Sweetheart Do You Still Love Me novel Chapter 703

Chapter 703 Where Exactly Is the Child

Elspeth refused to back down on this point. "I have only these two demands. If you allow me to fulfill them, I will wholeheartedly stay by your side. If I cannot fulfill them, then I will never be at ease."

Seeing how calm she looked made Slevin feel that she was sincere. Despite his firm stance toward Elspeth, he didn't want it to create further complications between them. "Fine, I agree. But you must promise me that once he is discharged from the hospital, you will have no further contact with him."

"Deal." Elspeth's gaze narrowed slightly.

"Alright, now can you tell me where you've kept Damian?" Elspeth brought up the topic. It was evident that she was anxious about it.

Since Damian was now covered in injuries, his wounds might have worsened due to being treated roughly. Slevin pondered for a moment. Initially, he had considered personally returning the child to her, but in the end, he gave her the address. "He's in the basement of my villa. He's perfectly safe so don't worry."

After all, Slevin had spent a significant amount of time with Damian. Despite kidnapping him, he couldn't bring himself to harm the child and opted to keep him safe at home. Elspeth smiled at Slevin as she was grateful for his humanity. "Do you want to go see him now? I'll take you there."

"Okay." Without informing Callum, Elspeth immediately got into Slevin's car, and they headed to his villa. Upon arriving, she hurriedly got out of the car and rushed straight to the basement.

Having spent more than four years together, Elspeth was familiar with the layout of his villa. As soon as she reached the basement door, she noticed that it was unlocked, which puzzled her. Furthermore, she didn't hear any sounds of a child coming from the basement.

Elspeth instantly sensed that something was wrong. She forcefully pushed the door open and entered, only to find it empty. Slevin calmly arrived behind her. "What's wrong? Isn't he inside?"

Hearing that, Elspeth turned around. Her face was pale, and her voice trembled uncontrollably. "Slevin, where did you keep him?"

It was only then did Slevin realize that something was wrong. He walked in and took a look, and sure enough, there was no sign of Damian. "I specifically checked on him before leaving and he was definitely inside. Why would I lie to you about this?"

"Then tell me, where is he now?"

"I don't know." Slevin shook his head.

Elspeth forcefully pushed him, causing him to crash into the wall. "Slevin, you're nothing but a blatant liar! Tell me where you've kept Damian! If you don't, don't blame me for what I'm going to do!"

Slevin was so angry, he laughed instead. "I've already told you, I don't know. Why would I lie to you? What benefit would I gain from lying?"

"Then where is the child?" Elspeth took a deep breath. "If what you're saying is true, and the child is missing, someone must be behind this. And it's highly likely done by someone from your household." Slevin fell silent upon hearing this.

After a while, he said slowly, "I've only given the basement key to one person."

"Who?"

"Nyla." The name was extremely unfamiliar to Elspeth. She had never heard it before.

Seeing her puzzled expression, Slevin explained, "She's a girl I found on the street ten years ago. Out of pity, I brought her home, and since she couldn't remember her name, I named her Nyla Damazio. I've been taking care of her all this time."

"Why have I never heard you mention her before?" Elspeth sneered. "I never expected that you would show kindness."
