Love's perfect match novel (Elspeth and Callum) novel Chapter 593

Chapter 593 Ask For Help

"Art imitates life. That book must have drawn its inspiration from somewhere." Elspeth touched a poplar tree. "I bet your friend must have come here before."

Callum looked a little hesitant. "It's been a while since I contacted this friend of mine. Let me see if I can get in touch." He took his phone out, but the signal in the mountains was bad. When they neared a signal tower, they finally managed to get connected. Callum went through his contacts and made a call, and it went through quickly.

"What is it, Callum?" Callum's friend asked calmly.

Callum frowned. "It's about your novel called The Village. Where did you get the inspiration for this setting?"

His friend asked in puzzlement, "Why the sudden question?"

"A friend of ours got kidnapped to a village, and it's just like the one you described in your book."

The friend asked coolly, "Is your friend called Yelena Sullivan?"

Callum froze. "How do you know?"

"Where are you now?"

Callum looked around him and told his friend his location.

His friend solemnly said, "You're in the village, aren't you?"

Noticing what his question implied, Callum asked, "You're here too?"

"I'll pick you up in ten."

Ten minutes later, a handsome silhouette came out of the cloud of dust before them. Elspeth narrowed her eyes, but she said nothing.

"It's been a while, Federick." Callum smiled.

Federick wasn't fazed. He nodded and looked around, then his gaze landed on Elspeth.

Noticing the gaze from Federick, Callum said, "This is my wife, Elspeth."

"I know."

Callum wondered what he was talking about.

"We met at an authors' gathering."

She's an author? Callum shot Elspeth a look, and she quickly looked away.

"Just wrote something out of boredom."

For the first time since they met, Federick smiled, but it was a mocking smile. "That thing you wrote out of boredom got you the highest award an author can get."

Elspeth smiled sheepishly.

Callum was not surprised Elspeth had another side he didn't know about, so he just looked at Federick and asked, "Why are you here?"

"I'm a village officer."

Elspeth looked at him. He was wearing simple clothes, but he radiated an air of regality. Man. I'd love to chat, but we have work to do. "Where's Yelena?"

Federick looked in the direction he came from. "She's at my place. Come with me." He added, "This village is filled with crude, barbaric people. You guys come here all alone wearing expensive clothes and they're going to rob you."

Elspeth and Callum looked at their clothes. If they went into the village wearing these, they would be robbed, but there was no time to talk about that. Before the villagers came in droves, they carefully went to Federick's place.

Yelena was asleep on the bed when they came. She had been nervous the whole night, and exhaustion eventually overwhelmed her.

Federick poured two glasses of water for them and sat down. "You guys are here to save her?"

Callum nodded. "Yes. She's my friend."
