There was too much space between them. He needed time to make amends, but looking into her teary eyes, Rickard couldn't provide any affirmation. "Alright, I really don't understand the two of you. I have my own problems. Grandpa keeps asking me to get married. Do you know what kind of people I've been on blind dates with recently? They asked about the asset distribution after our marriage. They all seem to only be interested in my family yet they expect my loyalty."Rickard scoffed and returned to his usual calmness. "That's too naive. The love that they talk about isn't as practical as having a piece of the pie.""Urgh, you…" Zikmund said unhappily. "I'm here acting as your relationship counselor, yet you're ridiculing me. The next time you have relationship problems, you know who not to call.""I guess I have to call Mr. Gunther Sr. then.""No, brother, my dead friend." Zikmund chuckled sadly. "I've had enough for today. All I want to do is to find someone who is also being pre

"When is the surgery?"Riley stood up and looked smugly at Myriade. "Today."***Meanwhile, the surgery was happening as planned. When Hesper was rolled into the operation theatre, her heart was beating anxiously. "What's wrong?" The doctor realized that she was nervous, so he consoled her. "Don't worry, I've never had a failed surgery before. What's more, you're in stable condition, so even if Julian were to perform the surgery, we'd still be fine."Hesper's lips smiled when she heard that, then she nodded. "I guess I'm just too nervous."The surgery was held in the local hospital, which was well-equipped. When anesthesia was injected into her body, Hesper soon lost consciousness. Julian and the doctor exchanged looks. They had worked together on countless surgeries. Just as the doctor had said, Hesper was in good condition, so there was no way the surgery would fail. ***Rickard sat outside the operation theatre and Benji flew over from Halwanest. The surgery wasn't a sm

Matthew's eyes were cold like glaciers. "Thank you for all you've done for my sister recently, but do you really think Hesper will forgive you?"Rickard looked up at that. Matthew took out his phone and played a recording he made of Hesper talking. "Don't worry, Matt, I'll keep my distance and make sure I don't fall for him.""An eye for an eye. The pain I suffered for love can only be redeemed with love."Realizing that something was wrong, Benji looked over to Rickard. The recording ended. Matthew knew that when Hesper said that, she was somewhat lying to herself, but he didn't want to see her go down the same path. He had seen Hesper at her lowest, and it was all because of Rickard. If Rickard didn't exist, Hesper would be free and proud instead of lowering herself because of love. Even if he was being selfish, he wanted Hesper to be better. He had to chase Rickard away before she got back together with him. Matthew believed that anyone who heard that their love was u

"The operation was a huge success. Hesper’s condition is very stable now." Professor Miles was visibly happy; when he came out, he looked a bit tired. "We’ll transfer her to a ward for 24 hours of observation. If nothing goes wrong during this time, Hesper’s legs will get back to how they were before."Matthew breathed a sigh of relief; no matter what, it was a good thing that Hesper’s leg injury had been cured.Rickard sat on the other side of the bench, not making a sound. Professor Miles could not help but feel a little strange.‘Didn't Rickard care about Hesper the most? But now that the result of her operation is out, why is he so silent?’Matthew was not surprised. Professor Miles took a step forward out of curiosity, but Rickard suddenly fell from the bench."Mr. Duval!"Since Matthew was the closest to Rickard, he quickly supported him, who was about to drop to the floor face down.The moment he saw his face, he realized that Rickard’s cheeks looked so pale that it seeme

The smirk on Julian’s lips disappeared. He glanced at Hesper, who was lying on the bed with her eyes tightly shut, and said in a deep voice, "This has nothing to do with you, Master. I know that the Duvals are very powerful, but I already thought it through before deciding to do this.""What’s there for you to think about? Hesper and Rickard love each other. Do they really need you to intervene in their relationship?" Professor Miles snorted coldly. "Don’t do a whole list of things that’ll only move you and only you at the end of the day.""You don’t even know how Rickard treated Hesper before. I can’t let her go back to him." Julian sneered. "As for the antidote, there’s none. Since I wanted to poison Rickard, why would I leave a way out for him...? He’ll soon die of organ failure. I’ll be watching from the side as he kicks the bucket little by little. And he’s not going to get the chance to turn things arou—"His words were cut off, as Professor Miles slapped him across the face.

Rickard knew the reason why Julian hated him more than anyone else, and he also understood that it was not anyone’s fault. All this happened only because he chose to trust someone who hated him and lost his logic and judgment.Ridiculously, he did this for someone who did not have any feelings for him."The poison in your body might be more difficult to deal with than imagined." Professor Miles saw Rickard’s indifferent expression and frowned bitterly. "I’m indeed Julian’s teacher, but he concentrated on studying the drug, and I’m not an expert in this field. Do you know what that means? If I don’t manage to develop an antidote before the poison’s effect takes place again, you’ll die."He did not expect the poison in Rickard’s body to be so lethal. In addition, Professor Miles had given Rickard some medicine to relieve the effect of the poison, so Benji had not been taking the matter seriously at all. His eyes widened in shock as he stared in Rickard’s direction.Rickard did not pa

Hesper raised her gaze. "There’s no need for you to hide it from me. The effects of the anesthetic wore off a little faster than you anticipated, so I heard what you and Julian talked about here last night."Professor Miles was at a loss for words. He cleared his throat, finding it a little difficult to put the matter into words. Finally, he explained vaguely, "The most important thing now is for you to take good care of your body so that things can return to the way they used to be.""Don’t hide it from me. It’ll only cause me to overthink." Hesper chuckled lightly and deliberately tried to keep the atmosphere from getting too heavy. "Could it be that the first event I’ll be attending after I fully recover is Rickard’s funeral?”Professor Miles quickly denied it. "It’s not that serious. The poison is indeed a pain in the *ss, but as long as Rickard stays in bed and doesn’t move too much, the poison will spread very slowly, leaving me with more time to develop the antidote."Hesper

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 clen

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
A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love Chapter 1859
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
