Hiding Behind Her Superficiality by Kyla Olson

A sign of life… Doesn’t that mean that Emma is still alive? Elspeth lowered the cup in her hand, and Yelena started shouting before Elspeth could say anything. “Why is this woman so resilient?”

“Alright. Stop with that nonsense.” Elspeth chuckled as she hit Yelena’s head. Max, who was more clear-headed, knitted his brows together while questioning her. “What should we do, then?”

“We don’t have a choice. She’s just really lucky to be alive. However, the fire was really huge, and there was an explosion as well, so I’m sure she will end up being in a coma even if she survives,” Elspeth replied. In other words, it was unlikely for Emma to be able to do much to them. Upon finishing her words, Elspeth exchanged glances with Callum before they gave each other a subtle nod.

Yelena still seemed rather confused, and she cautiously questioned the two of them when she noticed that they seemed to have a plan of their own. “Did you guys come up with some idea?” she asked.

“We’re planning to head to the hospital to pay her a visit,” Elspeth replied. “Why would you want to visit her after what she did to you?” Yelena lost her cool immediately after hearing Elspeth’s words. I don’t get it! Why can’t we seem to get rid of Emma?

“We’re going to visit her at the hospital precisely because she’s being so stubborn about staying alive.” Elspeth started to head upstairs after she finished her words. Yelena finally responded with a half-hearted nod. “Fine. But if you guys are going, then I want to come along as well.” Yelena figured that she could just give Emma a huge slap if Emma tried anything again. How dare she bully Elspeth?

Elspeth already had one foot on the step of the stairs, and she turned around to give Yelena a rather exasperated glance. All of a sudden, Elspeth seemed to recall something. “Max mentioned that you have another press conference in the afternoon, right? You don’t have to join us for this!” Elspeth uttered.

shut the door behind her. “Oh, oh no… I nearly forgot about this. I’m so glad that Elspeth brought it up. I have to leave, everyone!” Before Max had a chance to respond to Yelena’s words, Yelena had already sprinted out. However, she returned to Max just a few minutes later
