Hiding Behind Her Superficiality by Kyla Olson

Elspeth learned more about the patient’s symptoms and spoke with him briefly.

After they exchanged a few words, the patient was identified as Joseph Canfield, the wealthiest man in the city of Waterside!

That was why he was so kind as to give her a hundred thousand Universes all at once.

Elspeth was knowledgeable and generous, making Moriah appear less attractive in comparison.

Although Elspeth was dressed in a hospital gown, she outperformed Moriah.

Moriah was becoming envious. Even though she knew that Joseph was Waterside’s wealthiest man, she believed he was dying and that pleasing him was futile. As a result, she had been treating his case coldly.

She never expected him to be cured. What was more, she indirectly gave Elspeth the chance to connect with him.

Moriah couldn’t take it any longer and took a step forward with a flattering look. “Are you in good health, Mr. Canfield?”

“I’m much better thanks to the hospital’s treatment,” Joseph replied coldly, remembering the woman who caused him trouble when he was sick.

It was obvious that what he said was sarcasm. Elspeth giggled and covered her mouth while Moriah’s face became thunderous, which did not look good on her.

“So, Moriah, if you have nothing better to do, you should check on the other rooms. Isn’t it your job to make rounds?”

With a gentle face, Elspeth showed Moriah a way out.

Moriah snorted and turned to leave, knowing she couldn’t gain anything from Joseph.

“Moriah is too proud and arrogant. No wonder she has been just a ward-round doctor for so long.”

Even Joseph couldn’t take it any longer and uttered hurtful words.

Elspeth was overjoyed to hear this and wished Moriah could hear that before leaving. “Everything is fine. If you leave all of your medical care to me, you don’t have to worry about anything.”

He liked her even more. “What a sweetie you are. This is my business card. Please get in touch with me if you are available. By the way, do you have a boyfriend?”

Elspeth laughed as she looked at Callum. “I do have a boyfriend.”

Only then did Joseph notice Callum off to the side. Joseph smiled awkwardly. “I assumed you were single and wanted to introduce you to my proud grandson. That’s all right. You young people should lead your own lives.”
