Love’s Perfect Match Chapter 96

Stunned by Elspeth’s request, Sonny asked, “I-Is this lady asleep or something?” After a brief pause,

he said something that left everyone surprised.

Knowing how humorous her mentor was, Elspeth rolled her eyes upward in silence. “She is in a

vegetative state now. Can you help her?”

“Oh, come on. It’s not that serious. I’m sure you can handle it yourself, Elspeth.”

“I don’t know how I can do that,” Elspetli responded casually.

“What? You don’t know how to handle that yourself even after I taught you so seriously? Dear god! You

just broke my heart…” Sonny pretended to cry, thinking it should make his mentee feel helpless when

she saw an old man like him so sad.

“Alright. Stop crying, okay? I’ll book a flight for you taking off in an hour. It should take you about four to

five hours to get here, so be here as early as you can,” Elspeth chuckled and added, “or you can forget

about getting your revenge in chess.”

As Sonny was about to reject Elspeth, he quickly changed his mind and wiped his tears after hearing

Elspeth’s threat. “Fine, I’ll help her. It’s not a big deal anyway. Ugh! I have a feeling I’m going to suffer

horribly at your hands!” Sonny had no choice but to pack his clothes after the conversation despite his

reluctance.

Meanwhile, Elspeth shifted her eyes to the doctor and raised her eyebrows, asking. “So, do you believe

me now? If you don’t, you’re welcome to wait here until he shows up.”

In the face of Elspeth’s confidence, the doctor started to suspect that he might’ve been wrong after all.

Furthermore, having seen the video call between Elspeth and Sonny, he was filled with guilt and shame

instead of arrogance and belligerence.

“It’s alright. I should get going now. I still have some business to attend to…” Already ashamed of his

ineptitude, the doctor knew that more humiliation would be waiting for him if he continued to stay

behind. Although he was tempted to watch and learn from Sonny, his ego would not allow him to

tolerate any more

humiliation.

“Alright, see you around, doctor.” After the doctor was gone, Elspeth turned her attention to Callum.

“My mentor is going to be here soon, Callum. Your mother is going to be alright.”

Callum nodded, feeling somewhat relieved when he saw the reassuring look on Elspeth’s face. Four

hours later, Sonny arrived with a huge suitcase as he hurriedly made his way to the hospital. “Where is

the patient, EP?”

“Why are you wearing this ugly outfit again?” Elspeth knitted her eyebrows when she saw Sonny.

“Come on, it isn’t that bad. Even the old ladies who live around my place say that I look fine in this

outfit. Beauty is in the eve of the beholder, my dear.” Sonny pouted, feeling bitter.

“Alright, whatever. Now, put down your luggage and take a look at this patient.” Elspeth led the way and

took Sonny to Margot.

When Sonny began his work, he immediately dropped his playful attitude and became serious. Upon

bending over to take a closer look at Margot, he stretched out his hand to feel the pulse on her neck

and wrist before he finally stopped chuckling mischievously.

“What’s wrong?”

“Nothing. Although it isn’t anything serious, it’s going to take some time.”

“In that case, why are you frowning?” Elspeth speechlessly asked.

“I’m just a little upset to think that I have to stay here for a few days,” answered Sonny with a bitter look.

“I want to go back and play chess. I don’t want to stay here and breathe in the air filled with the scent of

disinfectant and medicine.”

The corner of Elspeth’s lips twitched, but even so, she patiently asked, “Well, are you going to treat her

or

not?”

“Y-Yes, I will. Now, I need everyone to be out of this room so that I can perform acupuncture on her.”

After

making sure everyone had left the room, Sonny closed the door behind him right away.

As they stood outside the door, Callum gazed at Elspeth with an unfathomable expression, but the lady

saw through the concerns in his mind. Thus, she laughed it off and said, “Alright, I know what you’re

worried about. Sonny may look like a playful, childish old man, but he is pretty serious and professional

when it comes to his work. Hence, I’m pretty sure he’ll save your mother.”

Callum nodded his head without answering Elspeth directly. Instead, he asked, “Well then, do you still

need to

return to the office?”

“Return to the office…” Elspeth instantly felt awkward, for she hadn’t told Callum about her departure

when she left the company in a fit of pique earlier. “Uh.. Am I expected to go back?”

“Well, the position of the Design Department’s director is still there for you. I’ve always made sure of

that,”

Callum answered.

“Alright, I’ll be back then.” Elspeth nodded in agreement after feeling Callum’s sincerity.

“Perhaps we should bring everything you need back to the office while Mr. Schwartz treats my mother. I

bet he

is going to take some time before he’s done.”

“Now?” Elspeth asked in a surprised manner.

“Of course. I was hoping you’d return to Winthrop Group by today.” Not long after finishing his

sentence, Callum was reminded of what happened earlier that morning. “I also hope that you’d move

back to the

Despite that, Elspeth was still reluctant to do what Callum said, especially when she thought about

what happened in the Winthrop Family. “But I…

“Say no more and come with me.” Callum couldn’t stand the thought of Jordan getting close to Elspeth.

Sensing his jealousy, Elspeth immediately thought of Jordan. “What’s wrong? Are you bothered by

Jordan?”

“I’m glad you know what I’m thinking.” Callum gave the lady a cold glare. Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

Elspeth chuckled on the inside and nodded in a way that made her seem as if she was reluctant. “Okay

then, I hear you. I’ll go with you. Your mother is in good hands, so don’t worry about her. My mentor will

take good

care of her.”

After that, the duo briefly discussed their next move before returning to the Winthrop Group together.

Over the next few days, Callum barely returned to the office and put Edmund in charge in his absence.

On the other hand. Edmund went to great lengths to make sure everything was in place on his watch,

determined to prove

his worth to his brother.

“Elspeth?” Edmund was alarmed when he saw Elspeth. “Come on, Callum. How could you bring her

back here? I thought she was gone.” Although Edmund was not his father’s favorite child, he was

grateful for his mother since she treated all the children fairly. Therefore, now that Margot was in

trouble, he couldn’t help but think that Elspeth was responsible, having a strong prejudice toward her.

“Elspeth will be back to work from now on.” Callum gave a terse reply without any intention to elaborate

further.

“Seriously, Callum? Have you forgotten what Elspeth did that day? That’s our mother! No one knows

when wil Mom recover from her miserable condition now, yet you’re getting close to this lady?! Is this

how you repay

Mom for her kindness?”

Edmund lost his temper and continued his speech angrily, “I only agreed to let you look after Mom and

run th company because you insisted, Callum, but I certainly didn’t see this coming. What’s the

meaning of all this?”

Upon hearing his brother’s response, Callum was caught off guard, not expecting a dramatic response

from Edmund since he was usually easy-going and mild-mannered. “No, it wasn’t me.” Elspeth took a

step forward and tried to explain her innocence.
