A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love

Chapter 608

Matthew arrived at Genecity the next day. The only thing that didn't go smoothly was that he didn't see

his grandpa. Theodore brought him back to his place the day before, and Simon was nowhere to be

found.

Even though Matthew had reason to believe his family members were avoiding him, he still kept his

secret. However, when he saw Rachael, he could no longer look as happy as he used to be.

He didn't know if 'Rachael Lane' at home even knew if she was the imposter. He could forgive her if NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

she was forced into it, but she knew she wasn't the real deal, yet she did so much to harm Hesper…

Matthew would make her pay.

Hesper was nowhere to be seen at the airport, only Renee was there. Matthew curiously asked,

"Where's Hesper?"

"She's unwell…"

Renee didn't expect Hesper to fall sick at this crucial time. Dianthe didn't know what to do. Hesper was

fine the day before, but when she woke up the next day, she had a high fever.

Frowning, Matthew said, "Is she still staying at the apartment?"

"Yes," Renee replied. "We were planning to move to a new place after Ms. Bayless came over, but we

didn't have the chance to."

The two went to the apartment. When Matthew saw Hesper, he frowned but didn't speak.

Dianthe was cooking soup in the kitchen. Since she had never stepped into the kitchen in her life, so

she was considered a genius just by not setting the place on fire.

Dianthe felt guilty when she saw Matthew, but he didn't look affected. That meant he had already

known she was there; perhaps the whole world knew where she went after she ran away from home.

As Matthew walked into the room, Renee walked to Dianthe and said, "Please take a rest, Ms. Bayless.

I'll take care of the kitchen… I've ordered take out. It'll get here soon."

Matthew walked into the room and realized the blinds were drawn. Hesper, who lay in bed, sat up when

she saw him. She didn't look sick.

"Hesper…" Before he could finish, he saw her shaking her head. Then she shook the note and pen in

her hands.

Matthew understood. He walked over to feel her forehead and confirmed that she didn't have a fever.

"How could you suddenly fall sick? I was away for just a few days…"

Hesper smiled then scribbled something on the paper.

Hesper: I'm just pretending to be sick. The room is bugged.

Matthew looked up in shock. Hesper shook her head then continued scribbling.

Hesper: We can keep the listening devices. I've checked and there aren't any surveillance devices.

Matthew: Did Nathaniel do this?

Hesper nodded. That was why she hadn't used her phone. If Nathaniel and his team were monitoring

her apartment, Myriade would have a way of hacking into her phone.

Matthew: Why are you pretending to be sick?

Hepser lowered her gaze, then replied after some hesitation.

Hesper: Renfrew is vulnerable right now. If I'm 'sick', the attention will be on me, and Renfrew will be

safe.
