They were getting more and more derailed from the topic. Hesper hastily changed another topic and said, "Umm… Mrs. Pisano, it's getting late. I don't want to bother you too much. I'm fine right now. You should go back to sleep."
Isobella nodded. "Leave the broken glass at the door. You may accidentally cut your hand since it's dark here. I'll get the maid to clean it up tomorrow… Alright, it is getting late. You should get back to bed."
"Okay."
Hesper heaved out a long sigh of relief after sending Isobella away. She locked the door and turned around, only to realize that she was doing something she should not have been doing, just as Rickard had said earlier in the afternoon.
However, the thing was that she and Rickard did not do anything, and she had no relationship with Pennleigh whatsoever.
Rickard came out of the restroom, and there was a slightly awkward and helpless expression sitting on his face. Hesper found his expression somewhat funny, but she could not laugh out loud. In the end, she just cleared her throat and said, "Alright. I need to sleep. You should leave now."
Rickard also had not figured out how to talk to Hesper about what happened back then. Now that she had forgotten about it, he could think of the best way to make Hesper accept the thing, so he nodded.
"Then you rest well. I'll take you to the hospital tomorrow."
Frowning, Hesper asked, "Since when did I say I'm going to the hospital with you? Did you not hear my conversation with Mrs. Pisano just now? I'm fine. I don't need to go to the hospital, and I'll definitely not follow you to the hospital. I'm Pennleigh's girlfriend right now, got it?"
"You shouldn't look down on your leg injuries. I already told you that I've found a doctor that can treat your leg injury. Before that, can you make sure you won't injure your leg again?"
Looking at Rickard's serious face, Hesper gave a cold smirk. "This is my leg. What has it got to do with you?"
