Sweetheart Do You Still Love Me novel Chapter 71

Chapter 71 Fake Information

“Hey, where are you going? I’m your boyfriend. Shouldn’t you be accompanying me?” Arthur was unwilling to let her slip away, so he grabbed her wrist and whispered in her ear.

Elspeth felt an inexplicable sense of discomfort when he touched her, so she struggled to get away but failed. “Arthur, you know that I don’t like you, and why I chose to be with you.”

Unable to break free, she stared coldly at him.

“I know. That’s why I’m trying to win your heart.” He leaned into her ear and chuckled. “Elspeth, don’t try to anger me. Otherwise, even I don’t know what I might do to you.”

She looked at the madman before her. “What happened to you, Arthur? When did you become so extreme?”

He looked at her disbelievingly and smiled. “Have you ever thought of the possibility that this is the real me?”

Stunned, Elspeth could not figure out what caused a young man who grew up in a happy family to become like this.

“Alright, then. Let’s not talk about this anymore. You didn’t hang with me last time, so you can’t reject me this time.” He took her hand and was about to bring her out when his phone suddenly rang.

He was called for emergency surgery because one of the patient’s conditions worsened and needed immediate surgery.

“Well, it seems like we can’t go out this time either,” Arthur exclaimed regretfully while Elspeth felt relieved.

“You should hurry up. Don’t keep the patient waiting.” A relaxed smile appeared on her face as she waved goodbye.

“Don’t get too excited, Elspeth. I can finish that small operation within two hours.”

Once Arthur was gone, a person happened to enter the Information Department and left the door ajar. As such, Elspeth took the opportunity to sneak inside while no one was looking.

Now that Arthur was caught up in surgery, she had ample time to find the needed information. Where would they keep the file?

Quietly and carefully avoiding the person inside, she hid behind a bookcase, waiting for the person to grab the file and leave before coming out of her hiding spot.

There were more than a dozen bookcases, and Elspeth had no idea where to begin looking for the file on Lydia’s mom.

She had only looked through a few cupboards and found one hour had passed. With her current efficiency, she had a slim chance of finding that file.

She sighed and was about to leave when she suddenly noticed that the files in the bookcases seemed to be arranged in some sort of pattern. The first ten bookcases were organized by letters, while the rest were organized according to last names.

Elspeth’s eyes lit up as she instantly knew where to locate the file she needed. However, she had gone through every possible bookcase but still to no avail. If my guess is right, the file is inside Arthur’s office. Seems like he has discovered my plan.

Afterward, she cleaned up her mess and exited the Information Department before heading into Arthur’s office to search for the file.

Time passed quickly, and it had been two hours since he left. She still had not found the hospitalization record for Lydia’s mom.

“Are you looking for this?” A voice sounded from above Elspeth, who looked up in shock and saw Arthur smiling with a file in his hand.

“Yes.” She looked at him and frowned. “Arthur, I’ve said it time and again. I don’t like you, so stop giving me a hard time.”
