A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love

Chapter 168

Chapter 168

After five days of being in a coma, Rickard finally woke up.

All inspections showed that Rickard’s condition was very stable. Benji could finally sit down and catch a

breather.

While Rickard was unconscious, he had to continue to run the company. Otherwise, if the news were to

spread through the entire city or even the whole country, the company would crumble into pure chaos.

“How is Hesper doing? Has she woken up?”

The first thing that he did after opening his eyes was to ask about Hesper’s condition, which was within.

Benji’s expectations. So, he reported everything that had happened to Hesper over the past few days

to Rickard.

Knowing that Julie went to Hesper and made a huge fuss again, Rickard rubbed his eyebrows wearily

and asked, “Where is she now?”

Benji cleared his throat and remained silent.

“What happened?”

Facing Rickard’s suspicious gaze, Benji lowered his head and said truthfully, “Ms. Lane abducted

Madam Duval from the hospital and sent someone to the Duvals’ residence to capture Ms. Duval too. I

didn’t dare to send anyone out to stop them, and I still haven’t found their location over the past few

days. So… I don’t really know where they are now.”

This outcome was something that Rickard had not thought about, but after spending some time with

her, he started to understand Hesper’s personality bit by bit.

Although it was difficult for her to let go of the grievances that she was holding against his family,

Hesper had never been the kind of person who would go around, looking to cause some trouble.

“What did my mother do again?”

‘That incident is something that can’t stay hidden forever.”

Benji felt his head aching. He sighed and thought about when he could apply for a few days’ worth of

annual leave and temporarily get himself out of this kind of work environment where he had to worry

about everything, inside out.

‘Ever since Ms. Lane came back to Genecity, Mr. Duval’s personality has changed as if he’s a different

man. Back then, he was only a little elusive, but he’s how not only an elusive but also a capricious

man.. Whenever it comes to anything that relates to Ms. Lane, he could become a man of no principles

at all.”

After reporting all the things that took place around the family in the past few days, Benji escaped from

the ward wearily.

“Benji?”

Isaac was walking towards him. Although Rickard and Hesper’s relationship was rather complicated

and knotty, their work contacts and other personal affairs could not be completely separated, so Isaac

and Benji had since become a little acquainted.

Benji walked over and said, “Mr. Duval has woken up.”

That was not surprising to Issac. If Rickard were to remain unconscious for a few more days, many

things would become even more difficult to deal with. Looking at the disheveled and exhausted look on

Benji’s face, Isaac felt a little sympathetic toward him. “Alright, I’ll go back and report this to Ms. Lane.

should get back to what you were going to do now.”

The news of Rickard regaining consciousness left no effect on Hesper. At least when Isaac told Hesper

the news, he did not see any fluctuations in her mood.

“Nice, right on time. Now that he’s awake, Renfrew won’t be mistreated by the Duvals anymore.”

Renfrew had been staying with Hesper these few days. However, the hospital was not a good place for NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

kids to stay over a long period of time. Aside from that, Hesper could not take care of Renfrew in her

current state too, so keeping the little kid here with her was never a long term solution.

Speaking of the Duvals, Hesper recalled that Julie and Sophia were still locked up in the detached

house. Renee had not sent her any message’s so far, so she had also forgotten about the matter.

“Release them and send them back to the Duvals. If Grandpa were to find out about this, he’ll definitely

be worried.”

Ernest had always been the person that Hesper could not lay her finger on the most in the entire family.

Ernest was the person who treated her best before she met Matthew and Arthur; he was also the

relative who had raised her for more than a decade.

‘If I could’ve waited until Grandpa returned to the Duvals’ residence back then… I’d never have ended

up in such a miserable situation. It was only a few days away.’
