Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me

Chapter 173

was rare, not to mention hard to be treated.Elspeth looked at the wound on Callum’s chest and felt it was familiar. She thought for a while but couldn’t remember who had suffered a similar injury.“Thank you, Dr. Hyde. Please think of a way to prescribe a medication to suppress the toxins from spreading.”Leonard nodded. “I will. Don’t worry.” Then, she saw him off and went back to Callum. He looked up at her worried expression and smiled comfortingly. “It’s okay. Don’t worry. Aren’t I fine for now?”Even if he was okay for now, he still looked pale to everyone else.She shot him a look. “You might be okay now, but what about when something happens? What should I do if you die?”“What are you talking about? Nothing will happen.”“But Callum, I feel like I’ve seen this kind of wound before.”This seemed to pique his curiosity. “Where have you seen it before?”“I think it was…” Elspeth narrowed her eyes and suddenly remembered something. She quickly took out her phone to call Harper.“What’s going on, Elspeth?”It sounded chaotic on Harper’s end. He seemed to be in a meeting.“What was the injury that you had last time?”Although he didn’t know why she would suddenly ask that, he still answered honestly, “I was bitten by a poisonous snake. If it weren’t for the miracle doctor, I would have died a long time ago.”Elspeth’s eyes lit up at his words. “Yes, a poisonous snake!”With that, she hung up the phone and began to study Callum’s wound.His flesh was turned out, and there was dark blood leaking from the wound. The tissues around it were damaged. These were the symptoms of a wound after being bitten by a poisonous snake.“Callum, your wound is caused by a cut from a knife dipped in a snake’s venom.”Callum listened to her conclusion and asked in a serious tone, “Then, what do you think we should do next?”“It’s very simple. We just need to use ginkgo. I’ll get Sonny to get it.”The ginkgo she had right now was reserved for Frank, and it could only be used once. Thinking of this, she immediately decided to call Sonny.“Elspeth, what’s the matter?” It was rare for her to call first. Sonny couldn’t help but feel surprised.“Mentor, do me a favor.”He seldom heard her addressing him in such a way, and his hand trembled slightly. The chess piece in his hand almost fell. “Elspeth, what happened?”She had a temper, and she was arrogant, so she rarely called him a mentor.Yet, here she was, addressing him as a ‘mentor.’ It was as if she had had a change of heart.Elspeth thought about it and asked, “Do you still have century-old ginkgo? The older, the better.”Her request made his heart ache for a bit. “What do you need it for?”Century-old ginkgoes were hard to come by, and the longer it was preserved, the rarer they would be. The one he had was eight centuries old, and it took him a lot of effort to find it.“Saving one life is better than building a reputation for yourself. Of course, I want to use it to save a life.”Sonny listened to the impolite tone on the other end of the line and pursed his lips indignantly. “Can’t you be nicer to me? I’m your
