    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 andzily 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.”


    “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,


    ck, and swollen.


    “Are we… in the wrong room?” Benji looked at the room number. It was the right one.


    Juniper angrily red 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 yournguage.”


    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 homest 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 ck face turned red and her skin started king 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 happenedst 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.”
