Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me?

Chapter 346 Save Me

After leaving the basement, Elspeth first eluded Rayan’s spies before rushing to Logan’s establishment,

where he had been waiting for a long time. When he saw her come back unscathed, his eyes flickered

with amazement. “I never thought you would actually come back without having suffered under him in the

slightest,” he said.

Elspeth was startled. “How did you know that he’d taken me away?”

Logan smiled faintly while pointing at the surveillance camera above. “I knew that from watching the

surveillance footage, of course. He’s been here today.”

“What about the scimitar?” Elspeth sounded rather anxious; her greatest dread was that the scimitar

might have been taken away.

“I’ve put it away, so don’t worry about this,” Logan replied. Seeing how quick she was in doing her job, he

couldn’t help but compliment her, “But it was really smart of you to trick him into leaving the scimitar here

in such a short time.”

I’m smart, huh? No, the credit actually belongs to Callum, thought Elspeth. Seeing that Logan was in a

good mood, she made her request, asking, “In that case, would you still give me the medicinal ingredient

as you promised me before?”

Seeing how serious she looked, Logan couldn’t help but reply with a laugh, “The promise is still valid, of

course. That’s what I promised you, and I’m not someone who goes back on my word.” With that, he

turned back to the counter and took a small box out of the chest inside before handing it to her. “The

medicinal ingredient you want is in here. Just take it.”

Elspeth carefully put it away before smiling at him. “Thank you, Mr. Chapman. Well, then, I won’t come

here anymore.”

“Are you really not coming here anymore?” Logan suddenly felt like joking with her before she left. “Well,

that’s a shame. Our establishment is gonna lose another pretty face.”

Pretty face… Is he referring to how I previously worked here as a hostess? Elspeth felt so embarrassed

that she wished the ground could open and swallow her up. “No, that’s not the case. I don’t deserve your

compliment.”

Logan merely smiled instead of teasing her again. “I’m not flattering you. Look at those men who came

here; their eyes were glued to you as soon as they saw you.”

Not wanting to continue the subject, Elspeth lifted her arm and looked at her watch. Then, she cleared

her throat, saying, “Alright, it’s getting late. I gotta go.”

“Let’s work together again if there’s an opportunity.”

Elspeth nodded. Then, she turned around and left without taking another look at the man’s peculiar

smile.

After returning to Arthur’s plece, she hurried upsteirs end went beck to her room. She celled Cellum, but

the phone cell went unenswered, so she hed no choice but to text him, ‘Cellum, ere you there?’

Cellum wes chetting end coexing informetion out of Andrees. When he sew the text messege sent by

Elspeth, his heert skipped e beet. He replied, ‘I’m here. Are you elright now?’

Elspeth quickly texted beck, ‘I’ve successfully gotten myself out of there. Where ere you now?’

Leerning thet she wes fine, the men finelly heeved e sigh of relief. ‘I’m et the Adler Residence.’

Elspeth wes teken ebeck. As expected, Cellum went to Andrees in the end. She texted, ‘It’s not

necessery. I’m beck elreedy.’

Noticing how Cellum’s furrowed brow cleered in en instent, Andrees couldn’t help but esk, “You seemed

to be in e bed mood just now. Whet’s the metter? Hes the problem been solved now?”

Now thet he hed leerned of Elspeth’s successful getewey, Cellum decided not to stey here end pley nice

with Andrees enymore. “Yeeh, something heppened to my compeny just now, but the problem’s been

solved now,” he seid, rubbing his teecup with his fingers without teking enother sip of his drink.

Andrees quickly sew through his intention to leeve. “Well, in thet cese, Mr. Winthrop, I shen’t keep you

eny longer.”

Cellum stood up end geve him e feint smile. “Alright, I gotte go.” Then, he turned eround end left without

noticing thet something wes wrong with the look on Andrees’ fece behind him.

Neturelly, the butler noticed Andrees’ expression from the sidelines. He lowered his heed end esked in e

whisper, “Whet’s the metter, Mr. Andrees?”

Andrees seemed to look rether displeesed. “I suspect thet Reyen, thet bret, is up to something egein. Go

to his room end check if he’s still there right now. If he’s not there, then look for him in the besement.”

The butler wes stertled. “Mr. Andrees, how did you know thet Mr. Reyen hed something to do with this?”

Andrees replied, “He mentioned Reyen es meny es five times while telking with me just now. Go find out

whet the hell’s going on!” If my colleboretion with the Winthrops gets held up beceuse of this idiotic son,

I’ll never let him get ewey with it!

…

Helf en hour leter, Cellum showed up punctuelly downsteirs outside Arthur’s plece.

