Chapter 91
“When we were young. Ophelia and Arthur weren’t that close to each other. Moreover, because Arthur has always been a gentle person since young, and he looked quite prone to getting bullied, Ophelia looked down on him and chose to stick to me instead.”
Elspeth couldn’t help but tease, “Looks like you have always been a heartthrob since young. No wonder people are fond of you.”
“Come on, rein in the jokes for a bit.” Callum put on a serious expression. “So, I never expected Arthur to speak up for Ophelia.”
“That means you believe me now?”
“Yes. Your calm and composed attitude were a stark contrast to Ophelia’s panicked state. It’s difficult not to suspect her.”
Elspeth was instantly in a good mood, and even her attitude was considerably more agreeable. “So, what’s next?”
“Now I feel like neither Ophelia nor Arthur can be trusted. I’m going to transfer Mom to another hospital. It has been a week, but she hasn’t woken up yet. Something is wrong here.”
Elspeth blinked at him. “Looks like you’re not as dumb as I thought you were.”
Callum was speechless.
Still, when he saw Elspeth returning to her usual self, his mood was lifted greatly.
“If that’s so, I can tag along and help. We can’t have Arthur and Ophelia realize that we have already caught on
to them.”
“No need. I have my own plans for this matter.”
Azure Corporation held shares in almost all the hospitals in the area. Elspeth didn’t think that Callum could
handle this better than her.
When Elspeth heard what he said, she was about to tease him when she suddenly realized that Callum didn’t know her identity at the moment. So, she could only swallow the words she was about to say.
“Well, fine. But if you need any help, you can call me anytime.”
Elspeth nodded. Then, she suddenly received a call from an unknown number.
The voice coming from the phone sounded familiar. It was only then that she remembered she had been
“Okay, I’ll be there right away.”
After ending the call, Elspeth curved her lips into a faint smile. “I have something to do right now. Gotta go.”
Callum nodded. “All right.”
After bidding Callum goodbye, Elspeth went to a café nearby, which was the location she and Timothy had agreed to meet at earlier.
Elspeth had just arrived when she saw Timothy seated a short distance away, drinking coffee. Just like his name, he looked reserved and polite, and he exhibited no trace of his maniacal behavior last night.
“Have a seat, please, Miss Lynwood.”
Elspeth smiled as she sat down. “So, have you already made the preparations to join Luminous?”
The way Elspeth treated him made his eyes slightly red. “Miss Lynwood, thank you.”
“For what?”
Timothy took a deep breath. “I know you banked in 2 million to me last night. The 2 million was enough to pay
for my wife’s treatment.”
Elspeth paused for a moment, then said, interested, “How did you know it was me?”
“Miss Lynwood, I am now helpless and all alone. You’re the only person who would’ve helped me out, so how can it be anyone else?”
“It’s okay. This is your due reward, isn’t it?”
Elspeth smiled faintly. “This is also considered… ransom for Yelena.”
Timothy’s face turned red in an instant.
He kidnapped Yelena because he had run out of options. His wife was seriously ill, and he needed money urgently to pay for the treatment.
But he had lost even his job, so where could he get money to pay for the treatment?
