When Elspeth smelled the familiar disinfectant, she grimaced. “Can I not be admitted to the hospital for treatment?”
Callum cast an icy gaze at Elspeth. “What do you think?”
Elspeth gave a nervous smile. “I don’t think it’ll work.”
“That’s right.”
The aloof dreamboat stepped aside as he spoke and began scrolling through his phone.
“How about our travel itinerary?”
“It will be rescheduled due to unforeseen circumstances. It’ll help if you remain in the hospital for treatment. Don’t worry. There’s plenty of time.”
Elspeth lay resentfully on her bed.
Soon after, a doctor arrived. She was doing rounds.
Elspeth recognized the doctor’s face but couldn’t recall where she had seen the doctor.
The doctor exclaimed in astonishment the next second, “Cal, you’re here!”
Elspeth frowned and looked at Callum when she heard that.
“Hey.” Callum gave the doctor a nod.
“How have you been lately? How is Archie doing?”
Elspeth deduced the doctor’s inner feelings because she shyly nicknamed Arthur Archie.
“Everything is fine.” Callum remained the same. He was uninterested in meeting unfamiliar people.
The doctor seemed to know him. She kept quiet after exchanging a few words. Then, she came up to Elspeth’s bed to do her work.
As she stared at Elspeth, the doctor grimaced.
“Elspeth, what brings you here?”
Elspeth finally remembered the doctor.
“It’s been a long time, Moriah Oliver.”
Elspeth had an unfavorable opinion of Moriah.
She met Moriah four years ago while studying abroad. Moriah was also a medical student who knew Sonny was abroad, so she did everything she could to find him and wanted to be his apprentice.
By accident, Sonny picked Elspeth as his apprentice. With that, Moriah gave up her pursuit, and she held grudges against Elspeth since she suspected Elspeth of stealing her item.
Jealousy grew in Moriah the moment she saw her mortal enemy. Her face was extremely gloomy.
“It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you, Elspeth.”
Her words sounded sarcastic.
Moriah was not someone Elspeth wanted to deal with. She ignored Moriah and closed her eyes to rest. She didn’t even bother looking at Moriah.
Moriah checked the ward and walked out after observing Elspeth’s refusal to speak.
Just a few steps away outside the door, Moriah noticed a familiar figure.
“Archie?”
The man turned his head when he heard that. It was Arthur.
He softened his expression as he looked at Moriah.
“What a strange coincidence. We hadn’t seen one another in a long time. So, you’re employed here.”
Arthur smiled and gently patted her.
Her emotions were awakened as she fixed her gaze on him again. “Archie, could you tell me why you came to Waterside today?”
“I’m here on business.” Arthur lifted his hand and checked his watch. He frowned. “It’s getting late. I have to leave right now.”
Moriah nodded, and her idle heart began to beat rapidly once more. “Can we have dinner tonight, Archie?”
Arthur was about to dismiss her. He changed his mind when he saw Elspeth’s name on her case page and answered, “Of course.”
Elspeth was bored in the ward and was staring at Callum.
