Sweetheart Do You Still Love Me Chapter 175


    Arthur stared at the unconscious Elspeth beside him as a smirk crept up his face. You still fell into my


    hands! Just as he was about to carry her up to the hotel room, a loud crash echoed from the


    sandalwood door as it was kicked wide open.Callum’s face went dark as he saw Elspeth lying


    motionless in Arthur’s arms. Although he looked sickly, he still managed to exude a threatening aura.


    “Put Elspeth down, Arthur!”When he was unconscious, he overheard Elspeth say that she would meet


    Arthur at the hotel. He tried his hardest to pry his eyes open when he felt the emptiness beside him to


    look for her. Just as expected, he found her there.“That was quick of you, Callum,” Arthur sneered. It


    was frankly not within his calctions that Callum would still have the strength toe over when he


    was poisoned. Nevertheless, Arthur had to give him credit for his tenacity.“Well, I wouldn’t have known


    you were such a b*stard if I didn’t.”Callum coughed softly with a hand over his mouth and tried to


    suppress the ill effects of the poison on his person. His gazended on Elspeth in Arthur’s arms as fury


    lit up in his eyes. “Aren’t you releasing her?”“Let her go?”Arthur jeered, “Have you forgotten that you’re


    poisoned, Callum? You won’t be able to beat me no matter how proficient you are at fighting.”“Who told


    you that I came alone?”Suddenly, a group of burly men showed up from behind Callum. They were all


    packed with muscles, making it an intimidating scene.That made Arthur’s smile disappear in an instant.


    “You’re pretty clever.”“You only have one minute, Arthur. Put Elspeth down and hand over the


    ginkgo.”Callum’s words felt like a joke to Arthur as he sharply rebuffed, “Elspeth is in my hands now.


    Shouldn’t you be the one listening to my demands?” How dare Calum threaten me? I guess he doesn’t


    care about Elspeth’s life!“You’re only one man here, Arthur. You don’t even have a single chip to barter


    against me.”“Is that so?”Arthur had no regard for Callum’s taunt as he smashed the ss onto the floor


    and picked up a shard, threateningly holding it against Elspeth’s neck with a manic smile. “Elspeth’s life


    for my freedom. That should be enough, Callum.”Callum hesitated for a moment before calmly


    answering, “Okay. Release her, and I’ll let you go.”“Aww. You wanna y the hero and save the damsel


    in distress. I’ll return her to you once I get out.”Then, Arthur held onto Elspeth’s waist as he slowly


    made his way out.Callum didn’t stop him as he followed quietly behind. Then, he even caught Elspeth,


    who was thrown to the ground as Arthur got into the cab.After the car drove off, Callum once again


    looked down at Elspeth, who was in his arms, only to see that she had opened her eyes, and they


    contained a hint of gleeful triumph. “You’re alright?”It was good news to him that Elspeth wasn’t


    unconscious, but she tricked him too!“Yea. It was an act. He said that the ginkgo was in the room, but it


    didn’t feel right for someone as sneaky as him to reveal his ace up his sleeves to me so easily. So, I


    pretended to faint under his drug and frisked him.”Elspeth raised her dainty hand and yfully shook a


    small ss bottle that disyed the ginkgo for all to see.Callum shook his head in resignation as an


    amused smile crept onto his face. “Arthur will be furious.”“Who cares? He was the one who started


    it!”He looked over her from top to bottom. Once he was confident that she was alright, he finally rxed


    a tad before asking, “How did you discover the drug?” She felt that Arthur’s drug was like child’s y


    and scorned, “I noticed it with just one whiff. That’s such a simple drug that I didn’t even want to waste


    my time making it when I started learning medicine.”Callum almost forgot that the person he was


    worried about was Elspeth, the medical genius. He was purely overthinking it.“Wait. Why are you here?


    Didn’t you pass out?”His eyes darkened as he quietly replied, “I realized you were missing when I woke


    up and recalled what you said when I was unconscious. So, I came here and found you.”Fortunately,


    he arrived in time. If Arthur had been more ruthless… He didn’t dare think of the consequences.“Let’s


    go. You and Frank will recover just fine once I’m done whipping up the antidote.”Callum nodded in


    agreement, and their entire procession returned to the Joneson Residence.The process of making the


    medicine was brief. Elspeth soon came over with a bottle filled with light yellow powder after tinkering


    for a while.“I can’t do anything advanced with theck of equipment here. So, I can’t turn them into pills,


    but the effect is the same. Here you go.”Callum picked up the medicine bottle and watched the liquid


    swirl around as he raised an eyebrow. “What happens if you poison me to death?”Elspeth, on the other


    hand, was amused by him. “If I wanted you dead, I would have transferred all your assets under your


    name to mine. Besides, who would use such an expensive herb as a poison? That’s a huge capital. It’s


    easier to slit your throat in your sleep.”She was right. The market price for this ginkgo was sky-high.


    People fought for it as it was extremely scarce. It was indeed overkill to use it as poison.However, he


    still found what she said funny and couldn’t help but chuckle at the imagery.“What are youughing


    at?”“You’re cute.”He was only stating the facts.Elspeth shot daggers at him with her hands on her hips


    like a petnt child. “What’s cute?’Callum nced at her from the corner of his eyes before


    commenting, “Small things… are cute.”She couldn’t fault him for saying that. Elspeth was tall and fair


    with long slender legs. It was just that she wasn’t really curvy.She immediately understood what he was


    hinting at and covered her chest. She returned the favor by scanning him up and down before teasing,


    “Hm, you too. Small and cute.”Her insinuation immediately triggered his dissatisfaction as his eyes


    darkened. His tone was dangerously low when he drawled, “Small?”Elspeth hadn’t realized the severity


    of the situation as she thought her retort was sessful at his disappearing smile and nodded her


    head proudly. “What? You’re annoyed by what I said? Don’t worry, Callum. Even if you really… I


    wouldn’t leave you.”Callum restrained his temper, and his tone was even as he tossed her a question,


    “Why don’t you give it a try?”“Try what?”“If it’s small or not.”Elspeth’s face instantly became beet red.


    She couldn’t continue the dirty conversation and sat on the edge of the bed, looking a little lost.Callum


    lifted his hand and curled his finger as he gave her a knock on the head. “Remember to stop saying


    nonsense next time. Else, don’t me me for bullying you.”Elspeth understood what he meant by the


    word bully despite being inexperienced in terms of intimacy. So, she scrambled to back away. “Fine,


    you win. Have a good rest. I’ve got to go to the hospital to treat Frank.”With that, she ran out of the


    room as though a pack of hellhounds was on her tail.The doors were mmed shut before Callum


    could even say goodbye. Then, he slowly curled his lips into a small smile as he recalled her panicked


    reaction.After all, it was only a matter of time before…N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content.
