Hiding Behind Her Superficiality novel Chapter 683

After the last incident, Sonny escaped abroad immediately. He claimed that he would be spending his retirement elsewhere, but in truth, it was actually a ploy to avoid trouble from looking for him.

He even set Elspeth’s contact to do-not-disturb mode.

Meanwhile, Elspeth wasn’t about to call him about Hank’s condition this time unless the situation turned utterly dire.

Besides, she had a surprising discovery that Wesley possessed fantastic medical skills. He was intelligent and could pick things up very quickly. She just needed to give him some tips and he could complete the tasks beautifully. So, she made him her assistant soon enough.

Hank’s sickness was a hereditary disease. So, it was a little tricky for Elspeth to cure him. She had poured a lot of time and effort into researching this particular disease and possible cures, yet she remained unsuccessful thus far. In the end, she decided to go abroad to look for Sonny to discuss a solution and look through the medicines abroad during her journey. That was why she planned to bring Wesley along with her on this trip.

Callum had also expressed an interest in joining the party, but she rejected him sternly, saying, “You still need to oversee the Winthrop Group. You can’t leave. So, there’s no need for you to tag along.”

Callum furrowed his brows in displeasure. “But I’m getting a feeling that this is a crucial period for you. You need someone to take care of you.”

“Haven’t you already arranged for Wesley to be there by my side? He’s going to be there with me. So, just relax.”

Wesley, who was standing by the side, thumped on his chest and promised that he would take good care of Elspeth. Unfortunately, that only earned him a death glare.

The gaze also seemed to contain a hint of jealousy as well…

It was only then Wesley realized the mistake he made.

He swallowed and looked up while chuckling dryly, “I mean… What I mean to say is, Mr. Winthrop is definitely the best person to remain by your side. Unfortunately, since Mr. Winthrop is busy. I will take up the responsibility to care for Mrs. Winthrop.”

Only then did Callum release a satisfied snort at Wesley’s attempt to backtrack on his words.

At least he’s sensible.

“How long will you be going for this time?”

“I’m estimating a minimum of three months.”

Three months? Callum’s brows which were smoothened earlier furrowed once again.

Three months wasn’t a really long time, but it would be cutting it a bit close as Elspeth would be giving birth around three months later.

Is Elspeth going to deliver the baby abroad?

Alas, Elspeth had no time to spare about such trivialities as Hank’s sickness had deteriorated over time.

Therefore, she brought Wesley with her, and they hopped on the plane three days later.

Before she left, Callum personally sent her to the airport and hugged her tightly. He had never imagined that this would be the last time they would see each other in a long time.

Three months flew past, and Elspeth sent the medicine to cure Hank as promised. Yet, to Callum’s dismay, Wesley, and not Elspeth, brought it back

It was then Callum realized something was wrong. He called Elspeth, but it had become a void number as if Elspeth disappeared out of thin air. At the same time, he couldn’t get ahold of Sonny as well.

He stared at the man who had collapsed in a heap on the floor, trembling like a leaf. “Where’s Elspeth? Where did she go?!”

Wesley lowered his head. After a long moment of silence, he finally said, “She’s missing. I don’t know who took her.”

“Impossible. Elspeth will never allow herself to get into harm’s way.”

Then, Wesley looked up as despair filled his eyes. “She’s lost her memory.”

“Lost her memory?” Callum was stunned at that.

“Yes. We were doing the last experiment in the lab when the alarm suddenly rang. Then, the room started to collapse. Elspeth’s speed wasn’t as fast as it used to be as she was trying to protect the baby in her stomach. A rock fell and hit her head. When she woke up, she lost her memory. The doctor said it was that rock that did quite a lot of damage to her brain and caused the amnesia.”

Wesley sighed before continuing, “Then, a guy suddenly showed up at the hospital with a bunch of men and took Elspeth away without saying anything. But they didn’t harm me, so I took the stuff and returned.”

Callum couldn’t suppress his anger and kicked Wesley. “I asked you to protect her and what did you do?”

Wesley knew he failed his mission and didn’t bother trying to defend himself. So, he lowered his head to accept his punishment. “Mr. Winthrop, I know it’s my fault. Please punish me.”
