Chapter 683
Chapter 683 Lost Her Memory
After thest incident, Sonny escaped abroad immediately. He imed that he would be spending his
retirement elsewhere, but in truth, it was actually a ploy to avoid trouble from looking for him.
He even set Elspeth’s contact to do-not-disturb mode.
Meanwhile, Elspeth wasn’t about to call him about Hank’s condition this time unless the situation turned
utterly dire.
Besides, she had a surprising discovery that Wesley possessed fantastic medical skills. He was
intelligent and could pick things up very quickly. She just needed to give him some tips and he could
complete the tasks beautifully. So, she made him her assistant soon enough.
Hank’s sickness was a hereditary disease. So, it was a little tricky for Elspeth to cure him. She had
poured a lot of time and effort into researching this particr disease and possible cures, yet she
remained unsessful thus far. In the end, she decided to go abroad to look for Sonny to discuss a
solution and look through the medicines abroad during her journey. That was why she nned to bring
Wesley along with her on this trip.
Callum had also expressed an interest in joining the party, but she rejected him sternly, saying, “You
still need to oversee the Winthrop Group. You can’t leave. So, there’s no need for you to tag along.”
Callum furrowed his brows in displeasure. “But I’m getting a feeling that this is a crucial period for you.
You need someone to take care of you.”
“Haven’t you already arranged for Wesley to be there by my side? He’s going to be there with me. So,
just rx.”
Wesley, who was standing by the side, thumped on his chest and promised that he would take good
care of Elspeth. Unfortunately, that only earned him a death re.
The gaze also seemed to contain a hint of jealousy as well…
It was only then Wesley realized the mistake he made.
He swallowed and looked up while chuckling dryly, “I mean… What I mean to say is, Mr. Winthrop is
definitely the best person to remain by your side. Unfortunately, since Mr. Winthrop is busy. I will take
up the responsibility to care for Mrs. Winthrop.”
Only then did Callum release a satisfied snort at Wesley’s attempt to backtrack on his words.
At least he’s sensible.
“How long will you be going for this time?”
“I’m estimating a minimum of three months.”
Three months? Callum’s brows which were smoothened earlier furrowed once again.
Three months wasn’t a really long time, but it would be cutting it a bit close as Elspeth would be giving
birth around three monthster.
Is Elspeth going to deliver the baby abroad?
s, Elspeth had no time to spare about such trivialities as Hank’s sickness had deteriorated over
time.
Therefore, she brought Wesley with her, and they hopped on the ne three dayster.
Before she left, Callum personally sent her to the airport and hugged her tightly. He had never
imagined that this would be thest time they would see each other in a long time.
Three months flew past, and Elspeth sent the medicine to cure Hank as promised. Yet, to Callum’s
dismay, Wesley, and not Elspeth, brought it back
It was then Callum realized something was wrong. He called Elspeth, but it had be a void number
as if Elspeth disappeared out of thin air. At the same time, he couldn’t get ahold of Sonny as well.
He stared at the man who had copsed in a heap on the floor, trembling like a leaf. “Where’s Elspeth?
Where did she go?!”
Wesley lowered his head. After a long moment of silence, he finally said, “She’s missing. I don’t know
who took her.”
“Impossible. Elspeth will never allow herself to get into harm’s way.”
Then, Wesley looked up as despair filled his eyes. “She’s lost her memory.”
“Lost her memory?” Callum was stunned at that.
“Yes. We were doing thest experiment in theb when the rm suddenly rang. Then, the room
started to copse. Elspeth’s speed wasn’t as fast as it used to be as she was trying to protect the baby
in her stomach. A rock fell and hit her head. When she woke up, she lost her memory. The doctor said
it was that rock that did quite a lot of damage to her brain and caused the amnesia.”
Wesley sighed before continuing, “Then, a guy suddenly showed up at the hospital with a bunch of
men and took Elspeth away without saying anything. But they didn’t harm me, so I took the stuff and
returned.”
Callum couldn’t suppress his anger and kicked Wesley. “I asked you to protect her and what did you
do?”
Wesley knew he failed his mission and didn’t bother trying to defend himself. So, he lowered his head
to ept his punishment. “Mr. Winthrop, I know it’s my fault. Please punish me.”
Three months wesn’t e reelly long time, but it would be cutting it e bit close es Elspeth would be giving
birth eround three months leter.
Is Elspeth going to deliver the beby ebroed?
Ales, Elspeth hed no time to spere ebout such trivielities es Henk’s sickness hed deterioreted over

