Love's perfect match novel (Elspeth and Callum) novel Chapter 116

Chapter 116

It was a provocation, but Elspeth couldn’t care less about it.

“What brings you here? You have nothing to do with the Jonesons,” Alaina continued, holding onto the certainty that Elspeth was here to butter the Jonesons up.

“Oh? Why are you here then?”

Upon hearing the question that she had been waiting for, Alaina raised her head proudly. “We’re relatives. My mother is old Mr. Joneson’s niece and that makes Lola and I cousins. Do I have to explain more about the reason for my visit?”

Alaina heard that the eldest son of the Joneson Family was on a vacation with his family in Damoria, but his daughter fell into Namean River which resulted in her hospitalization. When Alaina received the news, she put off her meeting and made a dash for the hospital.

Her mother once told her that riding the Jonesons’ coattail would be a great boon to them. The Joneson Family was one of the largest influential families in Konig, let alone in Damoria.

As long as she could get in Lola’s good books, it would be a breeze to request something whenever she required help in the future.

Elspeth chuckled upon realization. Just cousins? Is that something to be proud of?

She countered coldly, “Save that for yourself. Someone might mistake you as old Mr. Joneson’s granddaughter.”

Noticing her displeasure, the man frowned. “Alaina, she’s Lola’s savior. It’s not like what you think it is.”

Alaina was stunned. “You mean the woman who saved Lola was Elspeth?”

“Yeah. Who else could it be? You? A mere distant cousin?” Having said that, Elspeth figured that it was unbecoming of her to mock Alaina in front of others, so she decided to leave.

Meanwhile, realizing her defeat against Elspeth, Alaina hurriedly turned to face Lola with a smile. “Lola, I’m here to keep you company.”

“Nope. I’m good.” It seemed like Lola did not favor Alaina. Lola’s gaze was glued onto Elspeth the whole time. “Elspeth, don’t forget about your promise. I won’t be staying in the hospital for long.”

The girl was sharp enough to know that she needed not to stay in the hospital for a long period.

“Okay. Until next time.” Elspeth looked back at Lola with a grin before gazing at Alaina’s stiff yet awkward expression. Elspeth lifted her chin as she could not be bothered to put up a fight with Alaina. Her patience rendered it impossible for her to put up with Alaina’s antics. While Alaina was on the verge of going mad, Elspeth gladly left to go to Blake.

“Elspeth, where have you been? It’s been four hours. I called you over twenty times, but you didn’t pick up the call.” Akin to an abandoned child, Blake gave her his puppy eyes, hoping she would comfort him.

“I saved a kid on my way back and…” She suddenly realized something and quickly searched through her pockets. She lost her phone.

“I might’ve lost my phone in the river, but it’s alright. I was thinking of buying a new one.”

The mention of a river stunned him, and he soon became concerned. “What river? Did you fall into the river? Are you alright?”

The corner of her lips twitched. “I didn’t. Didn’t I just say that I saved a kid on my way back? I accidentally lost my phone when that happened.”

“Please don’t do anything risky like that again in the future.”

Elspeth chuckled. “Yeah, yeah. Oh, I dispensed new medicine for you. You have to finish all of them accordingly and you should be able to recover by then.”

Lowering his head, Blake murmured, “But I don’t want that.”
