Love's Perfect Match

Chapter 163

doctor.She shook her head. When she next looked up, she realized the other man was gone. The door was left slightly open, telling her that someone had just walked out. “He left. I need to find him.”She had just straightened her figure when Spencer held her back. “Why are you looking for him? He doesn’t even care about your injury.”“He’s not that type of guy.” Elspeth let out a sigh. She figured there was no point in trying to explain herself when she was in this condition. I might as well look for him after I’ve recovered.“I wonder how Frank is.” She felt her chest tighten when she recalled how he had leaped forward to protect her. She could still remember the injury on his back. His skin was bloody and raw—just the sight of it had made her heart race with fear. “He should still be in surgery. You know how severe his injuries were. It’s going to take a while before he’s out of the operating room,” Spencer replied.“I suppose you’re right, but worry not. He’ll recover.” Elspeth’s eyes glinted with tears. It sent a pang to her chest when she thought about how a man as handsome as Frank was going to have a back that was so horribly scarred. Spencer thought she was trying to comfort him, so he flashed her a smile. “It’s fine. I know he’s never going to be completely healed. Fortunately, he was injured on his back. He’d probably cry if he had been splashed on his face.”“I’m not kidding.” Elspeth gazed at him earnestly.“Are you serious?” He was stunned. He had never heard anything so ridiculous. “Are you able to make his skin as flawless as before?”She smiled when she saw the look of surprise on the man’s face. “I never thought I’d see that look of surprise on your face, Spencer. Of course. Have you heard of Sonny?” she asked.“Do you mean the legendary, mystical Sonny Schwartz?” he asked.She flashed him an awkward smile when she heard the way he described Sonny. “You’re exaggerating it. He’s my mentor. Can you trust me now?” she asked.Spencer’s eyes lit up immediately. “You’re Sonny’s student? Can you do me a favor in that case?” he asked. Elspeth nodded when she saw the hopeful look on the man’s face. “Sure.”“I… I have a childhood friend who has always struggled with some odd illness. She prefers staying in the dark as she’s afraid of the sunlight. Can you help me to take a look at her?” he asked.“She’s afraid of light, huh?” She frowned.“It seems like it. We’ve contacted a lot of hospitals, but no one managed to help her. Can you help me take a look at her condition? She’s a good girl, but she led a really rough life. Her mom passed away when she was young…” Spencer sighed at the thought of his friend’s bitter life.“Do you like her?” Elspeth teased when she saw the look of concern and heartache on the man’s face.“No way. I don’t like her romantically. I only care for her like she’s my sister.” He got defensive when he saw the playful smirk on her face. For some reason, he didn’t want her to have such a misunderstanding with him. Elspeth stopped smiling after that. “I’ll try my best. You can bring me to meet her sometime soon.”“Sure.” After a while, a nurse came over to inform them that Frank had been transferred to the ICU. His
