A Spoonful of Sugar: Don't Beg for Love novel Chapter 496

The mysterious doctor and Julian froze. They exchanged a glance when they heard Hesper's question. Just when they thought Hesper had realized something, she just acted normally and told them to continue the treatment as if she was just joking.

Julian frowned and the mysterious doctor patted his shoulder. "Focus. Hand me the needle."

"Yes, sir."

Hesper watched their reactions, and a hint of amusement flickered in her eyes. In the end, she did not say anything, but her gaze involuntarily fell on the bouquet of roses by the bedside.

When Hesper woke up the next day, she skillfully got onto her wheelchair. She went downstairs, and as soon as she turned her head around, she realized that the bouquet of roses she placed on the windowsill last night had withered.

Hesper frowned and maneuvered her wheelchair over to the roses. Sure enough, the whole bouquet had wilted overnight and lost all its vitality.

'What happened?'

Just then, Pennleigh's phone call came in. Hesper decided to put the roses aside and went forward to answer the phone first. "What's the matter?"

"Matthew has come to Eustoma," Pennleigh said, sounding a bit nervous. "He said he wants to see you. I'm hiding in the bathroom right now as I'm talking to you. Do you want to come up with an excuse and run?"

Hesper was silent for a moment before asking, "Did he say why he wanted to see me?"

"He didn't say anything. He just said that he wanted to see you," Pennleigh whispered after switching the phone to his other hand and opening the bathroom door slightly to make sure that Matthew was not around.

Hesper frowned. "There's no use in running. If he's really discovered my identity, he'll find me eventually. Tell him that I'll be there soon. I have a little problem here."
