Chapter 350 Lost Feelings
Callum immediately realized the change in feelings Arthur had toward Emma. Judging by what Callum knew about Arthur, Arthur would've investigated the situation like a madman if he found out that Emma had encountered such an accident. However, Arthur's gaze was completely focused on Elspeth right then. There was a provocative look in Arthur's eyes that made Callum feel uneasy.
Callum took a few steps forward to stand in front of Elspeth. "Are you here to save Emma, then?"
Arthur shrugged helplessly. "Her life is hanging on a thread right now. Even a higher being might not be able to save her, so what can I possibly do?"
"What are you doing here, then?" Callum asked.
"The emergency department found her phone and went through her favorited contacts, and they contacted me from there." Arthur gazed at Callum. "Didn't you also rush over after receiving the news?" Arthur asked with a scornful look on his face. Both Arthur and Callum were on Emma's favorites list, so there was no competition between them. Arthur seemed to have brought this up only to trigger Elspeth.
A grim look surfaced on Callum's face for a short while before he curled his lips into a smirk. "I don't think it's appropriate for Elspeth to stay with you as a single woman. I've bought her a new villa, so she'll move out today."
"I know you bought a new place recently, but does she have to listen to you?" Arthur didn't seem surprised he simply smirked while glancing at Elspeth. "What about you? Have you decided to move out? Both Helena and Isabel are still staying with me, you know."
Arthur was clearly threatening Elspeth. Her gaze shifted back and forth between the two men for a while before Callum spoke up. "They'll move out as well," he uttered firmly.
A rather troubled look appeared on Arthur's face. "Oh no, I'm afraid that might affect my treatment for Helena," Arthur said with his eyes narrowed. Elspeth couldn't tolerate such threats, so she quickly gave in. "Forget it. Maybe I can stay with him for a while more," she muttered.
Callum shot her an icy glare that shut her up. What does he expect me to do? Elspeth frowned. "Why don't you guys just kill me?"
Arthur didn't seem too bothered by the situation and simply continued to tease her with a smile. "I'm not sure what you're so hesitant about. Both of you aren't related to the other, and he was the one who suggested canceling the marriage. Why are you still affected by him?"
Callum felt his anger building up as Arthur continued to push his boundaries. "This is between Elspeth and me. It has got nothing to do with you," he hissed. The doctor was shocked to witness two guys fighting over a girl. "Um, why don't the both of you continue this argument outside?" The doctor was the one who interrupted the tense silence that had formed between the three of them.
Elspeth gave the doctor a grateful nod. "Yeah. I don't think it's right to argue about this here. Why don't we go out?" Callum expressed his agreement with a grunt. Arthur didn't have much choice, so he patted the doctor on the shoulder before leaving. "You can just do as I told you to. Take care of her."
The doctor felt chills running down his spine when he recalled what Arthur told him earlier. "Don't worry, Mr. Winthrop. I'll do as you say." Emma had a good chance of recovery, but the doctor was told to ensure that she stayed in a coma forever. What sort of grudge does Mr. Winthrop hold against this woman...?
Elspeth tried to escape after the three of them left the room, but Callum quickly tugged on the back of her shirt. "Stay right here. We have to settle this right now."
Arthur's expression darkened as he knitted his brows together. "She already told you that she doesn't want to leave with you. You shouldn't make things hard for her."
