Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me?

Chapter 585 Fishing by the Lake

"My mother is fine now, but…"

Seeing that Elspeth hesitated to speak, Margot immediately asked, "What's wrong? What is it?"

When Elspeth saw Margot's anxious expression, she decided not to tell her about the kid for the time

being and planned to ask Callum about it herself when he came back at night.

"It's nothing. I just feel sorry that I've delayed some work these few days." She simply made up a lie

and managed to deceive Margot.

Immediately, Margot put on a stern face. "Work can wait. The most important thing now is to take care

of your mother's health."

"I know, Mom."

After saying that, Margot sighed and said, "Bring your mother over when you have time. I have some

things I want to talk to her about." As she said this, there was a hint of guilt in her eyes; perhaps she

was still concerned about the thing that happened decades ago.

"Okay."

When Callum came back, he found that Elspeth had no intention of communicating with him, and her

tone was indifferent, which was unusual, so he felt very strange. After dinner, when the two of them

returned to their room, she sat on the bed and didn't want to talk.

"What's wrong? Why have you been feeling down since you came back from the hospital?" He

guessed that she might have encountered something at the hospital, so he patiently comforted her,

saying, "Can you tell me about it?"

"I met someone at the hospital today who looks just like you." Elspeth slowly spoke up, carefully

observing his facial expressions.

When Callum heard that, he was stunned for a moment before smiling. "There are so many people

who look alike in this world. It's normal to come across one of them."

"It was a three-year-old boy."

At this, his expression instantly changed. "Do you suspect that's my child?"

Although she didn't answer, her silence gave out her thoughts.

He nearly laughed out loud in anger. "We've only known each other for four years. Do you really think I

had a child with another woman soon after I met you?"

"That's not what I meant." Elspeth opened her mouth, trying to explain, but the next moment, he pulled

her into his arms.

"I know you just had an abortion, and it's understandable that you're feeling down about it." He stroked

her hair, gently comforting her. "So, I'm giving you my word. I have only been with you from the

beginning and have never had any relations with other women."

After spending so much time together, how could she not know what kind of person he was? She just

missed her child that was never born. As she made a muffled sound of agreement, she wrapped her

arms around his waist.

"We can still have a child when your body recovers."

At his words, she felt a warmth in her heart and nodded vigorously.

…

The next morning, the scandal surrounding the McGrath Family suddenly took over the internet. The

article detailed the shocking and outrageous deeds that Haris had done. Instantly, the McGrath Family

was pushed to the center of public attention.

However, almost all members of the McGrath Family had been taken to the police station, so no one

was left to deal with the aftermath. Only Emily remained in the villa, all alone, with a group of protesters

and reporters blocking the entrance.

"Mrs. McGrath, are those things that the McGrath Family did true?"

"Did you participate in those things, Mrs. McGrath?"

"Have all the others except you been taken to the police station?"

"The McGrath Family has done so many disgusting things. Why don't you just go and die?"

"Shall we break open the door and drag that woman out to vent our anger?"

Emily was so frightened that she dared not open the door. When she looked through the window, she

could still see the compact crowd, making her feel suffocated. She knew that if she went out now, she

would probably be criticized by everyone.

At the same time, the group of people at the door actually started to take action. When she heard the

door being forcefully pushed, she was so scared that she trembled. After looking around, she finally

decided to go upstairs first.

However, as soon as she reached the top of the stairs, the door was pushed open with a bang. "Mrs.

McGrath is over there, on the stairs!"

The moment she saw that a group of people was rushing toward her, she closed her eyes and jumped

off the stairs. Thud! The sound of a heavy object hitting the ground could be heard. Everyone stopped

what they were doing and looked at the spot where the sound came from without saying a word.

At this moment, blood was flowing from her head, making the scene look terrifying.

Only after a whole minute did someone realize that they needed to call 911, but it was already too late,

as Emily had already died.

After hearing this news, Bobby, who was far away in prison, had a breakdown and became mentally ill.

Likewise, Jasmine was also devastated and chose a sunny afternoon to commit suicide by banging her

head against the wall in prison.

As for Haris, since he only had one son in the family, he died of a heart attack in anger, knowing that

his daughter-in-law and granddaughter were both dead and that his son had become crazy.

With the deaths of these three people, the McGrath Family's saga finally came to an end.

…

During the weekend, Yelena said she wanted to go fishing by the lake and specifically invited Elspeth

to come along.

Of course, Elspeth couldn't refuse, so she followed her to the lake. At the same time, Callum and Hank

also came along. These two pairs drove and chatted throughout their journey to the lake.

At the lake, Yelena excitedly handled the fishing rod while Hank took out the bait from his bag.

Meanwhile, Callum was responsible for observing whether the surrounding environment was suitable

for fishing.

Since Hank had always enjoyed fishing, he raised his eyebrows with the fishing rod in his hands. "I

might come in first in today's fishing competition."

"No? Maybe I will catch more fish than you," Yelena said, unwilling to let him steal the spotlight. She

then sat down and started fishing seriously.

Hearing their conversation, Elspeth and Callum smiled at each other helplessly and found their spots to

fish.

Soon, Yelena unexpectedly caught her first fish. She held the fish hook and laughed heartily, with a

proud look in her eyes. "See, I told you not to jump to conclusions too early."

Hank just glanced at her sideways and then turned his head to focus on his fishing rod.

"You're no fun at all. Hmph, I'll definitely catch more fish than you." After saying that, she sat back down

and continued fishing.

Half an hour later, Hank's fishing rod trembled slightly. He gently hooked it, and a fish fell into his

bucket naturally. Not only that, but the fish was even bigger and fatter than Yelena's.

Instantly, Yelena became anxious, but no matter how long she waited, she couldn't catch a second fish.
