Hesper was recovering and could now get off the bed and walk around. The doctors said that she had
a strong body but didn’t know that Hesper was just used to getting treatment because her body had
gone through a lot.
When she left the Duval Family, she was hurt from head to toe and there were multiple sequelae.
Women’s bodies were at their weakest after giving birth, but Hesper was tortured continuously, and
there were the side effects of jumping off a building. Even when Matthew asked famous doctors from
all over the world for help, her body was never fully healed.
“I’ve given you a full body checkup and realized that there’s a metal plate on your knee. Even though
you’ve recovered quite well, it must hurt when it rains or when it’s cold.”
The doctor looked at the report and didn’t expect her to have so many injuries at her age.
“What is more deadly is that this isn’t a long-term solution. When your knee cap gives way to the
friction, you might not be able to stand anymore.”
Hesper heard that multiple times and no longer had hope.
“That’s sequelae from an accident. Thank you, but I understand,” Hesper said politely. “How long until I
can be discharged?”
Rickard stood outside the room as Renfrew held his hand, not understanding why his father wouldn’t
go in. “Why? Is Mommy busy?”
“…Yes.” Rickard lowered his eyes.

No one knew better than he did about how Hesper was injured.
Once the discussion in the room ended, the doctor got up. “If you keep recovering at the current rate,
you’ll be out in no time. I’ll be excusing myself, Ms. Lane.”
Rickard took a few steps back as the doctor opened the door. The doctor wanted to say something, but
Rickard gestured for him to stay quiet.
“Is there anything else, doctor?”
Hesper got up and walked over to the door but heard the door closing.
The doctor looked at this man standing in front of him and didn’t really understand what was
happening. When Mrs. Duval gave birth, the news about Mr. Duval wanting to ‘save the child’ instead of Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
the mother spread.
It was strictly forbidden for the doctors to ask if they should save the mother or the child, but it was the
Duvals, so the doctor had to follow his orders and focus on saving the baby even if it meant sacrificing
the mother.
Ms. Lane’s survival impressed a lot of people, but the people who knew what happened knew that it
wasn’t easy for Hesper to get so far.
“Is there no way… to save her leg?”
The doctor was honest. “The local doctors wouldn’t be able to, but the top surgeons might be able to
help.”
Rickard nodded, then let the doctor be on his way.
“Does mommy’s leg hurt?”
Renfrew looked up at his father’s stoic expression. To him, death and sickness was a foreign concept,
so
he didn’t understand what the doctor said.
Rickard rubbed his head but didn’t speak.
