A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love By Oopsie Daisy 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 immediately. It’s faster with the family doctor.”

“No, I want to go to the hospital,” Hesper insisted.

She did not have the courage to stay with the Duvals when she was sick because Madam Duval and Sophia might be seized with crazy ideas to put her in harm’s way.

In the hospital, at least she could ensure her own safety.

Rickard misunderstood her.

Remembering Julian’s numerous missed calls, his eyes filled with murderous intent. He nodded coldly and said, “Fine, I’ll fulfill your wish.”

Hesper could sense the strangeness in his tone, but she could not ponder further on it due to the discomfort in her body. She was sent to the hospital by the bodyguards.

Before they departed, Rickard gave the assistant an order coldly. “Monitor her closely. If Hesper meets up with some brute, inform me at once.”

“Uh…” The assistant was incredulous. Does Mr. Duval suspect Mrs. Duval of having an affair?

How could that be?

The assistant trembled deep inside after meeting the man’s stern gaze. He behaved himself and shut his mouth at once.

“Come, let’s go to the company first.”

The assistant hesitated for a moment before he asked cautiously, “Mr. Duval, Mrs. Duval is sick. Are we not going to visit her in the hospital?”

Rickard glanced at the assistant nonchalantly. “She’s just a woman. Compared to our collaboration with Haven Group, which one do you think is more important?”

The assistant came to understand the situation but still heaved a sigh in his heart.

It was precisely this kind of reasoning that had led the relationship between Mr. Duval and Mrs. Duval to grow so distant.

In the Duvals’ residence, the rest of the people returned to their posts after Hesper was sent to the hospital.

Wanda was about to leave when Madam Duval called out to her. “Stand there. Have I given you permission to leave?”

Wanda’s body trembled, and she turned around to look at Mrs. Duval in fear.
