    Chapter 428 Callum’s Help


    Elspeth''s abduction happened quietly without anyone noticing.


    As the car jolted along the road, Elspeth, who was already unconscious, woke up from the shaking.


    The man sitting in front was focused on driving and didn''t notice that she had awakened. She couldn''t


    resist devising a n.


    Though her hands were tied behind her back, the ring on her finger, which concealed a de, was still


    in ce.


    She quickly triggered the mechanism using her nimble fingers and exposed the de.


    To avoid being heard, she moved the de silently, taking advantage of the bumpy ride and the man


    driving ahead, who was bobbing his head along to the music. He didn''t hear a thing.


    Finally, she freed herself and held the de to the man''s neck.


    Feeling a cold sensation around his neck, the man had a bad feeling. "Miss, how did you suddenly


    wake up?" he asked.


    Ignoring his question, Elspeth ran the de against his neck. "What do you want?"


    When the man heard it, he was scared and tried to maintain control of the car. "I''m driving, ma''am. If


    you want us both to be safe, you should let me go," he mumbled.


    Elspeth sneered at that. "Why do you think that if you die, I won''t be able to drive the car?"


    "Ma''am, please don''t kill me. I''ll tell you everything," the man said, as he had never been in such a


    situation as a transporter.


    Within two minutes, he spilled the beans.


    "You mean Jasmine asked you to take me to the McGrath Residence?"


    When she heard that, she was utterly puzzled.


    "Yes, she asked me to take you to the McGrath Residence, and the rest is none of my business," the


    man muttered while sweating profusely.


    It''s strange. I thought Jasmine has an intense hatred for me and wants me dead. But now, it seems like


    she wants to take me to her residence. What can her motive be if she doesn''t want me to die?


    Elspeth''s anxiety turned into curiosity. She would see what Jasmine had in store for her. "Okay, then.


    Just take me there as usual."


    After saying this, she sat down and put away the de in her hand.


    "What? Aren''t you nning to run?" The man couldn''t help but blurt out the question, but he almost bit


    his tongue in the process. Why am I getting involved in her business? Besides, my primary purpose is


    to deliver her, right? This woman is strange too. She knows she will be kidnapped, yet she remains


    calm and willing to face any danger.


    "I have nothing to do with you anymore. By the way, tie my hands in the loosest knot when we arrive."


    Elspeth was bing increasingly curious.


    The man dared not respond to her and could only nod twice.


    Half an hourter, the car arrived at the McGrath Residence.


    She reached out her hands, and the man tied her up with the loosest knot as per her request.


    After tying her up, he handed Elspeth, who pretended to have just woken up and was still bewildered,


    over to the person waiting at the entrance.


    "You did a good job. I''ll transfer the money to your bank."


    The man was so happy that he didn''t even care about what had just happened. He only nodded with a


    smile.


    After he left, the man in charge of receiving Elspeth kicked her leg to signal her to follow him.


    Elspeth quietly took note of this incident, nning to seek revengeter.


    As the two of them walked inside, the people in the house stared at them.


    This made Elspeth even more suspicious.


    As they walked further, she suddenly smelled a strong aroma of medicinal herbs, as if the whole house


    was marinated with them.


    The man''s tone was impatient as he ordered, "Okay, you can go in by yourself now."


    After saying this, he turned and left. Before leaving, he kindly untied the rope on her hands.


    While untying the rope, he muttered, "I don''t know how he tied it so loosely. You, on the other hand,


    didn''t even resist."


    Elspeth smirked. "It''s none of your business."


    The man was suddenly enraged, but because of the situation, he dared not to speak up and could only


    re at her fiercely before turning away.


    Elspeth moved her wrists, which were a little sore from being tied up, before pushing open the door to


    enter a quaint courtyard.


    In the courtyard''s center was a pot boiling with medicinal herbs, emitting a steaming aroma.


    Elspeth was no stranger to herbs. She leaned forward, fanned the wind toward her nose with her right


    hand, and barely discerned the herbs inside by the smell.


    "I have nothing to do with you anymore. By the way, tie my hands in the loosest knot when we arrive."


    "Medicine to drive away the cold."


    "This youngdy knows her way around medicinal herbs, eh? Nowadays, there aren''t many young girls


    like you who are willing to study it."


    An old voice came from behind, and Elspeth turned to see a smiling man in a white robe. Despite


    appearing to be in his sixties or seventies, he was as sharp and energetic as a man in his prime.

    "May I know who you are?" Almost instinctively, Elspeth felt a sense of respect for the man in front of


    her.


    The old man was pleased with her respect and his impression of her improved slightly.


    "I am Haris McGrath, Jasmine''s grandfather."


    So, he is her grandfather. Elspeth had read in some material that the McGrath Family was a renowned


    family of traditional medicine, and Haris McGrath was a famous name in the field, but his


    granddaughter didn''t seem to be living up to that reputation.


    They were two separate people. Elspeth nodded and smiled. "Hello, Mr. McGrath."


    "I heard from Jasmine that you''re having health problems. Is that true?" Haris carefully observed her


    face and instantly figured out something. "Yes, you''re a bit weak."


    Her heart skipped a beat, and she couldn''t help but be more guarded against the man in front of


    her. How did Jasmine know about my health problem? Did Callum tell her?


    At this point, Elspeth''s emotions were chaotic, and she couldn''t quite express her feelings.


    Seeing that Elspeth was lost in thought, Haris asked with a smile, "Jasmine begged me to help you


    with your treatment. I have been retired for ten years. You''re lucky to have me brewing medicine for


    you."


    Elspeth was shocked to hear this and was almost speechless. How could Jasmine, who is at odds with


    me, possibly ask her grandfather toe out of retirement to save me? That doesn''t make any sense!


    But when she thought more about it and recalled many overlooked details, everything seemed to point


    to one person—Callum Winthrop.


    Is Callum the one who arranged everything?


    After she figured everything out, Elspeth clenched her fists and spoke firmly, "Thank you for offering to


    help me, Mr. McGrath. However, I have something more important to do right now."