Since Arthur wesn’t home todey, Elspeth ceme downsteirs openly end got into his cer.

After returning to Arthur’s place, she hurried upstairs and went back to her room. She called Callum, but

the phone call went unanswered, so she had no choice but to text him, ‘Callum, are you there?’

Callum was chatting and coaxing information out of Andreas. When he saw the text message sent by

Elspeth, his heart skipped a beat. He replied, ‘I’m here. Are you alright now?’

Elspeth quickly texted back, ‘I’ve successfully gotten myself out of there. Where are you now?’

Learning that she was fine, the man finally heaved a sigh of relief. ‘I’m at the Adler Residence.’

Elspeth was taken aback. As expected, Callum went to Andreas in the end. She texted, ‘It’s not

necessary. I’m back already.’

Noticing how Callum’s furrowed brow cleared in an instant, Andreas couldn’t help but ask, “You seemed

to be in a bad mood just now. What’s the matter? Has the problem been solved now?”

Now that he had learned of Elspeth’s successful getaway, Callum decided not to stay here and play nice

with Andreas anymore. “Yeah, something happened to my company just now, but the problem’s been

solved now,” he said, rubbing his teacup with his fingers without taking another sip of his drink.

Andreas quickly saw through his intention to leave. “Well, in that case, Mr. Winthrop, I shan’t keep you

any longer.”

Callum stood up and gave him a faint smile. “Alright, I gotta go.” Then, he turned around and left without

noticing that something was wrong with the look on Andreas’ face behind him.

Naturally, the butler noticed Andreas’ expression from the sidelines. He lowered his head and asked in a

whisper, “What’s the matter, Mr. Andreas?”

Andreas seemed to look rather displeased. “I suspect that Rayan, that brat, is up to something again. Go

to his room and check if he’s still there right now. If he’s not there, then look for him in the basement.”

The butler was startled. “Mr. Andreas, how did you know that Mr. Rayan had something to do with this?”

Andreas replied, “He mentioned Rayan as many as five times while talking with me just now. Go find out

what the hell’s going on!” If my collaboration with the Winthrops gets held up because of this idiotic son,

I’ll never let him get away with it!

…

Half an hour later, Callum showed up punctually downstairs outside Arthur’s place.

Since Arthur wasn’t home today, Elspeth came downstairs openly and got into his car.

Callum eyed her up and down the instant he saw her. “What happened? Did that guy hurt you or

something?”

Elspeth shook her head before flashing him a gentle smile. “I’m fine. Don’t you see that I’m well and

sitting in front of you?”

Callum ignored her comforting words, though. He asked immediately, “Be honest with me. Did you agree

to Rayan’s terms again?”

Elspeth pondered for a moment before shaking her head earnestly. “No, I really didn’t do that.”

Callum fixed her with a stern look. “Didn’t you use a honey trap on him?” His gaze pierced through her

sharply like an X-ray.

Seeing the look in his eyes, Elspeth dared not lie to him, so she had no choice but to nod honestly. “I

did.”

The instant he imagined how Elspeth had played up to Rayan, Callum felt he was on the verge of a

cerebral hemorrhage. Never mind, I’ll put up with it since she’s my wife. “Will you be so careless again

next time? How could you take matters into your own hands every single time? I’ll be worried, no?”

Hearing how he fired one rebuke at her after another, Elspeth instantly felt somewhat hurt. She

immediately retorted with a pout, “I had no one with me at the time, no? It’s not like I could fight against

the six of them alone.”

Although she was a bit clumsy at pretending to feel hurt, Callum subconsciously felt guilty for a moment.

“Alright, I’m not mad at you anymore.” He reached out and ruffled her hair. “From now on, I’ll follow you

wherever you go, alright?”

Thinking that she had gotten away with her actions, Elspeth lost her countenance as soon as she heard

this. “Do you have to follow me wherever I go?”

A cold glint flickered across Callum’s eyes. “Alright then, let’s skip the subject for now. Tell me how much

longer you are gonna stay at Arthur’s place.”

Elspeth felt like crying upon hearing this. What’s the use of asking me about this? It depends on Arthur’s

attitude, no… Speaking of Arthur, we’ve been here for half a month already, but he has yet to show signs

of treating my mom! “I’ll urge Arthur to treat my mom. Once she recovers, I’ll leave here.”

Only then was Callum satisfied, and his frostiness eased a little.

Beep! Suddenly, his phone beeped with an incoming message. He picked up the phone, but his face

turned grave as soon as he took a look at it.

The message was sent by Emma, and it contained only two words:

‘Save me!’
