Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me?

Chapter 164

“One month?” Elspeth asked.

Anya scoffed. “I knew it. You can’t do it at all. One month is a long time. If you can’t make any changes by then, how dare you claim that you can heal him?!”

“One month is too long. His wound would’ve healed on its own by then. All I need is two weeks,” Elspeth replied. The other woman was shocked to hear this. “Two weeks? That’s fast. You’re lying, aren’t you? You’re just trying to run away, right?”

“If I wanted to run, I could’ve done it the moment he got injured. Frank saved me, so I’ll make sure he is completely healed.” Even though Elspeth sounded convincing, Michael immediately protested against her words, “You’re just a young lady. What do you know about treating others? I know you’re an impressive woman, but you don’t have to take responsibility for everything. You’re getting too big for your boots.” He clearly didn’t believe Elspeth. “I’ve already contacted another doctor, and the doctor will come over to treat Frank after we’ve come to an agreement.”

“Who’s the doctor?” she asked.

Michael told her the doctor’s full name in case she didn’t know who he was. “It’s Sonny Schwartz,” he uttered. It was Sonny again. She gazed at the older man as she replied in a calm tone, “It has been seven years since Sonny emerged from the hills. He’s not going to come out to save anyone.” Only if I’m the one who asks him, she thought.

“I don’t care how much it costs. I’m going to get the man to come over.” Michael had an abundance of money. He was willing to spend anything for his precious grandson. Elspeth felt like laughing at his words. “If you don’t believe me, you can always try calling him. You can ask if he is willing to come over.”

Michael sensed a challenge, and he didn’t want to be shamed in front of others. So, he dialed Sonny’s number and put him on loudspeaker. “Am I speaking to Mr. Schwartz?” he asked politely once the call connected.

People were arguing with one another. “Hey! You’re not allowed to change your move in chess.

when he saw the nonchalant look on Elspeth’s face, he couldn’t bring himself to say much. Meanwhile, Anya, who had intended to strike a bet with Elspeth earlier, looked utterly embarrassed by herself. I can’t believe she is Sonny’s mentee. Most people never
