“Elsie, do you really want to find your father?”
The question made Elspeth freeze.
She seemed to have gotten too excited without considering Helia’s feelings.
Mom might not even want to go through all that again.
Thinking of this, she reached out and touched the back of Helia’s hand. “Mom, we
won’t look for him if you don’t want to.”
Elspeth started feeling emotional when she saw the tears in Helia’s eyes.
“Let… let me think about it.”
Helia suddenly realized that she might have been a little selfish. Due to her personal
reasons, she was cruelly preventing Elspeth from seeing her biological father.
“Alright, Mom. Take your time. I will support you no matter your decision.”
Helia hummed and gloomily nodded in response.
However, she was relieved that her daughter and Callum were not blood-related. She
wouldn’t have to lose her perfect son-in-law that way.
“I won’t force you two to get a divorce anymore. Callum, dear, you must take good
care of her.”
Helia had a hopeful glint in her eyes.
“Don’t worry, Miss Joneson. You’ve trusted her with me, after all. I will protect her.”
Helia felt more at ease after hearing Callum’s promise.
All of a sudden, Elspeth, who was sitting there, received an emergency call from
Harper.
“Miss Elspeth! Something bad happened!”
Elspeth couldn’t help feeling alarmed. Only a handful of things could get Harper to
panic like this.
“What is it?”
passed out and had a high fever. The doctor said she has leukemia!”
Leukemia?!
Elspeth suddenly couldn’t breathe. “How is she doing now?”
“The doctor said she is in critical condition. She needs to get a bone marrow
transplant, but there is no suitable source abroad currently.”
Elspeth gritted her teeth as a wave of emotions washed over her. “What about
Damoria? Can you find a suitable one in Damoria?”
“I haven’t asked. I will ask around the hospitals in the country.”
“Hurry! We can’t waste even a minute!”
“Got it!”
After the call ended, Elspeth turned around and saw the equally dark expression on
Callum’s face.
“Yelena has leukemia?”
“I have never seen anything wrong with her. I don’t understand how she has leukemia
out of nowhere!”
“Don’t worry. She will be fine after a bone marrow transplant.”
Elspeth smiled wryly and nodded with a helpless look on her face. “I’m a doctor, so
how can I not know this? I’m just worried about how tormenting this disease can be. I
don’t know if she can push through it.”
“Don’t worry. You know how optimistic she is. There shouldn’t be any major problems.”
Still looking out of sorts, Elspeth insisted, “I’d better go abroad to see how she is
doing.”
Callum put his arms around her shoulders and offered softly, “I’ll go with you.”
Helia, who was at the side, looked at the anxious couple and she couldn’t help but
ask, “Who is Yelena?”
“Yelena is our friend. She is a lovely young lady.”
Helia’s heart broke when she heard that. “Be on your way, then. Make sure she is
safe,” she urged.
“Alright.” Elspeth nodded. “I’ll go book us tickets now. We’ll be leaving in a while.”
She suddenly remembered something. “Mom, will you be fine being here by
yourself?”
Helia waved as a sign for them not to worry about her. “It’s all good. I’ll be waiting at
home.”
“Please make yourself comfortable.” Callum’s voice grew solemn. “You can just tell
my parents that you are a friend of Elspeth’s mother when they get home. They will
welcome you with open arms.”
Not only would Helia not have to worry about revealing her identity if she said she was
a friend of Elspeth’s mother, but she could also stay here with peace of mind. They
would be killing two birds with one stone.
Helia only grew fonder of Callum after hearing his words. “Alright, I’ll do that.”
Not knowing how long this trip would take, Elspeth and Callum simply handed over
their work to the person in charge of the company. At that point, Elspeth suddenly
thought of someone.
