Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me

Chapter 230

silent. Since when was I trying to say that? “But based on my knowledge of her, Moriah tends to pull tiny tricks. Whether it is targeted at you or me, we should be wary of her. We shouldn’t let our guards down.”Joseph nodded. “Don’t worry. Her little tricks won’t be able to fool me.”“Great, then. Hurry up and take your medicine.”Elspeth had spent hours brewing the medicine. He couldn’t just let it go to waste.Grabbing the bowl, he could already feel the bitterness spread in his mouth. “Can I not take it? I don’t think I can swallow it anymore.”“Of course not. Bitter medicine facilitates healing. Just listen to me and drink it.”With a crinkled face, Joseph countered, “I can’t take bitter food.” “No pain, no gain.”“Why do your words actually make sense, huh?” Joseph complained.“Well, the medicine was not supposed to be bitter. I could’ve made it sweet but was worried that you might be unable to take it, so I made a bitter version.”He was instantly dumbfounded. “Then, why didn’t you make me the sweet version?!”Joseph acted like a stubborn little kid right now.The corners of Elspeth’s lips twitched. “When I gave you a body checkup, I discovered you had two cavities.”Joseph was speechless this time.“Alright. Take your medicine. I’m leaving now.”Afraid that he might complain even more, she quickly fled the scene.Once she returned to her ward, she noticed Callum packing his stuff. As she observed his skinny silhouette, Elspeth pounced on him and hugged him from behind.“Did you miss me, Callum?”As an anti-romantic, Callum responded, “You were just out for an hour. It’s not like you’ve been away for days. Why would I miss you?”Elspeth pouted as she was unable to accept his answer.“I was missing you while I chatted with Mr. Canfield.”“What do you miss about me?” As if she recalled something, Elspeth’s expression contorted. “Wait. There’s something I have to tell you.”Callum became serious all of a sudden. “What is it?”“Do you know Moriah? She apologized to Mr. Canfield this morning. At first, I found it absurd, but he told me he gifted the hospital a banner with the words ‘Why Is Moriah Not Retired Yet?’ written on it.”He smiled at that. “Mr. Canfield is quite a dandy.”“But when Moriah left eventually, the look in her eyes was really scary. She must be plotting something.”Whenever Elspeth had a strong sense of urgency, it definitely wasn’t without reason.In the afternoon, she woke up from her sleep and realized that the room was too cold for her to sleep.Looking back at Callum, who was dozing off with his head propped up on the sofa, she thought he must be made of ice. How could he even fall asleep in such a cold room?!She thought it wasn’t done by accident.Getting off the bed, she went to wake Callum. “Callum, the heater seems to have broken down.”Callum raised his eyelids and revealed his sober gaze. It seemed like he didn’t fall asleep.“I don’t think it broke down. Someone must have deliberately turned it off.”Without even having to mention the name, the two were able to guess who they were.He looked at Elspeth’s face and ruffled her hair. “Wait here. I’ll go and see the hospital director.”Elspeth held his hand tightly and offered, “I’ll go with you.”And so, Callum had no choice but to take Elspeth along to see the hospital director.The hospital director was one to keep up with the news, so he knew Callum was the new heir of the Winthrop Family. Hence, he spoke to the man politely. “May I know what brings you here?”Callum’s tone was cold when he asked, “May I know who is in
