Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me

Chapter 229

wealthiest man, she believed he was dying and that pleasing him was futile. As a result, she had been treating his case coldly.She never expected him to be cured. What was more, she indirectly gave Elspeth the chance to connect with him.Moriah couldn’t take it any longer and took a step forward with a flattering look. “Are you in good health, Mr. Canfield?”“I’m much better thanks to the hospital’s treatment,” Joseph replied coldly, remembering the woman who caused him trouble when he was sick.It was obvious that what he said was sarcasm. Elspeth giggled and covered her mouth while Moriah’s face became thunderous, which did not look good on her.“So, Moriah, if you have nothing better to do, you should check on the other rooms. Isn’t it your job to make rounds?”With a gentle face, Elspeth showed Moriah a way out.Moriah snorted and turned to leave, knowing she couldn’t gain anything from Joseph.“Moriah is too proud and arrogant. No wonder she has been just a ward-round doctor for so long.”Even Joseph couldn’t take it any longer and uttered hurtful words.Elspeth was overjoyed to hear this and wished Moriah could hear that before leaving. “Everything is fine.

She is still recuperating.”Joseph knew Callum was upset, so he nodded quickly. “Sure. You may leave now.”Callum took Elspeth’s hand and exited.In the corridor, she could feel his anger and dared not to speak for a long time.“Elspeth.”Elspeth shuddered and froze when she heard her name called. “Yes?”“When can I marry you?”“I said we’d think about getting married after we found my mom, right?” she said as she chuckled.Callum was disappointed with the response. “We should get engaged now. After we find your mother, we will marry.”“Why are you suddenly in such a hurry? You made a promise to me.”Elspeth was picked up and pressed against the wall as soon as she said that.“I don’t want other men to covet you. Everyone should know that you are mine.”She was stunned. Do I give him too little security?“Do you want to get engaged to me?” Under the dim light, Elspeth couldn’t see Callum’s face clearly, but she could see the gleam in his eyes.“Yes.”“Let’s get back and get engaged.”“Okay.”“Before Christmas.”“Alright.”As he relaxed,
