Chapter 21
The reply she received was the man waving his hand in a cold, dismissive manner.
Hesper’s world turned gray and dark once again.
The doctor determined the diagnosis soon.
“Sir, Mrs. Duval has some bleeding in her body that caused nerve compression, perhaps due to the severe injuries she suffers from. This has resulted in her hallucination and disorientation.”
In other words, perhaps the voice clip mentioned by her never existed from the start and everything was a result of Hesper’s hallucination.
Meanwhile, Juniper stepped forward and said in a grieving tone, “If that’s the case, why is she only targeting Sophia and me? We didn’t provoke her or anything.”
The doctor was already bribed by Madam Duval from the start. He said as he was ordered by her, “It is very normal for the patient to subconsciously regard her most hated person as her enemy during the
hallucination episodes. In fact, the patient will even take herself for the innocent party and attempt to deal
with the issues in real life through this method.”
“I see!” Sophia said in a sarcastic tone. “So she regards us as enemies on usual days and that’s why she staged her own play in this incident?”
“You can put it that way.” The doctor nodded.
Sophia immediately tutted twice. “I didn’t think Hesper loathed Juni and me so much that she’d labeled us as murderers even when she’s so severely injured! She must have gone through so much trouble to do that!”
Next to her, Juniper said with reddened eyes, “But I didn’t do anything wrong. When she told me she loved Rickard in the past, I went away so she could achieve her aim. Why is she still vilifying me like this?”
Rickard kept quiet and observed everything until this point. He said to Juniper, “I’m sorry that I doubted you without figuring out the situation. I’m sorry that you’ve been wronged.”
“Don’t mention it anymore. You know that I’ll never decline your request. Let alone checking my phone, I wouldn’t even say a word if you wanted to examine my identity…”
Her eyes and nose reddened; the sight of her was pitiful.
“I’m a person too and I can’t accept that a man who used to love me very much would suspect that I’m a
murderer!”
Juniper cried and ran out of the room.
Sophia urged from the side, “Dick, what are you still doing here? Go after Juni, quick! She didn’t sleep all night yesterday, and now she’s extremely aggrieved! I don’t want her to do something foolish to herself.”
Upon hearing that, Rickard’s expression changed drastically, and he went after her immediately.
Madam Duval and Sophia were left in the room. They exchanged a glance with each other and landed their icy cold gaze on the bed.Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated for All Books Updates…
The effect of the tranquilizer was wearing off by now and Hesper was regaining consciousness gradually.
“Don’t look for him anymore. Dick is going after Juni to apologize to her. What? Are you disappointed?”
Sophia walked toward her step by step, her eyes glistening with a malicious glow.
Almost. The b*tch almost convinced my brother. It’s fortunate that we were well prepared. Otherwise, we would have already been exposed by now.
Hesper looked at her coldly, having no idea what transpired during the time she was unconscious.
“What did you do this time?”
Sophia took sick pleasure in stirring up Hesper’s disgust. “Nothing much. The doctor determined your diagnosis of amnesia and disorientation, so every word spoken by you can possibly be due to hallucination.”
Hesper felt her heart sink instantly.
If that was the case, Rickard would not believe her anymore.
“You’re despicable.”
