During childbirth, she suffered from excessive bleeding and her life was at stake. Her mother-in-law made a huge fuss outside the delivery room. “Save my precious grandchild!” She watched as her husband looked at her coldly and said to the doctor mercilessly, “Save the baby.” She was heartbroken at that very moment and swore to herself that if she could live through this, she would get a divorce!After the divorce, Hesper was surrounded by admirers and had troops of suitors following her. Rickard panicked!He scooped up the woman into his arms from her sea of suitors and pinned her against the wall. His extremely gorgeous face was tainted with regret. “Be good and listen to me. Let’s get married again tomorrow!”Hesper sneered. “Mr. Duval, I don’t love you anymore. Please have some self-respect!”

Chapter 1

In the gynecology ward of First Crest Hospital in Genecity, the doctor shouted anxiously as he looked at the weak, pregnant woman on the delivery bed, “Push, push!”However, Hesper Rivera had already exhausted her strength at this point and her small face was ghastly pale. Her lips that were chewed through did not have a tinge of color in them, and she was barely breathing. “This is bad! The patient is experiencing a difficult birth, and she is hemorrhaging!” The doctor’s expression changed drastically when he realized the urgency of the patient’s condition. He immediately ran out of the delivery room and said, “Family members of Ms. Hesper Rivera, where are the family members? The patient’s condition is critical!”However, the Duvals family members sitting at the waiting area were as calm as a cucumber. They did not appear to be anxious in the slightest, looking so unbothered that one would even wonder if they were related to Hesper in the delivery room. The people sitting here

Chapter 2

Hesper could not help trembling from the cold just from listening to Rickard’s voice. She bit her lower lip and said, “Sure, you can propose it then.”Rickard’s deep, attractive voice was filled with a mocking tone, “Hesper, what trick do you have up your sleeve this time? Your playing hard to get trick is old.”Hesper knew that he would not believe her so she said anxiously, “I’m serious, Rickard. I don’t want anything…”Before she could finish her sentence, she heard a strange man’s voice come from the call. It was as if the person was reminding Rickard. “Mr. Duval, Ms. Wight is here.”Hesper’s hand unconsciously held the phone tighter. She felt her chest tighten for a moment. Before she could recover from her surprise, Rickard had already impatiently hung up the call, leaving only the busy signal beeping. Ms. Wight? Juniper is back. If Hesper was a pile of mud on the floor to Rickard, then Juniper was the pure moonlight in his heart. Had it not been for that accident, He

Chapter 3

Because of Rickard, Hesper tried all sorts of ways to please the Duvals in the past. She would always put up with them no matter how badly Madam Duval and Sophia insulted her. Sophia was used to seeing Hesper’s submissive mannerism, so she was caught off guard when Hesper called her a toad. She was incredulous. “How dare you scold me, Hesper!”“I can scold you if I want. Do I need to choose a day?” The utterly disappointed Hesper felt as if she was free from the heavy burden weighing down on her. She stopped holding back. Feeling as if her authority was challenged, Sophia was so furious that her face flushed scarlet. She pointed at Hesper and burst out in a torrent of abuses. “You b*tch, who the f*ck do you think you are…”Hesper slapped away Sophia’s pointing finger. Sophia, refusing to be treated that way, stretched out her hand and shoved Hesper ferociously.Hesper, caught off guard, lost her balance due to her weak physical condition. She missed a step on the stairs and roll

Chapter 4

Hesper sat on the bed weakly with a thick bandage wrapped around her head. She looked at the overbearing mother and daughter before she said halfheartedly, “Grandfather can tell if I’m faking it with a glance.”Madam Duval grunted coldly and said, “Stop using Mr. Duval Sr. to threaten me. He’s not in the country now, so no one’s going to back you up! Someone, come and pin her down!”When her voice died away, a few middle-aged women with tall, huge physiques showed up in the room. It made Hesper remember the horrible incident that took place in the hospital room the other day. She remembered the feeling of the boiling hot soup being poured down her throat, how it felt like hot lava.She did not wish to experience that again, so she struggled with all her might and shouted frantically, “What are you doing? Let go of me! I’m going to tell my grandfather about this!”Madam Duval cracked a bitterly sarcastic smile. “We’re going to give a post-delivery detox massage to you, of course.

