Love's Perfect Match

Chapter 314

months. The disease will strike, and not even I can save her then.”Three months? Elspeth felt a twang of pain in her heart. She had gone through hell to find her mother. Romantic love was nothing when compared to familial love. Even if she could never date Callum ever again, she must save Helena. Elspeth raised her head, her eyes filled with determination. “When are you going to bust her out?”Arthur cocked his eyebrow, a smile curling his lips. “So, you agree to my terms, I take it?”“Shut it. You’re taking her abroad for the treatment, aren’t you? When are you busting her out?” Elspeth felt nothing but anger and disgust for this scheming, evil man.“Ah, I can do that easily. I just have to tell Michael I can save his daughter, and he’ll give her over to me.” Arthur had learned a bit of psychology before. Michael had lost his daughter once, so he wouldn’t let Helena die.Elspeth heaved a sigh of relief. If that’s true, then the git isn’t totally evil, then. “Make it quick,” blurted Elspeth, yet she had conflicting feelings about this. “Make it quick? You’re so eager to get engaged, huh?” Arthur smirked. Elspeth hated that smile.“Shut it. I just want you to cure my mother.” Elspeth shot him a glare. “Which room am I taking for the night?”“Any room you want except for the first one from the left on the second floor.”Elspeth’s fury subsided, replaced by a hint of cheekiness. “What’s with the room?”Arthur smiled and mouthed something.Whatever he said made Elspeth blush. She shot him a glare and went upstairs to pick a room for herself. For fear that someone might overhear her from another room, she drew the curtains close and locked the door, then she took her ring out. She wouldn’t expose herself in front of Arthur. He was a cunning and meticulous man, so he might realize something was up if he found out what she had on her.She was a doctor, after all. Attention to detail was her thing. A moment later, Elspeth managed to establish contact with Gilbert.
