A Spoonful of Sugar: Don't Beg for Love novel Chapter 512

The smirk on Julian’s lips disappeared. He glanced at Hesper, who was lying on the bed with her eyes tightly shut, and said in a deep voice, "This has nothing to do with you, Master. I know that the Duvals are very powerful, but I already thought it through before deciding to do this."

"What’s there for you to think about? Hesper and Rickard love each other. Do they really need you to intervene in their relationship?" Professor Miles snorted coldly. "Don’t do a whole list of things that’ll only move you and only you at the end of the day."

"You don’t even know how Rickard treated Hesper before. I can’t let her go back to him." Julian sneered. "As for the antidote, there’s none. Since I wanted to poison Rickard, why would I leave a way out for him...? He’ll soon die of organ failure. I’ll be watching from the side as he kicks the bucket little by little. And he’s not going to get the chance to turn things arou—"

His words were cut off, as Professor Miles slapped him across the face.

Julian turned his head to the side from the impact, taken aback. "...Not even you can stop me now, Master."

Julian licked the blood oozing through the corner of his lips, his gaze looking like that of a caged beast. "Even if you know that I’m the one who poisoned Rickard Duval, so what? You have no evidence and no antidote. Not to mention that we’ve lived together for so many years. Would you really have the heart to watch me go down in flames because of this incident?"

Professor Miles shook his head. Looking at the man standing in front of him, he could not help but feel as if he had never truly known him.

"Back then, I was willing to take you in because I remember that Julian Zink was a man who begged to see me and tried every means to get me to be his master in order to get the best treatment for Hesper." Professor Miles shook his head, staring at the familiar yet unfamiliar man. After a long while, he sighed. "From now on, you’re no longer my apprentice!"

"Why must you be so stubborn, Professor?" Julian took a look at the time.

‘It stands to reason that the effect of the anesthetics that Hesper is on is already coming to an end. If I continue blabbering here, I won’t be able to hide the fact that I’ve poisoned Rickard or that he’s on the verge of death from her.’
