Hiding Behind Her Superficiality by Kyla Olson

Chapter 429 Be My Apprentice

Elspeth was determined to find Callum and ask him directly.

Suddenly, Haris' expression changed dramatically. "You can't go out," he said.

"Why can't I go out?" she asked.

"That Winthrop kid is going to marry Jasmine soon. If you go out, it's likely to ruin the wedding," he said.

Hearing that, she clenched her fists quietly. "What if I try to leave?"

"If you leave, there are only two possibilities. One, you will be treated coldly by that Winthrop kid and then escorted back here. The other possibility is that you will die outside from an illness. Miss, I've examined your body. I'm afraid you don't have much time left," he said.

On the other hand, Elspeth had been experiencing chest pain and shortness of breath for the past few days, and she knew her condition was deteriorating daily. So, she had thought of indulging in some happy activities during her final days. However, she never thought she would be taken there.

"No matter whether or not he despises me, I still want to ask him." She made up her mind in her heart. If Callum asks me to leave, I will do so without remorse.

"That Winthrop kid has spent a lot of effort to ask me to cure you, and if you mess it up by going out now, he will be distraught." Following that, Haris rubbed his beard, his smile tinged with remorse. "Although this exchange of interests is not very ethical, Jasmine is very fond of Callum, so I had no choice."

He knew she was considering what he said, so he stepped forward to pat her on the shoulder. "Miss, I know this is quite unfair to you, but she's my precious granddaughter. My wish is for her to be happy. Nevertheless, the bright side is that I will do everything I can to treat your illness."
