Love's Perfect Match

Chapter 229

did not look good on her.“So, Moriah, if you have nothing better to do, you should check on the other rooms. Isn’t it your job to make rounds?”With a gentle face, Elspeth showed Moriah a way out.Moriah snorted and turned to leave, knowing she couldn’t gain anything from Joseph.“Moriah is too proud and arrogant. No wonder she has been just a ward-round doctor for so long.”Even Joseph couldn’t take it any longer and uttered hurtful words.Elspeth was overjoyed to hear this and wished Moriah could hear that before leaving. “Everything is fine. If you leave all of your medical care to me, you don’t have to worry about anything.”He liked her even more. “What a sweetie you are. This is my business card. Please get in touch with me if you are available. By the way, do you have a boyfriend?”Elspeth laughed as she looked at Callum. “I do have a boyfriend.”Only then did Joseph notice Callum off to the side. Joseph smiled awkwardly. “I assumed you were single and wanted to introduce you to my proud grandson. That’s all right. You young people should lead your own lives.”Callum, who had always been quiet, stood up with a hostile tone. “If it’s alright, I’ll take Elspeth back to her ward. She is still recuperating.”Joseph knew Callum was upset, so he nodded quickly. “Sure. You may leave now.”Callum took Elspeth’s hand and exited.In the corridor, she could feel his anger and dared not to speak for a long time.“Elspeth.”Elspeth shuddered and froze when she heard her name called. “Yes?”“When can I marry you?”“I said we’d think about getting married after we found my mom, right?” she said as she chuckled.Callum was disappointed with the response. “We should get engaged now. After we find your mother, we will marry.”“Why are you suddenly in such a hurry? You made a promise to me.”Elspeth was picked up and pressed against the wall as soon as she said that.“I don’t want other men to covet you. Everyone should know that you are mine.”She was stunned. Do I give him too little security?“Do you want to get engaged to me?”Under the dim light, Elspeth couldn’t see Callum’s face clearly, but she could see the gleam in his eyes. “Yes.”“Let’s get back and get engaged.”“Okay.”“Before Christmas.”“Alright.”As he relaxed, she smiled and kissed the corner of his mouth.Moriah looked at Arthur who was sitting across from her in the restaurant, and all her complaints in the afternoon vanished. As a result, her mood significantly improved.“How are you doing, Moriah?”Moriah lowered her head, shyly saying, “I’m doing well. I’ve been promoted to chief of staff at the hospital. I’ll be able to catch up with you soon.”I’m very close to joining you and becoming as great as you are!“I’m not a doctor anymore.”Arthur sighed and looked disappointed after saying that.“What?” Moriah couldn’t believe the guy she’d loved for so long would give up his passion for becoming a doctor.“Callum and Elspeth have always despised me. To avoid them, I had to sell the hospital and work for someone else.”In a few words, he portrayed himself as an innocent guy whom his brother and future sister-in-law abused.However, Moriah bought it. She was distressed and enraged as she looked at Arthur’s handsome face. “Don’t give it much thought. Someone will help you get even for what you have suffered!”He smiled and nodded as he realized his trick was working. “Everything is fine. It’s nothing new to me. Not to mention that I have come to terms with this reality.”“Why should you bow to them? Cal seemed nice, but I didn’t expect him to bully you together with Elspeth!”The more she talked, the angrier she became. Arthur could feel a strong resentment from her.It was exactly what he was looking for.“Are you familiar with Elspeth?”Moriah immediately angrily complained about Elspeth, “I was the one who found Sonny first while I was studying abroad, but he chose Elspeth as his apprentice instead! He claimed that meeting Elspeth was fate. Bullsh*t. It must be her bribing him to be her mentor! I despise her so much!”After venting, Moriah let out a long sigh.“That’s great…” Arthur murmured softly.She didn’t hear him and asked in confusion, “Sorry?”Arthur regained his composure and clarified, “Nothing. Let’s call it a day here. Moriah, please let me know if you’re being bullied. Don’t bear it on your own.”Moriah felt better after hearing those words. Then she added, “Don’t worry. I will never let anyone bully me, and I will never allow others to bully you too!”Arthur didn’t want to say much after achieving his goal. He gave her a small smile, just enough to fascinate her.Moriah quietly clenched her fists. Anyone who bullies Archie and me will never be forgiven!She was unexpectedly summoned to the director’s office the next day.“I have a question for you, Moriah,” the director asked with a deep voice.Moriah recognized it as a sign of rage. “What’s the matter?”“What happened between you and the patient in Room 360? He sent us two pennants
