A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love

Chapter 571

"Okay, go then."

This was not Hesper’s first visit to Arthur’s room. Hesper thought of the moments she shared with

Arthur back then and felt that fate really had its own way of playing with people.

After all, familial affection was something she thought she didn't deserve, and she had always

reminded herself that, sooner or later, she would have to return everything that she owed to someone

else.

Thinking of this, Hesper suddenly hesitated to open the door, but she still made up her mind and

knocked on the door.

"Is that Hesper? Come in."

Hesper was a little surprised. Hearing Arthur’s voice, it seemed that he had been waiting for her for a

long time. Without much hesitation, Hesper quietly opened the door and walked in after obtaining

Arthur’s permission.

"You’ve lost a lot of weight." Arthur was laying on his bed. He took a closer look at Hesper and then

sighed. "Life must be very difficult out there. You look much thinner than you did a year ago. You’re now

almost as thin as you were when you first came here."

Hesper did not expect such an opening remark, and this instantly caused the bottom of her eyes to

slightly tear up.

It was as if nothing had happened before this, and she was still Arthur’s most beloved granddaughter.

Arthur seemed to know what Hesper was thinking, so he motioned her to come over and then patted

the back of her hand like he always did in the past. "If you’ve suffered any grievances out there, don’t

forget about the Lanes and me... Apart from that, how can you be this cruel to your grandpa? It’s been

a whole year since you last came here to visit me."

Hesper lowered her head. "I don’t think I should show up here anymore. Now that Rachael has

returned, I can’t help but feel guilty about the fact that I stole a lot of her things, including her identity."

"Silly girl." Arthur sighed and did not say much. Hesper had a hunch that he seemed to have something

to say, but when he met her probing gaze, he chose to keep it to himself.

After catching up with Arthur for some time, Hesper finally felt slightly more relaxed than before. This

was the only time where she had room to catch her breath in recent days, so before she knew it, she

had already fallen asleep beside Arthur’s bed.

Arthur stroked Hesper’s hair affectionately and then covered her with a thin quilt.

…

It was already dawn when she woke up again. Realizing that she had fallen asleep on the edge of her

grandfather’s bed, Hesper smacked her head in a daze.

When she opened the door of the room, she just so happened to run into the driver of the Lanes.

Howard had had a good relationship with Hesper in the past because Hesper had been kind to others

and did not showcase the attitude of a spoiled young lady. Even when he picked her up a few minutes

late once, Hesper did not blame him.

Meeting Hesper’s gaze, Howard instantly lowered his head with a guilty conscience.

Hesper initiated the conversation first. "Mr. Lindberg, what are you doing here so early?" This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Howard nodded with a complicated expression and then looked around.

Thinking that no one was awake at this time, he dragged Hesper to the side. The guilt in his expression

became more and more intense.

"Ms. Lane, are you angry at me for not picking you up yesterday?"

It would be a complete lie if she were to say that she did not feel disappointed at all. Although Hesper

understood the truth that humans would die for money and birds would die for food, she had shown

genuine affection to all those people. But once she was no longer the eldest daughter of the Lanes, the

people whom she regarded as her elders were quick to abandon her.

Recalling all this, it was still rather sad to see them react so.
