A Spoonful of Sugar: Don't Beg for Love novel Chapter 517

Matthew walked in and saw the two of them sitting in the same room without talking to each other. He did not know who was suffocating the other in this situation.

In the end, Hesper was the first to raise her head and see Matthew. "Matt... What’s wrong?"

Matthew straightened his face. "I might have to go back to Halwanest tomorrow... Grandpa has fallen sick. It’s quite a sudden illness, and his condition is more serious than before."

"What?" Hesper frowned when she heard that. "Why would he suddenly fall sick? Grandpa has always been in good health."

Arthur’s sudden illness had also interrupted Matthew’s original plan. He originally planned to wait for Hesper’s legs to fully recover before returning to Halwanest. Everything had been arranged too, but he did not expect Arthur to suddenly fall ill.

The two walked out of the ward. Matthew took off his jacket and draped it over Hesper’s shoulders.

"Don’t worry too much. Grandpa’s health has always been rather good, so he’ll be fine." Matthew knew that Hesper’s life was already in a mess, so he should not add more burden onto her shoulders. He patted her on the shoulder. "Take care of yourself. You can talk to Grandpa when you've fully recovered and go back to Halwanest."

For a moment, Hesper was at a loss for words. She never had the chance to tell Matthew what 013 said to her on the plane.

That she was not related to the Lanes by blood.

But it was not a suitable time for that, so Hesper could only nod. "Don’t worry about me. Professor Miles claims that my charts look great, so I’ll return to Halwanest as soon as my legs are healed."

"Really?" Matthew was originally worried that Hesper would stay behind because of Rickard’s condition, but Hesper’s expression looked very decisive.

Seeing Matthew’s expression, Hesper could not help but give a smile. "Do I look like someone who doesn’t know how to prioritize?"

Hesper also told Matthew about the call that she had received from Juniper recently. Matthew could not help but feel relieved to see that Hesper was indeed unaffected by Rickard.

"After going back to Halwanest, I’ll get rid of Juniper first... And no matter what, Rickard’s poisoning was caused by me, so I won’t shirk my responsibility. After I’ve tackled everything here, I’ll definitely head back home."
