Sweetheart Do You Still Love Me Chapter 227
With Callum’s effort, Elspeth was admitted to the hospital. When Elspeth smelled the familiar disinfectant, she grimaced. “Can I not be admitted to the hospital for treatment?”Callum cast an icy gaze at Elspeth. “What do you think?”Elspeth gave a nervous smile. “I don’t think it’ll work.”“That’s right.”The aloof dreamboat stepped aside as he spoke and began scrolling through his phone.“How about our travel itinerary?”“It will be rescheduled due to unforeseen circumstances. It’ll help if you remain in the hospital for treatment. Don’t worry. There’s plenty of time.”Elspeth lay resentfully on her bed.Soon after, a doctor arrived. She was doing rounds.Elspeth recognized the doctor’s face but couldn’t recall where she had seen the doctor.The doctor exclaimed in astonishment the next second, “Cal, you’re here!”Elspeth frowned and looked at Callum when she heard that.“Hey.” Callum gave the doctor a nod.“How have you been lately? How is Archie doing?”Elspeth deduced the doctor’s inner feelings because she shyly nicknamed Arthur Archie.“Everything is fine.” Callum remained the same. He was uninterested in meeting unfamiliar people.The doctor seemed to know him. She kept quiet after exchanging a few words. Then, she came up to Elspeth’s bed to do her work.As she stared at Elspeth, the doctor grimaced.“Elspeth, what brings you here?”Elspeth finally remembered the doctor.“It’s been a long time, Moriah Oliver.”Elspeth had an unfavorable opinion of Moriah.She met Moriah four years ago while studying abroad. Moriah was also a medical student who knew Sonny was abroad, so she did everything she could to find him and wanted to be his apprentice.By accident, Sonny picked Elspeth as his apprentice. With that, Moriah gave up her pursuit, and she held grudges against Elspeth since she suspected Elspeth of stealing her item.Jealousy grew in Moriah the moment she saw her mortal enemy. Her face was extremely gloomy.“It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you, Elspeth.”Her words sounded sarcastic.Moriah was not someone Elspeth wanted to deal with. She ignored Moriah and closed her eyes to rest. She didn’t even bother looking at Moriah.Moriah checked the ward and walked out after observing Elspeth’s refusal to speak.Just a few steps away outside the door, Moriah noticed a familiar figure.“Archie?”The man turned his head when he heard that. It was Arthur.He softened his expression as he looked at Moriah.“What a strange coincidence. We hadn’t seen one another in a long
time. So, you’re employed here.”Arthur smiled and gently patted her.Her emotions were awakened as she fixed her gaze on him again. “Archie, could you tell me why you came to Waterside today?”“I’m here on business.” Arthur lifted his hand and checked his watch. He frowned. “It’s getting late. I have to leave right now.”Moriah nodded, and her idle heart began to beat rapidly once more. “Can we have dinner tonight, Archie?”Arthur was about to dismiss her. He changed his mind when he saw Elspeth’s name on her case page and answered, “Of course.” Elspeth was bored in the ward and was staring at Callum.“What’s the matter? Do you want something to eat?”Elspeth smiled. “No thanks, Cal.”Elspeth had never addressed Callum this way. Oh, someone’s throwing a tantrum.“Jealous?”Elspeth chuckled and tried to act cute. However, the coldness between her brows could freeze Callum’s heart. “I’m not, Cal.”“Speak properly.”“No, Cal, I am speaking normally.”“Elspeth!”Elspeth stopped fooling around immediately.“Fine, I’ll stop.”Despite this, she believed it was unjust because Callum was the one who drew Moriah in.“Moriah likes Arthur,” Callum replied as he saw through Elspeth’s feelings while grinning.“You are not required to explain anything to me. I am aware of that.” Elspeth snorted and quickly wrapped herself in a quilt.However, Callum yanked her out of the quilt. “Are you willing to listen to my explanation?”“Yes, yes! Ouch! Don’t tug on my clothes.”Callum rolled his eyes and let her go.Why do I think that Callum is becoming more frightening?Elspeth stroked her neck and attempted to decipher his actions.Is he upset?“Callum, are you upset?”Callum did not respond and instead sent a document to his assistant, requesting that he handle some tasks.“Please don’t ignore me. At the very least, tell me why I deserve to be ignored.”He snorted coldly. “You understand why you’re here.”Oh, he’s still mad at me for concealing my allergies.Elspeth waved as though she didn’t care any longer. “I understand you may be feeling guilty. Don’t be guilty. I forgave you a long time ago.”When Callum heard that, he got a headache and stopped talking to her.The red marks on Elspeth’s body faded dramatically in the afternoon. So, she wanted to go out to sunbathe.Callum disliked sunbathing since it was too hot for him. Furthermore, it was December. So, one would only feel the frigid breeze even if they sunbathe. The weather this season could cause a cold.However, he couldn’t persuade Elspeth not to go. To avoid incidents, he could only follow her.They made their way to the garden. Elspeth gulped as she watched the wild withering grass.“What’s the big deal about this?”Before Elspeth could respond,
a massive sneeze erupted.“I warned you it was cold. You’re the only one who enjoys running about in December.”Elspeth had grown accustomed to Callum’s uncaring tone of voice. “This is Risedragon Grass!” she cheerfully remarked as she walked forward to inspect the withering plants in the yard.“What grass?”“Risedragon Grass is a therapeutic ingredient that can boost the body if consumed,” Elspeth said strangely.Callum instantly comprehended everything, according to Elspeth’s look and the name of the grass.“That’s enough. You’ve spent enough time outside. You should return with me.”Callum didn’t want Elspeth to stay outside and continue talking about what she saw or felt, so he grabbed her collar and was going to drag her back inside.They arrived at their ward to find a group squabbling.Moriah was one of them.This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
