A Spoonful of Sugar: Don't Beg for Love novel Chapter 18

Chapter 18

However, they did not expect Rickard to actually assign a bodyguard to watch her on a 24-hour basis. Let alone a man, not even a fly could fly near her.

Sophia and Juniper did not manage to figure out a way through the entire night. Just as they were at a loss of what to do, news came from the hospital that Hesper was already awake.

“What should we do, what should we do? Rickard will hate us if she tells him everything”

Juniper assumed a panic-stricken expression at last. Had she known that Hesper would be so foolish, shel would not have done that to Hesper.

But she did do it, and not only did she not finish off Hesper, it was possible that she could be exposed at any moment.

Juniper considered herself lucky that she and Sophia were on the same boat while it was very apparent that Sophia would not make peace with the current situation willingly.

“Mom, can’t you just bring a few women and barge into the room when Dick is not around? We’ll just say that her body was too weak to live, so it’s not our fault!”

“What nonsense are you talking about?” Madam Duval glared at her in disappointment. “What have I taught you on usual days? Why haven’t you learned anything at all? Your brother has been looking into the cause of Hesper’s fall from the start, so if she were to die a bizarre death now, he’d blame it on all of your regardless of whether you did it!”

“What should we do then? We’re still doomed if Hesper tells him the truth!”

“That’s not for certain…” Madam Duval smirked coldly and gave an order, “Get me the phone number of Hesper’s attending doctor.”

Meanwhile, Rickard arrived at the hospital in a rush.

“My child, where’s my child?”

Hesper wanted to get out of bed hastily as soon as she saw Rickard, but she fell on her knees due to her severe injuries that impeded her ability to walk. The wounds on her legs were strained and Hesper inhaled sharply from the pain.

Rickard ordered someone to help her up and said in a comforting tone, “The baby is fine. He’s doing well. Stay calm.”

Hesper refused to believe it.

How can the baby be fine?
