Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me?

Looking at the slightly pained expression on his face, Elspeth asked, “What about Mrs. Blue?”

“She passed away in that car accident.”

She immediately knew that she had reopened an old wound by accident. Sighing heavily, she looked guilty as she apologized, “I’m sorry for probing.”

“It’s alright. It’s been decades now. I have gotten over it.” The look on Yoel Blue’s face turned gentle in an instant.

“Since you are alive, why haven’t you gone and seen him, Mr. Blue?”

He opened his mouth and must have been at a loss for words as he only slowly began after a long minute, “It is because of my selfishness. After I recovered back then, I learned that the Winthrop Family had adopted him. And because he was but a young boy, and I wished for him to live a good life as a Winthrop, I went incognito and left Damoria.

“I have been keeping myself updated about him all these years. I only hurried back recently after I heard about Arthur’s falling out with the Winthrops.”

Elspeth was filled with anger the moment Arthur’s name came up, but still, she tried her best to calm down. “Mr. Blue, Arthur has gotten especially twisted these years. With how ambitious and aggressive he is, he might not listen to you.”

Yoel’s sad and helpless eyes were staring blankly ahead. He seemed to have lost the light in his eyes.

“It’s all my fault. I’m sorry. I single-handedly made Arthur who he is today. If only I hadn’t been greedy for a better life for him, he wouldn’t have…”

“Please talk things out with him if you do meet. You are his birth parent after all. I have a feeling he will listen to you.”

Elspeth suddenly felt hopeful that the man in front of her was someone who would be able to save Arthur.

“Let’s do it this way,” she added. “I will take you to him after I save my patient with your herbs. Don’t worry. Every problem will be solved then.”

She smiled and took out a card which she passed to Yoel. “I know that you said you’re not taking money from me, but rules are rules; I will pay you according to the market price. There are 1.5 million on this card. There should be change left excluding the price for these herbs.”
