How Death Became My Rebirth novel Chapter 288

Chapter 288 

Hugo confirmed it repeatedly and asked seriously, “Are you sure only these two are left?” 

Theodore was a little confused because Hugo had already asked him three times. He finally gave up. “Hugo, how about this? You have to transport the herbs from Clusia, anyway. Just transport all of them on the list.” 

Because even Theodore was not sure whether only the two herbs were left after Hugo asked him repeatedly. 

Theodore thought, ‘Just get another set. I’m rich enough, anyway. We can handle the rest afterward. 

‘Hugo asked me like that must be because Cassie was getting impatient. 

‘Now Zosteylor is in a turbulent situation. If I can send Cassie to a safe place as soon as possible, I’ll do it at once. 

‘But Mom only has three months left. She didn’t have more time to wait. 

‘Sorry, Cassie.” 

Hugo ignored what Theodore said and called someone to transport the herbs. 

After finishing arranging everything, he was about to report it to Cassandra. The preparation could start, and the herbs would definitely arrive tomorrow. 

However, Darren stopped Hugo halfway. 

“Hugo, I have something to ask you.” Then Darren grabbed Hugo’s arm and walked toward another room. 

“Wait, Mr. Yates. What are you doing?” Hugo was forced to go with Darren. He was a little confused. 

He thought, “Is he gonna kidnap me again?” 

The room wasn’t the Queen’s bedroom. It looked like a study. 

Leanna was sitting at the desk seriously, waiting for them to arrive. When she saw Hugo, she immediately stood up.

She walked up to Hugo and bowed slightly. Her voice was a little tired and hoarse, “Hugo, I’m sorry for calling you here.” 

Darren let go of his hand holding Hugo’s arm. Hugo patted his clothes angrily and said in an impolite tone, “Your Majesty, Mr. Yates, why do you want to see me?” 

Hugo couldn’t be polite to Cassandra’s father at all. He had forgotten about all his 

manners. 

“Hugo, I’d like to ask you about Cassie’s previous life. Don’t worry. I won’t be so eager to reunite with her anymore. I just want to know how she was before.” 

Leanna’s tone was humble, with pleading and expectation, and her eyes also looked quite sincere. 

Leanna had learned everything from Darren. She knew that Cassandra didn’t live well before. However, the information on the Internet was unilateral. She thought that Hugo must know more since he had been working for Cassandra for so many 

years. 

Leanna thought, ‘If… If I really owe her that much…” 

Perhaps it was because he was old, Hugo couldn’t stand that kind of sincere eyes. 

Hugo asked uncertainly, “Are you sure you’ll not disturb or force Ms. Yates anymore? If you push it too hard, she will not be able to bear it.” 

Darren reached out his left hand, made a swearing gesture, and promised, “Don’t worry. It will never happen again. If not, I won’t be able to see Cassie again for the rest of my life.” 

Hugo thought, “That’s what I want. 

“We’re enough for Ms. Yates. 

“I can tell you, but you must keep your promise, Hugo warned them. He thought, ‘Even if I can’t take Ms. Yates, out of this Queen’s Palace, other people can. If they upset her again, we can destroy this place. 

“Sure,” Leanna answered directly. 

Hugo sat up straight and said slowly as if he was recalling something, “When I first met Ms. Yates, she was less than 11 years old, and she was really thin and light.

Blossom also didn’t have much time left at that time. 

“Ms. Yates was malnourished and growing up, but she took all the good things at home to the hospital…” 

Hugo was lost in his memory. Cassandra was young but so stubborn back then. She spent all the money borrowed from Lucas and also made some achievements with what she studied hard. Sylvia sold her first design draft for 200 thousand dollars, but Sylvia provided 120 thousand dollars. 

Hugo felt distressed for such a stubborn child. He was alone all his life and was even hunted by others, so he already didn’t wanna stay alive. But then fate let him meet Cassandra. She was so poor but still had to take care of her sick grandmother and Jeremiah who was growing up. 

He couldn’t imagine how Cassandra got through all the hard times. Therefore, he made up his mind to take care of her as his family. 

Cassandra was very defensive and vigilant against everyone. It took Hugo nearly a year to gain her trust. It was because Blossom passed away, and Cassandra had no family left. Hugo’s company gradually softened her heart. 

Hugo had seen Cassandra suffer too much all these years. Once, the people who were hunting him went to Rootland Village. Hugo was seriously injured and Cassandra cured him. At that time, she hadn’t learned any fighting skills yet, but. from then on, she had one more thing to learn, melee combat. 

It was also since then that Hugo had regarded Cassandra as his little master. 

After Blossom passed away, Cassandra still didn’t give up looking for her family. She wanted to reunite with them. So when she learned that Benjamin was her father, she used Modern Beacon Synergy to double the market value of Yates. Group. 

She also knew about Yulissa, so she wanted to be like her and be a child who was loved by her family. Then she gave up everything and went back to the Yates family. 

However, Cassandra came back in two months and became even more indifferent than before. 

Darren and Leanna listened to all these silently. They knew that the story could be
