Chapter 314

"Why do you think I would agree to it?" Elspeth leaned on the couch, sneering. Man. the Winthrop brothers are crazy, except for Max. He's the only normal one.

"Hey. suit yourself, but I'm the only one who can cure your mother." Arthur looked at Elspeth, his gaze smug. "You don't want her to die because of the illness, do you?"

"You fiend!" Elspeth cursed. She didn't believe him at all. "You can't cure her."

"Call Sonny, then. He can diagnose her. He can tell you if I'm telling the truth." Arthur sat on the couch across from her and crossed liis legs.

Elspeth stared at him, her heart sinking, and she hesitated. She had checked on her mother before, but her disease was an odd and stubborn one. It was nothing like she had seen before. Sonny was her master, so he should reach the same conclusion as well. If he's the only one who can cure my mother, then this is going to be trouble.

Elspeth's hesitation didn't escape Arthur. He crossed liis arms and adamantly said. "Don't worry. If you agree to the engagement and go abroad with me. I can cure her."

"What if you go back on your word? What if you won't save my mother after we're engaged?" Elspeth didn't think Arthur would keep liis promise.
