Chapter 477 Quid Pro Quo
Can it be that Old Mr. McGrath knows about my mother?
"What is it that you know of, Old Mr. McGrath? Please do tell."
At that, Haris chuckled. "No rush. It's just that I don't know if I should say it so easily. You see, I don't know if Winthrop here knows about it."
Elspeth's heart skipped a beat. Callum was unaware of it just yet.
Callum, on the other hand, was unfazed. "I'm her husband. Is there anything I can't hear about?"
"No, not quite."
At that, the elder person explained, saying, "I want to talk about Elspeth's mother…"
"She has passed. I suggest you don't talk about it anymore."
Callum had thought she felt uncomfortable after hearing Haris' words and recalled some sad moments when he saw her grim face. Elspeth, on the other hand, thought she was right about her guess.
"No, her mother hadn't passed."
Callum frowned in response. "What do you mean?"
"Her mother is still alive. She's just somewhere Elspeth can't find."
At that, Callum turned to his beloved. Seeing that she didn't panic in the way that he had imagined, he knew it wasn't as he imagined.
"I'd appreciate it if you could be clear about it."
"I'm saying the woman who passed wasn't Elspeth's birth mother."
"Then, do you know where my birth mother is?" Elspeth asked.
