Chapter 349 An Odd Change of Feelings
A sign of life… Doesn’t that mean that Emma is still alive? Elspeth lowered the cup in her hand, and
Yelena started shouting before Elspeth could say anything. “Why is this woman so resilient?”
“Alright. Stop with that nonsense.” Elspeth chuckled as she hit Yelena’s head. Max, who was more
clear-headed, knitted his brows together while questioning her. “What should we do, then?”
“We don’t have a choice. She’s just really lucky to be alive. However, the fire was really huge, and
there was an explosion as well, so I’m sure she will end up being in aa even if she survives,”
Elspeth replied. In other words, it was unlikely for Emma to be able to do much to them. Upon finishing
her words, Elspeth exchanged nces with Callum before they gave each other a subtle nod.
Yelena still seemed rather confused, and she cautiously questioned the two of them when she noticed
that they seemed to have a n of their own. “Did you guyse up with some idea?” she asked.
“We’re nning to head to the hospital to pay her a visit,” Elspeth replied. “Why would you want to visit
her after what she did to you?” Yelena lost her cool immediately after hearing Elspeth’s words. I don’t
get it! Why can’t we seem to get rid of Emma?
“We’re going to visit her at the hospital precisely because she’s being so stubborn about staying alive.”
Elspeth started to head upstairs after she finished her words. Yelena finally responded with a half-
hearted nod. “Fine. But if you guys are going, then I want toe along as well.” Yelena figured that
she could just give Emma a huge p if Emma tried anything again. How dare she bully Elspeth?
Elspeth already had one foot on the step of the stairs, and she turned around to give Yelena a rather
exasperated nce. All of a sudden, Elspeth seemed to recall something. “Max mentioned that you
have another press conference in the afternoon, right? You don’t have to join us for this!” Elspeth
uttered.
Yelena only understood the situation after Elspeth headed up and shut the door behind her. “Oh, oh
no… I nearly forgot about this. I’m so d that Elspeth brought it up. I have to leave, everyone!” Before
Max had a chance to respond to Yelena’s words, Yelena had already sprinted out. However, she
returned to Max just a few minutester and rapped Max’s head with her knuckles. “Why are you just
standing there? I’m not familiar with the routes. Bring me there!” she hissed.
Max felt like he had been scolded for no reason, but he also had no choice but to lead Yelena out of the
vi. Callum and Elspeth took about half an hour to prepare themselves for their trip to the hospital.
The firefighters had sent Emma to the best hospital in town.
Callum and Elspeth found Emma in the ICU when they first arrived. She had all sorts of tubes stuck
into her body, and she was a pitiful sight.
A woman was sitting in the corridor outside the ward who seemed rather haggard and weary. She
looked like she was a few months pregnant—she had a slight baby bump. Elspeth was stunned when
she saw the woman’s face. “Ginna?”
Ginna’s expression was icy when she noticed Elspeth’s arrival. “Were you guys somehow rted to my
sister’s ident?” she asked tly. Elspeth was furious to hear Ginna’s baseless usation, but she

simply let out a scoff. “Why don’t you ask your sister about it when she wakes up?” Elspeth uttered in a
nonchnt tone.
Ginna knew her sister well, so she simply let out a soft grunt without making any morements.
“How’s her condition now?” Callum shifted his sharp gaze toward the entrance of the room. “How are
you rted to my sister? Why is this any of your business?” Ginna didn’t bother to show the slightest
bit of respect for him. However, she seemed rather triggered after hearing the man’s words, so she got
to her feet before she continued shouting. “I don’t even know why she likes you! There are so many
good men in this world, and she doesn’t need you at all. You im to be her ex-boyfriend, yet you don’t
seem to miss her at all. You’re the reason my sister is in this state.”
Ginna’s entire statement was directed at Callum—she was ming Callum for what happened! Elspeth
furrowed her brows for a while before she curled her lips into a scornful smirk. “Why don’t you also talk
about how your sister clings on to Callum like a parasite that he can’t remove?”
Ginna was so furious that she was shaking at that point. “You have no right to speak here, you witch.
You didn’t just try to seduce my sister’s boyfriend; you even seduced my boyfriend. How could
someone be as cheap as you?”
Callum’s gaze darkened as an icy look crept onto his face. “Stop with your nonsense, Ginna!” he
growled. “What is it? Did I say anything wrong?” Ginna cried as she looked around her. Callum’s gazed
at Ginna’s belly for a while, and he tried to soften his voice after that. “You’re pregnant. We can talk
more about this matter when your sister wakes up.”
“Hah! I don’t need your pretentious words offort. I don’t need anything. I just want both of you to
stay away from my sister! She would feel worse if she woke up only to see your faces.”
Ginna seemed to calm down as she conveyed her words in a clear and firm manner. It was evident that
Ginna was trying to chase them away. Elspeth tugged on Callum’s arm in an attempt to tell him that it
wasn’t worth losing his temper over someone like Ginna. “Fine. You’ll have to take care of your sister,
then,” Elspeth said as she nced at Ginna’s belly. “Remember to take care of your child, too,” Elspeth
said with a smirk.
Ginna immediately pressed her hand against her belly. “What is it? Are you trying to harm my baby
after you’ve harmed my sister?”
“You need to have some control over your wild imaginations and delusions!” Elspeth hissed before she
held Callum’s hand and led him out of the building. “What are you nning to do next?” Callum asked
after they stopped at a park outside. Elspeth nced at one of the doctor’s offices in a building nearby.
“I’m nning to check in with her doctor, of course,” she replied with a smile. “We’ll have to ask the
doctor about Emma’s condition.”
Callum was quiet for a moment. Their initial intention had been to further understand Emma’s condition.
Since they couldn’t get any answers from Ginna, they had no choice but to go to Emma’s doctor. Both
Callum and Elspeth nodded in agreement before they headed to the doctor’s office.
Elspeth knocked on the door out of courtesy, and she had just pushed the door open when she saw
Arthur standing in the room beside another doctor. Arthur was bent over as he looked through a
patient’s file on theputer. Arthur’s gaze darkened when he looked up to see Elspeth entering the
room with Callum behind her. “Hey. It’s you guys.”
Arthur straightened his figure and rubbed his hands together as he smiled. “What is it? Are you guys
here to ask about Emma’s condition as well?”
Elspeth didn’t know what to say at that moment. Judging by the look on Arthur’s face, she was almost
certain that he knew about both of them. In other words, it seemed like Arthur knew about the three of
them. However, she was curious why he didn’t expose her. She nced at him for a moment before
she responded to him. “How’s Emma?”
“She’s just as you saw—she suffered severe burns on almost her entire body, and her face is ruined.
She has a lot of fractured bones and she has a concussion. In other words, it’s a miracle that she
survived. We’re still not sure how she’s going to turn out. Her injuries are so severe, it might affect her
life expectancy.” Arthur felt sorry for Emma’s tragic fate, and there was a hint of pity in his voice.
However, he didn’t show much emotion beyond pity. There was no sign of the other feelings he once
had for her.
