A Spoonful of Sugar: Don't Beg for Love novel Chapter 187

Chapter 187 

“Is Grandpa sick?” 

Rickard remained silent and did not deny it, which, in Hesper’s eyes, was equivalent to him admitting it. 

Hesper pulled the car over and parked in a parking space on the side of the road, then turned around and looked at Rickard with a worried expression. “How did Grandpa fall ill all of a sudden? Didn’t his condition stabilize after he went abroad and received treatment?” 

When Renfrew heard that his great-grandfather was sick, he immediately looked at Rickard. 

‘Among the Duvais, other than Daddy, Great-grandpa is the only person who treats me well!’ 

The reason why Rickard did not want to mention it was of course, that he did not want Hesper to get distracted by worrying about this matter. But the main reason was that Ernest now knew what happened before Hesper left. 

He had locked the recording pen that Hesper left behind back then in his study, but when Ernest came to find a document the other day, he accidentally found the recording pen that had been locked away in the drawer. 

After listening to the recording, Ernest was exasperated. He then sent someone to investigate all the events that took place back then. And because of that, his heart disease, which had stabilized after the treatments, relapsed abruptly. He had not made a complete recovery since then. 

“How…?” Hesper felt extreme remorse at that moment. 

‘If I hadn’t left the recorder behind, Grandpa’s illness wouldn’t have relapsed…’ 

“It’s not your fault. Grandfather… He’s made them kneel in the courtyard for three days. But such a penalty 

is still too lenient for them.” 

‘Regardless of whether Hesper is someone that Grandpa loves, Mother and Sophia definitely didn’t bully. Hesper just for fun. They wanted to actually kill her back then! Grandpa won’t allow someone who doesn’t take human lives seriously to stay in the Duvals!” 

Even so, Hesper still felt very guilty. 

‘If it weren’t for me, Grandpa wouldn’t have fallen ill. He’s already so old. He’s taken so many medicines and undergone so many diagnoses and treatments to finally get his condition under control. Any stimuli might overload his body, let alone such an urgent relapse.’ 

“Would you like to pay Grandpa a visit?” Rickard asked suddenly. “He’s always missing you, but because we’re… divorced… Coupled with the fact that you’ve found your family, he didn’t want to have to disturb you.” 

“Of course, he’s the person who raised me.” Hesper’s eyes were bloodshot, and she felt even more guilty.” 

I should’ve visited him as soon as I came back. It’s just that I was so selfish and only thought about myself. What does any of this have to do with Grandpa.?” 1 

“He’s obviously one of the people who love me the most in the world.” 

“Then let’s visit him tomorrow.” 

The next day happened to be a public holiday, so Hesper nodded immediately. “Renfrew, you should come along too. Grandpa probably hasn’t seen you in so long.” 

“Okay, I’ll go too!” 

Rickard gazed at the two of them and then nodded in agreement. “Grandpa will be exhilarated to see you.”
