A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love

Chapter 41

“If you haven’t done anything to betray me, then what are you afraid of?” Rickard grabbed her by the

wrist and subdued her firmly within his arms as cold and stern words escaped between his thin lips. “I’ll

never let anyone deceive me or hide something from me, so you have to go through the test whether

you like it or not!”

“You bastard!” Hesper cursed at him exasperatedly, and the walls of the mental prison that had been

used to contain and suppress the grievances within herself finally crumbled at that moment.

Her clear eyes welled up gradually and tears blurred her vision. Hesper could only hate herself for not

finding out that he was such a person before this.

“Rickard Duval, this relationship between me and you cracked a long time ago, and we didn’t file for a

divorce only because of your family. If you dare treat me like this, I’ll never forgive you!”

Hearing this, the level of Rickard’s anger skyrocketed.

‘She just seems to love to bring up the fact that our relationship is non -existential, doesn’t she? Then

I’ll have her see how I make the things. that I want to happen a reality!’

Soon, the car stopped at the entrance of the hospital.

Rickard, who was surrounded by a subzero aura, got out of the car

first.

“Get out here!”

“No! I haven’t done anything, so what makes you think you have the right to insult me like this?!”

Hesper curled in on herself in the car, and her aggrieved eyes were bloodshot.

‘I’m obviously the victim here, and he’s obviously the one who’s been

@

covering the matter up deliberately. None of this would have happened if it weren’t for him.

‘It’s him, Rickard Duval. He’s the one who’s been turning a blind eye toward the matter over and over

again. It’s his intentional connivance that made things become what they are today.

‘If I were to be dragged into this hospital and get my integrity verified through a bunch of tests, wouldn’t

it be a blatant announcement to the world that I, Hesper Rivera, almost got raped?

‘Why, why should a victim testify for herself through such an insulting way?

‘No, no one can make me do this, not even Rickard!’

“I’ll make myself clear right here and now. I haven’t done crap, so I don’t need to prove myself to

anyone! If you really can’t trust me, then show me some evidence. As long as you can prove that I’ve

indeed done something to betray you, I’ll kill myself just to apologize to you!”

However, Rickard was not in the mood to listen to a word she said. All he could think of at that moment

was the scene where she staggered after being drugged.

‘She looked so defenseless, so delirious, and she was found with a stranger. Who can be completely

sure that nothing really happened?’

Rickard said indifferently, “Since you keep saying that you’re innocent, then go in there and prove it to

me! Your resistance will only make others think that you’re guilty.”

He ordered someone to forcibly drag Hesper out of the car. There were quite a few passers-by at the

entrance of the hospital, and he proceeded without any regard for her reputation.

Hesper was hauled out and fell to the ground, but the bodyguards were still tightly grasping onto her

wrists. She lifted her head, her vision fogged by her tears. “Rickard Duval, do you really want to do

this your way?”,

“Yes,” the man replied without any hesitation.

Hesper’s heart hurt so much that it was already numb at that

moment.

She thought she would never feel sad ever again, but she did not realize until then that there was no

such thing as the worst feeling, a something worse would always be there, waiting for its turn!

“If you really insist, once my innocence gets proven, I won’t forgive you until the day I die. Even so, you

still won’t change your mind?”

Getting stared at by her teary eyes, Rickard hesitated for a split second. Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

However, Madam Duval’s words kept echoing in his mind.

‘I have to run the test in order to be at ease. What’s more, it’s just a test, and it’d also restore her

innocence and stop the public from gossiping, so why not?’

“I don’t care what you say. Just. Do. It.”

–Hesper stopped struggling all of a sudden. She stared at him soullessly as tear beads gushed down

her cheeks. “Okay, then I’ll do whatever you want, Mr. Duval!”
