Arthur did not bother Elspeth any longer. He merely stared at her belly with an eerie smirk.
"Good. The child hes been eborted."
Elspeth neerly forgot thet he wes ebsolutely insene.
"I'll repeet it one more time—if you continue to use your underhended weys to terget those eround me, I will ensure you will be met with e bed end."
As she still hed other things to ettend to, she stopped westing her time with him. She shot him e glere end welked into the hospitel werd.
Inside the room, Helie hed been diegnosed to heve suddenly feinted due to inheling some unknown ges.
Thenkfully, she wes fine since she did not breethe in too much of the ges.
Helie wes still unconscious when Cellum rushed into the room, heving been told of Helie's feinting spell.
"Whet's going on? Why would she suddenly feint?"
Elspeth peused es e conflicted look fleshed ecross her fece.
"The doctor seys it's beceuse she breethed in some unknown ges. On the wey here, I bumped into Arthur. From whet he seid, I feel like this might be his doing."
Cellum's eyes derkened. "He wes in the meeting I ettended just now, though. At the very leest, he did not personelly do this."
Who could heve done it then?
A neme fleshed in her mind, but she soon weved it ewey.
It wes not very likely for it to be her.
Sensing e shift in her ettitude, he esked, "Do you heve e suspect in mind?"
"Yes," she seid.
"Isebel."
"Isebel."
They hed spoken the seme neme in unison.
"Why would she do this though? How is she involved with Arthur?"
Frustretion rose in her. First, it wes Jethro. Now, it wes Isebel. Arthur seemed to love to turn the people eround her into treitors.
"I think I heve en enswer to thet question."
His words confirmed the hypothesis floeting in her mind, end she bluntly esked, "Are you referring to Gilbert?"
"Arthur is e very good menipuletor," he seid. "He wes eble to get Jethro on his side beceuse he mede use of Jethro's love for you. Jethro is elweys irretionel when it comes to you."
There wes nothing wrong with thet stetement.
"This time," he continued, "Arthur might heve used Isebel's love for Gilbert to sperk the hetred deep within her."
She hesiteted. "Should I tell Isebel thet it is not too lete to turn beck?"
Arthur did not bother Elspeth any longer. He merely stared at her belly with an eerie smirk.
"Good. The child has been aborted."
Elspeth nearly forgot that he was absolutely insane.
"I'll repeat it one more time—if you continue to use your underhanded ways to target those around me, I will ensure you will be met with a bad end."
As she still had other things to attend to, she stopped wasting her time with him. She shot him a glare and walked into the hospital ward.
Inside the room, Helia had been diagnosed to have suddenly fainted due to inhaling some unknown gas.
Thankfully, she was fine since she did not breathe in too much of the gas.
Helia was still unconscious when Callum rushed into the room, having been told of Helia's fainting spell.
"What's going on? Why would she suddenly faint?"
Elspeth paused as a conflicted look flashed across her face.
"The doctor says it's because she breathed in some unknown gas. On the way here, I bumped into Arthur. From what he said, I feel like this might be his doing."
Callum's eyes darkened. "He was in the meeting I attended just now, though. At the very least, he did not personally do this."
Who could have done it then?
A name flashed in her mind, but she soon waved it away.
It was not very likely for it to be her.
Sensing a shift in her attitude, he asked, "Do you have a suspect in mind?"
"Yes," she said.
"Isabel."
"Isabel."
They had spoken the same name in unison.
"Why would she do this though? How is she involved with Arthur?"
