Chapter 513


    Rickard knew the reason why Julian hated him more than anyone else, and he also understood that it


    was not anyone’s fault. All this happened only because he chose to trust someone who hated him and


    lost his logic and judgment.


    Ridiculously, he did this for someone who did not have any feelings for him.


    "The poison in your body might be more difficult to deal with than imagined." Professor Miles saw


    Rickard’s indifferent expression and frowned bitterly. "I’m indeed Julian’s teacher, but he concentrated


    on studying the drug, and I’m not an expert in this field. Do you know what that means? If I don’t


    manage to develop an antidote before the poison’s effect takes ce again, you’ll die."


    He did not expect the poison in Rickard’s body to be so lethal. In addition, Professor Miles had given


    Rickard some medicine to relieve the effect of the poison, so Benji had not been taking the matter


    seriously at all. His eyes widened in shock as he stared in Rickard’s direction.


    Rickard did not panic and nodded calmly. "I have faith in you, Professor Miles. As for this matter, now


    that we’ve arrived at this point, it’s pointless for us to argue more."


    Matthew looked at Rickard suspiciously.


    ‘In all fairness, if anyone were to find out that they were about to die soon, naturally, they wouldn''t react


    like this, let alone someone like Rickard, who is sessful in life. Is he really not afraid of death? But


    how is that possible? As long as there are still things in the world that he cares about, how can he not


    be afraid of death?’


    "How is Hesper doing now?"


    Not noticing Rickard’s feeble tone, Professor Miles sighed and lifted his gaze. "Hesper is doing well, but


    you should be more worried about yourself now. She woke up as soon as the effect of the anesthesia


    faded. I haven’t told her about your current condition."

    Speaking of this, Professor Miles took a nce at the time. "I’ll go to Hesper’s ward and check her


    condition. You’d better not move around. This toxin will spread to all parts of your body through your


    blood vessels. So, before we cure youpletely, don’t act rashly."


    "Okay."


    Hearing the words, Benji said, "I’ll look into Julian’s whereabouts while you grab some rest, Mr. Duval…


    As for Mr. Lane, would you prefer to apany me?"


    "...Yes." Although Matthew did not like Rickard, he knew that the poisoning was no small matter.


    Hence, he followed Benji out of the ward, feeling a littleplicated.


    In an instant, there was no one else in the ward. Rickard sat on the hospital bed and raised his arms,


    which felt a little weak at the moment.


    This toxin was really invading his body faster than expected. It had only been half a day since he got


    poisoned, but all the strength in his body was almost drained.


    ...


    Hesper had already woken up long ago. When Professor Miles came into her ward, he saw her lying on


    the hospital bed with her eyes open as if she was thinking about something.


    "How are you feeling, Hesper?"


    Hearing Professor Miles’s voice, Hesper shook her head calmly. "I feel fine. Nothing special."


    Hesper seemed a little off, but Professor Miles could not figure out what she was trying to say.


    ''Rickard will certainly want to hide his poisoning from Hesper, but she''ll recover sooner orter. We


    won’t be able to keep this matter a secret for long.''


    While Professor Miles was struggling inwardly, Hesper had already opened her mouth. "How’s Rickard


    doing now?"
