Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me?

Moriah had never been humiliated to this extent. Thus, she was instantly irritated.

“But, doctor, he just humiliated me!”

Instead of siding with her, the hospital director looked at her furious appearance and sneered, “Do you

know who he is? He’s the millionaire of Waterside. Are you sure you can afford to offend him?”

Parting her lips, Moriah stuttered, “I…”

“If you want a way out, you better take the opportunity and apologize to him as soon as possible. If they

give up on you eventually, I’m afraid I won’t even be able to help you!” The hospital director’s words

sounded like a warning to her.

“Okay. I-I understand.”

After leaving the director’s office, Moriah tightened her fists and pondered for some time before

entering Room 360.

She bumped into Elspeth once again.

Looking at Moriah’s ashen face, Elspeth wondered what happened to the woman, but she found it

amusing to see her defeated look.

“Mr. Canfield, I… I’m here to apologize to you. I know I’ve caused you a lot of trouble, but I hope you

can forgive me for my previous acts.”

Moriah looked pitiful as she hung her head.

Joseph Canfield wasn’t considered a harsh person. Seeing the look on her face, he decided not to pick

on her anymore even though he had no intentions of being on good terms with her. “It’s alright. I don’t

want to make things difficult for a young lady anyway. You may leave if there is nothing else.”

It was obvious that he was trying to kick her out.

Even though Moriah wasn’t satisfied with that, she didn’t want to stay any longer upon seeing Elspeth’s

delighted appearance.

Eventually, she left.

Once Moriah left, Elspeth looked at Joseph and asked, “What did you do?”

Moriah didn’t seem like one to apologize willingly, so Joseph would surely have done something behind

her back to make her do so.

Joseph had no intention of hiding it from her, so he shared the whole incident with her.

Elspeth broke out in laughter after hearing that.

“You think it’s funny too, El?”

She shook her head. “I just think you still have that evil trait in you despite already being at this age.”

His face flushed in an instant. “Seriously? I thought it was just a tiny punishment. I wasn’t trying to pick

on her or anything.”

Even though Elspeth wasn’t saying something serious, Joseph was quite flustered at the sight of her

calm appearance as she sipped tea.

“Don’t worry. You need to teach her a lesson so that she doesn’t repeat her mistakes.”

Elspeth’s words were like a hint to Joseph.

“Got it. You’re trying to say I can bully her as much as I want, aren’t you?”

She went silent. Since when was I trying to say that? “But based on my knowledge of her, Moriah tends

to pull tiny tricks. Whether it is targeted at you or me, we should be wary of her. We shouldn’t let our

guards down.”

Joseph nodded. “Don’t worry. Her little tricks won’t be able to fool me.”

“Great, then. Hurry up and take your medicine.”

Elspeth had spent hours brewing the medicine. He couldn’t just let it go to waste.

Grabbing the bowl, he could already feel the bitterness spread in his mouth. “Can I not take it? I don’t

think I can swallow it anymore.”

“Of course not. Bitter medicine facilitates healing. Just listen to me and drink it.”

With a crinkled face, Joseph countered, “I can’t take bitter food.”

“No pain, no gain.”

“Why do your words actually make sense, huh?” Joseph complained.

“Well, the medicine was not supposed to be bitter. I could’ve made it sweet but was worried that you

might be unable to take it, so I made a bitter version.”

He was instantly dumbfounded. “Then, why didn’t you make me the sweet version?!”

Joseph acted like a stubborn little kid right now.

The corners of Elspeth’s lips twitched. “When I gave you a body checkup, I discovered you had two

cavities.”

Joseph was speechless this time.

“Alright. Take your medicine. I’m leaving now.”

Afraid that he might complain even more, she quickly fled the scene.

Once she returned to her ward, she noticed Callum packing his stuff. As she observed his skinny

silhouette, Elspeth pounced on him and hugged him from behind.

“Did you miss me, Callum?”

As an anti-romantic, Callum responded, “You were just out for an hour. It’s not like you’ve been away

for days. Why would I miss you?”

Elspeth pouted as she was unable to accept his answer.

“I was missing you while I chatted with Mr. Canfield.”

“What do you miss about me?” As if she recalled something, Elspeth’s expression contorted. “Wait.

There’s something I have to tell you.”

Callum became serious all of a sudden. “What is it?”

“Do you know Moriah? She apologized to Mr. Canfield this morning. At first, I found it absurd, but he

told me he gifted the hospital a banner with the words ‘Why Is Moriah Not Retired Yet?’ written on it.”

He smiled at that. “Mr. Canfield is quite a dandy.”

“But when Moriah left eventually, the look in her eyes was really scary. She must be plotting

something.”

Whenever Elspeth had a strong sense of urgency, it definitely wasn’t without reason.

In the afternoon, she woke up from her sleep and realized that the room was too cold for her to sleep.

Looking back at Callum, who was dozing off with his head propped up on the sofa, she thought he

must be made of ice. How could he even fall asleep in such a cold room?!

She thought it wasn’t done by accident.

Getting off the bed, she went to wake Callum. “Callum, the heater seems to have broken down.”

Callum raised his eyelids and revealed his sober gaze. It seemed like he didn’t fall asleep.

“I don’t think it broke down. Someone must have deliberately turned it off.”

Without even having to mention the name, the two were able to guess who they were.

He looked at Elspeth’s face and ruffled her hair. “Wait here. I’ll go and see the hospital director.”

Elspeth held his hand tightly and offered, “I’ll go with you.”

And so, Callum had no choice but to take Elspeth along to see the hospital director.

The hospital director was one to keep up with the news, so he knew Callum was the new heir of the

Winthrop Family. Hence, he spoke to the man politely. “May I know what brings you here?”

Callum’s tone was cold when he asked, “May I know who is in charge of the heater in the wards?”

“Erm… It has always been Moriah in charge. What’s wrong? Did something happen to the heater in the

ward?”

Elspeth nodded. “Yes. The heater in our room isn’t turned on at all.”

The director was shocked to hear that and realized it must be Moriah’s trick. “It must be an accident.

Would you like to return to the ward again and check on it? Perhaps they’re fixing the heater…”
