A Spoonful of Sugar: Don't Beg for Love novel Chapter 515

Hesper closed her eyes for a moment.

‘How could I forget about this? Julian was obviously being manipulated before, but I completely overlooked that when he reappeared in front of me. Antellon is Daybreak’s territory, yet Rickard actually went to snatch them out of their headquarters. He probably took a great risk for that.’

...

Rickard sat on the bed and frowned.

The documents in his hand fell to the ground. Rickard clenched his weak hand, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath.

When Matthew walked into the ward, he saw Rickard was about to bend down to pick up the papers on the floor and stepped forward to pick them up for him. "Why are you still try to put on a tough façade? Didn’t the doctor tell you not to move?"

Rickard took the document from him.

"If it weren't for Hesper’s sake," Matthew said awkwardly, "I wouldn’t even care about your life. If you were to die here, Hesper would certainly feel guilty for it."

Hearing this, Rickard paused. "Oh, would she?"

Matthew clenched his fists. If it weren’t for the fact that a punch might kill Rickard, Matthew would have shown no mercy that day.

"As soon as Hesper’s leg injuries recover, you should bring her away from here." Rickard’s voice sounded emotionless. "I’m the cause of her leg injuries, so just consider it as my way of compensating her."

"Do you really think her legs are all that you owe her?" Matthew asked.

Rickard looked at Hesper, who lowered her gaze.

"Mr. Lane, can you come out with me for a bit?" Professor Miles said. "I have something to talk to you about."

"Me?" Matthew frowned. "Sir, you can say anything to me here. You’ve cured Hesper’s legs, so that makes you a benefactor of the Lanes. If you have any requests, just name them."

Professor Miles pulled Matthew away. "It’s not as easy for me to bring the topic up in here. Just come out with me..."

Dragging the confused man out, Professor Miles could not help but think deep down, ‘This young man may look smart, but he can he be very slow-witted!’
