Chapter 42
The group of people entered the hospital, and the doctor who attended to them was the one from last
night.
She was about to leave the department to look for some files, but when she saw Rickard dragging
Hesper into the hospital as soon as she opened the door, she was taken aback for a short moment.
“Mr. Duval, what’s happening here?”
“She got drugged last night. Examine her for any possible injuries.”
The doctor was a smart person, so she understood the subtext of the conversation as soon as she
heard it.
She was there when Hesper was brought in last night, so she knew that Hesper was sober back then.
But this was not the time to turn away from this situation, as she had been bribed by Madam Duval.
“Mr. Duval, I’ll have to get some tools prepared for the physical examination. If you really want to do
this, I’ll go ahead and get it ready.”
Rickard looked indifferent. “Okay, just do whatever is necessary.”
“Okay, please give me a second.”
The doctor grabbed her cell phone, hurried to a corner of the hospital where no one was around, called
Madam Duval, and informed her
about what was happening.
“They actually went to the hospital?” Madam Duval paced back and forth in the villa. She never thought
that Rickard would actually want Hesper to prove her innocence.
‘But this is great too. This should be more than enough to make Dick give up on that b*tch for good this
time around!’
“Since I paid you to do something about the situation, you just need to act when an opportunity
presents itself. As for what to tell my son, I don’t have to spoon-feed that to you, do I?”
“Don’t worry, Madam Duval, I know what to do.” The doctor nodded and then pretended to go and grab
the tools required.
In the ward, Hesper sat on the side with a defeated expression. Whenever she glared at Rickard, it
looked as if she was eager to see through him.
Her gaze finally managed to irritate the man, and he raised his voice.” Why are you looking at me like Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
that? Are you thinking about going back on your words now?”
“No.” The corners of Hesper’s lips curled upward, giving off a mocking smirk. “Since I haven’t done
anything wrong, what’s there to go back on? I just want to brand this expression of yours onto my brain
to see how much it hurts when you get smacked in the face when the result of this test is out.”
Rickard’s expression dimmed, but he did not utter a single word.
The doctor returned at this moment, and as soon as Hesper saw the equipment in her hands, her
pupils constricted subconsciously.
Before getting onto the bed for the examination, Hesper made her final request, “Rickard Duval, it’s fine
by me if you want me to undergo this test, but I want you to promise me that you’ll sign the divorce
agreement after this procedure is over!”
Rickard’s brows creased, however, the more frequently she brought this issue up, the more suspicious
he became.
He nodded coldly. “Okay.”
“Swoosh–“The curtain was drawn in one smooth go.
The doctor told Hesper unconcernedly. “Take your clothes off and lie
down.”
“All of them?”
“Otherwise, how do you expect me to run the test on you when you’re this densely dressed?”
Hesper’s face turned pale. She had never undergone such a
procedure, and she did not know what would be examined
specifically, but because of the doctor’s words and attitude, she felt somewhat resistant and nervous.
After struggling for a long time, she bit the bullet and did as
instructed, but just as she laid down, she felt an instant pain in her lower abdomen.
“Ahh, it hurts!” Hesper could not help but let out a soft cry.
The doctor sneered coldly. “What’s with the shriek? You’ve already given birth to a child, so how are
you still afraid of an examination ?” Hesper did not say anything to refute.
The doctor’s attitude felt a little strange to her, and she only wished to go through the embarrassing
examination as soon as possible.
But as the examination went on, Hesper burst into tears of pain. She kept on telling herself that she
was experiencing all this because of Rickard, so everything would be fine as long as she managed to
endure the procedure.
After a long time, the excruciating sensation finally disappeared. And as soon as Hesper got off the bed
and stood up, Rickard strode in from the other side of the curtain.
“How is it?”
He took a glance at all the equipment present and heard Hesper’s painful cries, so he dashed in
immediately, fearing that something. might have happened.
The doctor turned into a completely different person in an instant. She put on a smile, seeming to be
extremely keen. “Mr. Duval, please give us a few minutes. The result will be out soon.”
