a
curse.
But of course, Hestia did not believe it was something like a curse or fate. She carefully checked the
information about the Sulzbach and found that the first to die was the original heir of the Sulzbachs.
As time went on, those who died or disappeared one after another were all designated heirs of the
Sulzbachs.
One could argue that it was the power struggle within the family that led to the mutual killings. However,
the only thing that did not fit was the fact that the father of Ehren and Silvan did live until the end, but
he had a short tenure as the head of the family. Moreover, he himself did not like to plot and scheme.
When he had to manage the Sulzbach, he neglected his duties and even had his subordinates handle
the daily documents.
Having gone through the material with a throbbing headache, Hestia let out a sigh and massaged her
temples. Though the discomfort from the collision in the car had somewhat subsided, she still found
herself with strange images hastily flashing through her mind, each accompanied by unfamiliar
emotions that flickered by and disappeared without a trace.
