A Spoonful of Sugar: Don't Beg for Love novel Chapter 250

Chapter 250 

Matthew’s voice suddenly sounded from behind, and Hesper was so frightened that she almost 

screamed. 

Hesper could not let Matthew know the plan that she had mapped out just then, so she responded by shaking her head and trying to hide her thoughts. “Nothing! I’m fine!” 

Seeing the vague hint of guilt that flashed across Hesper’s face, Matthew did not dig deeper either. Instead, he took out a paper bag out from behind his back and handed it to Hesper. “This is yours, isn’t it? I found it when they were moving my stuff here.” 

Seeing the paper bag, Hesper froze for a split second then nodded and grabbed it from him. “Yeah, it’s mine. I almost forgot about it.” 

There had been too many things distracting her from the paper bag after receiving it the other day, so Hesper placed the bag aside casually and then forgot about it later on. 

Inside were several boxes of medicines sent to her by Julian. It was said that they were special 

medicines that had been newly developed for Ernest, which would produce a much better result than the previous ones. 

There was also a note inside. 

Julian: “These two boxes of medicine have to be taken in five cycles. I’ve written the detailed 

consumption method and procedures in the box.” 

“How are you doing? You okay?” 

“It turned out to be lan.” Hesper did not deliberately avoid the subject. 

Matthew could also see the handwriting on the note. “Why does he sound so awkward in the message? And since he’s already written the note, why would he write the consumption method on a different piece of paper and insert it into the box?” 

“The last sentence is even grammatically incorrect.” 

Julian studied literature in high school, so even if he had been abroad all this time, he should not sound so weird when he’s trying to write or speak. 

Hesper frowned and took the medicine in the paper bag out. 

‘There are three boxes in total here, but it’s mentioned in the sticky note that there should be two boxes instead. Even if he might make such a simple mistake, it’s still a little far-fetched.” 

After opening one of the boxes, the dosage of the medicine was written on another sticky note, and it was indeed Julian’s handwriting. However, when it came to the number “5” which was written down in the note to signify the five cycles, it looked as if it was originally an Arabic number “3”, but it seemed that the number “5” was forcibly written over it as if it was a clerical error. 

“Something doesn’t seem right.” 

After receiving Julian’s note for the first time the other night, Hesper had actually felt as if something was 

wrong. 

‘Although Julian and I used to depend on each other a lot, Julian wouldn’t say such sickening things like “I miss you”. 

Recalling the spy game that they occasionally played in the orphanage when they were still kids, Hesper bought a dictionary that was distributed to them by the orphanage’s management when they were staying 

there and found the words and phrases corresponding to “I miss you”. 

‘Be careful.’ 

Without any hesitation, Hesper returned to her room with the sticky note, took out the dictionary from the shelf, and opened the dictionary to respective pages. 

‘The words that correspond to “you” and “okay” are- 

“People around you.” 

When Matthew read the three words, Hesper felt a jolt of chill shoots up her spine.
