Hiding Behind Her Superficiality by Kyla Olson

Chapter 536 An Abortion

Elspeth hesitated for a while longer before she eventually went to the hospital. The baby in her belly seemed to know what its fate was—she thought she felt it moving around inside her. Elspeth couldn’t help but chuckle at herself. The child is just one month old, and it has barely formed. How could it possibly move? This is all in my head, she thought.

“You’re here, Elspeth.” A familiar voice came from behind her. She turned around to find herself staring at Arthur’s face. This guy seems to be everywhere! Arthur’s gaze softened when he noticed the papers she was holding in her hand. “Are you here to abort your child?”

“That has got nothing to do with you.” Elspeth turned around as she felt the need to stop Arthur from staring at her belly.

“You should’ve listened to my advice and aborted the child from the start, Elspeth… But I guess it’s good that you’ve decided to do it today. I’ll arrange for the best doctors to be on duty, and I’ll make sure that everything goes smoothly…” Elspeth felt her hairs standing on end when she heard the rather loving tone in the man’s voice.

“I said it’s none of your business!” Elspeth frowned in disgust.

“It’s fine. I’ll go make the necessary arrangements.” Arthur walked off with a victorious smirk on his face. At that moment, Elspeth no longer had the motivation to complete her procedure in that hospital. She had been about to leave when she noticed a man standing at the entrance of the hospital. The man was tall and slender, and he wore a rather mysterious look on his face.

Elspeth didn’t know how to describe how she felt—there was a mixture of guilt and helplessness within her. Yet, she couldn’t seem to stop herself from walking in his direction. She took a deep breath after stopping in front of him. “What brings you here?” she asked in a cautious voice.

“I should be the one asking you this question.” There wasn’t a hint of emotion in Callum’s voice. “Did you hear our entire conversation?” Elspeth asked with a rather pained look on her face. “Did you hear everything that I said to Arthur?”

Yet, she seemed to insist on getting rid of the child without explaining herself to him. Callum felt extremely confused, and he decided to leave before he ended up saying anything hurtful to her. He hastened his footsteps at that thought. When he turned around a corner, he tilted his head back to find Elspeth crouching on the ground with both her hands covering her
