Hiding Behind Her Superficiality by Kyla Olson

Chapter 71 Fake Information

“Hey, where are you going? I’m your boyfriend. Shouldn’t you be accompanying me?” Arthur was unwilling to let her slip away, so he grabbed her wrist and whispered in her ear.

Elspeth felt an inexplicable sense of discomfort when he touched her, so she struggled to get away but failed. “Arthur, you know that I don’t like you, and why I chose to be with you.”

Unable to break free, she stared coldly at him.

“I know. That’s why I’m trying to win your heart.” He leaned into her ear and chuckled. “Elspeth, don’t try to anger me. Otherwise, even I don’t know what I might do to you.”

She looked at the madman before her. “What happened to you, Arthur? When did you become so extreme?”

He looked at her disbelievingly and smiled. “Have you ever thought of the possibility that this is the real me?”

Stunned, Elspeth could not figure out what caused a young man who grew up in a happy family to become like this.

“Alright, then. Let’s not talk about this anymore. You didn’t hang with me last time, so you can’t reject me this time.” He took her hand and was about to bring her out when his phone suddenly rang.

He was called for emergency surgery because one of the patient’s conditions worsened and needed immediate surgery.

“Well, it seems like we can’t go out this time either,” Arthur exclaimed regretfully while Elspeth felt relieved.

“You should hurry up. Don’t keep the patient waiting.” A relaxed smile appeared on her face as she waved goodbye.

“Don’t get too excited, Elspeth. I can finish that small operation within two hours.”
