Love's Perfect Match

Chapter 66

Chapter 66 Condemnation

As soon as Elspeth woke up, she found Callum sitting beside the bed. It seemed as if he had been waiting for a long time.

“What are you doing here?”

She recalled being on the verge of freezing to death in the chiller. How did I make it out alive?

“Were you the one who saved me?”

“You’ve just woken up, so you should take it easy. Rest up.” It was difficult to detect what he felt from his tone. He poured a glass of water and handed it to her. “The doctor said you should stay in bed for the next few days. Call me if you need anything. Don’t try to tough it out and handle everything by yourself.”

Although he sounded stern and reprimanding, he did save Elspeth, so her resistance toward him eased a fair bit. Thus, she did not argue with him and drank the water with a nod.

After a while, she could not resist asking, “So, how on earth did you find me anyway? Did you plant a bug on me?”

Callum’s expression darkened. “What do you mean I planted a bug?”

“I didn’t call you for help, so how did you know where to find me?”

“A woman called and told me you got into trouble at Luna Bar. She asked me to come and save you.”

The wheels in Elspeth’s head started spinning, and Lydia was the first person that came to mind. She must’ve figured out my identity based on the name card. Then, she got in touch with the company’s customer service to ask for the president’s number. That’s how she managed to contact Callum. She seems pretty quick-witted!

Elspeth’s heart grew warm, and she could not help but smile faintly.

“Why are you smiling? You’re hopelessly foolish, so much so that you’d run into the chiller and allow yourself to get locked in.” There was a trace of reproach in Callum’s voice.
