Lily nodded and took Hesper into the room.As Hesper expected, the room was dimly lit even though it was noon. Hesper frowned and sat down with Lily. "Although you have some issues with your father, you know your own body the best," Hesper said. There was a hint of worry in Lily's eyes as she typed, [I know my body isn't well, but can it really be cured?]"Give me your hand," Hesper said. She did not like the idea of white lies, even though it meant good most of the time. She had to examine her condition before knowing if she had a chance to cure her.Lily extended her hand to Hesper without any hesitation. Seeing how much Lily trusted her, Hesper felt like a heavy weight on her chest. As she earnestly examined her condition, she felt something unusual and furrowed her brows.When Lily saw her expression, understanding dawned upon her, and the light in her eyes dimmed completely.Many people had shown this kind of expression in front of her. She had long grown accustomed to it

That being said, Hesper was still rather confident that she could cure Lily. After a while, she said, "I want you to listen closely if you want to get cured. First, you can't stay here anymore."The toxin in Lily's body thrives in darkness. It would only make the toxin even more active if she continued to stay here. Lily quickly nodded in compliance. Seeing her cooperation, Hesper sighed in relief.Lily's condition was the most severe Hesper had encountered. While dealing with the hallucinogenic drug had been challenging, Hesper did not feel as pressured since she knew that Vitalis was the antidote. However, Lily's condition now was different. Her condition was complex, and it was difficult for Hesper to get the right answer. If she made a mistake, it would be a complete failure. What's more, she could not gamble with the young girl's life.She had to be cautious."I've already examined your condition. If it could be solved easily, it would be a lie," Hesper released Lily's hand

Hesper smiled in return. She had not forgotten her other purpose for coming here. In fact, her main intention was something different. She subtly glanced around the surroundings and curiously asked, "I haven't seen Christopher around. Does he not usually stay here?""Chris?" Although Liam did not know why Hesper suddenly brought up Christopher, she was the only one who could save Lily. "He doesn't usually stay here, but he occasionally returns to stay for a while. Even though he isn't married and has no preferred young ladies, he is still at an age where he should be considering these matters," Liam said. Hesper was speechless. For some reason, she seemed to sense a hint of disdain.She continued, "The reason I asked about Christopher was that Sherese used to often go out with him some time ago. Sherese is like a half-sister to me, so I wanted to show my concern."Upon hearing the name Sherese, Liam finally remembered that there had been some incidents involving her, and he fell

Noting Liam's cautious gaze, Lily reverted to her usual indifferent self. Without saying anything, she turned and left the place. Liam sighed. In fact, it was not the first day Lily had given him the cold shoulder. Over the years, she had blamed him consistently for not protecting her mother properly, which led to her being born with these problems—a life filled with suffering. Despite everything not going as he had hoped, it was partly his fault.However, he did not notice the hint of hesitation that flashed across Lily's face as she turned away. Like fireworks, it quickly vanished.*After returning, Hesper carefully thought about Liam's expression at that moment. She was certain he genuinely did not know what Christopher had been up to. This was the reason why she initially felt there was no issue with Christopher. While Hesper was lost in thought, Benji entered the room and said, "Kenji will be arriving tonight. Tomorrow when you visit the Turners, make sure to have Kenji wi

Even the household helpers addressed Lily as if she had no elder sister. However, the helpers refused to talk about this matter, and Hesper had a hunch that there must be some sort of secret surrounding this eldest daughter. Judging by the attitudes of Liam and Christopher, it seemed that Liam had only truly loved one woman in his life, and that was Lily's mother. Their relationship had been harmonious without any apparent issues. Therefore, based on this logic, this elder daughter should also be the offspring of Liam's deceased wife. If that were the case, since Liam held such deep affection for Lily, it was unlikely that he would harbor negative feelings toward his other daughter. Hence, Hesper was convinced that there was something unusual going on.However, before Hesper could delve into her investigation, something happened within the Turners. Likely due to Hesper's increased familiarity with the household, Liam no longer escorted her personally on each visit. Consequentl

Hesper felt a bit sympathetic towards the young girl before her. Seeing her current expression, she felt a twinge of compassion. However, this was a matter within the Turners and she could not interfere."It's almost time," a voice came from outside the room. Hesper turned her head to see helpers at the door, casting a probing glance inside. Lily waved them in, and they entered the room.It turned out that Lily's grandfather was about to arrive, so they were here to help Luly with her dressing and makeup for the birthday celebration that she was destined to be unwelcome at.Hesper felt a bit sorry for her and said, "I'll go with you later. Besides, I need to talk to Mr. Turner about your recent condition."Following the previous treatment plan, Lily's health had indeed improved significantly. Although she had a long way to full recovery, she was much better compared to her previous frail state. However, Hesper had not seen Liam for quite a few days either. If not for knowing ho

