A Spoonful of Sugar: Don't Beg for Love novel Chapter 16

Chapter 16

“Hesper!”

Rickard’s eyes widened in shock at that very moment.

He shakily stretched out his hand, but Hesper’s gaze remained locked on the bundle before her. She spat out a mouthful of fresh blood and said, “My baby…

She wanted to check on the baby, but no matter how hard she tried, she could not reach the edge of the bundle with her fingertips.

It was only a few millimeters away, but the distance separated life and death.

The vision before Hesper’s eyes went black, and she shut her eyes completely.

“Hesper!” The usually calm man was already thrown into a panic by now. He roared frantically, “Call the ambulance! Call the ambulance, quick!”

The bodyguard standing behind him immediately took action while Benji picked up the bundle cautiously. His expression changed drastically after taking one glance.

“Sir…”

Rickard looked over shakily, as he recognized the bundle as the baby’s blanket. Hesper jumped off the tall building because of the baby.

However, when he opened up the blanket bundle, he found that it did not contain their child but a human- shaped doll!

All the agony he felt halted to a stop at that very moment, and his eyes widened in surprise.

Anger and doubt filled his chest before, at last, turning into cruelness. Rickard spoke through tightly- clenched teeth, “Look into this! What the heck happened here?”

“Yes, sir!”

Benji did not have the courage to digress but immediately led some staff members to interrogate. everyone in the Duvals’ residence after such a serious incident took place.

Rickard stayed with Hesper. He lowered all his pride for the first time in his life and said in a pleading tone, “Just hang on for a while. The doctor is coming. Don’t die. Didn’t you ask for a divorce? If you die. you’ll only end up becoming a ghost haunting the Duvals’ residence.”

“Mr. Duval, the ambulance is here.”

Rickard immediately made way for the paramedics to lift Hesper onto a stretcher.

He wanted to follow them, but he was shoved away by the doctor. “Sir, Mrs. Duval’s condition is very serious and we’ll need to carry out emergency treatment, so please make way for us.”

Rickard immediately ordered a staff member to drive behind the ambulance, and the car sped up to 180 miles per hour along the way.

Everyone who witnessed the scene was dumbfounded. How can anyone drive so fast? Is that person trying to get himself killed?

Hesper’s breathing was weakening bit by bit. She felt as if she was floating in midair but there was a thousand tonnes weighing down on her until she could not breath. Intense pain was radiating from every part of her body, but it felt as if she was already numbed from the pain.

In fact, she did not even know when she was sent to emergency surgery because her memory was stuck on the scene of the baby falling off the building.

The baby, my little baby…is dead.