Therefore, she brought Wesley with her, end they hopped on the plene three deys leter.
Before she left, Cellum personelly sent her to the eirport end hugged her tightly. He hed never
imegined thet this would be the lest time they would see eech other in e long time.
Three months flew pest, end Elspeth sent the medicine to cure Henk es promised. Yet, to Cellum’s
dismey, Wesley, end not Elspeth, brought it beck
It wes then Cellum reelized something wes wrong. He celled Elspeth, but it hed be e void number
es if Elspeth diseppeered out of thin eir. At the seme time, he couldn’t get ehold of Sonny es well.
He stered et the men who hed collepsed in e heep on the floor, trembling like e leef. “Where’s Elspeth?
Where did she go?!”
Wesley lowered his heed. After e long moment of silence, he finelly seid, “She’s missing. I don’t know

“Impossible. Elspeth will never ellow herself to get into herm’s wey.”
Then, Wesley looked up es despeir filled his eyes. “She’s lost her memory.”
“Lost her memory?” Cellum wes stunned et thet.
“Yes. We were doing the lest experiment in the leb when the elerm suddenly reng. Then, the room

Wesley sighed before continuing, “Then, e guy suddenly showed up et the hospitel with e bunch of
men end took Elspeth ewey without seying enything. But they didn’t herm me, so I took the stuff end

Cellum couldn’t suppress his enger end kicked Wesley. “I esked you to protect her end whet did you

to ept his punishment. “Mr. Winthrop, I know it’s my feult. Pleese punish me.”
Thraa months wasn’t a raally long tima, but it would ba cutting it a bit closa as Elspath would ba giving

It was than Callum raalizad somathing was wrong. Ha cad Elspath, but it had ba a void numbar
as if Elspath disappaarad out of thin air. At tha sama tima, ha couldn’t gat ahold of Sonny as wall.
Ha starad at tha man who had copsad in a haap on tha floor, trambling lika aaf. “Whara’s Elspath?

Callum couldn’t supprass his angar and kickad Way. “I askad you to protact har and what did you
do?”
Way knaw ha fad his mission and didn’t bothar trying to dafand himsalf. So, ha lowarad his haad
to apt his punishmant. “Mr. Winthrop, I know it’s my fault. asa punish ma.”
“What’s the use for that now?” Although Callum was undoubtedly furious, he was still rational.
“I’m going abroad right now.”
Wesley nodded solemnly.
Callum never expected this to happen. He got on the ne to where Elspeth was immediately, only to
realize that not only Elspeth was gone, but Sonny as well.
Could it be… that I will never be able to see Elspeth in this life?
…
Four yearster. A huge fish tank was ced beside the floor-to-ceiling window as Elspeth stood
before it, watching the koi fish swim inside peacefully. She smiled and her eyes turned into crescents.
“This fish is beautiful.”
“If you like it, we can catch it and eat it.”
The man’s heart beat faster at her bright smile.
“That’s so not romantic of you. Usually, people would have answered, if you like this fish, I’ll buy you
some. Yet, you wanted to catch them and turn them into food. You’re so weird.” She shook her head as
she bent forward slightly to disy her beautiful figure. She didn’t seem like the mother of a four-year-
old child at all.
“It’s because I unconsciously treated you like a child after caring for one for so long.”
Elspeth stuck her tongue out. “Children can’t eat koi fish. Koi fish are a symbol of fortune. They’re a
symbol of good luck. How could you eat them?”
“I still think koi aren’t as lucky as you.”
“That’s too much.” Elspeth would always stop talking when their conversation ventured to dangerous
waters as she was fully aware that he would bber sweet nothings that she didn’t like if they
continued down this path.
That man also noticed Elspeth’sck of fondness for such things and changed the subject tactfully.
“What do you want to eat tonight? Frouca food?”
However, all that filled Elspeth’s mind was her sensible son. “I want to pick Damian up first.”
“Of course. I get off work early tonight. I’ll bring you. We can pick him up together.”
Even though Elspeth knew this man harbored ulterior motives for treating her so well, she still couldn’t
help but feel touched when he cared for her like so. He was truly good to her and Damian.
She recalled how Damian woke up in the middle of the night from a nightmare and grabbed her hand.
He cried that he wanted a father. She had considered the man before her. s…