Hesper was good at hiding, and these two people clearly lacked any expertise in this regard. As she got closer, their voices became clearer."It's true that our father dislikes that little bastard, but Liam is different. If Liam finds out that we harmed his daughter, he'd be furious.""But it's only after she dies that we can inherit our father's property. You're well aware of that." The man snorted coldly. "Even if he doesn't like Lily, she's his granddaughter. She'll still receive a share from his inheritance.""You know about Liam's capabilities. How much do you think we'll get when that time comes?"Hesper frowned. Liam probably did not care about those properties at all. What these two were worried about might be something he did not value. Yet, they were trying to harm Lily. They had not noticed Hesper's presence. She managed to record the entire conversation. While the men were cautious and had not explicitly stated their plan to harm Lily, Hesper would not allow them the
A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love Chapter 1398
For some reason, Hesper's thoughts were not about who this person was, but rather that she seemed familiar from somewhere when she saw the girl. However, with a second look, that feeling vanished. Thus, Hesper temporarily put aside the strange feeling and looked at Lily. Combining Lily's disappointment with the scene before them, she instantly knew who they were.That old man must be Lily's grandfather, while the other young girl must be Liam's eldest daughter from the rumors. However, this eldest daughter did not bear any resemblance to Lily or Liam. Coupled with the family's mixed reactions to her presence, an uncertain idea popped up in Hesper's head.While Lily was not warmly received, her appearance did attract attention. Someone leaned over to whisper something into her grandfather's ear, and his gaze swiftly turned toward her, growing colder. Even though Hesper could not understand his attitude, she knew that not everyone cherished their children. This was especially tru

He had never anticipated that he would end up loving her so deeply.It could be said that amidst all the misunderstandings and complexities, their journey together had taken many winding paths."I wouldn't risk getting into trouble just to set off fireworks for someone I didn't even like," Rickard said, his voice gentle. "You dummy."His words were soft, but as Hesper listened to his explanation, she cleared her throat, and her eyes turned bloodshot. She had never imagined that the person she had loved so intensely in her youth had, at some point in their lives, secretly admired her.Hesper attempted to smile but ended up with teary eyes. Seeing this, Rickard reached out and affectionately ruffled her hair. "If it's going to make you cry, I won't say anything more."Hesper pursed her lips. "If you don't want to talk about it, then don't."Rickard, despite understanding her reluctance, couldn't help but reflect on the past and openly admitted to the emotions he had felt in his you

They were flooded with memories, and Hesper couldn't help but admit that she had been through so much with Rickard. Her eyes welled up with emotion.The livestream ended, as they couldn't maintain constant surveillance of their lives. Even though they hadn't gone home yet, the crew had left.In the past two days, people had gotten to know them quite well, so the crew decided to give them some alone time.Hesper sat in the passenger seat and stole a glance at Rickard. She couldn't help but say, "I never expected that the only time you were seen as making a mistake in Grandpa's eyes was because of me.""There are many things you don't know," he replied. Hesper raised an eyebrow and asked, "Like what? Tell me."Suddenly, Hesper recalled the countless times Rickard had looked at her. Yet, during those moments, Rickard had always had feelings for Juniper. She knew that was the reality, so she never expected that Rickard might have had the same strong feelings for her as she had for h

Hesper glanced at Rickard, who remained emotionless, but she still reached out to hold his hand.[This is tough to see. Both of Rickard's parents are no longer here… Sigh.][Hesper immediately checked on Rickard. If I were Rickard, I'd love her so much.]Ernest shook his head and remained silent as he flipped to the next page. Most of the pictures were of Hesper after that. She hadn't realized she had so many childhood photos. Julian appeared in some of them, too.Before everything went sour.Rickard didn't have many pictures. As he grew older, he became quieter.Most of them showed Hesper standing next to Julian, but there was something off about them.[Did you notice... In many of those pictures, Hesper was looking at Rickard, and in others, Rickard was looking at her.][Oh my god, is this puppy love? I had no idea!][I remember Rickard had another lover.]Hesper had noticed, too, but there was no need to remind people that Rickard used to hate her, so she dismissed it as a

