Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me

Chapter 314

“Hey, suit yourself, but I’m the only one who can cure your mother.” Arthur looked at Elspeth, his gaze smug. “You don’t want her to die because of the illness, do you?”

“Call Sonny, then. He can diagnose her. He can tell you if I’m telling the truth.” Arthur sat on the couch across from her and crossed his legs.

“What if you go back on your word? What if you won’t save my mother after we’re engaged?” Elspeth didn’t think Arthur would keep his promise.

“Why?”

“Because you saved me. I won’t kill your mother.”
