A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love

Chapter 519

The person who confirmed Rachael’s identity the other day was Simon, but for some reason, she

always felt as if he did not like her very much. Hence, every time she saw him, she would become very

obsequious and dared not speak.

Not wanting to say more, Matthew turned to look at Theodore. "How’s Grandpa doing? I’ll go up and

change into something else before I go to the hospital."

"He’s doing okay. His condition has stabilized a lot."

The hall once again became silent.

Theodore had always been a rather taciturn person and Matthew had long gotten used to his

personality, so the two of them went upstairs in silence until the people downstairs could not hear them.

That was when Theodore hesitated before speaking.

"Matthew, when you were abroad this time around... Did you find Hesper?"

Matthew paused for a moment, and then told him the truth. "I did find her. She’s living a good life over

there. Her leg injuries have also been cured, so she should be able to come back to Halwanest soon."

"That’s great news." A smile finally appeared on Theodore’s indifferent face.

Matthew pursed his lips. "Uncle Theo, I didn't have the chance to ask you this before, but there’s

something that I just haven’t been able to figure out... Did you really know that Hesper was your

daughter all along?"

Theodore did not deny the statement, nor did he admit it. "Why do you say so?"

"Something just feels wrong in so many aspects. Do you really think that Grandpa believed it?"

The conversation could go on forever as soon as Matthew threw the question out, but the smile on

Theodore’s face did not fade away. He looked slightly relieved. "I can only say that if Ben were still

alive, he'd be very proud of you."

This was a weird and unreasonable response, so Matthew frowned.

Theodore continued. "I did know about Hesper’s existence a long time ago. Back then, my wife, your

aunt, was the one who personally sent her to the orphanage. Later on, I brought Shawn there to visit

her too."

Matthew failed to catch the underlying message of Theodore’s words. The two of them had already

arrived at the door of Matthew’s room.

"Alright, go and change your clothes. Your grandpa must be delighted to see you," Theodore said NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

unconcernedly. "Ever since you went abroad to look for Hesper, it’s been quite a long time since you

last visited your grandpa."

He did not hear any blame in Theodore's tone, but when Matthew thought about it very carefully,

Theodore’s statement seemed to be true.

After the revelation of Hesper’s identity, Matthew felt that his grandfather had been too cruel for

instantly dismissing Hesper’s position in the company. Hence, he had not come to visit him again since

then. However, he did not expect his grandfather to fall ill during his next visit.

"...Okay."

While Matthew turned around and entered his room, Theodore continued to stand in front of the door

for a while more.

"Ben, can you see this from up there?"

As expected, Hesper managed to push through the whole rehabilitation procedure in under two weeks.

The moment she stood up from the wheelchair completely, she breathed a sigh of relief.

‘Thank God that I completed it just in time. The time for me to go back home won’t get delayed now.’

River A.: Ms. Wight, I’m traveling to Halwanest tomorrow, but I still have some things to deal with as

soon as I get there, so I can’t deliver the gowns to you in person. However, I’ll definitely come witness

the love between you and your husband in person on your wedding day.

While Hesper casually sent the message, Pennleigh handed over the two gowns to her with a rather

complicated expression.

"Hesper, are you really... Are you really going back so soon?"
