Love's Perfect Match

Chapter 317

then that Helena recovered from the continuous shocking events that had happened recently.First, it was her daughter feigning death to escape from her marriage, followed by her plan to bring her daughter abroad, and now her daughter had changed fiancés.It seemed like Elspeth’s life was no less exciting than hers when she was young! However, this situation wasn’t bad either because after they left for abroad, Michael wouldn’t be able to find out Elspeth’s whereabouts, and she could escape from the Jonesons’ control for a while. Therefore, it was quite a good thing.“This is great…” Helena glanced at Arthur from the corner of her eye and felt even more satisfied the more she looked at him. Such a nice man would be a good match for Elspeth.Noticing Helena’s approving glance, Arthur spoke up. “Miss Joneson, I’ve checked your condition just now. Your body’s condition is quite good, so we can leave tomorrow. The sooner we leave, the better, as your condition can’t allow any delays.”“Sure.” As Helena trusted Arthur, she didn’t reject his suggestion but nodded in agreement.When her gaze landed on the dazed Elspeth, she smiled and asked, “What’s the matter, Elsie? Do you have something you need to do?”At that moment, Arthur also looked over, and his gaze had a hint of scrutiny.“Nothing. I have gotten pretty much everything done. I was just daydreaming.”Afterward, Helena didn’t ask any more questions. She massaged her temples while announcing tiredly, “I’m feeling a little tired, so I’ll be heading upstairs to rest.”As Helena didn’t know about what Arthur did before, her impression of him was that he was a benevolent doctor who gave her unconditional treatment, and that was why she had a good feeling about him.“Alright. Have a good rest, Mom.”Once Helena left, Elspeth looked at Arthur with eyes blazing with anger.Not knowing why she was staring at him like that, Arthur asked, “Why are you looking at me like that?”“I don’t know either. It’s just purely because I despise you.”However, Elspeth could only vent her anger out on the pillow in her hand. Punch after punch, she hit it.Arthur instantly realized something and lazily leaned against the couch, pointing out, “Do you think I don’t understand you? You must be thinking of Callum right now. You’re disappointed that Callum has forgotten your relationship and still hasn’t found you. So, you don’t want to leave, and you’re unwilling to let go…”Everything he said was on point.Elspeth was stunned and didn’t know what to do.“But so what? You and Callum can never be together anymore.” When Arthur looked toward Elspeth, he was taken aback as he had never seen her cry.This was the first time he saw tears streaming down her face. She didn’t look particularly sad and was just crying. The scene before him left a pang in his heart.Arthur never cared about women crying, even if it was Emma. He only liked Emma’s beautiful side and helping her solve her hardships was only to return her favor.However, he felt a hint of sympathy when seeing Elspeth cry.He began feeling inexplicably guilty and wondered if his words were too harsh
