A Spoonful of Sugar: Don't Beg for Love novel Chapter 478

Mrs. Potter truthfully reported everything she heard and saw to Rickard.

Rickard was on the balcony, and he happened to be able to see the large open space that sat in between the gate of Hesper’s house and the courtyard. He also knew how long Pennleigh had been sitting there.

‘I guess he didn’t expect that he would be sold out by his subordinate when he’s not around.’

Rickard knew Hesper well enough to know that if she were to know about this, she might leave Eustoma after.

‘Half of the things that I must accomplish in Fredonia have been done. I’ve found Professor Miles to heal Hesper’s leg injuries, so what’s left now is to find out the killer who’s been trying to harm Hesper.’

Because Professor Miles had spent a significant amount of time in Daybreak, Rickard tried to extract some useful information from him.

"When I was at Daybreak?" Professor Miles had been imprisoned for a long time, so after getting out of Daybreak, all he wanted to do was to drink a little wine. Thus, with slightly flushed cheeks, he shook his head when he heard Rickard’s question. "I only did one thing when I was locked away by Daybreak, and that was to research and learn how to treat leg injuries."

"Leg injuries?"

Professor Miles patted his thigh. "Yes, right here."

In fact, Rickard still had some doubts regarding his success in snatching Professor Miles back this time around. The whole process just seemed too smooth to be true.

Daybreak had never been known to be a pushover. Rickard had already considered this before he decided to go and snatch Professor Miles. He thought there would surely be a fierce battle.

Rather than saying that he had managed to snatch Professor Miles back, Daybreak deliberately letting them go would be a more accurate claim.

"However, the condition of my patient in Daybreak is more serious than that of Ms. Rivera. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been imprisoned by them for so many months." Professor Miles curled his lips. "I don’t think even the best doctor in the world could treat those legs."

Rickard was not very interested in someone else’s condition. However, the traces of strangeness that had just surged up from the bottom of his heart had calmed down.

‘Ever since I returned to the Lanes, even Matthew hasn’t treated me very well. As for the people that work for me, like Isaac and Renee, they don’t show me any respect at all either. All they talk about all day is Hesper as if she’s the real lady. Juniper is the only one who cares about me. I fully understand why the relationship between Juniper and Hesper isn’t good now. Juniper would never befriend someone as hypocritical and vicious as Hesper.’

"Have you finished packing?"

When Carter entered the room, he saw that Juniper was staring at her cell phone and smirking. He frowned unobtrusively, suppressed his expression, and walked up to her. "What are you looking at?"

Juniper sneered and showed Carter the chat records between her and Rachael.

"Look at this fool." Juniper leaned in Carter’s arms, gave a faint smirk, and then took a deep breath. "I never expected this to be the case. I'll admit that Hesper is a little smart; at least she’s much more difficult to deal with than the current Rachael Lane."

Carter gave her temple a peck, but his face that reflected in the mirror looked solemn.
