Hiding Behind Her Superficiality by Kyla Olson

Chapter 537 Believe Everything She Says

However, Elspeth was in no mood to be grieving over her child.

She was perplexed to the point where she didn’t know what she was thinking.

The nurse kept going on about some reminders, but she didn’t listen to any of them.

When she left the ward, someone was standing at the door. Instantly, her tears streamed down like a water tap that had been turned on.

“Elspeth…” Yelena spread her arms wide, allowing her friend to fall into her arms.

For the first time, she saw how fragile Elspeth was. She has always been my protector, but today, she looks like a broken doll.

“Elspeth, does it hurt?”

Even though Yelena had never given birth before, she knew how painful it must be for a woman after a miscarriage. Despite that, she could only comfort her friend gently and shed tears for her.

Caressing her face with a smile, Elspeth asked, “What are you crying for? It’s not like you went for the surgery.”

“I feel so bad for you.” Yelena only realized she had a nasal voice then. Suddenly, she clenched her teeth hard. “Callum is going overboard. It’s your surgery day! He was the one who made this happen, yet he’s avoiding you now. I’m starting to doubt if you married the right person.”

“Did Callum send you here?” Elspeth captured the point.

“Yeah. He said he has no guts to face you and claims that you hate him, but from my perspective, I think he’s just a coward!” Yelena then took off her jacket and draped it over Elspeth’s shoulders. “Come on. Stay over at my place for a few days.”

Even before marriage, Elspeth had never been to Yelena’s house, so she had no reason to go after her marriage, but now that Yelena invited her to come over, Elspeth nodded unexpectedly. “Let me make a phone call first.”

Yelena sighed bitterly. “Why are you still considering his feelings when he treats you like this?”

Lowering his head, Elspeth took out her phone and dialed a number. Three rings later, the receiver answered. “Hello.”

“I’m not coming home tonight. I’m sleeping over at Yelena’s.”

“Okay. Be safe.”
