A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love

Chapter 515

Hesper closed her eyes for a moment.

‘How could I forget about this? Julian was obviously being manipulated before, but I completely

overlooked that when he reappeared in front of me. Antellon is Daybreak’s territory, yet Rickard actually

went to snatch them out of their headquarters. He probably took a great risk for that.’

...

Rickard sat on the bed and frowned.

The documents in his hand fell to the ground. Rickard clenched his weak hand, closed his eyes, and

took a deep breath.

When Matthew walked into the ward, he saw Rickard was about to bend down to pick up the papers on

the floor and stepped forward to pick them up for him. "Why are you still try to put on a tough façade?

Didn’t the doctor tell you not to move?"

Rickard took the document from him.

"If it weren't for Hesper’s sake," Matthew said awkwardly, "I wouldn’t even care about your life. If you

were to die here, Hesper would certainly feel guilty for it."

Hearing this, Rickard paused. "Oh, would she?"

Matthew clenched his fists. If it weren’t for the fact that a punch might kill Rickard, Matthew would have

shown no mercy that day.

"As soon as Hesper’s leg injuries recover, you should bring her away from here." Rickard’s voice

sounded emotionless. "I’m the cause of her leg injuries, so just consider it as my way of compensating

her."

"Do you really think her legs are all that you owe her?" Matthew asked.

"What, should I kneel in front of her and beg for her forgiveness?" Rickard replied.

When Hesper was pushed to the ward by Professor Miles, she saw Matthew and Rickard glaring at

each other as if a fistfight was imminent.

"...Ahem, ahem."

When Hesper cleared her throat twice, the two men looked up at the same time with different emotions

on their faces. Hesper did not expect the two of them to be so uniform. Professor Miles pushed her in

and closed the door behind him.

"Aren’t you two going to say something now? You just wouldn’t stop asking me how Hesper was doing

before, but now you don’t even dare to speak when you see her in person?" Professor Miles ignored

the awkward atmosphere completely. "You can see that Hesper is doing very well now. If nothing

special happens, she’ll recover a lot sooner than Rickard."

Only then did Rickard realize. ‘Didn’t I tell him to not tell Hesper about my poisoning?’

"How do you expect me to hide it from her?" Professor Miles seemed to know what Rickard was going

to say, so he started the conversation straight away. "She heard everything that Julian said when he

confronted me that day."

Rickard looked at Hesper, who lowered her gaze.

"Mr. Lane, can you come out with me for a bit?" Professor Miles said. "I have something to talk to you

about."

"Me?" Matthew frowned. "Sir, you can say anything to me here. You’ve cured Hesper’s legs, so that

makes you a benefactor of the Lanes. If you have any requests, just name them."

Professor Miles pulled Matthew away. "It’s not as easy for me to bring the topic up in here. Just come

out with me..."

Dragging the confused man out, Professor Miles could not help but think deep down, ‘This young man NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

may look smart, but he can he be very slow-witted!’
