Hiding Behind Her Superficiality novel Chapter 324

Chapter 324

When Elspeth tried her best to rush to the hospital, Isabel was already in the operating room. Elspeth asked Uno to leave and waited outside the operating room alone.

The operation took a long time, but a doctor exited the room solemnly when it was still on the fly. "Who's the family?"

"Me." She hurriedly came up to him.

"The bums are bad. We barely saved her from death's door, but we can't recover her skin from the bums."

"It's okay. Thank you for saving her." This is the best possible outcome I could ever pray for. I can take things over from there.

By the time Isabel woke up, Elspeth was the only person in the ward with her.

"Elspeth..." Her voice was so hoarse due to hydration.

Elspeth handed Isabel a glass of water atop the table so that she could moisturize her diy throat.

"Do I look ugly?"

"Not at all. Don't worry. I've promised that you will recover from these bums." Girls tend to care about their appearances, so Elspeth knew how awful Isabel felt at the moment.

Alight of hope flashed across Isabel's eyes, but it faded almost immediately. "I... Forget it. You'll be leaving the country in a few days. I'm just a burden."

Elspeth primped the blanket and shot her a glare. "What's with that nonsense? Why are you a burden? I am leaving the country, and you can come with me."

Isabel's brows furrowed. "No. If I go. old Mr. Joneson will find out about it."

She knew that there was a reason for Elspeth to stage her death—it was to hide the truth from Michael. Isabel's partaking would definitely give the game away.

"We can fake another death." A splendid idea came to Elspeth's mind.

"What do you mean?" Isabel was baffled.

"You're found dead in the fire."

Isabel finally understood Elspeth's words. Despite Elspeth's confident smile, Isabel was jittery. "Will it work? What if he finds out?"

"Don't worry about that. I'll ask someone to suppress the news. The crowd saw you taken to the hospital: everyone knows that you've suffered bums. We can fabricate a death certificate with the hospital's help."

Isabel shook her head. "I know, but seeking help from the hospital? Are you certain that they will help us with that?"

Elspeth chuckled. "I'm sure Arthur can make it happen."

Isabel finally grasped the whole plan. Right, he's a doctor! He can pull some strings to help us.

"So. am I going to leave the country with you guys?" Anticipation laced her voice.

Smiling, Elspeth nodded and pinched the girl's cheek. "Yup. You're going to reunite with Miss Joneson soon."
