Sweetheart Do You Still Love Me Chapter 46


    Chapter 46 Pay It as It Lays


    “Nah, you don’t have to retire. Just give me some medicine.” A light shed in Elspeth’s eyes, and she


    smiled lightly.


    The doctor was a well-known doctor in this hospital. So, when he heard that she wanted medicine, he


    frowned in confusion. “What do you want it for?”


    “I have my reasons. Just say if you want to give it or not.”


    The doctor’s eyes darted around as he thought about it for a moment and nodded in agreement.


    Elspeth smiled in satisfaction as she took out a porcin-white bottle from her pocket. The whole bottle


    was crystal clear with a slight blue tint.


    She opened the bottle, poured the emerald green medicinal ointment onto Callum’s back, and gently


    rubbed it. A cold sensation spread across his body, and he instantly felt the burning sensation on his


    back lessen significantly.


    “I’ll apply the ointment to you once a day from now on, and you’ll recover after a week.”


    “A week?!” The doctor’s eyes widened in disbelief and bewilderment. “Impossible! It is impossible for a


    skin transnt to recover and be as good as new in a week.”


    Elspeth closed the bottle cap and put it back into her pocket. “Of course the scar won’t fully be gone.


    That would be far too unrealistic. It needs long-term treatment. It is good enough if he can recover 70%


    to 80%.”

    “Alright. I’ll wait and see the exact result after seven days.”


    “Of course.” She raised her chin proudly.


    After the doctor packed up his things and left, Callum stared at her deeply and asked, “Why did you


    make that bet with him?”


    Although he knew that she was unpredictable, there was nothing she could do to treatrge-scale burn


    scars except for skin grafting. Could the magical ointment grow new flesh? No, that was ridiculous.


    “Because I have the confidence to win,” she said, utterly self-assured, and her eyes shone brightly. She


    seemed to be fearless.


    “I hope you don’t make a fool of yourself.”


    “Sure. Just wait and see.” She snorted.


    He didn’t say anything, but the emotions were rummaging inside him.


    Elspeth would apply ointment to Callum’s wound for the next seven days. The cold sensation gradually


    disappeared day after day, and finally, he didn’t feel anything at all. He began to wonder if the ointment


    had lost its effect. Nheless, he couldn’t see the condition of his back, so he could only wait until


    she revealed the result after seven days.


    Seven dayster, the doctor arrived as promised. He went to the bed and took off Callum’s top to check


    on his back. Just one look left him in a shock.


    “A-Are you sure he’s still the same man?”


    That day, he clearly saw how severe the burns on Callum’s back were. Even he couldn’t guarantee a


    cure, which was why he dared to take the bet. Nevertheless, the scar on his back was so faint that he


    even poked it doubtfully.


    “Amazing! This is so amazing…”


    The doctor couldn’t help but admire Elspeth’s superb medical skills. It was extraordinary for a girl in her


    twenties to have such uncanny skills.


    Callum could hear the shift of the tone of Vance Tate, the doctor, so he was astonished too.


    “So, your promise still stands, right?” Elspeth didn’t care if she won her bet. She only cared if the bet


    would be honored.


    “Of course!” Vance nodded excitedly. “What do you want?”


    She rubbed her chin, thought for a moment, and said, “I want a hundred years old Ganoderma.”


    “What?” Vance was taken aback and frowned. “I—”


    “Hold on. Don’t tell me that you want to go back on your words, Dr. Tate?”


    Vance pursed his lips in embarrassment. Finally, he sighed dejectedly. “Alright,e with me.”


    He led Elspeth to the hospital’s pharmacy. As soon as he turned on the light, they heard a roar. “Vance!


    I almost had a heart attack! Why did you appear like a ghost?!”


    Vance smiled apologetically at her before looking in the direction of the sound and snapping, “Norman,


    we have a guest here. Can you show me some respect?”


    “A guest?”


    Suddenly, Elspeth felt a gush of wind swirl over her, and in the next second, someone gripped her hand


    tightly.


    “Are you the guest that Vance was talking about?”


    She didn’t know what kind of response she should give the man because she didn’t know who the


    person was, nor could she move as the person gripped her hand tightly.


    “She is incredible! She can treat burns; the scars are almost as good as new! This is amazing! I’ve


    practiced medicine for decades, and this is the first time I saw such a miraculous scene!”


    Norman Frost chuckled. “Incredible? Miraculous? The wound is curable in terms of traditional medicine,


    but—” He turned to Elspeth and asked, “Who taught you these? Who is your mentor?”


    “Sonny Schwartz.”


    “What? Sonny Schwartz?!” Norman gasped in astonishment when he heard the name. “Do you mean


    Sonny Schwartz, the renowned and talented doctor in traditional medicine? And you are his


    apprentice?”


    She was slightly bewildered by his reaction but nodded nheless.


    Renowned? Talented? He is nothing but an old man who enjoys drinking and will make a fuss when he


    loses at chess.


    “She asks for a hundred-year-old Ganoderma. Do you think we should give it to her or not?” Vance


    interrupted and mentioned the request.


    “Haha! Of course, we should! But can you please lend me your notes on burn medicine for me to


    study?” Norman had loved traditional medicine since he was young and had studied it for decades. He


    wouldn’t let the chance of getting to know a novelty medicine slip out of his hand.


    “Sure!” Elspeth agreed without hesitation.


    It was almost impossible for a person to formte precisely the same medicine without a specific


    form and guidance. If Norman could produce it, it meant that he was also highly talented, and it


    would be far from a waste for such a person to have the recipe.


    After she received the Ganoderma as promised, she departed happily. She called Harper and passed


    the Ganoderma to him for temporary safekeeping before returning to the hospital.


    At this moment, amotion was happening at the hospital entrance.


    Two women were arguing and making a ruckus. One of them was wearing a mask, sunsses, and a


    hat. She looked rather stunning but patiently refuted the other party while remaining polite and calm.


    On the contrary, the other woman kept shouting at the top of her lungs like a barbaric hillbilly. She even


    cursed the other woman with vulgar words.


    Elspeth didn’t intend to meddle, but when passing by them, the hillbilly suddenly gasped as if she was


    suffocated and then copsed to the ground. Shey on the ground, foaming at her mouth and


    breathing rapidly. It seemed like she had an asthma attack and would stop breathing any minute.


    The elegant woman was shocked and wanted to check on her, but the hillbilly’s friend pushed her away


    and began to curse her.


    Elspeth turned around to take a closer look and felt that the woman looked somewhat familiar. If she


    was not mistaken, the woman was the one who sent flowers to her after she sang a song with ke at


    his concert the other day.


    At the thought of this, she couldn’t give the woman the cold shoulder.


    “Let me check on her,” she stepped forward and said gently.


    “You? Who the hell do you think you are, youngdy?! Do you know about medicine? If something


    happens to my friend, I’ll ruin every single one of you!”
