the inside, but she had no choice but to force a smile for the sake of getting what she wanted. “Right. Nothing’s wrong. Anyway, let’s drop this subject. Hurry up and eat. Once you’re done eating, you can go and bring my mother over.”Arthur raised his eyebrow. “Using me?”“Isn’t this a trade? How can you say I’m using you?” Elspeth finished her food and wiped her mouth elegantly with a tissue before saying with a smile, “Well, I’ll be waiting to hear the good news.” Surprisingly, she cleared the table and brought the dishes back to the kitchen.A peculiar feeling rose in Arthur’s chest as he watched her bustling around the kitchen.Why have I never noticed that she’s not as loathsome as I thought?…To avoid delaying the trip abroad, Arthur headed out to Joneson Residence.Michael had just “lost” his granddaughter, so he was visibly haggard. He even had more gray hairs now.He eyed Arthur warily. “You’re saying that you want to take Helena abroad for treatment?”“Yes. Her illness is rare and peculiar, so she needs to get her treatment abroad,” Arthur advised patiently.“Just tell me what you need, and I’ll get it delivered to our country.” Michael rubbed his temples.

I can’t ensure her safety.”“Since you can’t keep her safe, why should I let her go?” Michael fumed as he slammed his hand on the table.“Well, I do have an excellent candidate who can certainly keep your daughter safe.”“Who is it?” Michael’s fury eased as he kept his eyes trained on Arthur.Arthur didn’t cower under Michael’s piercing gaze. Instead, he calmly replied, “The Great Elspeth.”The Great Elspeth who’s the head of Evil Wind Sect?Shock rippled through Michael’s eyes.…In the afternoon, a black Lincoln pulled up outside Arthur’s villa.Elspeth looked down from the balcony and saw a familiar silhouette sitting inside the car.The moment the person stepped out of the car, her eyes misted over.Afraid that the person would look up, she cupped her mouth and quickly drew the curtains.She calmed herself down and quietly waited for the person to come over.The door opened with a creak, and when Elspeth saw the woman in front of her, she became extremely emotional. “Mom…”“My dear girl! What are you doing here?” Helena walked over in excitement and clutched Elspeth’s hand tightly. “Everyone’s saying that you died. When I got the terrible news, I almost followed you.”Elspeth’s
