Hiding Behind Her Superficiality novel Chapter 187

This matter had been left unmentioned for a long time. In fact, Michael had always tried to hide it. Back then, he thought of a way to send Callum’s uncle to prison, and then because it was a family scandal and could not be publicized, he hid the matter away, so much so that the younger generation did not know about this matter at all. At the mention of it again, Michael felt his heart seizing up fiercely.

Looking at Michael who was in obvious pain, Jordan knew that it was inappropriate to talk more about it. He then casually spoke a few more words and left.

In the next few days, whenever Michael met Elspeth, he told her about how good Jordan was. Elspeth naturally did not want to talk to him about this, so she simply stayed in the hospital to take care of Frank.

At this moment, she was lying on the hospital bed, eating melon seeds and playing games in a leisurely manner. Frank was dumbfounded as he said, “Elspeth, do you ever take my feelings into consideration?”

Elspeth had her headphones on while playing the game, so she did not hear anything. Frank became annoyed and took off her headphones. “Elspeth, respect me a little, okay?”

Elspeth finally heard Frank’s accusation, but her eyes still did not leave her phone screen as she casually replied, “How am I disrespecting you? I rushed over here just to take care of you.”

“And then you’re the one lying in bed right now; what about me?” Frank’s voice carried a hint of indignation.

Elspeth took advantage of the momentary cooldown after taking five kills to look at Frank, only to see him wearing a hospital gown and holding an IV drip in his hand with a sulk. On the contrary, Elspeth was lying on the bed that belonged to Frank in a leisurely way…

“Sorry, I was too used to lying down when playing the game.” Elspeth smiled awkwardly and jumped down from the bed.

Frank began to nag, “I just went to the bathroom for a moment and you were already lying in my bed. Who’s taking care of who?”

Elspeth felt a headache when listening to him. “Well, I was just lying down for a bit. Don’t be so petty.”

Frank chuckled, the annoyance in his eyes clearly obvious. “Heh.”

As the two bantered with each other, a figure in white soon walked in.

Looking at the grinning Jordan, Elspeth thought that she had to face what would come head-on no matter what.

“Elspeth, you’re also here?”

Even the way Jordan addressed her had changed. At first, he still cautiously called her “Miss Elspeth”, but today he started calling her “Elspeth”.

Elspeth greeted him with a fake smile. “Can’t I be here?”

Jordan choked when he heard that. Surprise flitted across his heart, but he still spoke calmly without any change in tone. “Of course, you can. It’s just fate that we’re meeting here.”

“Is that so? I think it is bad luck. Ah, I’m just joking…”

Not joking.

Frank was smiling, but when he heard such rude words, his smile froze on his face. Even if you don’t like him, you shouldn’t say something like that!

Nevertheless, Jordan did not seem to care. He looked at Frank with a face of concern and asked, “Are you feeling better? I heard you were injured. Because of that, I wanted to come back to visit you, but I kept getting delayed by matters.”

Seeing Jordan so concerned about himself, Frank also felt quite warm. “I’m fine now thanks to Elspeth.”

Their two families were close, and Jordan had played with Frank before during childhood.

Elspeth smiled wickedly by the side and said, “If I knew the two of you were in cahoots, I should have given you an extra terrible medicine.”

She had thought that Frank was on her side and she didn’t expect that the two of them were childhood friends. The two of them noticed the wariness in Elspeth’s eyes. It was clear whom Frank was siding with.
