A Spoonful of Sugar: Don't Beg for Love

Hestia pondered about the identity of the person she would find here. Was it Skylar or Azariah? She also wondered how Myriade came across this information. Following the location, Hestia parked her car in front of a white bungalow. The bungalow looked dilapidated, and the walls seemed like they could collapse at any moment. Hestia got out of the car, frowned, and approached the door to knock.

"Who is it?"

A somewhat haggard voice came from inside, but it had a familiar and firm feel to it. Following her intuition, Hestia directly said her name, "It's Hestia."

The sound of dragging shoes could be heard from inside, and then the door opened. Professor Miles looked a little surprised to see Hesper suddenly appear in front of him. He glanced behind her, confirmed that no one had followed her, and then opened the door to let her in.

"How did you find this place?"

Hestia felt that she knew the man in front of her, but she could not remember his name. She lowered her gaze. Although the old man before her did not look like an ordinary person to her, his age did not match the person that she was looking for. Since Myriade told her that she would find the person she had been looking for here, it meant that there were definitely more people inside than just this old man. "You know Hesper."

This was a statement, and Professor Miles did not deny it. He nodded and said mysteriously, "I knew you'd find this place one day, but now isn't the time for you to come. No matter who asked you to come, you should pretend that you didn't come today."

Hestia didn't like playing guessing games, so she took a step forward and said, "Is it Skylar or Azariah? Are there other people here?"

"... You know more than I imagined." Professor Miles shook his head before saying, "Don't trust too much of what you see now, or the people around you."

"What do you mean?" Hestia frowned. Just as she wanted to ask further, she felt dizzy in the next second and lost consciousness.

Professor Miles caught Hestia as she fainted and let out a sigh. A person slowly walked out of the house behind him, looked at Hestia in Professor Miles's arms and sighed. "Someone has noticed us and this place."

Holding Hestia in his arms, Professor Miles said, "During this period of time, Hestia's memories will slowly return. Our time is running out. If those crazy people find you, your life will become worse than death." The man was silent for a moment. He emerged from the darkness, revealing an excessively beautiful face in the sunlight.

Meanwhile, Jessie had been waiting for Hestia for an hour. She had been watching the door anxiously as she worried that the next person to knock the door would be Nathaniel.

It had been so long that if Hestia wanted to run away, she would have disappeared without a trace, but if she wanted to come back, she should have already returned by now. Jessie did not know whether she should hope for her return or for her to flee far away. At this moment, all that remained in her heart was anxiety.

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door and a voice rang out. "Hessy? Are you ready?"

Hearing Nathaniel's voice, Jessie's heart almost leapt out of her chest.

Just as she was wondering what to do, the person outside the door seemed impatient and pushed the door open...
