A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 10

In the gynecology ward of First Crest Hospital in Genecity, the doctor shouted anxiously as he looked at the weak, pregnant woman on the delivery bed, “Push, push!”However, Hesper Rivera had already exhausted her strength at this point and her small face was ghastly pale. Her lips that were chewed through did not have a tinge of color in them, and she was barely breathing. “This is bad! The patient is experiencing a difficult birth, and she is hemorrhaging!” The doctor’s expression changed drastically when he realized the urgency of the patient’s condition. He immediately ran out of the delivery room and said, “Family members of Ms. Hesper Rivera, where are the family members? The patient’s condition is critical!”However, the Duvals family members sitting at the waiting area were as calm as a cucumber. They did not appear to be anxious in the slightest, looking so unbothered that one would even wonder if they were related to Hesper in the delivery room. The people sitting here

Because of Rickard, Hesper tried all sorts of ways to please the Duvals in the past. She would always put up with them no matter how badly Madam Duval and Sophia insulted her. Sophia was used to seeing Hesper’s submissive mannerism, so she was caught off guard when Hesper called her a toad. She was incredulous. “How dare you scold me, Hesper!”“I can scold you if I want. Do I need to choose a day?” The utterly disappointed Hesper felt as if she was free from the heavy burden weighing down on her. She stopped holding back. Feeling as if her authority was challenged, Sophia was so furious that her face flushed scarlet. She pointed at Hesper and burst out in a torrent of abuses. “You b*tch, who the f*ck do you think you are…”Hesper slapped away Sophia’s pointing finger. Sophia, refusing to be treated that way, stretched out her hand and shoved Hesper ferociously.Hesper, caught off guard, lost her balance due to her weak physical condition. She missed a step on the stairs and roll

It was found out through the doctor’s examination that Hesper’s fragile uterus was indeed injured during the process. She would need to rest and recuperate, or it would possibly result in infertility in the future. She did not feel anything when she heard that. She waited until she could walk before she went looking for Rickard with the divorce papers. Rickard was sitting in the study room with a nonchalant expression as if he was expecting her. “Rickard.” Hesper made his way to the man slowly and placed the divorce papers in her hand gently. She said calmly, “These are the divorce papers. I don’t want anything from it. If you have no objection, please sign these.”Rickard looked down to Hesper’s fine penmanship and strangely found her handwriting to be an eyesore. “Who says that I have no objection?”Hesper pursed her lips. “You may voice your request.”Rickard did not even rifle through the divorce papers before he said in a cold, merciless tone, “Hesper, not only will you l

Her remark would cause a misunderstanding easily. Rickard frowned and said, “I’m married.”“You were supposed to be mine! Mine!”Juniper’s tears streamed down more profusely as if she was triggered by him. He used to care for her sincerely in the past after all. The vigilance in Rickard’s eyes diminished a little, and he pulled out a tissue that he passed to her. “Don’t cry. Don't you like to look pretty? Your eyes will swell from crying.”“I’ve already lost you, so I don’t care about beauty anymore.” Juniper suddenly hugged him and leaned her face into his chest. Rickard’s entire body shook. He was about to push her away when she said, “I didn’t leave willingly all those years ago. I was diagnosed with a tumor, and the doctor told me that I could possibly be infertile. I don’t know how Hesper found out about my condition, but she told Mr. Duval Sr., who came to see me with her and forced me to leave you.”“What?” Rickard’s expression was filled with shock. He had always take

The door of the nursery shut with a loud bang, and the deafening noise startled the baby. Hesper pursed her lips tightly and held the baby in her arms tighter. It did not take long before Madam Duval’s caring voice was heard coming from downstairs. “Rickard, it’s getting late. I’m concerned about Juniper going home by herself; it's not safe. You should send her home.”Rickard glanced outside and figured that it really was unsafe now that it was dark. “Let’s go then.”After both of them got into the car, Juniper asked casually, “Rickard, is Hesper…still bowing down?”Rickard remembered that Hesper was not bowing down when he went upstairs earlier, so he figured that she would not follow his order to bow down for the rest of the night. He said with a tinge of anger in his voice, “I can’t be bothered to know. If she wants to bring trouble upon herself, no one can save her.”“Don’t be angry anymore…” Juniper heaved a sigh of pity, but in her heart, she was overjoyed. Meanwhil
