Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me

Chapter 364

Chapter 364 Knights in Shining Armor

Of the people who had yet to leave, a bitter-looking woman said contemptuously, “Since the company is closing down, why would we even come back?”

Elspeth smiled but didn’t utter a word.

“Alright. We won’t say more. It’s not like we’re heartless people.” The woman snorted. “By the way, those from the Alphascape Group said that as long as you’re willing to sell your shares, Miss Lynwood, they’ll go easy on the Azure Corporation.”

“Don’t worry. I won’t sell even a single share. I’d rather let the company go bankrupt than merge with the Alphascape Group.”

Elspeth squinted and smiled.

It’s no wonder the people in my company are acting rebellious. Those from the Alphascape Group are behind all this!

The woman shot her a look and barked, “Good luck, then.”

With that, she turned around and left with the people who intended to jump ship to another company.

When those who stayed saw that Elspeth was slightly pale, they were worried. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

“Miss Lynwood, are you feeling unwell?”

A sensitive Angela realized that Elspeth wasn’t in the pink of health.

“I’m fine. Don’t worry.”

The moment Elspeth finished speaking, she felt dizzy all of a sudden. Just as she was about to collapse, she steadied herself by clenching the armrests.

“Miss Lynwood!” Angela exclaimed in shock.

Elspeth felt a metallic tang in her throat. When she looked down, she realized there was a bit of blood on the table.

“Send me to the hospital, Harper.”

Elspeth’s voice was weak, and her face was as pale as a white sheet.

“Yes! Right away!”

Ignoring the fact that they were of different genders, Harper carried Elspeth and dashed out of the room.

He then sent her to the hospital in the shortest time possible. Subsequently, Elspeth was examined and sent to the ward.

When Harper saw how frail Elspeth was while the latter lay on the bed, he asked the doctor worriedly, “What happened to her, doctor?”

The doctor looked at the medical report with a solemn expression.

“She’s been struck with a strange illness. We can’t find any record of it in medical history. As such, I don’t know how to treat her.”

“A strange illness?”

The doctor nodded. “Yes. I’ve never encountered it before. I’ll go through the records later and see if there are similar cases.”

A helpless Harper replied, “I got it. Thanks, doctor.”

After the doctor was gone, Harper shifted his attention to Elspeth.

“Miss Lynwood, how many things are you hiding from me?”

He had never heard Elspeth mention that she was ill.

“I’m fine. It’s nothing serious. I’ll get well soon.”

Elspeth didn’t think it was necessary to tell him or anyone else about it, for she didn’t want the people around her to feel worried.

“It’s nothing serious? The doctor said that he’s never encountered such an illness before, and no record of it has been found in medical history.”

Harper sounded harsh, and there was a hint of displeasure behind his gaze. It was as though he was blaming Elspeth for not telling him about it.

“Harper, what gives you the audacity to speak to me like this?”

Elspeth smiled helplessly.

As though realizing he was too harsh on the woman, Harper was startled. Then, he said meekly, “I’m just worried about you. Moreover, you puked blood. I can’t believe you didn’t tell me about such a serious matter.”

He thought that Elspeth was treating him like an outsider.

“Alright. Don’t worry about me. Regardless of what kind of illness it is, I’ll solve the crisis facing the company.”

Harper was so exasperated that he had the urge to laugh.

“Why are you still worried about the company when you’re sick? It’s fine even if the company is gone. We can still make a comeback in the future. However, if your illness isn’t treated, no one will manage the company even if the crisis is solved.”

Harper had the urge to poke her forehead with his finger.

Alright. I might have crossed the line.

Elspeth coughed. “Don’t worry. I’ll get well.”

Just then, a series of knocks were heard at the door when they were having a chat.

They looked in the same direction, and when they registered the presence of the two people at the door, they were stunned.

“What’s wrong? Are you surprised to see me?”

Frank was the first to enter as he sat down on a chair and picked up an apple. After taking a bite, he pursed his lips. “How can you let her eat something so sour, Harper?”

Even more surprisingly, Jordan, who had disappeared for a long time, had come to visit as well.

“Don’t you welcome us?”

Jordan smirked and took a seat.

“Of course, I welcome you. But why are you here all of a sudden? And how do you…”

I didn’t tell them I’m still alive. How do they know I’m here?

Frank rolled his eyes and scoffed. “Do you think you can fool us with such a simple trick?”

Jordan chuckled and said, “That’s right. The show you’d put up was too dramatic. Certainly, no one believed that you were dead.”

Elspeth initially thought that the show she’d put up was impeccable. Furthermore, she had Edmund’s help at that time. As such, she supposed everyone believed that she was dead.

It never crossed her mind that these two people had seen through her act.

“Does Grandfather know I’m still alive?”

Elspeth looked doubtfully at them.

Frank nodded. “I think Grandpa is aware of it, but I believe he won’t cause you any trouble for now.”

Michael had realized that he was unable to restrain this granddaughter, so he had given up on it.

Elspeth was relieved when she heard that.

“So, what’s the purpose of you visiting me this time?”

At the mention of it, Frank couldn’t help but chastise her by saying, “Do you even remember that you’re my cousin? Your company is in trouble, but you’d rather seek Callum’s help than come looking for me.”

Elspeth felt a sense of warmth when she heard that.

In truth, she didn’t intend to go looking for Frank, nor was she ready to tell him she was still alive.

However, she soon realized something was off.

“Wait a minute. How do you know I went to ask for Callum’s help?”

Elspeth grew suspicious in an instant.

While Frank was startled, Jordan snorted. “It’s not like it’s hard to know what’s on your mind. Since the Azure Corporation is in trouble, you’d most likely go to Callum, for he’s the closest help you can get.”

Is that really the case?

Although his reason was valid, she felt that it wasn’t the truth for some reason.

“So, you…”

When Frank saw that Jordan had helped him out of trouble, he arched his brow and said confidently, “Don’t worry. Since we’re here, we won’t let your company fail.”

To the Azure Corporation, they were no different from knights in shining armor.
