Love’s Perfect Match Chapter 172

Chapter 172

Elspeth didn’t expect Callum to faint. She didn’t know what to do other than support his body and let

him lean on her.She was at a loss. Then, a clear voice came from behind her.“Elspeth? Why are you

here?”Spencer couldn’t help but feel sad when he saw the intimate scene between the two people in

front of him.He knew it wasn’t his place to ask about them, so he could only greet them like

this.“Spencer, Callum passed out, and he has a fever!” Her eyes were filled with panic.“Come. I’ll help!”

Spencer understood immediately and helped her carry Callum into the car.“Thank you.”“No worries. Do

you want me to bring you to the hospital?”Spencer couldn’t express how he felt. She even thanked him

for helping a man, but he was unwilling to let go of any chances to be alone with Elspeth.The

unconscious Callum didn’t count.“You don’t have to.” She shook her head apologetically. She looked at

Callum, who had passed out, and her heart ached as she was not in the mood to talk. “You must be

busy. You should get going.”This was an underground black market. Spencer probably had something

to do here. She didn’t want him to accompany her and waste his time. She felt very apologetic for even

troubling him in the first place.Remembering that he had something to do, Spencer nodded, albeit a bit

reluctant. “Alright, I will.”With that, Elspeth said goodbye to him. She had wanted to send Callum to the

hospital, but she saw how flushed his face was, so she took him back to the Joneson Residence

instead.Just as she was helping Callum into the house, Michael, who was about to step out, stopped

her. “What are you doing?”Although she didn’t want to interact with Michael, today was an exception.

She explained, “Callum has a fever, and no one was taking care of him, so I brought him back.”It was

okay for them to be intimate outside, but now, she had even brought him home!Michael was naturally

upset about this and grumbled, “As the president of the Winthrop Group, he doesn’t even have a

property in Konig? What’s the point of dating such a person?”Elspeth didn’t want to argue with him, and

Callum’s body was hanging weakly on her shoulders. She was desperate to bring him in so he could

rest. Therefore, she didn’t bother arguing with Michael.“I won’t allow him to enter the Joneson

Residence!” Michael roared, seeming to be insinuating something.“If you don’t let him in, I’ll leave with

him.”She knew Michael disapproved of Callum, so she turned around and walked out.“Elspeth! What is

the meaning of this?” Michael was trembling with anger.He really didn’t understand why his

granddaughter was being so disobedient. It was like she didn’t care about her grandfather’s feelings at

all.What did she think he was doing this for?He just wanted Elspeth to marry an excellent man!How

was this Callum guy worthy enough for her?Her expression became colder when she noticed Callum

wincing in pain. “I’ve made it very clear. If you don’t like Callum, I’ll go back to Damoria with

him.”Michael took a deep breath and asked, “What about Frank?”“It’s your call.”Her words were

ruthless. “Okay, okay!”His face turned red with anger. He could only obey her wishes for the sake of his

precious grandson. “You can let Callum stay here today, but he has to leave the Joneson Residence

after he wakes up!”After all, Frank was still lying on the hospital bed. If his back couldn’t heal, his life

would be ruined.Elspeth’s eyes were trained on Callum, and she didn’t spare a look at Michael. “Alright.

I’ll bring him in, then.”With that, she no longer bothered herself with Michael, who was almost exploding

with anger, and left instantly.Michael’s assistant stood next to him, looking perturbed. “Old Mr. Joneson,

what should we do? If this continues, she will certainly end up married to Callum.”Michael held his

breath and said in a quiet voice, “It’s okay. This is just a phase. When I introduce a better man to

Elspeth, she will understand my efforts.”Right then, he remembered something, and he asked, “I heard

that the boy from the Carr Family has returned to Blaydal. When you have time, make an appointment

with him. Let him and Elspeth meet.”The assistant understood what he meant and commented with a Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

smile, “Old Mr. Joneson, you’re very wise. She will definitely see your efforts.”Michael narrowed his

eyes. There was an unreadable look in his eyes. “I hope so. I really hope she won’t follow her mother’s

path.”In the room, Elspeth put Callum down on the bed and carefully tucked him in.She looked at his

closed eyes and felt an indescribable emotion in her heart.She got up to prepare some hot towels for

him. Before she placed them on his forehead, he grabbed her hand tightly, and she couldn’t

move.“Callum—”Before she could finish speaking, he tugged at her hand, and she lost her balance.

She fell directly on him.Elspeth noticed the slight tremble in Callum’s tightly shut eyes and figured she

was causing him pain by pressing down on him. She was just about to get up when he suddenly

opened his eyes. There was an indescribable gentleness in his gaze.“I heard everything.”She looked

up at him with a look of astonishment.“I heard what you said to Old Mr. Joneson.”Elspeth thought of

what she said, and her face turned red. “I didn’t say anything. Pretend you didn’t hear anything.”Callum

laughed weakly at that. “Why are you embarrassed for speaking up about your love?”“Oh, shut it!”She

was furious and smacked his chest softly. Suddenly, a pained expression flashed across his

face.“Callum, are you in pain?”Elspeth sensed something was wrong, and she wanted to lift his shirt,

but Callum stopped her. “I’m okay. I was messing with you. It doesn’t hurt at all.”“You’re lying.”Suspicion

rose within her, and she lifted his shirt only to see a bandaged wound. There was blood seeping

through the bandage.Callum watched as the suspicion in her eyes faded into a pained look. He pulled

his shirt down quickly to cover it. “It’s okay. It’s just a small injury. I’ll be fine.”Elspeth didn’t listen to his

dismissive words. With a hint of anger in her tone, she inquired, “What’s going on? Tell me the

truth.”Seeing that he remained silent after a while, she raised her voice impatiently as she asked,

“Callum, are you going to tell me or not?!”
