Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me?

“She is a kind girl, and her kindness is the most precious thing in the world. However, some people have to take advantage of her kindness for selfish purposes.” When Jordan was done, he turned to Callum, returning a cold gaze with the same intensity.

Angie fixed her gaze on Jordan as tears welled up in her eyes. “Jordan, I know you’re doing this for me, but you went a little overboard.”

“There’s no need to say anything. Soon, you’ll live a life like normal people.” Even though he demanded her silence, he was still watching her with affection.

“But I mean every word. All you’re doing is hurting me and upsetting me. Even if I can live a normal life in the future, I’m living in constant guilt.”

Jordan’s smile froze on his face.

“You need to stop, Jordan. All I need is your company for the rest of my life.”

Saying too many words in one go for the first time resulted in her going limp and falling to her knees with a thump. Even though the pain from her knees made her frown, sincerity remained on her expression.

He watched her with a complex expression including disappointment, knowing the tables had turned. He could no longer make his plan come true.

“I can save her.”

Elspeth, who had been keeping quiet most of the time, chimed in all of a sudden. Her gaze that met his was burning with a hint of blinding determination.

Jordan’s eyes immediately brightened with the glint of hope. “Did you just say you can save her? You aren’t lying to me, are you?”

She forced a smile. “I have excelled in my skills as Sonny Schwartz’s student. I’ll try my best to save her. As long as you get me the ingredients I need, I can save her life.”

Jordan’s voice was shaky. “Of course.”

He almost forgot that Elspeth was an apprentice to Sonny, the medical expert.

Letting go of Elspeth, Jordan took a few steps forward as he tried to help Angie back on her feet. However, Callum’s men stopped him in his tracks by pinning his arms.

Angie forced herself to her feet without any help. The next moment, Callum felt a tug on his sleeve. “Mr. Winthrop, please spare him. I told you where Elspeth was, didn’t I?”
