Sweetheart Do You Still Love Me Chapter 176


    Elspeth ran out of the room with her heart pounding wildly against her chest. She only calmed down


    after taking a few deep breaths. Then, she held the other bottle of ginkgo medicine as she strode to the


    garage and got into the car toward the hospital.In the hospital, Frank was sitting on the bed watching


    an esportspetition. He seemed to be in good spirits.“Frank, the medicine is ready.” She threw the


    small bottle of medicine at him without a single hint of warning.“It’s such a tiny bottle. Is that


    enough?”Looking at the silver ceramic bottle, Frank was filled with doubt as he looked at the teeny


    silver ceramic bottle.It’s only the length of my finger. I can probably use it once.“Open it, and you’ll


    see.”Elspeth didn’t bother to exin and only told him to see for himself.Frank opened up the bottle as


    a pleasant fragrance swept over his face. It was light but fragrant with the unique smell of ginkgo.Inside


    the bottle was some sort of paste, and he tried pressing on it with his fingers. It felt warm to the touch


    as if it was freshly made.Frank was a little curious and asked uncertainly, “Do I spread this on my


    back?”Elspeth replied in a deadpan tone, “You can swallow it too. I’ll prepare the equipment for a


    gastricvage for you.”He realized that she was mocking him when he heard that and was a little


    annoyed as he huffed in reply, “Then, who’s going to help me put it on?”“Why are you looking at me? It


    won’t be me.”They were of a different gender. So, it would be weird. Besides, he had a temper on him,


    and she wasn’t foolish enough to be a willing subject to his ‘tender’ mercies.Suddenly, a thought


    popped into her mind as she smiled. “You could ask Spencer to help you. It could help you both to


    be closer.”Frank was so mad that his ears went red and rejected her hotly, “Over my dead


    body.”The nurse by the side couldn’t hold it back any longer. Her eyes were sparkling with admiration


    as she suggested, “Mr. Joneson, I could help you. I love putting on medicine for people.”When he


    stared at the chubbydy in front of him who was so eager yet shy, he turned his head and looked at


    Elspeth with a solemn face.“Call Spencer now!”Elspeth pressed her lips together, afraid she would


    laugh and hurt the nurse’s feelings.If sheughed, it would definitely cancel out all the good deeds she


    had done.Suddenly, Frank told her that he was thirsty and specified he wanted coffee from a particr


    ce. She knew that this was payback for being mean to him earlier, so she didn’t refuse him andThis is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    drove to get it.She also knew that he wanted her to leave since he was shy and didn’t want a girl


    watching him as someone thered the paste over his injury.Spencer had clearly rushed over,


    considering his timely appearance. To his immense amusement, Frank only needed him because


    Frank couldn’t spread the paste himself. So, he gave Frank a light punch as he chortled, “What? Am I


    the Joneson Family’s nanny now, Mr. Joneson?”Frank was still rather shocked by the nurse earlier. So,


    he wasn’t in a good mood and coldly ordered, “Stop fooling around and get to work.”Spencer lifted his


    shirt and lightly spread the paste onto his back.Without Elspeth there, he was a little distracted, causing


    his hand to slip and identally press on Frank’s wound.“Argh! Careful. It hurts! Are you doing that on


    purpose?”Spencer immediately came back to his senses as he shook his head apologetically. “I’m


    sorry. I didn’t mean it.”When Frank’s grimace had smoothened out, he continued to wonder, “Elspeth is


    such a two-faced woman. Why would anyone still want someone like her?”Spencer used some


    strength and once again pressed on Frank’s wound.Frank let out a howl this time, “What are you doing,


    Spencer?” “Oh.” Spencer was emotionless as his fingers turned gentle. “My hand slipped.”It was


    Frank’s fault for prodding right at his sore spot anyway.Frank kept hissing from the pain. That shut him


    up, and he stoppedmenting about Elspeth.After a while, she returned with coffee and saw that


    Spencer was done applying the paste. So, she asked how Frank felt.He closed his eyes as he focused


    on his injury. He felt that his back was cool due to the paste, but his wound still stung and itched too.


    “The pain is still there, but it’s eptable.”“If it hurts, that means the medicine is working. I added a


    medicinal herb for you. Even though it would hurt a little, it could get rid of that temper of yours and


    reduce your chances of experiencing any inmmation.” Elspeth smiled once she saw that Frank’s


    injury was healing just as she knew it would. “The wound on your back would be partially healed within


    a few days. Remember to avoiding in contact with water.”Spencer, who was standing by the side,


    saw that she was nning to leave and asked hesitantly. “Elspeth, we talked about the sickness of that


    friend of mine. Do you have time now?”Only then did she recall his request. “Oh, you’re talking about


    that person with heliophobia?”“Yes. I told her that I would look for someone to help treat her. She was


    delighted.” Spencer tried to make his request as discreet as possible, hoping that she would take a look


    at his friend.Elspeth nodded. “Sure. No problem. We can go now.”A glint of joy shone in Spencer’s


    eyes. “Great. I’ll send you there.”Then, they bid Frank goodbye, left the hospital, and got in Spencer’s


    car to a colonial-style home in the suburbs.The whole house screamed fancy, and Elspeth felt rather


    oppressed as sheid her gaze on the heavily ornamental wooden furniture.Soon, a middle-aged


    couple greeted them as they entered the living room.“You should be Miss Lynwood. Spencer


    mentioned you. You’re as young and beautiful as I expected!” The man of the couple looked at


    Elspeth’s face as a glimmer of darkness shed across his eyes.“Thank you, Mr. Fowler. Where’s the


    patient?”Elspeth was a little peeved at his strange gaze and wanted to leave the moment she was done


    with her diagnosis.“Allow me.”The woman led Elspeth and Spencer to exit the living room toward the


    backyard and entered a small courtyard that was sealed tightly.Elspeth couldn’t help but frown at the


    darkness as she entered the room.“We have no choice. Tina’s afraid of the light.” The woman noticed


    Elspeth’s difort and smiled apologetically.On the other hand, Spencer seemed fine, as he could


    move around freely.The three entered the room at the very back. As Elspeth noticed the girl’s silhouette


    curled up on the bed, her mind was miles away as she slowly stepped forward.The girl heard the door


    creak and looked up but shrank back timidly when she was met with an unfamiliar face.“Don’t be


    scared, Tina. This is Elspeth. I’ve told you about her before.” Spencer patientlyforted her while


    giving Elspeth a look.Elspeth immediately got his hint and smiled. “Hi, Miss Fowler. I’m here to help.


    But first, may I give you a checkup?”Tina shook her head. “I’m fine. You don’t need to check


    me.”Elspeth wasn’t fazed by her rejection and tried to persuade her, “It doesn’t matter. No matter what,


    it doesn’t hurt to decideter what you want to do after I’ve taken a look at you.”Then, she looked at


    Mrs. Fowler and Spencer, who were standing behind her, and requested for them to leave. “Could you


    both leave the room for a minute? I’ll call out for you if I need some help.”Spencer nodded and walked


    out with a hesitant Mrs. Fowler.Once both of them had departed from the room, Elspeth turned back to


    the girl with a solemn look on her face.“Tell me the truth, Miss Fowler. What exactly is going on here?”
