A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love

Chapter 494

When Roberto returned, he found that Hesper was sitting in a wheelchair.

"What on earth…"

Hesper stuck her tongue out mischievously. "This is my new mount. I won't have to walk anymore. Isn't

it convenient?"

Roberto knew that Hesper had injuries on her legs, and she got seriously ill after getting caught in the

rain, which worsened the injuries. But… why did she not tell him that it had become this severe?

Seeing Roberto's increasingly serious expression, Hesper also knew that he really believed it, and

quickly explained, "Don't take it seriously. My legs are fine. I was just joking with you."

"Really?" The frown on Roberto's forehead did not go away as he signed. "So why are you on a

wheelchair now? Has your condition become so serious?"

Hesper shook her head and told him everything that happened recently. His expression relaxed when

he heard that she was receiving treatment. "It'd be great if your leg injury could be cured. You need to Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

cooperate well with the doctor."

"I know. I cherish this opportunity more than anyone else," Hesper said, lowering her head. "The new

semester is starting. When I finish my studies here, my legs will probably be better… and then I will

return to my country."

Roberto was aware of Hesper's decision for a long time. He knew that she did not come here to run

away from her family. She just wanted to have more choices for herself.

It was only by experiencing more things in the world that she could handle other things better.

"Well, I'll support all your decisions, but you need to remember that I'll always be here for you whenever

you need help," Roberto said as he patted Hesper's shoulder. He changed the topic. "Penn is pretty

good. Are you really not going to consider him?"

Hesper lowered her eyes and her heart stirred.

"Mr. Sanchez, there is one thing I think you were right about. You said that only by leaving the previous

environment can I see many things more clearly. I think I now have a better answer."

Roberto did not quite understand what Hesper meant; he saw her waving at him. "I'm going home for

treatment. You don't know, but my doctor has a bad temper. If I'm late, he'll definitely prescribe some

bitter medicine for me."

"Is he that fierce?"

"Hah, you have no idea."

The mysterious doctor sneezed, rubbed his nose, and continued to carefully examine the X-ray of

Hesper's legs.

After receiving his treatment for some time, the condition of Hesper's leg had improved significantly,

and the wheelchair had also reduced the burden on her legs. If things continued like this, she would

soon be able to undergo surgery.

The progress was faster than expected, and suddenly there was a rustling sound outside the door. The

mysterious doctor did not close the door. He thought it was Julian, so he called him in.

"It's me…"

Upon hearing Rickard's voice, the mysterious doctor looked up and greeted him. "Mr. Duval? Please

come in."

After spending some time with him, the mysterious doctor had realized that Rickard did not have any

other outrageous requests apart from wanting to cure Hesper's leg injuries. He was much better than

the typical capitalist he had imagined, so he greeted him warmly.

"Did you climb over the wall again?"

Rickard coughed twice, and the mysterious doctor pointed to the bits of leaves on his collar and sighed.

"I can't believe that such a devoted person like you would be one of the Duvals. I thought all the rich

people in Halwanest were more amorous."

"Have you been to Halwanest before?"

Rickard removed the leaves from his collar and saw that the mysterious doctor was looking at him as if

he were a fool. Then the doctor pointed to his own face and said, "Look at me. Look at my face. Do I

not look Halwanese to you?"
