A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love

Chapter 423

Yellow peaches were very expensive there, but Hesper had already made some money and could

afford it. She picked two boxes and planned to stew the canned peaches and give them to Stephen

later.

As she walked out of the supermarket, a scream suddenly came from not far away. Hesper became

alert and took a step back. In the next moment, a man fell directly in front of her from the direction

where the scream came from, spitting out a mouthful of blood. He convulsed and soon stopped

moving.

The crowd quickly scattered and ran away. Hesper was stunned for a moment. The man stared at her

while bathing in his blood, unmoving before he bled out. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

As the smell of blood tickled her nostrils, Hesper snapped back to reality and stumbled two steps back.

Hesper had already calmed down by the time Roberto brought her out of the police station.

Roberto sighed. “You must be terrified. Antellon does have some safety issues, but this is the first

murder case in the downtown area this year.”

It seemed to him that Hesper had pretty bad luck. How could that person have died right in front of

her?

“I still need to wait for the final report from the police station,” Hesper shook her head. “When that

person died right in front of me, his eyes were looking at me the whole time, and I thought of

someone.”

“Are you suspecting that it’s Daybreak?”

Hesper nodded, her head a muddle mush.

“As you said, this is the first time it happened this year. Is it really such a coincidence that a terrorist

appeared on that street and then coincidentally threw the body in front of me?”

The man’s eyes widened in horror as he looked at himself, reminding Hesper of the dead mouse in the

box that night.

Upon hearing that, Roberto patted Hesper’s shoulder and comforted her. “Maybe it’s just a coincidence.

Don’t think too much about it. Maybe this has nothing to do with you. Don’t worry unnecessarily.”

“Okay…”

Hesper nodded, and Roberto changed the subject, pointing to the pocket in her hand. “What are you

holding onto? You’ve been holding onto it all the way.”

Hesper came to her senses when she heard Roberto’s question and realized that she had been tightly

holding onto the yellow peaches she bought that day. She did not know where the vegetables she

bought had gone.

Feeling a bit amused, Hesper shook her head. “It’s nothing. I bought some yellow peaches to make

canned food… Have you ever tried canned yellow peaches, Mr. Sanchez? Should I make some for you

to try?”

“Oh… Yuna used to like those too, and she said she would eat them when she was sick.” Roberto

smiled. “But it’s been a long time since I’ve had any. I can’t find those kind of canned foods in

other places.”

Hesper didn’t expect this can of food to remind Roberto of his deceased wife. She apologized.” I’m

sorry, I didn’t know…”

“Nah, it’s nothing,” Roberto interrupted before she could finish her sentence.

“Can you bring me some when you’re done making it?” Roberto smiled, rubbing Hesper’s head.” You

don’t have to worry so much. You’re young and shouldn’t have so many worries and troubles.”

“Sorry, did I make you feel burdened?” Hesper sighed helplessly.

Realizing she was apologizing again, Hesper paused and looked at Roberto. Finally, she smiled.

“Alright. You’ve had a long day. You should probably go back and rest.”

Hesper nodded. She raised her head and looked at the westbound sun. The red hue fell on her

eyelashes and covered all her emotions.

“Daybreak…” Hesper murmured. “It’s time for me to see what you’re capable of.”
