Hiding Behind Her Superficiality by Kyla Olson

This matter had been left unmentioned for a long time. In fact, Michael had always tried to hide it. Back then, he thought of a way to send Callum’s uncle to prison, and then because it was a family scandal and could not be publicized, he hid the matter away, so much so that the younger generation did not know about this matter at all. At the mention of it again, Michael felt his heart seizing up fiercely.

Looking at Michael who was in obvious pain, Jordan knew that it was inappropriate to talk more about it. He then casually spoke a few more words and left.

In the next few days, whenever Michael met Elspeth, he told her about how good Jordan was. Elspeth naturally did not want to talk to him about this, so she simply stayed in the hospital to take care of Frank.

At this moment, she was lying on the hospital bed, eating melon seeds and playing games in a leisurely manner. Frank was dumbfounded as he said, “Elspeth, do you ever take my feelings into consideration?”

Elspeth had her headphones on while playing the game, so she did not hear anything. Frank became annoyed and took off her headphones. “Elspeth, respect me a little, okay?”

Elspeth finally heard Frank’s accusation, but her eyes still did not leave her phone screen as she casually replied, “How am I disrespecting you? I rushed over here just to take care of you.”

“And then you’re the one lying in bed right now; what about me?” Frank’s voice carried a hint of indignation.

Elspeth took advantage of the momentary cooldown after taking five kills to look at Frank, only to see him wearing a hospital gown and holding an IV drip in his hand with a sulk. On the contrary, Elspeth was lying on the bed that belonged to Frank in a leisurely way…

“Sorry, I was too used to lying down when playing the game.” Elspeth smiled awkwardly and jumped down from the bed.

Frank began to nag, “I just went to the bathroom for a moment and you were already lying in my bed. Who’s taking care of who?”

Elspeth felt a headache when listening to him. “Well, I was just lying down for a bit. Don’t be so petty.”

Frank chuckled, the annoyance in his eyes clearly obvious. “Heh.”

As the two bantered with each other, a figure in white soon walked in.

Looking at the grinning Jordan, Elspeth thought that she had to face what would come head-on no matter what.