Chapter 5

It was found out through the doctor’s examination that Hesper’s fragile uterus was indeed injured during the process. She would need to rest and recuperate, or it would possibly result in infertility in the future. She did not feel anything when she heard that. She waited until she could walk before she went looking for Rickard with the divorce papers. Rickard was sitting in the study room with a nonchalant expression as if he was expecting her. “Rickard.” Hesper made his way to the man slowly and placed the divorce papers in her hand gently. She said calmly, “These are the divorce papers. I don’t want anything from it. If you have no objection, please sign these.”Rickard looked down to Hesper’s fine penmanship and strangely found her handwriting to be an eyesore. “Who says that I have no objection?”Hesper pursed her lips. “You may voice your request.”Rickard did not even rifle through the divorce papers before he said in a cold, merciless tone, “Hesper, not only will you l

Chapter 6

However, Rickard did not understand why he felt that way. He shifted his gaze and said nonchalantly, “Since you’ve agreed, do what you’re supposed to do and don’t be an eyesore here.”Hesper glanced at the child, reluctant to part with him. She wanted to stay there for a while more, but the child was tired. His soft face was swaying from left and right drowsily. Hesper could not bear to disturb the baby’s sleep, so she returned to her room indifferently. She did not manage to rest well during the first month post delivery and she was tormented by Madam Duval over and over again. Apart from the mental and emotional trauma, she was experiencing malnutrition as well. She managed to wait until it was dinner time yet Madam Duval sent someone to tell her, “Madam said that you need more rest due to your recent delivery, so you don’t need to join dinner downstairs!”Hesper did not speak and instead covered her empty belly with a blanket in silence. She hardly had a normal meal since

Chapter 7

Her remark would cause a misunderstanding easily. Rickard frowned and said, “I’m married.”“You were supposed to be mine! Mine!”Juniper’s tears streamed down more profusely as if she was triggered by him. He used to care for her sincerely in the past after all. The vigilance in Rickard’s eyes diminished a little, and he pulled out a tissue that he passed to her. “Don’t cry. Don't you like to look pretty? Your eyes will swell from crying.”“I’ve already lost you, so I don’t care about beauty anymore.” Juniper suddenly hugged him and leaned her face into his chest. Rickard’s entire body shook. He was about to push her away when she said, “I didn’t leave willingly all those years ago. I was diagnosed with a tumor, and the doctor told me that I could possibly be infertile. I don’t know how Hesper found out about my condition, but she told Mr. Duval Sr., who came to see me with her and forced me to leave you.”“What?” Rickard’s expression was filled with shock. He had always take

Chapter 8

“If you want me to bow down, dream on.”Hesper stood straight but her body trembled ever so slightly, not only out of anger but also fear. Rickard sneered and said, “You’re still stubborn and refuse to admit your mistake?”He snatched the child and passed him to Juniper before he pushed down Hesper’s back to force her to bow down. The emaciated Hesper bowed down instantly. The sight of her bowing over was painful to the eyes. In fact, Rickard could even see the wisp of agony on her expression. Knowing that he did not exert much strength, he wondered why she could not even withstand that. She’s only faking it again!Hesper did not care about herself; when her baby was taken from her, she shouted hysterically and stretched out her arms. “My baby! Give me back my baby!”Juniper wanted to see Hesper suffer so how could she possibly hand back the child to Hesper. She pretended to be startled by Hesper and hid behind Rickard in a haste. The child bawled even louder, and his l

Chapter 9

The door of the nursery shut with a loud bang, and the deafening noise startled the baby. Hesper pursed her lips tightly and held the baby in her arms tighter. It did not take long before Madam Duval’s caring voice was heard coming from downstairs. “Rickard, it’s getting late. I’m concerned about Juniper going home by herself; it's not safe. You should send her home.”Rickard glanced outside and figured that it really was unsafe now that it was dark. “Let’s go then.”After both of them got into the car, Juniper asked casually, “Rickard, is Hesper…still bowing down?”Rickard remembered that Hesper was not bowing down when he went upstairs earlier, so he figured that she would not follow his order to bow down for the rest of the night. He said with a tinge of anger in his voice, “I can’t be bothered to know. If she wants to bring trouble upon herself, no one can save her.”“Don’t be angry anymore…” Juniper heaved a sigh of pity, but in her heart, she was overjoyed. Meanwhil

Chapter 10

“Mrs. Duval!” Wanda screamed out in surprise. In the next moment, Hesper was caught by a pair of huge, male hands. Everyone was stunned; not even Rickard realized what had happened. How could he possibly initiate such an intimate interaction with her?He was convinced that he did it instinctively. He caught her out of instinct, and that was all. Sophia could not bear to watch anymore. “Dick, don’t mind her. The more you mind, the more she'll feign her agony. She did it so she could get your attention.”“Shut up!” Rickard shouted coldly. Having gotten close to Hesper, he had only just discovered the abnormality of her body temperature. “She's having a fever. Call the family doctor.”Sophia did not have the courage to continue to speak out of turn. However, this time, Hesper was the one to reject Rickard. “No, I don’t want the family doctor. Send me to the hospital.”Rickard’s eyebrows furrowed tighter, and he said impatiently, “You need treatment to lower your fever immedi
