Elspeth started to panic when she saw Callum keeping quiet. “I really didn’t—” Before she could finish her words, Spencer found himself speaking up for her, “What’s this? Did you come all the way here just to interrogate your girlfriend, Mr. Winthrop?” He felt his heart aching when he saw the helpless look on Elspeth’s face.
Callum was already worried about Elspeth, and the look in his eyes grew colder after he heard how protective Spencer sounded. “I’m talking to my girlfriend here. Why are you interrupting us?”
“I’m not interested in interrupting you guys. I think you should show your girlfriend a little more care after what just happened to her!” Spencer protested.
“Either way, it’s none of your business. Stay out of this!” Callum hissed.
Spencer scoffed. “Do you know what this is? Acid! Do you think it’s a small matter for acid to be poured on one’s arm? The person who stopped the acid from landing on Elspeth is in surgery now. Meanwhile, you’re not doing anything about it, even as her boyfriend. You’re just here questioning her. What a great boyfriend you are!” he hissed.
Callum gazed at the woman before him. There was a glint in his eyes and a sorrow in his gaze. Elspeth was about to call out for him when she felt a tug of pain that shot through her arm. She bent down as she hissed in pain. It hurt so much that cold sweat began to form on her forehead. When Spencer saw her in pain, he hastily asked if she needed a doctor.
She shook her head. When she next looked up, she realized the other man was gone. The door was left slightly open, telling her that someone had just walked out. “He left. I need to find him.”
She had just straightened her figure when Spencer held her back. “Why are you looking for him? He doesn’t even care about your injury.”
