Hiding Behind Her Superficiality by Kyla Olson

Chapter 111

Callum felt sorry when he saw Elspeth grimacing and covered in a cold sweat in his arms. He brought her to the hospital to treat her wound. When her injury was bandaged, he lifted her into the bed. “Elspeth, are you okay?”

Her focus was solely on Blake. The dagger was sharp and also dark in color, indicating a high possibility that it was poisoned.

Having sustained a stab wound, Blake could very well be fighting for his life right now.

“Bring me to see Blake. Right away.”

“Why are you still harping about him at this time?” Callum was perplexed by her fixation on Blake the second she regained consciousness. Was it because Blake took the stab for her?

She sounded anxious. “Something will happen to Blake. Bring me to him now.”

“I’ve gotten him the best doctor, so don’t worry. He’ll be fine. Your only task right now is to focus on your recovery. Forget about everything else.”

On one hand, he felt a little envious and wanted to keep Elspeth from giving Blake too much attention. On the other hand, she sustained injuries, some major and some minor, across her body. Seeing that she was in a weak condition, he did not want anything happening to her.

“Okay, I will stay put. You should get someone to keep an eye on him, then. If anything happens, please let me know right away,” she pleaded as she stared at his face.

“Sure. And you should get a good rest now.” Suddenly, something popped up in Callum’s mind, and he questioned, “How did Blake know about your emergency before I did?”

Blake had been busy with filming and did not have time to visit Elspeth in the past two days. Callum wondered how his brother got hold of the news faster than himself, who dedicated time to investigation and monitoring.
