Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me?

Chapter 47 Saving a Person’s Life

Elspeth disregarded the woman’s chatter as she walked to the sick woman and prepared to perform first

aid when someone tugged on her arm again.

The woman’s friend bellowed, “Hey, don’t you understand what I’m saying?! Stop messing around! You’ll

be held accountable if you can’t save her!”

Elspeth glared at her coldly. Her fearsome glare frightened the woman, who immediately released her.

“Okay, you can hold me accountable, but if you stop me again and her condition deteriorates, you’ll be

held accountable.”

The woman was shocked by her remarks and hastily retracted her hands.

Elspeth squatted down and checked the woman’s condition carefully. After she realized that the woman’s

condition wasn’t serious, she took out a pill from her pocket and stuffed it into the woman’s mouth.

“Hey!” Her friend shrieked. “What did you feed her?”

Elspeth had had enough. She turned around and threatened, “This is a hospital. If you scream at me

again, I’ll ask the security guards to kick you out!”

The woman shrank away sheepishly. “I-I didn’t mean it. Who knows what you fed her? You would kill her

if the pill didn’t work.”

Elspeth couldn’t be bothered by her. So, she turned back to check on the patient. For some reason, the

patient began to pant even more, and her body trembled violently as if she had some kind of reaction to

the medicine.

“Look at what you’ve done! She gets worse! What an ignorant brat! You kill her, do you know that?!”

The friend finally felt confident to curse Elspeth now. I knew that this brat was unreliable from the

beginning! I made the right choice by yelling at her!

“Come and save my friend! This girl is killing her!” she wailed, worsening the situation.

A cold gleam flashed across Elspeth’s eyes. “It’s too early to tell.”

At this moment, the patient suddenly stopped breathing rapidly and slowly opened her eyes with a

puzzled look, not knowing what had happened.

“You’re fine now. Please control your emotions and always bring your asthma medicine with you. You

won’t be so lucky to bump into me next time.” Elspeth stood up and gave her some advice.

The crowd began to applaud and exclaim in awe when they witnessed how Elspeth had saved the

woman with just a tiny pill.

“Wow, she’s amazing! So she’s much better than my grandkid, who plays games all day long!”

“Yes! All doctors must be like this. I wonder if she’s a doctor here.”

“No way! She’s too young to be a doctor. I think she’s still in high school…”

Everyone looked at her in admiration and then looked in askance at the woman who was making a fuss

earlier. “What a shameful woman!”

The woman knew that she had embarrassed herself and hastily got up from the ground.

As more people gathered around them, Elspeth waved them off. “Alright, nothing to see here. Please

leave.”

The crowd gradually dispersed, leaving only Elspeth and the three women.

The patient with asthma was a little embarrassed. “Thank you. If it hadn’t been for you, I might have

died.”

Elspeth waved her hand. “You don’t have to thank me. Instead, you should thank her.” She pointed to the

elegant woman.

“Her?!” The patient’s eyes widened.

“Yes. I knew her, and it was because of her that I helped you.” You gave me flowers, and I helped you

this time. We’re even.

Then, Elspeth checked her watch and said, “It’s getting late. I need to go now.” With that, she turned and

rushed toward the hospital ward.

The elegant woman quietly shed tears as she watched her leave, but Elspeth couldn’t see her tears.

Callum was in the ward dealing with documents when she came in. “The doctor said that I am almost

healed, so I can be discharged in a while.”

“Wonderful.” She nodded absent-mindedly.

He noticed Elspeth as she was in a trance and went to the heart of the matter. “You’re thinking about the

fire, aren’t you?”

“Yeah. I haven’t been thinking about it for the past few years. Now that it suddenly came to my mind, I felt

that it was rather strange.”

“Your feeling is justifiable,” Callum said in a cold voice. “The building’s prevention and control measures

are in place, and there are people to check the situation daily. There is no possibility of a fire. The fire

first started on the first floor, which is a shopping mall. Maybe someone lit the fire when no one was

looking.”

At the thought of this, Elspeth narrowed her eyes slightly. “W-Was it Houston?”

“I’ve been checking the surveillance videos of the first floor and spotted him in those quiet corners.” He

opened his laptop and showed the video to her.

“Huh! He’s throwing the helve after the hatchet.” She snorted. “I’ll make him lie in the bed he had made!”

He was discharged from the hospital at noon and returned to the company. She went to the rooftop and

called Harper, “Where are you?”

“What’s the matter, Miss Lynwood?” The noisy background echoed from the other end of the line when

Harper answered the call.

“Are you at the bar picking up girls again?” She raised an eyebrow.

He chuckled. “Bingo.”

“Okay, I have an assignment for you.” At the thought of Houston’s malicious actions, she lowered her

voice and said, “I want you to get rid of someone.”

“Who?”

“Houston Bishop. He set fire to the company. You know what to do.”

Harper immediately answered, “Alright! I’ll make sure he reaps what he sows.”

Elspeth ended the call and returned to her office.

As soon as she sat down, her colleague, Abbie, came to her seat with a phone and giggled, “Elspeth,

you’re in the news!”

“What news?” Elspeth was confused.

Abbie clicked on a webpage and showed her screen to her. “Look! A stranger saved an asthma patient in

front of the hospital, and she didn’t tell anyone her name. Even though we couldn’t see your face in the

photo, I knew at first glance that this woman was you!”

Those who knew Elspeth could immediately recognize her signature wavy chestnut-colored long hair.

Not just Abbie; even the netizens had also recognized Elspeth in the photo.

‘Isn’t this Elspeth? My idol!’

‘She’s so beautiful and kind! But, more importantly, she seems to know everything!’

‘Oh my, can I marry her, please?’

‘In your dreams!’

…

Elspeth couldn’t tell how she felt about the news. Then, all of a sudden, in the corner of the photo, she

spotted the elegant woman standing not far away from her and looking in her direction. She couldn’t see

the woman’s expression clearly, yet she could feel a hint of tenderness from her.

“Elspeth? Elspeth!” Abbie waved her hand in front of Elspeth’s face to regain her attention.

“Yes? I’m fine.” Elspeth shook her head and showed a faint smile.

Abbie breathed a sigh of relief. “Thank goodness. By the way, I heard that someone from the TV station

will come to interview you in the afternoon, but…”
