Chapter 452


    They were getting more and more derailed from the topic. Hesper hastily changed another topic and


    said, "Umm… Mrs. Pisano, it''s gettingte. I don''t want to bother you too much. I''m fine right now. You


    should go back to sleep."


    Isobe nodded. "Leave the broken ss at the door. You may identally cut your hand since it''s


    dark here. I''ll get the maid to clean it up tomorrow… Alright, it is gettingte. You should get back to


    bed."


    "Okay."


    Hesper heaved out a long sigh of relief after sending Isobe away. She locked the door and turned


    around, only to realize that she was doing something she should not have been doing, just as Rickard


    had said earlier in the afternoon.


    However, the thing was that she and Rickard did not do anything, and she had no rtionship with


    Pennleigh whatsoever.


    Rickard came out of the restroom, and there was a slightly awkward and helpless expression sitting on


    his face. Hesper found his expression somewhat funny, but she could notugh out loud. In the end,


    she just cleared her throat and said, "Alright. I need to sleep. You should leave now."


    Rickard also had not figured out how to talk to Hesper about what happened back then. Now that she


    had forgotten about it, he could think of the best way to make Hesper ept the thing, so he nodded.


    "Then you rest well. I''ll take you to the hospital tomorrow."


    Frowning, Hesper asked, "Since when did I say I''m going to the hospital with you? Did you not hear my


    conversation with Mrs. Pisano just now? I''m fine. I don''t need to go to the hospital, and I''ll definitely not


    follow you to the hospital. I''m Pennleigh''s girlfriend right now, got it?"


    "You shouldn''t look down on your leg injuries. I already told you that I''ve found a doctor that can treat


    your leg injury. Before that, can you make sure you won''t injure your leg again?"


    Looking at Rickard''s serious face, Hesper gave a cold smirk. "This is my leg. What has it got to do with


    you?"


    "This matter has been decided."


    Without giving Hesper a chance to argue, Rickard pushed open the door and walked out. Then he


    suddenly turned back and calmly said, "I still don''t believe a word of what you said about liking


    Pennleigh. Don''t forget this, Hesper. I grew up with you."

    It was a sleepless night for Hesper. Fortunately, she had already made ns with Pennleigh to leave


    early the night before. Looking at the tightly closed door of Rickard''s room, Hesper breathed a sigh of


    relief.


    Hesper''s countenance was pale. Pennleigh had been observing her the entire time, so it went without


    saying that he noticed that Hesper had nced at Rickard''s room several times. Whether it was


    intentional or unintentional, he did not know.


    It seemed to him that something happenedst night. That being said, he snapped back to sense and


    said, "Let''s go."


    When he saw that Hesper was behaving strangely with her leg, he frowned and asked, "What


    happened to your leg?"


    Hesper did not want to tell him about the thing that happenedst night. She did not want to tell


    Pennleigh that it was an old injury either as it involved some unpleasant memories that she did not


    want to talk about. Therefore, she told Pennleigh the same excuse she told Isobest night.

    "Did you sprain your leg?" Pennleigh asked as he looked at Hesper amusingly. "Do you need me to


    carry you to the car?"


    Hesper responded with a punch and replied, "That''s not necessary. It isn''t anything serious."


    They did not bring much with them when they came, and after Hesper cleaned up the ss at the door,


    both of them left.
