Sweetheart Do You Still Love Me Chapter 219
“I found the girl. She told me this is the ce where you kidnapped Elspeth and asked me to rescue
Elspeth as soon as possible.” Callum was eyeing Jordan coldly, and his gaze could give the onlookers
shivers. “Even the person you cherish wants you to stop making mistakes. Don’t you
understand?” “She is a kind girl, and her kindness is the most precious thing in the world. However,
some people have to take advantage of her kindness for selfish purposes.” When Jordan was done, he
turned to Callum, returning a cold gaze with the same intensity.Angie fixed her gaze on Jordan as tears
welled up in her eyes. “Jordan, I know you’re doing this for me, but you went a little overboard.”“There’s
no need to say anything. Soon, you’ll live a life like normal people.” Even though he demanded her
silence, he was still watching her with affection.“But I mean every word. All you’re doing is hurting me
and upsetting me. Even if I can live a normal life in the future, I’m living in constant guilt.”Jordan’s smile
froze on his face.“You need to stop, Jordan. All I need is yourpany for the rest of my life.”Saying
too many words in one go for the first time resulted in her going limp and falling to her knees with a
thump. Even though the pain from her knees made her frown, sincerity remained on her expression.He
watched her with aplex expression including disappointment, knowing the tables had turned. He
could no longer make his ne true.“I can save her.”Elspeth, who had been keeping quiet most of
the time, chimed in all of a sudden. Her gaze that met his was burning with a hint of blinding
determination.Jordan’s eyes immediately brightened with the glint of hope. “Did you just say you can
save her? You aren’t lying to me, are you?”She forced a smile. “I have excelled in my skills as Sonny
Schwartz’s student. I’ll try my best to save her. As long as you get me the ingredients I need, I can save
her life.”Jordan’s voice was shaky. “Of course.”He almost forgot that Elspeth was an apprentice to
Sonny, the medical expert.Letting go of Elspeth, Jordan took a few steps forward as he tried to help
Angie back on her feet. However, Callum’s men stopped him in his tracks by pinning his arms.Angie
forced herself to her feet without any help. The next moment, Callum felt a tug on his sleeve. “Mr.
Winthrop, please spare him. I told you where Elspeth was, didn’t I?”Callum pressed his lips into a thin
line as he weighed his decision. When he met Elspeth’s approving look, he finally nodded. “Fine. I’ll let
him go.”At the sight of the men loosening Jordan’s arms, Angie jumped at him and wrapped her arms
around him tightly.“Jordan.”He caressed her hair to ease her worries. “It’s okay. I’m here with you.”The
pair took their time in each other’s embrace. Jordan only remembered to free Elspeth from the
shackles when Callum showed a displeased expression on his face.She was so weak that Callum
strode over to help her to her feet.“You promise to save Angie. Remember to keep your word. ”Elspeth
rolled her eyes at Jordan’s demand. “I did, but not now. I’ve been locked up for seven days. Can I have
a break?”He could only reply with a dryugh in embarrassment.“I need a rest. Just a while. Once I rest
up, I’ll help her.”Angie cast a grateful smile at the other woman and nodded. “There’s no need to rush,
Elspeth. Take your time.”Watching Angie’s pale face, Elspeth caressed the young woman’s head. “I
assure you, I’m a lot smarter than Jordan.”Jordan’s expression changed a few times. He tried to retort,
but he just couldn’t find the right words.Angie didn’t bother to stifle herugh. “You’re the first person to
tell him that. You’re an interesting woman, you know. No wonder even a distant man like Mr. Winthrop
would fall for you. I would have fallen hard for you too if I was a guy.” Jordan had a faint smile on his
face. “I won’t. A girl like her is too calcting. I like girls like you, obedient and innocent.”Callum
tightened his arm around Elspeth. He cast Jordan a side nce full of warning. “Coming from a guy
who didn’t even leave a good impression on her after half a year. She doesn’t need you to like
her.”Jordan was usually a man who could keep hisposure even if it was the world’s end. However,
he gritted his teeth when he heard Callum’seback. “Callum, must you speak just to make me feel
bad?”“I’m being a gentleman.”“By roasting me?”Callum’s eyes darted to Angie, who looked pure and
unsophisticated, before remarking snidely, “You started it. I’m not gonna take it out on the innocent
girl.”Jordan rubbed the tip of his nose in embarrassment. “Forget about it. Pretend I didn’t say
anything.”“Very well. I’m taking Elspeth home to rest.” After Callum announced, he tried to drag Elspeth
away.Before the pair could make it far, Jordan blocked their path. Staring straight into Elspeth’s eyes,
he asked, “What are the things you need? I’ll get them ready.”“A thousand-year-old ginseng, a
saussurea that ages tenfold, and the pure spring water from the mountain with an elevation of 19685
feet above sea level.”Jordan’s face almost scrunched at her list.Noticing his helpless expression, she
couldn’t help but chuckle. “Just kidding. I’ll get everything covered.”She realized there were indeedMaterial ? N?velDrama.Org.
advantages in finding herself a godfather in the underground ck market.As a rough idea was formed
in her mind, she wanted to leave the ce as soon as possible.“I’m leaving. I’ll inform you once I get
the medicinal herbs ready.”Jordan was unhappy, but he was in no ce toin. “Okay. I won’t
keep you.”His dejected look gave Angie a goodugh for the first time since she fell sick.After Elspeth
bid farewell to the pair, she departed with Callum and returned to their vi in ydal.The moment she
walked into the house, she was pulled into a tight embrace.Callum rested his head on her shoulder as
he stood still like a statue.“I was scared.” His words were soft.“The first few days when I couldn’t get a
hold of you, I almost turned ydal upside down to search for you everywhere. It was onlyter that I
pinned down Jordan as the target.”“I couldn’t get a good rest through the nights. I was afraid that any
dy would put you at risk.”“It was the first time you disappeared for so long. I was really scared of
never seeing you again.”“Thank God I arrived in time to save you. Elspeth, for the first time, I’m proud
of myself. I wasn’t even this happy when I expanded Winthrop Group’s business and made it thrive.”He
spoke very clearly, and every word drilled into her mind.“Oh, Callum.” She put a hand on the back of
his head and gave him a soothing pat. His hair was soft under her palm. “I know you have been trying
your best to love me.”Callum raised his head. It was Elspeth’s first time to see him shed tears. Even
though his expression remained as calm as ever, she was still shocked to find dampness on her
shoulder.“Callum, are you crying?”He averted her gaze and denied it, “I am not.”“You could have fooled
me if you didn’t wet my clothes.”Elspeth didn’t expect him to cry after everything as his character was
made up of coldness and detachment. It made sense that he was expressionless all the time. She
could never imagine the situation that would make an adult Callum cry aside from his wailing when he
was born.“I’m scared.”The lingering fear still clung to him as she was almost gone. He had witnessed
how the tip of the syringe almost sank into her arm. At that moment, he was engulfed in the fear of
losing her.“Callum.” She took a deep breath before suggesting, “Let’s get engaged.”
