Chapter 96

Stunned by Elspeth’s request, Sonny asked, “I-Is this lady asleep or something?” After a brief pause, he said something that left everyone surprised.

Knowing how humorous her mentor was, Elspeth rolled her eyes upward in silence. “She is in a vegetative state now. Can you help her?”

“Oh, come on. It’s not that serious. I’m sure you can handle it yourself, Elspeth.”

“I don’t know how I can do that,” Elspetli responded casually.

“What? You don’t know how to handle that yourself even after I taught you so seriously? Dear god! You just broke my heart…” Sonny pretended to cry, thinking it should make his mentee feel helpless when she saw an old man like him so sad.

“Alright. Stop crying, okay? I’ll book a flight for you taking off in an hour. It should take you about four to five hours to get here, so be here as early as you can,” Elspeth chuckled and added, “or you can forget about getting your revenge in chess.”

As Sonny was about to reject Elspeth, he quickly changed his mind and wiped his tears after hearing Elspeth’s threat. “Fine, I’ll help her. It’s not a big deal anyway. Ugh! I have a feeling I’m going to suffer horribly at your hands!” Sonny had no choice but to pack his clothes after the conversation despite his reluctance.

Meanwhile, Elspeth shifted her eyes to the doctor and raised her eyebrows, asking. “So, do you believe me now? If you don’t, you’re welcome to wait here until he shows up.”

In the face of Elspeth’s confidence, the doctor started to suspect that he might’ve been wrong after all. Furthermore, having seen the video call between Elspeth and Sonny, he was filled with guilt and shame instead of arrogance and belligerence.

“It’s alright. I should get going now. I still have some business to attend to…” Already ashamed of his ineptitude, the doctor knew that more humiliation would be waiting for him if he continued to stay behind. Although he was tempted to watch and learn from Sonny, his ego would not allow him to tolerate any more humiliation.

“Alright, see you around, doctor.” After the doctor was gone, Elspeth turned her attention to Callum. “My mentor is going to be here soon, Callum. Your mother is going to be alright.”
