A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love

Chapter 496

The mysterious doctor and Julian froze. They exchanged a glance when they heard Hesper's question.

Just when they thought Hesper had realized something, she just acted normally and told them to

continue the treatment as if she was just joking.

Julian frowned and the mysterious doctor patted his shoulder. "Focus. Hand me the needle."

"Yes, sir."

Hesper watched their reactions, and a hint of amusement flickered in her eyes. In the end, she did not

say anything, but her gaze involuntarily fell on the bouquet of roses by the bedside.

When Hesper woke up the next day, she skillfully got onto her wheelchair. She went downstairs, and as

soon as she turned her head around, she realized that the bouquet of roses she placed on the

windowsill last night had withered.

Hesper frowned and maneuvered her wheelchair over to the roses. Sure enough, the whole bouquet

had wilted overnight and lost all its vitality.

'What happened?'

Just then, Pennleigh's phone call came in. Hesper decided to put the roses aside and went forward to

answer the phone first. "What's the matter?"

"Matthew has come to Eustoma," Pennleigh said, sounding a bit nervous. "He said he wants to see

you. I'm hiding in the bathroom right now as I'm talking to you. Do you want to come up with an excuse

and run?"

Hesper was silent for a moment before asking, "Did he say why he wanted to see me?"

"He didn't say anything. He just said that he wanted to see you," Pennleigh whispered after switching

the phone to his other hand and opening the bathroom door slightly to make sure that Matthew was not

around.

Hesper frowned. "There's no use in running. If he's really discovered my identity, he'll find me

eventually. Tell him that I'll be there soon. I have a little problem here."

"What's the problem?" Pennleigh asked.

Hesper looked at the wilted roses on her windowsill and sighed. "Well, it's nothing serious, but do you

know where I can get carnation?"

"Huh?"

Matthew sat on the couch. While he was flipping through the fashion magazine, he gazed around River

A.'s office from time to time. Since the door was made from glass, he could see the decoration inside

clearly. It was simple and clean, much like Hesper's style.

Even though the designer's name was just similar to Hesper's, Matthew still decided to come to

Fredonia and see whether this designer called River A. was Hesper or not. He had been looking for

Hesper for the past four months. He had found many people who looked like her but none that were

her.

When Rachael told him about River A., he did not know why but he had a hunch that this person had

some similarities to Hesper, so he came here to check. This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

Even if it was not her, he still wanted to confirm it with his own eyes.

When Hesper entered the office in her wheelchair, she saw Matthew sitting on the couch with a frown.

He was looking at the magazine as if it had offended him.

It had been a long time since she last saw her brother.

Hesper's intense gaze finally caught Matthew's attention. He looked up and saw a familiar yet

unfamiliar face—or rather, a completely unfamiliar face, but with a strange sense of familiarity.

"You're…"

Hesper stretched her hand forward and greeted him. "Hi, I'm River A., the designer that you were

looking for."
