"It seems like even heaven doesn't want the flower to die at all," the mysterious doctor said. "Alright. Don't think too much. Let's get inside first."
Julian clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles were turning white. "Why? Why is even heaven helping him? No… This isn't supposed to be happening. I put so much medicine on it. There's no way the flower hasn't wilted yet…"
The mysterious doctor walked over and observed the flower. After a while, he sighed in realization.
He had not looked closely at the bouquet of flowers before. He had just heard others say it was roses, so he assumed they were. But now, he could see that it was a bunch of carnations.
The day before, the mysterious doctor had already felt that something was off about Hesper's attitude.
Why did she suddenly say things that made them nervous and scared? It turned out that Hesper already knew that their neighbor was Rickard and that all of them were staying in the house next to her house.
And the reason these delicate flowers were still alive was not because of their tenacity or sunlight. It was because someone had been putting fresh bouquets inside every day to keep them forever fresh and beautiful. It was not heaven that had helped Rickard but Hesper.
The mysterious doctor straightened up and looked at his foolish apprentice. He patted his shoulder and decided not to tell him the truth. "Let's go inside. Otherwise, we won't be able to explain ourselves if Hesper asks later."
Julian raised his head up to look at the terrace. However, the terrace was specially built, so he could not see anything.
'Rickard! How could you?'

The condition of Hesper's legs were improving rapidly just as they expected since she had been very cooperative toward the treatment plan.
Before this, the mysterious doctor had been worried that Hesper would not listen to him since Rickard told him before that she was particularly stubborn. However, the truth was that Hesper was a rather cooperative patient, especially when he compared her to his last patient.
