"Ahem…" Rickard also realized that he was being foolish. He rubbed his temples helplessly. "I'm sorry."
The mysterious doctor laughed. As he started recalling his past, the smile on his face slowly faded away. "Talking about these things seems a bit distant now. Considering your age, it's already something from the previous generation."
"Sir…" Julian walked in, and upon seeing Rickard, he silently stood to the side.
The mysterious doctor stood up, grabbed the things he needed for that day, and asked, "Is Hesper back?"
Julian nodded, and Rickard remained silent.
"I'll tell you some other time," the strange doctor said. "I know what you want to ask. Hesper's condition is getting better. I assure you that I'll give you back a lively ex-wife within six months."
Julian glanced at Rickard, but he did not say anything and followed after the mysterious doctor.
Rickard also got up and went up to the balcony. He watched as Hesper went into her house with a fresh bouquet of roses in her arms. The roses were beautiful and vibrant, and they matched Hesper greatly.
Hesper placed the roses on the table and went upstairs to change her clothes.
When Julian and the mysterious doctor came in, the mysterious doctor turned his head around and said, "I'm going to the study and grabbing the book that I left there before. You get everything ready first, and I'll come over in a bit."
"Okay, sir," Julian replied.
While Julian was getting everything ready and making sure nothing was left behind, his gaze fell on the bouquet roses on the table, and his face turned cold.
