Love's Perfect Match

Chapter 164

Spencer seemed utterly shocked. “It doesn’t matter what I’m doing here, but could you come back to help treat my brother? They don’t trust my skills,” she uttered with a helpless look on her face while shrugging her shoulders.“Who’s the one questioning your abilities? You’re my very own mentee, and you’re a smart girl. I’d be honored if you told others you were my student after you treated them… Wait, your brother? Are you from the Joneson Family?” Sonny knew about the Jonesons—they were famous in Blaydal. “I’ll tell you more about this when you’re back. Just let me know if you’ll be able to make it,” Elspeth said. However, Sonny rejected her again. “No, no. I’m not going back. I feel like I’m just a tool you summon whenever you need me! You can treat whatever illness your brother has. I trust you. I’m going to end the call now. I need to get back to my chess… Hey! Why did you move your piece!”Sonny ended the call hurriedly, and he sounded like he was rushing to get back to playing chess. Michael was completely silent at that point. He parted his lips to speak, but when he saw the nonchalant look on Elspeth’s face, he couldn’t bring himself to say much. Meanwhile, Anya, who had intended to strike a bet with Elspeth earlier, looked utterly embarrassed by herself. I can’t believe she is Sonny’s mentee. Most people never get to meet the legendary doctor in their lives, yet Elspeth simply orders him around so casually! What other secrets is this woman hiding?“Well, am I allowed to treat Frank now, Grandfather?” Elspeth asked.Michael had no choice but to let out a sigh. “The youngsters nowadays are pretty impressive after all… Fine. I’ll trust you with Frank.” Despite saying that, he couldn’t help but question Elspeth, “How exactly did you meet Sonny? How did you become his student?”“I met him while I was studying overseas,” she replied. She had no intention of explaining herself to the man—all she could think of now was how she should treat Frank. “I think you guys shouldn’t visit Frank for the next few days. Even if you guys show up, you will have to look at him through the glass window without entering the room. I don’t want anyone to be in contact with him. His wounds are still fresh, and I’m worried he might get an infection if we’re too careless with him.”Everyone was aware of the situation, but after what just happened, people seemed to take her words more seriously as they were all impressed with her. “Where should we go now, then?” Michael asked.“You guys should head home. You all can come over once I’m done treating him,” Elspeth suggested. He took another glance at Frank, who was in the ward. Then, he nodded. “Alright. Let’s head home,” he uttered in a rather hesitant tone.After the Jonesons were sent home, Spencer was the only one who remained. He took a seat beside Elspeth. “Why aren’t you leaving?” She turned to give him a faint smile.He froze for a moment when he saw her smile. “Because I want to stay with… Frank.” He nearly told her he wanted to stay with her, but he held his tongue back and used Frank’s name in the end.“Alright. It seems like I misunderstood you in the past.” Elspeth’s statement came out of nowhere, and Spencer was confused at first. “What do you mean?” he asked.“Frankly speaking, I used to have a rather bad impression of you. I thought you were the type of person who only seemed gentle and warm on the outside but was secretly mean on the inside. I hadn’t expected you to be so nice to your friends,” she explained. She realized how Spencer started blushing after hearing her words, and she couldn’t help but giggle at the look on his face. “I can’t believe you’re such a shy person, too. Are you blushing after hearing my compliment?”He had no idea why he was blushing, but his face felt hot when he saw the girl smiling. “Stop grinning at me like that. It’s almost as if you have a crush on me,” Elspeth protested. “Yeah. I do have a crush on you.” The words slipped out of his mouth before he realized what he was saying.She had been joking at first, but she turned silent after hearing the
