    Chapter 187


    “Is Grandpa sick?”


    Rickard remained silent and did not deny it, which, in Hesper’s eyes, was equivalent to him admitting


    it.


    Hesper pulled the car over and parked in a parking space on the side of the road, then turned around


    and looked at Rickard with a worried expression. “How did Grandpa fall ill all of a sudden? Didn’t his


    condition stabilize after he went abroad and received treatment?”


    When Renfrew heard that his great-grandfather was sick, he immediately looked at Rickard.


    ‘Among the Duvais, other than Daddy, Great-grandpa is the only person who treats me well!’


    The reason why Rickard did not want to mention it was of course, that he did not want Hesper to get


    distracted by worrying about this matter. But the main reason was that Ernest now knew what


    happened before Hesper left.


    He had locked the recording pen that Hesper left behind back then in his study, but when Ernest came


    to find a document the other day, he identally found the recording pen that had been locked away in


    the drawer.

    After listening to the recording, Ernest was exasperated. He then sent someone to investigate all the


    events that took ce back then. And because of that, his heart disease, which had stabilized after the


    treatments, rpsed abruptly. He had not made aplete recovery since then.


    “How…?” Hesper felt extreme remorse at that moment.


    ‘If I hadn’t left the recorder behind, Grandpa’s illness wouldn’t have rpsed…’


    “It’s not your fault. Grandfather… He’s made them kneel in the courtyard for three days. But such a


    penalty


    is still too lenient for them.”


    ‘Regardless of whether Hesper is someone that Grandpa loves, Mother and Sophia definitely didn’t


    bully. Hesper just for fun. They wanted to actually kill her back then! Grandpa won’t allow someone who


    doesn’t take human lives seriously to stay in the Duvals!”


    Even so, Hesper still felt very guilty.


    ‘If it weren’t for me, Grandpa wouldn’t have fallen ill. He’s already so old. He’s taken so many


    medicines and undergone so many diagnoses and treatments to finally get his condition under control.


    Any stimuli might overload his body, let alone such an urgent rpse.’


    “Would you like to pay Grandpa a visit?” Rickard asked suddenly. “He’s always missing you, but


    because we’re… divorced… Coupled with the fact that you’ve found your family, he didn’t want to have


    to disturb you.”


    “Of course, he’s the person who raised me.” Hesper’s eyes were bloodshot, and she felt even more


    guilty.”


    I should’ve visited him as soon as I came back. It’s just that I was so selfish and only thought about


    myself. What does any of this have to do with Grandpa.?” 1


    “He’s obviously one of the people who love me the most in the world.”


    “Then let’s visit him tomorrow.”


    The next day happened to be a public holiday, so Hesper nodded immediately. “Renfrew, you should


    “Okay, I’ll go too!”


    Rickard gazed at the two of them and then nodded in agreement. “Grandpa will be exhrated to see


    you.”


    att


    Hesper could hardly sleep that night. All she could think about was how Ernest protected her in the


    past.


    ‘If it wasn’t for him, Julian and I might have had to grow up in the orphanage. I might not have had the


    opportunity to attend college, and Julian wouldn’t have been able to be a doctor.’


    ‘…Oh yeah!’


    Hesper sat up, grabbed her phone, and hesitated for a bit.


    ‘Speaking of doctors, Julian’s master… Since he was even able to cure my legs, perhaps he could do


    something about grandpa’s illness!”


    She took a glimpse at the time; it was already midnight. She fidgeted with her phone in her hands


    before hesitantly sending a text message.
