Chapter 436
Chapter 436 Getting Out of Here
Elspeth had been receiving treatment for more than ten days, and thest traces of poison had been
removed from her body. One day, she woke up feeling as good as she did before she got sick, which
meant that her treatment process had ended perfectly.
When Haris came to check on her, he noticed that she seemed excited and knew what that meant.
"Looks like you''re feeling better," he said.
At that moment, she happily shared the good news with Yelena, but when she heard a familiar voice
behind her, she turned around and smiled. "Yes, Mentor. I''m almostpletely healed now, and thanks
to your care."
"You''re calling me ''Mentor.'' Taking care of you is my duty, isn''t it?" He smiled while secretly feeling
pleased. It feels great to be called a Mentor.
"Oh, Mentor, you promised to let me out early after I recovered." The moment Elspeth made the
request, Haris'' face changed slightly. He had promised to do so, but it would be difficult to exin to
Jasmine if he really let her out.
"Elspeth, do you really need to leave so early?" He had thought there might be room for negotiation,
but her face instantly fell upon hearing that.
"A promise is a promise. You cannot go back on your word." She switched from appealing to reasoning.
Hearing that, he had no choice but to lower his voice. "You know that Jasmine is not easy to fool. She
has her peoplee to check on you every day. If I let you out, it will be difficult to exin to her."
"I don''t care. Mentor, you made a promise, and you can''t break it." Elspeth huffed and started to act
unreasonably.
On the other hand, Haris was at a loss, so he had to say, "Elspeth, why don''t you help me devise a
n that will allow you to leave without arousing suspicion?"
After hearing that, her eyes lit up, and she immediately devised a n. "How about this? You say my
treatment has progressed to a stage where my facial skin is decaying, and then you wrap a girl''s face
with gauze to make it look like me."
This is actually a good idea. Seeing the smile on her face, he knew that the n had to be executed.
Three dayster, Elspeth had Harper sneak in a girl who was simr in height and weight to herself
with simr-looking eyes. "Mentor, I''m handing her over to you. Take care of her for a few days. If I find
my mother in a few days, I''ll return if I can."
Although she said that, in her heart, she knew it would be harder to return once she left.
However, the girl they sneaked in was clearly a trained agent, with a calm and emotionless face as if
carrying out a mission was something she did daily.
Then, Haris looked at the girl''s icy face and knew that it would be a tough job. "Okay, okay, I got it. You
can go now."
Afterward, Elspeth said goodbye to him and instructed the girl before preparing to sneak out among the
crowd. However, her demeanor was quickly noticed by the guard at the gate, who had shed with her
before. "Hey! Who are you? Why haven''t I seen you before?"
He looked at her tightly wrapped head, masked face, and shifty gaze with suspicion.
"I''m here to deliver food," she deliberately made her voice raspy to sound gender-neutral.

"Take off your mask and let me see your face." He didn''t believe her and insisted on seeing her face.
Nevertheless, Elspeth didn''t want him to see her face, so she said, "There''s something on my face, and
I don''t want to scare you."
Soon, the guard got impatient and pulled off her face mask. "I want to see how it''s gonna scare— Ah!"
When the guard saw her face, he was so shocked that he threw away the mask in his hand.
"Your face is so ugly! You have so many pimples, and some even have pusing out. Gross! Hurry
up and leave. Don''t let me see you again!"
Seeing that, she forcefully suppressed her inner chuckles and had to put on a sad and mournful
expression. "Okay."
Then, she picked up her mask from the ground and slowly walked out, lowering her head. As soon as
she was out of sight, she removed the mask and headscarf, revealing her gorgeous locks, which
cascaded down her back like a waterfall. Later, she took a special potion from her pocket and applied it
to her face, instantly removing the pimples and pus.
Ten minutester, she found a spot where she had agreed to meet Harper. As she waited for him to
pick her up, a car arrived, but it wasn''t what Harper had promised. She became wary when she saw
the license te and was taken aback to see the man behind the wheel. "Howe you''re here,
Gilbert?"
It was Gilbert, and he was driving his high-profile Cayenne with a lively expression. "I''m here to pick
you up and tell you something on the way."
Nheless, he had a mysterious look on his face. "I''m not interested in anything except my mom''s
situation," Elspeth said. She sat in the seat tiredly, rubbing her sore eyes.
She even wore colored contact lenses to deal with the guard earlier. Moreover, she hated wearing them
as they caused her eyes to feel dry.
"Well then, what I''m about to tell you now is about your mom."
When she heard that, she suddenly felt invigorated. "What do you know? Quickly tell me."
Gilbert never joked around, so if he said something, it must be true. Elspeth felt hopeful that he had
information about her mother''s whereabouts.
"A couple of days ago, I met Isabel at a bar, and she told me where Miss Joneson is," he said.
Hearing that, she almost jumped out of her seat. "Where''s my mom? Tell me!"
"Miss Joneson is in the Damoria sanatorium. Isabel says your mom is not doing well and needs
treatment as soon as possible."
Although she was aware of her mother''s worsening condition, she still looked worried. "Can you take
me there now?"
Then, Gilbert turned the key and stepped on the gas pedal. "Why else would Ie here if not to take
you there?"
Suddenly, his words made Elspeth''s eyes light up. "Okay!"
