Chapter 106

Since she was in the hospital, Elspeth couldn’t do a lot of work, so Callum handed her job over to Alaina. When she heard of that, all she did was smile bitterly. So, he’s kicking me away in favor of Alaina, huh? It was a frustrating thought, so she put it aside and focused on recovery.

Once news of Elspeth’s hospitalization reached Theodore, he asked all his sons to take care of her until she was healthy again. She had no one else taking care of her after all.

Margot was absolutely attentive when it came to Elspeth. She paid her a visit of her own volition and agreed with her husband’s suggestion.

Callum was the first one to go, but his appearance only made Elspeth furious. She wouldn’t even look at him. “You’re a busy man, Mr. Winthrop. No need to come.”

Callum looked at her calmly. “Dad told me to take care of you.

That almost made Elspeth laugh. “He wasn’t holding you at gunpoint. You don’t have to force yourself.”

Coolly, he said, “I am not forcing myself. I’m doing this willingly.”

“Not the point. Point is, you should go back to work and show the new girl the ropes. You can drop the act now.” The fact that Callum cared for Alaina so much hurt Elspeth, and she was spiteful over that.

“We’re innocent.”

“Says you.” Elspeth smiled. “But I know you like a kind, gentle, and hardworking woman like her. Everyone