Hesper and Rickard entered the room and awkwardly informed Ernest that everything had been live-streamed just now. Ernest was shocked, but upon hearing that it was something people do, he nodded."It's fine. There's nothing that others can't hear."Hesper pursed her lips and glanced at Rickard before saying, "We didn't expect the Summers to come and see you. You should move in with us so these people will leave you alone."If Ernest lived with them, no one would dare intrude because they represented power and influence.Who would dare challenge them?"I don't want to get involved in your life. Renfew and Renarie would keep you occupied enough."Hesper understood that he had already made up his mind not to live with them, so she didn't press the matter further.She could understand his concerns, as many things might become inconvenient. Besides, Ernest didn't want to disrupt their lives either."We'll be heading to Fredonia soon, so even though we have filming to do, we wanted t

So what if the cameras were still recording?"Was my son's life not as valuable as your son's?"If he had grasped this earlier, recent events might not have unfolded. Jade had a point.The live chat fell silent. Though they lacked the full backstory, they could deduce what had transpired in the past.[I heard Rickard lost his parents when he was a child. I feel sorry for him.][His parents died because of that incident. It's no surprise if he harbors resentment.][Truthfully, this old man has no shame. If my child were responsible for another child's death, I'd beg for forgiveness.]Everything unfolding before their eyes was purely coincidental, and no one had control over the situation. They could only watch and terminate the livestream immediately if anything escalated.Fortunately, Jade received a stern talking-to and refrained from discussing the matter further, but Mrs. Summers did not fare as well. Hesper and the others bore witness to her irrational behavior.[This is e

"We've known each other for years, Ernest. I saved your life once, and now your descendants want to take my son's life!"As they approached, Jade Summers was angrily berating Ernest before him. Hesper's countenance immediately turned frosty as she walked over to Ernest."You should conduct yourself more appropriately, Mr. Summers Sr."Jade was taken aback to see Hesper, but he composed himself, took a deep breath, and fixed her with a hatred-filled gaze."If it weren't for you, none of this would have happened. You're just a woman. Since when do you get a say in the Duval family matters?"In the 21st century, people were all for equality. Besides, Hesper was no ordinary or unintelligent woman. Naturally, she had a voice in these matters.The viewers were inundated with comments when they heard Jade's words, and the live chat exploded.[Who is this guy? He looks old but lacks respect.][What's the argument about?][I sense some drama.]Rickard walked over. Jade had thought he

[Didn't Hesper mention that Mr. Duval Sr. took care of her? Maybe she did grow up well.][I'm certain she did. Hesper doesn't strike me as someone who would tolerate mistreatment.]Hesper and Rickard were under constant surveillance throughout the journey, and they hadn't allowed Benji to accompany them. Rickard was behind the wheel, with Hesper in the passenger seat.During the drive, they remained silent, but to observers, it appeared as though they were in harmony.Upon arriving at the ancestral mansion, Hesper noticed other cars parked around and cast a curious glance at Rickard. Visitors to Ernest's home were a rarity."Sir, Ma'am, you're back," a young housekeeper greeted them. It was the same person who had assisted Wendy earlier, but they couldn't recall her name. Nevertheless, Hesper had faith in her.Noticing the housekeeper's troubled demeanor, Hesper deduced that the guest inside was likely unwelcome. However, she couldn't fathom who would disrupt Ernest's life. Given

Rickard noticed something in Hesper's expression, prompting him to ask, "Is there something else you haven't told me?"Being intimately familiar with each other wasn't always without its challenges. Hesper could never conceal anything from him.She sighed and replied, "It's nothing. Just that Pennleigh will also be on the list."Rickard fell silent.Hesper was aware that sometimes Rickard might not appear bothered, but Pennleigh's presence did bother him.Observing Hesper's awkward expression, Rickard lowered his gaze and suddenly took on a pitiful appearance, like a big dog caught in the rain.Yet, she knew he was merely putting on an act. Still, every time she saw him like that, she couldn't help but miss the Rickard who didn't engage in such playful antics. His character had undergone a change.Hesper found it amusing but didn't quite know how to express it. She sighed and added, "It's a fantastic opportunity. I know you'll let me go, right?"Rickard had no intention of inte

"Sullivan lied to her. He had her parents quietly killed. She found out after she turned her back on you."Benji lowered his gaze. "She was already dead when you came back. It was suicide."The conclusion lacked the weight necessary for such a betrayal. Hesper shut her eyes. The person she had trusted most was Renee. They had shared countless years together.Hesper acknowledged that their bond might not have been a genuine friendship. Renee had abandoned her when given the choice.However, Hesper had faced such situations before.Thankfully, there had been someone who had placed her first in their heart, reassuring her that she wasn't always relegated to being an option. Hesper stood in silence for a while before simply nodding.There was nothing she could do to aid Renee now. Renee had entered and departed alone, leaving no trace behind with Hesper.When the topic was broached, it weighed heavily on her heart. Hesper understood the situation but found herself at a loss for word
