Love's Perfect Match

Chapter 353 What's Between You and Him

"You want to know why?"

Arthur pulled an inexplicably baffling and amorous smile at Elspeth, who held her breath and said, "Tell me."

"It's a secret!" With that, the man walked away resolutely.

Elspeth had just lost interest in why he would poison Ginna, and now he threw this bomb at her.

"Can't we just leave it as it is? We've already done it once, and everyone already knows."

All things aside, just having to wake up at 5.00AM to get her makeup done was already torturous enough.

"That won't fly. I'm a man of principles; everything needs to be done through and through." Arthur shook his head with a frown. It seemed that he cared a lot about this matter.

Elspeth didn't have anything important to see to either. Then, it suddenly occurred to her that she hadn't given Isabel the medicinal herbs she had brought back the other time. Hence, she decided to buy a few other medicinal herbs from the hospital to mix with that batch after reaching home.

However, there were too few medicinal herbs in hospitals abroad. Even if the hospital she was in had the city's largest medicinal herb dispensary, she couldn't enter as she pleased, let alone obtain those medicinal herbs.

Still, she went with a glimmer of hope.
