A Spoonful of Sugar: Don't Beg for Love

"It seems like even heaven doesn't want the flower to die at all," the mysterious doctor said. "Alright. Don't think too much. Let's get inside first."

Julian clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles were turning white. "Why? Why is even heaven helping him? No... This isn't supposed to be happening. I put so much medicine on it. There's no way the flower hasn't wilted yet..."

The mysterious doctor walked over and observed the flower. After a while, he sighed in realization.

He had not looked closely at the bouquet of flowers before. He had just heard others say it was roses, so he assumed they were. But now, he could see that it was a bunch of carnations. The day before, the mysterious doctor had already felt that something was off about Hesper's attitude.

Why did she suddenly say things that made them nervous and scared? It turned out that Hesper already knew that their neighbor was Rickard and that all of them were staying in the house next to her house. And the reason these delicate flowers were still alive was not because of their tenacity or sunlight. It was because someone had been putting fresh bouquets inside every day to keep them forever fresh and beautiful. It was not heaven that had helped Rickard but Hesper.

The mysterious doctor straightened up and looked at his foolish apprentice. He patted his shoulder and decided not to tell him the truth. "Let's go inside. Otherwise, we won't be able to explain ourselves if Hesper asks later."

Julian raised his head up to look at the terrace. However, the terrace was specially built, so he could not see anything.

'Rickard! How could you?'

The condition of Hesper's legs were improving rapidly just as they expected since she had been very cooperative toward the treatment plan.

Before this, the mysterious doctor had been worried that Hesper would not listen to him since Rickard told him before that she was particularly stubborn. However, the truth was that Hesper was a rather cooperative patient, especially when he compared her to his last patient.

That patient was the worst patient he had ever come across.

"Alright. At this rate, I can schedule an operation for you next week," the mysterious doctor said as his face lit up with a smile. "Although you'll need to go through a long recovery period after the operation, as long as the surgery is successful, your legs will no longer be a problem."

Hesper lowered her head with a smile and looked at her legs.

"That's great. Thank you, Doctor," she said.

The mysterious doctor nodded with a smile. "Okay, I'm happy as long as you're happy. You should get some rest. I'll get the operation equipment ready as soon as possible. Wait for my message. I'll be going now."

"Okay." Hesper turned her head and saw that Julian had already left. She suddenly stopped the doctor and her eyes were filled with a smile. "Sir, you already know, don't you?"

The mysterious doctor froze and blinked as if he did not understand what Hesper was talking about. "If you're talking about what I know, then yes, I do know."

Hesper could not help but nod with amusement. "Sir, according to doctors, is it really possible to fully recover from injuries through treatment?"

The mysterious doctor fell silent for a moment before he sighed. "There is no true full recovery in the world. If there is any, I prefer to call it rebirth. You're still young. You should give yourself a chance." "Thank you, Sir. I understand." Hesper nodded and smiled.

"Sigh... she should thank herself instead."

Julian was standing outside the door. He did not know what was holding the mysterious doctor up. "Did Hesper say anything to you?"

The breeze in the evening of summer was hot. The mysterious doctor shook his head and smiled. "Nope. We just discussed some philosophical questions."

Julian looked at his back with some suspicion. However, the mysterious doctor had decided to play dumb and did not want to explain anything.
