Love's Perfect Match

Chapter 535 Sonny’s Advice

Elspeth could tell that she wasn't at the peak of her health—this was also one of the reasons she had contemplated if she should keep the child. However, the way Arthur phrased it made it seem as if she would fall apart after giving birth to a child. Elspeth managed to keep a calm look on her face although she was clenching her fists under the table. "What are you talking about? What do you know about this?"

"I know more than you think I do, of course. I only wanted to remind you of this matter because I don't want anything bad to happen to you." The look of concern on Arthur's face didn't seem pretentious. Elspeth was rather suspicious of his intentions. "Well, I still need you to give me a solid reason." She wasn't going to put her complete trust in the man's words—she had to remain vigilant around him.

"Would you trust me if I told you the truth?" he asked.

"I'll try my best to trust you." Elspeth then realized how the man had been hesitant to tell her everything only because he was afraid that she would be suspicious of him. Arthur forced a smile. "I knew it. I'm sure you'll never have complete trust in me. However, I still wanted to talk to you about this for the sake of your own health. When Jasmine's grandfather treated your illness, he didn't completely heal you. You might feel like you're completely healed, but the truth is that your body wouldn't be able to handle childbirth," Arthur explained.

"Are you saying that Old Mr. McGrath did this to stop me from getting back together with Callum? Was this his plan all along?" Elspeth felt chills running down her spine. She hadn't considered this matter in the past. She hadn't expected Haris to be so manipulative.

"I guess you could say that." Arthur seemed rather uneasy at that point. "Well, regardless, I don't think you should keep the child."

"Arthur." Elspeth looked up with a hint of amusement in her gaze. "I don't think your intentions are all that pure, am I right?"
