Hiding Behind Her Superficiality novel Chapter 111

Chapter 111

Callum felt sorry when he saw Elspeth grimacing and covered in a cold sweat in his arms. He brought her to the hospital to treat her wound. When her injury was bandaged, he lifted her into the bed. “Elspeth, are you okay?”

Her focus was solely on Blake. The dagger was sharp and also dark in color, indicating a high possibility that it was poisoned.

Having sustained a stab wound, Blake could very well be fighting for his life right now.

“Bring me to see Blake. Right away.”

“Why are you still harping about him at this time?” Callum was perplexed by her fixation on Blake the second she regained consciousness. Was it because Blake took the stab for her?

She sounded anxious. “Something will happen to Blake. Bring me to him now.”

“I’ve gotten him the best doctor, so don’t worry. He’ll be fine. Your only task right now is to focus on your recovery. Forget about everything else.”

On one hand, he felt a little envious and wanted to keep Elspeth from giving Blake too much attention. On the other hand, she sustained injuries, some major and some minor, across her body. Seeing that she was in a weak condition, he did not want anything happening to her.

“Okay, I will stay put. You should get someone to keep an eye on him, then. If anything happens, please let me know right away,” she pleaded as she stared at his face.

“Sure. And you should get a good rest now.” Suddenly, something popped up in Callum’s mind, and he questioned, “How did Blake know about your emergency before I did?”

Blake had been busy with filming and did not have time to visit Elspeth in the past two days. Callum wondered how his brother got hold of the news faster than himself, who dedicated time to investigation and monitoring.

“They didn’t take away my phone, so I secretly texted Blake and sent him my geolocation. And he came for me.” Elspeth did not see anything wrong with her words, but they were simply jarring to Callum.

“Why do you always text him first every time you got into trouble?” He was green with envy at her unfair treatment of him.

She chuckled. “It’s no secret that our Mr. CEO here is busy all the time. When would you have the time for me? Tthought you had to mentor your new hires.” Her words reeked of sarcasm, but she did not mean it seriously. She only wanted to banter. Truth was, she had thought that it was Callum who got her text.

His face soured when he realized that Elspeth was still mad at him and Alaina. “I told you before that my relationchin with Alaina is not what you imagine We are merely hoss and emnlovee ”

“Boss and employee, you say? And deres that normally involve hugging?” She was reminded of the scene by the roadside stall. Alaina threw herself at Callum, who did not push her away. That was a sure hint of his feelings for Alaina, Elspeth decided.

“You saw that?” Callum was taken aback, for he did not expect Elspeth to have witnessed the scene.

“So what? I saw you really enjoy hugging Miss Sullivan. You do not have to explain your relationship with her to me. Even if you fall for her, it is none of my business anyway.” She sounded cynical, but she felt extremely saddened when she looked at his face. It’s true. Men’s sweet talk can never be trusted, else I would be left with nothing once the relationship gor’s past its honeymoon phase.

Callum was speechless at her remark. He felt a slight sting of pain when he heard her describing their relationship with such indifference.

“Alright. I have something to deal with. Leaving now,” he said to her and tucked her in. Then, he left the ward.

Callum went to Blake’s operating room personally. After all, they were brothers who shared an amicable relationship. Callum felt sorry to see him hurt, especially when it was for Elspeth.
