It was as if she was the extra person present in the corridor, while Rickard and Hesper were the members of a family here...
This realization caused Julie to be stunned, and she stared at the two suspiciously.
She had not seen Rickard in a long time. Julie was not sure what Rickard’s feelings for Hesper were, but she had not forgotten how he was bewitched by Hesper before.
‘Have they reconciled and gotten back together?’
Hesper folded her arms. On the other side of the vexatious woman, as soon as she saw someone she knew, the nurse hurried over and reported anxiously beside Hesper, "Ms. Lane, this lady has been here many times, but Ms. Xanthos told me that you wouldn’t want her to come into the ward."
"You’ve done well." The corners of Hesper’s lips twitched. "Irrelevant personnel shouldn’t be allowed to enter the ward."
"What are you talking about? You shrew! The blood that’s flowing in Renfrew’s body belongs to the Duvals, so how am I an irrelevant individual?" Julie glared at her. However, because Sophia was not by her side that day, she seemed to feel a lot less confident.
Looking at Julie’s weakened presence, Hesper sneered and then squinted her eyes as she chuckled. Everything that she did was full of mockery.
"When Renfrew was living in the Duvals' residence, I never saw you act so nervously. I don’t know what kind of façade you’re trying to put on." Hesper did not believe that Julie missed Renfrew at all. "Plus, I don’t think Renfrew wants to see you either."
Taking a glance at Rickard who was standing silently at the side, not uttering anything, Julie immediately stepped forward and grabbed her son, who had always been very taciturn. "Are you seeing this? Just look at how this woman talks to me!”
Rickard did not think that this was unusual. Hesper had not been very polite-sounding when she was speaking to him either.
He could not help but frown at Julie’s mean and harsh look. "Mother, this is a hospital. You shouldn’t be speaking so loudly."
