Love's Perfect Match

Chapter 217

You might be able to depart this life in peace after that.”In peace? He must be outta his mind.“She’s a wonderful person like you. Confident; pretty; and bright, but she’s not as calculative as you are. Can you believe someone like her was diagnosed with scurvy? Her blood is special, so they can’t find the right donor for her. She needs to undergo many treatments for her dear life.”“So what? Are you trying to save her life with mine?” she retorted coldly. Cruelty and an unfathomable glint flashed across his bright eyes. “Yeah. I’ve been looking for that very person for a long time. I performed a DNA test with your hair, and to my surprise, you’re the most suitable option.”“Aren’t you afraid that she’ll hate you after knowing what you will do to me?”Jordan’s expression did not change. “Let her be. My only objective is to save her. Besides, no one will know even if you’re dead.”“Do you actually think that you can kill me?”He looked at her empty hand. There was no ring now. “Your smart ring and phone have been destroyed. Whom are you trying to call for help?”Elspeth’s heart squeezed. There was nothing she could do, but she did not want to yield that easily.Suddenly, Jordan’s phone rang.“Mr. Carr, the doctor said that we have to put off the blood transfusion first. Elspeth—”“What about Elspeth?” He frowned.“She’s too thin. She might lose her life in the middle of the transfusion.”Jordan did not expect that to be the reason for postponing the operation. At the same time, Elspeth had an idea upon overhearing their conversation.He looked at her with knitted brows. “You better be good and take your meals from today onwards. The butler will serve you food accordingly.”“On one condition—set me free from the bed.” She smiled.“No can do.” He pinched her cheek, smiling. “You one sly kitty. I will never let you go that easily.”“I’ll starve.”The indifference in his gaze morphed into ire. “And I’ll kill you without anyone knowing.”“You’re crazy!” she barked.“Thanks for the compliment. If you’re saying that I’m a madman who sacrifices for his love, I gladly accept it.” He rose to his feet, intending to leave.“I’m hungry.” She glared at him.He checked his wristwatch, which showed 12.00PM—it was indeed lunch time. “The butler will bring you something soon. The room is soundproof and here is the only residence around the area, so save it if you’re gonna scream for help.”Jordan left thereafter, leaving Elspeth firmly shackled on the bed.On the other hand, an anxious Callum noticed her disappearance. He searched everywhere she could’ve been, but in vain.Harper rushed all the way to Blaydal upon knowing the news. “Where was the last time anyone saw her?”Callum inhaled a deep breath. “The garage at the basement, but the car is still there. And there’s no suspicious vehicle around. ”“That mean’s she’s kidnapped, right?”“Yes, but I can’t think of anyone at the moment.”A figure seeped into Harper’s mind. “Could it be Arthur?”“No. If it’s him, he would’ve brought Elspeth here to threaten me by now. She is never his target.”Then, who else could it be? The only person that hasn’t revealed himself ever since we eloped is… Callum’s eyes lit
