Love's Perfect Match

Chapter 294

need to check on him to see what I can do.”Elspeth put on a set of sterile clothes and gloves, then she checked Callum inch by inch. Every wound and injury she found only hurt her heart more. His back was fractured, his body was covered in minute wounds, and he choked on seawater. It was a miracle he was still alive. “He’s heavily injured both internally and externally. His heart is affected as well, but don’t worry. I’m calling Sonny over to help. I will save him.”Margot felt more at ease after that guarantee. She stopped crying and realized there was a man in a mask and cap standing around. “Who is this?”“Elias. He saved me.”Elias took his mask off and grinned toothily. “Hi, I’m Elias.”Margot froze. “Edmund?”I expected this reaction. Elias shook his head. “I’m not Edmund, Mrs. Winthrop. I’m Elias.”But they look the same. Still in disbelief, Margot held Elias and took a closer look. Then she sighed. “Gosh. I would have thought you were Edmund if you hadn’t told me you were someone else. He has a mole at the corner of his eye. Yeah, you’re not him.”“A question, if I may. When was your son, Edmund, born?”“Eighteenth of March, nineteen ninety-nine.”That’s my birthday. We were born on the same day of the same month of the same year. This settles it. Edmund is my twin. Something glinted in Elias’ eyes. “We even share the same birthday. My mother was pregnant with twins, but one didn’t make it. Why, now I am starting to think Edmund might just be my twin brother.” Elias thought it was a coincidence, but Margot thought otherwise. There are no coincidences. I was only pregnant with one boy, and the checkup couldn’t be wrong. So… Margot didn’t continue that thought. She didn’t want to imagine that Edmund might not be her son. Arthur’s betrayal had broken her heart while Callum was in danger. She could not lose another son now.Margot had conflicting emotions, but Elspeth thought she was worried about Callum, so she didn’t explain anything. “I’ll call Sonny and get him here as soon as possible.” She left the ward, dodged the crowd, and called Sonny. “Hey.”Sonny didn’t recognize Elspeth’s number at first. “I’m not going. I’m living peacefully in the mountains, and I’m never going to save anyone ever ag—Hey, no takebacks! And you, stop talking to him. Just watch the game quietly!”“You really need to hold back on your chess games, Sonny. I can’t believe you’ve forgotten about me!” Elspeth gritted her teeth. You’re not living in the mountains, you old git. You’re living in a random neighborhood abroad and playing chess all day with your friends. I can’t believe you’re lying to me.Sonny knew it was Elspeth. He just wanted to joke, and he chuckled. “Sorry, girl. I’m in the middle of a game. Why don’t we talk la—”“It’s urgent. Come over to Damoria’s town hospital in three hours.”Sonny was upset. “You can’t do this to me. I’m in the middle of a game. I’m not your servant, g—”“Two hours, fifty-eight minutes, and forty-six seconds.”Elspeth then heard the howls of the winds coming from the other end of the phone. Whoa, talk about running like the wind. Elspeth’s lips twitched. Maybe I shouldn’t be too hard on him. “I’ll play some chess with you when I have time.”That swept Sonny’s bad mood away. “I’m
