A Spoonful of Sugar: Don't Beg for Love novel Chapter 466

"Is Hesper not back yet?"

Rickard frowned and asked Renfrew to give Hesper a call to check on her. However, Renfrew made a few calls but none of them went through.

It had turned into a storm outside.

"Mr. Duval…"

When the help walked in, Rickard already put on his coat and said, "Boil some ginger tea and add more sugar." He left the room after saying that.

Mrs. Potter watched him walk away, sighed, then closed the window of the balcony so that the flowers that Rickard did so much to save would survive the storm.

Meanwhile, Hesper quietly counted the seconds that ticked by. More than an hour passed, so the chances of someone suddenly coming back to the office or the electricity coming back on were very small.

She put her hand to her forehead. Unsurprisingly, she had a fever.

"No… I can't stay here."

Hesper struggled to stand up, then returned to her office to look for some sharp object to smash the door open. Even though it was going to be difficult to explain what happened the next day, that was all she could do.

Fortunately, they had a glass door. Even though it was tempered glass, she managed to break it after hitting the same spot a few times.

The door was locked from the inside, so Hesper managed to get out.

What she wasn't expecting was that it was just the beginning of her nightmare.

She walked half a block but didn't see any cars on the road. Everyone was hiding after getting a storm alert, and since Eustoma was in a less populated area, cars would rarely pass by on a normal day.
