Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me

Chapter 631

CHAPTER 631 CONCERNED

"I think this is too risky, Elsie."

Elspeth knew that too, but she had the idea, so she must try. The results didn't matter; what mattered was that she put in her effort. "I'll think this through, alright?"

Harper wasn't too worried since Elspeth was a rational woman. "I'll go back to work now." He coughed again.

Elspeth was worried for him. "You should rest if it's getting too hard. I can handle things myself." Harper had done a lot for the company.

"This is nothing. I can handle this."

Still worried, Elspeth told him to take care of himself before she hung up.

A few days later, one piece of news made its way to the headlines.

'Famous lawyer Hank infected. His days are numbered.'

Elspeth couldn't believe what she was seeing. Hank? She read through the whole thing before she believed it was really Hank. All she felt was a hint of sympathy, but most of what she felt was grim satisfaction. Justice. Sadly, she didn't even get to celebrate her near-psychopathic delight for long before Yelena called her.

Elspeth could hear that Yelena was concerned. "What happened to him? How is he?"

She didn't think Yelena could get the news so soon. "You're overseas. Why are you so concerned about him?"

Quiet sobs could be heard through Yelena's voice. She obviously just cried. "I know it's a bad look, but I just can't help it." Yelena was a little embarrassed. "How is he doing?"

Elspeth sighed. "No idea, but judging from the news, he's been infected for a while now."

"I heard there's no cure for this just yet. Will he…" Yelena couldn't bear to imagine the outcome. She was shocked when she found out about the news. Someone like Hank got infected? How? She couldn't believe a clean freak and an introvert like Hank could be infected.

Yet when she called Elspeth and got the confirmation, she realized Hank must be in trouble. Still, she had no right to be concerned about him. He had even blocked her number. The situation just felt really odd. She should hate Hank's guts or even feel happy he was infected, but for some reason, she was worried. It felt like she would lose him soon.

Elspeth couldn't believe her friend was worried. At that, she sighed. "You're still worried about him after what he did to you?"

"I know I must look stupid, but I am worried. I've been feeling uneasy since I found out about the news this afternoon." Yelena pleaded, "You have to help me out. I know you can find out more about his situation."

Elspeth didn't want to do this. If the news was fake, then her effort would be for nothing, but if it was real, then Yelena would totally lose sleep over it. "Do you really want to know?"

"Yes." Yelena gritted her teeth. "I have to know how he's doing."

Elspeth mocked, "But he has a girlfriend. If she's not even worried, why should you be?"

Yelena said nothing. A long silence later, she said, "I see. Thank you, Elsie." Subsequently, she hung up.

Elspeth couldn't see her friend being so glum, so she accepted the request. The plan was to go out, but since everyone was forced to stay at home, she couldn't do that. Hence, she called the Damazio Residence. I'll try something else if I can't get through.

"Who is this?" a young lady asked.

Elspeth cut to the chase, "How's Hank doing?"

"And why do you ask?" The girl got on guard, seeing that another girl was worried about Hank.

"None of your business. I'm not his friend. I just want to know his situation."

The girl harrumphed. "If you're not even his friend, then why do you care about him?"
