Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me

Chapter 162

are indeed pretty.” I can’t believe that Winthrop guy is dating her. How lucky of him! Just when Elspeth was about to call him a pervert, someone shouted, “Look! There’s something up there!”She looked into the sky and saw a big barrel of lard hanging from a drone. On the very next second, the barrel of lard was dropped into the backyard. Alarmed, Elspeth grabbed Frank and dodged the attack. Spencer easily evaded the incoming barrel as well, thanks to his agile feet. However, everyone else wasn’t as lucky. They were drenched in lard and couldn’t even walk. Everyone slipped and groaned in pain.Elspeth turned to Frank and asked, “Are you alright?”“Yeah, but—” The sentence was never finished. A shocked Frank quickly pulled her into his embrace.An agonizing, burning sensation washed over his body, and before long, the pain knocked him out. Wait, that’s acid! Elspeth felt a wave of pain coming from her arm. Her skin was burned, but she held back her pain and raised her head. Right then, she saw someone hurrying away with a bottle of acid in their hand.

Lard causes injuries!’‘Acid attack on Frank Joneson! The Jonesons are furious!’Elspeth felt waves of pain coming up her arm, and the nurse was trembling even though she was just supposed to rub some salve over the wound. Probably a newbie.Eventually, Spencer couldn’t take it anymore and took the salve. “I’ll handle it.” He smiled.Elspeth thought he would handle it poorly, but to her surprise, he was better than the nurse. The pain was gone, and only a cool sensation was left. She stared at the serious Spencer, and she had conflicting emotions about him. He seems different from what I thought.Just then, someone flung the door open. Callum stood beyond the door, watching Spencer rubbing the salve on Elspeth’s arm. He seemed worried at first, but then he looked angry.Elspeth pulled her arm back in a hurry. “What brings you here, Callum?” She wasn’t worried about him seeing anything, but he might do something stupid if he found
