A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love

Chapter 312

‘Needless to think, that woman must be up to something again.”

Hesper was a little speechless. It was her first time paying her neighbor a visit, so she really didn’t want

to showcase her unfriendly and prickly side, but Eloise had been challenging her limits over. and over

again.

“Why isn’t there a smell yet?”

“…There’s no smell?” Yohanna realized it slightly later than Hesper did. “Yeah… I don’t seem to smell

any Halwanese medicine boiling.”

The two went upstairs, and Yohanna led Hesper into the kitchen, only to see Eloise’s hectic silhouette.

However, instead of boiling the medicinal herbs, she was busy chopping them up and then flushing

them down the sink.

Without any doubts, Hesper pushed the door open.

Eloise turned her head immediately and stared at the two of them in a panic, still hiding a large handful

of herbs in her hands.

Hesper walked up to her, grabbed her arm, and lifted it. Feeling excruciating pain, Eloise dropped all

the medicinal herbs in her hand and they fell to the floor. NôvelDrama.Org © content.

“What do you think you’re doing?” Yohanna rarely sounded this infuriated.

When she approached her, it was Eloise’s first time seeing her employer this furious, so she pulled her

hand back timidly and whispered, “I’m only worried that there’s some issue with her medicinal herbs! Is

she even a doctor? Who gave her the qualifications to go around diagnosing people? Gabriel was

already born with stomach issues…’

“You…” Yohanna clearly knew that Eloise was trying to change the notion. Her trust and tolerance

toward her throughout all these years had almost become a joke.

She then turned her head and looked at Hesper apologetically. “Hesper, I’m really sorry. Please take a

look at these herbs… Can they still be used?”

Hesper shook her head but comforted her at the same time. “I still have some herbs at home. Just give

me some time. I’ll go back and grab some more, so don’t worry.”

While they were busy talking, Yohanna’s husband, Jean Yates, came back home.

Hesper began to go back to get more medicinal herbs. As she walked across the room, the smell

coming off of the man felt somewhat familiar to her, but she could not figure out where she had

smelled it, so she brushed it off her mind.

After all, the other party was Yohanna’s husband, so it was not good for her to probe too much.

“Do we have a guest over?” Jean walked past Hesper, went up to his wife, and held her hand. After a

while, he turned his head, took a glance at the woman who he had just strode past, and then finally

noticed Yohanna’s cold fingers.

He sighed with a frown. “What happened? Your hands are so cold…”

After getting the medicine ready, Hesper did not want anyone else to take over the boiling of the herbs

this time around, so she sat in the kitchen throughout the whole process, while Renfrew sat öbediently

beside her.

Eloise had been ordered to stay in the guest room by Yohanna on the grounds of taking advantage of

her seniority and creating a scene. Jean did not say anything after hearing what happened, but he still

frowned secretly and watched as Hesper boiled the medicine.

Jean truly had a very strange, inexplicably familiar smell. Hesper was still trying to recall it, and after a

while of trying to walk down memory lane, the medicine was finally done.

Although she did not know if Hesper was actually proficient in medicine, Yohanna decided to trust

Hesper and asked her to give the medicine to Gabriel immediately. They then waited for Gabriel to

wake up.

Fortunately, after taking a bowl of medicine, Gabriel’s stomach ache did get better, and the recovery

was much faster compared to when he took the medicine that he normally took in Yohanna’s

impression.

This was within Hesper’s expectation. After all, if she was not fully sure, she would not have spoken up

at all.

Fortunately, Yohanna installed a surveillance camera at home. She was so anxious earlier on that she

almost forgot about it.

After going through the surveillance footage, the result was similar to what Hesper said. It was indeed

because of the food that Eloise had given to Gabriel earlier that day. It showed that Gabriel was acting

up, asking for some cold food, and Eloise could not do anything to resist him, so she bought him a

whole bowl of shaved ice and even put watermelon cubes on it.
