Hiding Behind Her Superficiality by Kyla Olson

Chapter 231

Such words weren’t convincing at all.

However, Elspeth did not dwell on it as she knew that the director was only trying to protect her employee.

Just as Elspeth was about to leave, Moriah walked right in. She was aware Elspeth was in the room but did not even look at her.

“I’m glad you’re here, Moriah. Why isn’t the heater in Miss Lynwood’s ward working?”

To that, Moriah casually answered, “Their heater overheated this afternoon and had to be turned off. I’m preparing to look for the technicians.”

The tense expression of the director eased slightly when she heard that.

“There you go. It’s just a misunderstanding.”

As Elspeth had no evidence to show otherwise, she nodded and went back to the ward with Callum.

After they returned, the temperature in the ward didn’t get any better. It had been more than three hours since they noticed the temperature change, but the situation had not improved.

Elspeth was afraid of the cold and began to tremble. As such, Callum had no other choice but to wrap her in a blanket.

“Moriah is indeed taking revenge and her target is me,” Elspeth said in frustration, her brows furrowed.

“I’ll look for the director again.”

Elspeth grabbed Callum’s wrist when he was about to leave. “It’s fine. It’s not that cold. Furthermore, the director won’t be able to resolve this no matter how many times you seek her out.”

What she said made sense, which was why Callum dropped the idea.

Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, his eyes shone as he said, “Give me a moment. I need to make a call.”

Then, he went outside.

After more than half an hour, Callum came back, accompanied by three to four men who were carrying a large rectangular-shaped item.
