Rickard nodded. "Don’t worry, I’ll definitely get the patient to cooperate with you as much as possible... In fact, she really hopes that she can recover from the injuries too."
"That’s good."
Rickard turned his head and sighed indistinctly.
‘I currently have no way to directly reveal my identity, and I can’t tie Hesper down and force her into receiving treatment. What’s more, if Hesper were to know my true identity, she might not want this treatment. Although I was a little impulsive and have brought them back, how should I bring this up to her?’
...
On the other hand, Hesper felt that her health seemed to be getting a lot better, so she asked Pennleigh to help bring her laptop to her home.
"Me... Me?" Pennleigh seemed a little flattered. "Okay, I’ll send it to you right now."
"Mr. Pisano." Hesper frowned, feeling a little helpless. "Were you listening to me just now? I just told you that I have a check-up in the morning, and you can just send the things over in the afternoon. Mr. Sanchez has some jobs to tackle in the neighboring city, so I can only trouble you with the task."
Pennleigh came back to his senses and nodded. "I’m sorry, I was in a daze just now. Okay, then I’ll go over at noon. Perhaps I could also bring you something to eat? I can buy you whatever you want."
"I can’t eat a lot of things now. The doctor said that my wounds are still inflamed. Plus, the housekeeper next door has been getting every meal arranged for me each day."
Hearing this, Pennleigh asked tentatively, "Haven’t you met your neighbor? He’s been treating you a little too well, isn’t he? He sent you to the hospital and is taking care of your meals."
Hesper seemed to be taken aback for a split moment, then frowned and nodded thoughtfully. "What you said is correct. I must thank him properly the next time I see him in person."
