Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me

Chapter 175

up his sleeves to me so easily. So, I pretended to faint under his drug and frisked him.”Elspeth raised her dainty hand and playfully shook a small glass bottle that displayed the ginkgo for all to see.Callum shook his head in resignation as an amused smile crept onto his face. “Arthur will be furious.”“Who cares? He was the one who started it!”He looked over her from top to bottom. Once he was confident that she was alright, he finally relaxed a tad before asking, “How did you discover the drug?” She felt that Arthur’s drug was like child’s play and scorned, “I noticed it with just one whiff. That’s such a simple drug that I didn’t even want to waste my time making it when I started learning medicine.”Callum almost forgot that the person he was worried about was Elspeth, the medical genius. He was purely overthinking it.“Wait. Why are you here? Didn’t you pass out?”His eyes darkened as he quietly replied, “I realized you were missing when I woke up and recalled what you said when I was unconscious.

Here you go.”Callum picked up the medicine bottle and watched the liquid swirl around as he raised an eyebrow. “What happens if you poison me to death?”Elspeth, on the other hand, was amused by him. “If I wanted you dead, I would have transferred all your assets under your name to mine. Besides, who would use such an expensive herb as a poison? That’s a huge capital. It’s easier to slit your throat in your sleep.”She was right. The market price for this ginkgo was sky-high. People fought for it as it was extremely scarce. It was indeed overkill to use it as poison.However, he still found what she said funny and couldn’t help but chuckle at the imagery.“What are you laughing at?”“You’re cute.”He
