Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me

"I'm not trying to provoke you.I'm doing all this to get you to join my plan," Elspeth said.

Sonny silently stared at her upon hearing that.

"Have there been any signs of this abroad?" she asked.

In response, he rolled his eyes while putting on his gloves.

"No way.For now, we are the only ones infected with it."

"Where do you think this disease could've come from?"

He shrugged and replied, "I don't know.I just know I didn't do it."

Suddenly, an outrageous answer popped into Elspeth's head.

"Do you mean someone might have intentionally set off an outbreak?"

As soon as Sonny heard that, he hurriedly slapped his hands over her mouth.

"What are you saying? You need to think before you speak!"

"Something's not right.This happened so quickly that it could not have happened naturally."

He sighed and said, "I know you're worried, but don't panic.The source isn't that easy to find.Our task at hand is to find the cure."

The stern look on Sonny's face dissuaded Elspeth from splitting hairs about it and focusing on the work.

Meanwhile, after being in Frank's care for a while, Raquella realized that she, too, could receive such treatment.

Soon, the two also grew closer to each other due to the time spent together.She received a phone call early one morning that caused her face to turn deathly white upon hearing what the other party had said.

"What did you say?" she gasped.

However, she could not make sense of what she had just heard, but the one thing she was certain of was that those words left her speechless.

After the call ended, she silently sat there, clearly taken aback.
