Love's Perfect Match

Chapter 492

Chapter 492 Within His Plan

Callum took a step forward and drew her into his embrace. He had wanted to hug her tightly, but he was soon stopped by a hand on his chest.

Elspeth was resisting him as she didn't know what to do with the situation now.

"This is inappropriate," she mumbled, her mind in a mess. She wanted to accept his hug, but she didn't think she was capable of doing so.

"There's nothing inappropriate about this." Callum placed his head on her shoulder and murmured in a hoarse voice, "If… If we are really related by blood, it isn't an issue for cousins to hug each other either."

Though he was right, both of them knew exactly why they were hugging.

After a long pause, Callum continued, "Let us do a DNA test. I don't want to leave things the way they are."

"Okay."

Even though they both knew there was a slim chance of getting their desired outcome, they wanted to give it one last shot.

"I'll go now, then."

"Okay."

Elspeth plucked a few strands of her hair. After handing them to him, she stood there and watched him walk away.

…

Callum took the samples for the DNA test to a nearby hospital, but he ran into someone he didn't want to meet.

"Hello, Callum! It's been a long time since we last met. You're always in good health, so why am I seeing you in the hospital again?" Arthur spoke with an arrogant grin on his face.

His grin clearly had a hidden meaning.


After learning that Elspeth's mother had gone to the Winthrop Family, he had already guessed why Callum was here.

He simply refuses to accept that Elspeth and he are related by blood and wants to test it for himself! Until now, Callum has been reluctant to accept the truth. He truly loves Elspeth more than I thought.

"It's none of your concern." Callum gave Arthur a stern glare, not wanting to continue the conversation.

"Don't be so irritated. I know you're upset right now. I suppose it's because you discovered you're blood relatives with your wife, right?"

Callum had his right fist clenched, but his expression remained composed. "If there's nothing else, I'm leaving now."

"Don't act as if you're unconcerned. I know you're worried, but what can you do? Absurd things do happen, including the separation of a deeply in love couple as a result of this. Ridiculous, isn't it?" Arthur deliberately spoke sarcastically, wanting to see Callum's defeated expression.

However, no matter what he said, Callum maintained his cool.

Arthur was indignant when he saw this and he sighed flatly. "Fine. You're really calm."

"Are you done? If you are, I'm leaving now."

Just as Callum turned around and was about to leave, Arthur stopped him and said, "To tell you the truth, this was arranged by me."

Callum came to a halt, waiting to hear what Arthur had to say next.

"I deliberately sent Elspeth's mother to her side for both of you to realize that you two are blood-related and can't be together."

This was a cruel plan devised by Arthur. He was well aware that it would be more painful for both Callum and Elspeth to discover for themselves that they were blood-related and couldn't be together, rather than to have Arthur tell them.

However, Callum still wasn't agitated by Arthur's words. If this is his plan, he is indeed quite smart. At least he isn't as dumb as I thought him to be.

"So, you see, Callum, you and Elspeth aren't meant for each other. Let Elspeth be with me and I will take good care of her. You don't have to worry."

Arthur had an uncanny ability to add fuel to the fire; he knew exactly what to say to make Callum feel even worse.

"Even if she isn't with me, she won't like you either. You can stop dreaming about it."

Knowing Elspeth, she would never be attracted to Arthur.

This was why Callum had never considered Arthur to be a threat.

When Arthur heard this, the smile on his face immediately vanished and he muttered through gritted teeth, "You can't be certain. You and she can never be together, and once both of you are separated, I'll have a chance."

"What a good imagination you have," Callum pointed out before turning around and leaving without any hesitation.

Seeing him unwavering, Arthur, who initially wanted to make Callum feel defeated, now felt defeated himself.

He loathed Callum's ability to remain calm in any situation. Nevertheless, he knew what he should do as his next step.

Arthur sat in an inconspicuous corner and began observing his surroundings. After he was certain that Callum had left the hospital, he went straight into the laboratory.

The moment he opened the door, the doctor inside was surprised to see him. "Hey Arthur, what brings you here?"
