A Spoonful of Sugar: Don't Beg for Love novel Chapter 493

"She's started to receive the treatment, and the doctor promised that she'll be healed within six months," Rickard said plainly. "It's your birthday next week. If you want anything, I'll let Benji buy it for you."

Renfrew looked at Rickard with some disdain. "I don't need anything. If you're going to give someone a birthday gift, you need to be sincere. If I need something, I can ask Uncle Benji anytime."

"If you don't want it, then that's fine with me. I don't have time to go back," Rickard replied, his face expressionless.

"Daddy, it seems to me that you don't love me as much as you used to," Renfrew said.

"I'm busy taking care of your mother," Rickard replied.

Clicking his tongue twice, Renfrew said, "Alright, I'll forgive you. As your superior, I hope you can complete the task quickly and bring my mommy back safely and soundly."

"Alright." Rickard chuckled. "I won't let you down, Sir."

The next day, when Hesper went to Eustoma in a wheelchair, it attracted a lot of attention as expected.

After explaining several times that she was fine and just cooperating with treatment, everyone finally dispersed. Hesper's lips were dry from all the explanations. Pennleigh could not help but find it a bit funny; he walked up and handed her a glass of water.

"If you want, you can just work from home in the future. Eustoma doesn't lack a desk-bound designer like you," Pennleigh said with a laugh. "Take care of yourself during the treatment."

Hesper shook her head. "I have to adapt to life in a wheelchair... The treatment will take six months, and I'll have to show up like this when the new semester starts in a few days, right?"

"Well, you're right." Pennleigh smiled and nodded. After that, he said in a serious voice, "Anyway, I have something to tell you. Didn't I help you reject Rachael last time? I could tell that she wasn't in a good mood when she replied to me last time. Later, the CEO of Lane Holdings, Matthew, also contacted Eustoma to request that you take on that project."

Hesper was stunned for a moment, as it had been a long time since she heard that name.
