Chapter 97
Rickard finally reacted when he heard Hesper’s name. He stretched out his hand, and Benji gave him
the phone.
“Speak. What’s going on?”
Juniper was upset. “Rickard, we’ve known each other for so
many years. Do I have to mention Hesper for you to want to speak to me?”
“I have limited time. I’m going to hang up if you don’t get to the point.”
“Don’t-!” Juniper bit her lips and told him the hospital’s location. “Hesper is more ruthless than you
imagined. You’ll find out what she did when you get here.”
“Stop being dramatic.” He impatiently pinched the bridge of his phone and lazily leaned back on his
chair. This had something to do with Hesper, so it piqued his curiosity.
“Let’s go take a look.”
Benji saw how his emotion changed and couldn’t help but ask, Mr. Duval, you miss Mrs. Duval, don’t
you? You get uneasy every time her name is mentioned.” NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
“Mind your own business.”
They both went to the hospital and soon found Juniper’s room. What they saw was a face that was red,
black, and swollen.
“Are we… in the wrong room?” Benji looked at the room number. It was the right one.
Juniper angrily glared at them. “It’s the right room. It’s me!”
Rickard and Benji froze when they heard her voice.
Luckily, Rickard had a strong heart, so he calmly asked, “What happened? What does Hesper have to
do with this?”
“Hesper! She’s the only thing on your mind!” Juniper hated her to the bones as she clenched her jaw.
“She’s the reason I look like this! We grew up together, but instead of asking if I’m alright, all you could
think about is that b*tch!”
He frowned. “Watch your language.”
That made Juniper even more furious. “She’s a b*tch. I wouldn’t -look like this if it weren’t for her!”
“Tell me exactly what happened.”
“After I left your home last night, she cornered me and made her bodyguard feed me something. She
said I’m going to turn ugly. This was what I looked like when I woke up!”
Her black face turned red and her skin started flaking after the
aesthetic session.
She thought that it was the products involved and forced the doctor to do it again, but the doctor said
that people would look younger. She was the only one who looked uglier!
She suspected it was that thing!
“Rickard, I don’t want to turn ugly. Can you please help?” Juniper was tearing up in fear. How could she
walk around with this face?
Rickard frowned but didn’t immediately believe her. “That’s what
you say. How do I know that you aren’t lying?”
Juniper almost lost her breath. “I’m not lying! If I lie, I’ll get hit by a bus. How about that?”
Rickard was still hesitant, but if she would curse herself, she was probably desperate.
After a few seconds of silence, he asked, “How do you want me to help?”
“Ask her for an antidote and give it to me! I can’t wait anymore!”
“She might not listen to me.” Rickard was being honest. From what happened last night, it was obvious
that Hesper hated him, so why would she listen?
Juniper cried and said, “I don’t care. Figure something out. If I don’t recover, I might as well die! I’m the
only descendant of the Wight family. The worst thing that could happen is that my family ends with me.”
