Chapter 169Chapter 169
‘However, it’s useless to hold onto the past.”
Hesper’s wound would not scab and recover. The doctor was so infuriated with her that he ignored her
identity and almost pointed to her nose and started reprimanding her.
In order to help maintain the doctor’s blood pressure, Hesper decided to take good care of her injuries.
and promised that she would not move around again.
During this period, Isaac saw Rickard standing at the door of Hesper’s ward several times. He did not
know what he was thinking about, but he did not open the door and enter.
Naturally, Isaac would not hide such matters from Hesper. After all, he had already told her what
Rickard asked him not to say the other day, let alone such a trivial matter.
“…Just let him be.”
Hesper had been wondering.
‘He was so proactive before the accident took place, so why didn’ he show up after he woke up from
his coma? It turns out that he snuck over to my ward from time to time just to have a look, but he
doesn’t have the guts to show up.’
Of course, Rickard was not afraid of appearing in front of her but hesitant.
Recently, he had been thinking of Hesper when she was chasing after him back then. In fact, Hesper
was not as annoying as he thought at that time.
And since Ernest told him to look after her, it was only natural for him to treat Hesper a little differently now.
‘Hesper has always been a very introverted and quiet person. She’s like a sharp stone whose edges
and corners have been sanded and smoothed, and one can only know how stubborn she can be by
spending time and getting along with her. It’s because of various reasons that she has to conceal her
true self and try to portray herself as a peaceful and quiet lady.
‘If she hadn’t gotten into my bed, slept with me, and coerced me into marrying her and making her Mrs.
Duval back then, I would probably have taken her in as my younger sister and taken care of her up till
today.
‘Thinking about it now, apart from this wrongdoing, everything else that I thought she did was
deliberately staged by others to frame her. My prejudice is the sole reason why she is who she is
today.’
novelbin“Rickard Duval.” Hesper opened the door of the ward and looked at the man in front of her
expressionlessly. “How much longer do you plan to stand there? You might not feel ashamed, but I
do.”
That was when Rickard returned to his senses and realized that he had gone to Hesper’s ward again.
I didn’t…” Before Rickard could finish speaking, Hesper had already dragged him into the ward.
The interior design of the wards was the same; there was a small couch to sit on.
Hesper still had a few stacks of documents that she needed to go through, so she did not talk to
Rickard but went back to bed and continued working.
In order to ensure that the wound would not open again, Hesper moved very slowly. Rickard wanted to
stride forward to help her out, but she avoided him. Hesper did not say anything, and Rickard did not speak either. The two each occupied one corner in
the
ward. Hesper was dealing with work while Rickard was watching her.
Mommy… Daddy?”
In the evening, Isaac brought Renfrew over to visit his mommy, but the first thing that caught his eyes
as soon as he entered the door was his daddy and mommy sharing the same space.
Hesper raised her head when she heard his voice and realized that time just flew by when she saw
Renfrew. She could not help but feel a little surprised.
It had been so quiet all this while, so quiet that Hesper thought she was the only person in the room,
and she did not expect that so long had passed.-
Rickard was also pondering about things deep down, and Renfrew’s voice was the alarm that pulled
him back to reality.
He never thought that he and Hesper could spend so long together without disturbing each other; it felt
amazing.
Seeing this scene, the happiest person was Renfrew After all, every time his mommy and daddy came.
together, they had always been at each other’s throats. And although he was only a child, he could still
see that they were only playing pretend to coax him.
But both his daddy and his mommy were great parents, so he did not want them to quarrel.
