Hiding Behind Her Superficiality by Kyla Olson

Chapter 581 He Never Had Feelings for You

“Alright. Let’s go back now.”

Callum patted Elspeth on the shoulder. His expression had softened up a little.

Elspeth shook her head. “I can’t go back just yet. There’s something I haven’t done.”

“What is it?”

“Old Mr. McGrath drugged Winter with a strange concoction. The formula contains some rare ingredients, so I need to take a few things from his stash just in case.”

“I’ll come with you.”

Callum was worried that something unexpected would happen to Elspeth and that she would get injured, so he insisted on tagging along with her.

“It’s fine. I was here in the past and I know where his storage is. I’ll be right back. Wait for me.”

Now that the McGraths had been dealt with, there was little risk in moving around on her own.

Callum had no choice but to do as she said.

However, Elspeth was gone for quite some time, and with each passing second, Callum grew more worried. He had to track her down by heading in the direction she’d gone and following the scent of medicinal herbs. True enough, the scent led him to the storage room.

“Elspeth?” Callum called out a few times and heard no reply which further solidified his fears.

His heart sank as he immediately rushed in, but the scene he stumbled upon left him feeling both amused and exasperated.

Elspeth was fast asleep with her head on the table and her hand still clutching a sprig of some medicinal herb. It was clear that she’d fallen asleep from over-exhaustion.

Callum quietly went over and took off his jacket to put it around her. As soon as the jacket touched her, her eyes flew open.

She rubbed her eyes and muttered, “Why did you come over? I thought I told you to wait back there for me.”
