Hiding Behind Her Superficiality by Kyla Olson

Chapter 100

Sonny didn’t answer her. Instead, he wiped away his tears and left sobbing.

“Don’t freak out, Callum. That’s just how he is.” Elspeth turned around and gave Callum an apologetic smile.

“It’s fine. Mr. Schwartz… has got quite a cute character.”

After all, Sonny was his mother’s savior. Therefore, even though such behavior of Sonny was puzzling. Callum couldn’t possibly make negative remarks about him.

“Alright. We will stay by Mrs. Winthrop’s side tonight and wait for her to wake up. It’s the last day, so we must not let anything else happen to her.”

At that, Callum nodded and said, “Okay.”

Nonetheless, they were fortunate, for no one came to harass them again this evening.

The next morning, Callum, asleep, suddenly felt a slight disturbance coming from his palm.

And since Callum had always been a light sleeper, he instantly woke up and stared at the warm hand in his palm. Then, his gaze trailed upward, and he saw Margot, who had been in a comatose state all the time, slightly curling up and gently moving her fingers in his hand.

Even so, Margot still had yet to open her eyes.

Elspeth, too, sensed Callum’s movements and woke up after him.

When she saw Margot’s fingers move rhythmically, Elspeth showed a surprised expression. “It looks like Mrs. Winthrop is about to wake up soon.”

As soon as she said that, Margot’s eyes trembled hard before she gradually opened them.

“I” Margot wanted to speak but couldn’t as her throat felt extremely sore. At this moment, she, who hadn’t drunk water for days, was like a water-deficit plant that might wither to death at any time. “Water…”

Elspeth immediately poured her a glass of water and gave it to her. “Mrs. Winthrop, how are you feeling now? Are you alright?”
