Hiding Behind Her Superficiality by Kyla Olson

Chapter 176

Elspeth ran out of the room with her heart pounding wildly against her chest. She only calmed down after taking a few deep breaths.

Then, she held the other bottle of ginkgo medicine as she strode to the garage and got into the car toward the hospital.

In the hospital, Frank was sitting on the bed watching an esports competition. He seemed to be in good spirits.

“Frank, the medicine is ready.” She threw the small bottle of medicine at him without a single hint of warning.

“It’s such a tiny bottle. Is that enough?”

Looking at the silver ceramic bottle, Frank was filled with doubt as he looked at the teeny silver ceramic bottle.

It’s only the length of my finger. I can probably use it once.

“Open it, and you’ll see.”

Elspeth didn’t bother to explain and only told him to see for himself.

Frank opened up the bottle as a pleasant fragrance swept over his face. It was light but fragrant with the unique smell of ginkgo.

Inside the bottle was some sort of paste, and he tried pressing on it with his fingers. It felt warm to the touch as if it was freshly made.

Frank was a little curious and asked uncertainly, “Do I spread this on my back?”

Elspeth replied in a deadpan tone, “You can swallow it too. I’ll prepare the equipment for a gastric lavage for you.”

He realized that she was mocking him when he heard that and was a little annoyed as he huffed in reply, “Then, who’s going to help me put it on?”

“Why are you looking at me? It won’t be me.”

They were of a different gender. So, it would be weird. Besides, he had a temper on him, and she wasn’t foolish enough to be a willing subject to his ‘tender’ mercies.

Suddenly, a thought popped into her mind as she smiled. “You could ask Spencer to help you. It could help you both to become closer.”
