Love's Perfect Match

Chapter 199

had been greatly wronged, Elspeth pouted and retorted, “Would you have come over if I didn’t do that?” She had deliberately chosen a position that was visible to him to drink, her sole goal to have him watch her actions. As it happened, she won the gamble. Not only that, but Callum was also smarter than she thought. Though he had seen through her tricks long ago, he was still willing to take the bait.“You like me, Callum. Your eyes can’t lie, and the way you looked at me earlier was different.”A trace of cold sweat emerged on his forehead as he explained, “Someone put something in my drink.”Only then did he calm down and realize his body was behaving differently; he felt incredibly hot.Elspeth fell silent, thinking that she’d been too ahead of herself again. “Then, what are you going to do?” she asked helplessly. “Why do all these women like to put things into your drinks? Does sleeping with you come with any insurance?”Callum had also guessed that it was Emma who laid the trap. If that were the case, it was no wonder why she was so furious when he could not resist going to Elspeth earlier. It was because she had tampered with his drink, and the drug was about to take effect.“Take me to the hospital.”He closed his eyes, his expression a little pained.Elspeth asked in surprise, “What, you don’t even feel anything when a beauty like me is in front of you?”Truthfully, she was only fooling around.

I was careful enough when I came here, but if I get caught for drunk driving when I go back, it’ll be against the law.”Upon saying this, Elspeth turned to look at Callum’s face with a sly smile. Left with no choice, he closed his eyes and said nothing.At midnight, Elspeth sat on the bench by the bed, slowly nodding off.Seeing that she was about to collapse, Callum offered, “Why don’t you sleep on the bed?”Instantly, she shot awake and refused, “Don’t mind me and get your IV. I’ll just take a short nap like this.”Knowing how stubborn she could be, he could only turn off the lights in silence.In the dark, he lay with his eyes open, unable to fall asleep. A long while later, Elspeth suddenly heard a soft voice as she was drifting off to sleep.“Elspeth, it’s not worth it.”While Elspeth was sleeping, she vaguely felt a piece of clothing draped over her body. The action was done very lightly as if it were out of love and affection.When she woke up the next day, the bed was deserted, leaving only herself sitting on the bench and
