Chapter 314

"Why do you think I would agree to it?" Elspeth leaned on the couch, sneering. Man. the Winthrop

brothers are crazy, except for Max. He's the only normal one.

"Hey. suit yourself, but I'm the only one who can cure your mother." Arthur looked at Elspeth, his gaze

smug. "You don't want her to die because of the illness, do you?"

"You fiend!" Elspeth cursed. She didn't believe him at all. "You can't cure her."

"Call Sonny, then. He can diagnose her. He can tell you if I'm telling the truth." Arthur sat on the couch

across from her and crossed liis legs.

Elspeth stared at him, her heart sinking, and she hesitated. She had checked on her mother before, but

her disease was an odd and stubborn one. It was nothing like she had seen before. Sonny was her

master, so he should reach the same conclusion as well. If he's the only one who can cure my mother,

then this is going to be trouble.

Elspeth's hesitation didn't escape Arthur. He crossed liis arms and adamantly said. "Don't worry. If you

agree to the engagement and go abroad with me. I can cure her."

"What if you go back on your word? What if you won't save my mother after we're engaged?" Elspeth

didn't think Arthur would keep liis promise.

"I won't. I don't have to lie to you."

"Why?"

"Because you saved me. I won't kill your mother."

Elspeth laughed as if she had just heard the biggest joke in her life, and she covered her mouth. "Don't

you think it's laughable to bring that memory up? You're practically holding me, your savior, at

gunpoint."

"I don't care what you believe. That's the best deal I can give you. and your mother doesn't have long

to live."

Elspeth clenched her fists, her nails burying into her flesh. "How long does she have left?"

"Three months. The disease will strike, and not even I can save her then."

Three months? Elspeth felt a twang of pain in her heart. She had gone through hell to find her mother.

Romantic love was nothing when compared to familial love. Even if she could never date Callum ever

again, she must save Helena. Elspeth raised her head, her eyes filled with determination. "When are

you going to bust her out?"

Arthur cocked his eyebrow, a smile curling liis lips. "So, you agree to my terms, I take it?"

"Shut it. You're taking her abroad for the treatment, aren't you? When are you busting her out?" Elspeth

felt nothing but anger and disgust for this scheming, evil man.

"All, I can do that easily. I just have to tell Michael I can save liis daughter, and he'll give her over to

me." Arthur had learned a bit of psychology before. Michael had lost liis daughter once, so he wouldn't

let Helena die.

Elspeth heaved a sigh of relief. If that's true, then the git isn't totally evil, then. "Make it quick." blurted

Elspeth, yet she had conflicting feelings about this.

"Make it quick? You're so eager to get engaged, hull?" Arthur smirked. Elspeth hated that smile.

"Shut it. I just want you to cure my mother." Elspeth shot him a glare. "Which room am I taking for the

night?"

"Any room you want except for the first one from the left on the second floor."

Elspeth's fury subsided, replaced by a hint of cheekiness. "What's with the room?"

Arthur smiled and mouthed something.

Whatever he said made Elspeth blush. She shot him a glare and went upstairs to pick a room for

herself. For fear that someone might overhear her from another room, she drew the curtains close and

locked the door, then she took her ring out. She wouldn't expose herself in front of Arthur. He was a

cunning and meticulous man. so he might realize something was up if he found out what she had on

her.

She was a doctor, after all. Attention to detail was her tiling. A moment later, Elspeth managed to

establish contact with Gilbert. Just when she was about to ask about his situation, Gilbert blurted,

"Elspeth? You're still alive?"

"What? Why am I not alive?"

Gilbert exchanged a look of surprise with Harper. "The Coles issued a statement this morning. Said you

died last night because your disease struck."

Died because of my illness... Elspeth twitched her lips. That is so Edmund. Thanks for hiding the fact I

ran from the wedding, but you could have gone with better news. "So did the Jonesons get mad?" She

wanted to know what Michael was doing.

"Obviously. The old git got so mad that he fell ill."

That evil twat is on liis deathbed. Heh. She felt a hint of sympathy for him, but she wouldn't pity liis

situation.

"I think the Coles are helping you." said Gilbert.

Elspeth was stunned. She asked, "How so?"

"Most people would at least hold an engagement party first, but they went straight to the wedding, and

in ten days too. I think he did all this so you could break free of the Jonesons. Since you're married

now, the git can't force you to many someone else. No matter what they say after the wedding, the fact

is you will be free of the Jonesons."

Elspeth felt a little wann and fuzzy inside. That explains a lot. She thought the Coles might just let her

escape slide, but she never expected them to help her. Now, she knew they were helping her. Irving

loves me. He wouldn't make me many someone I didn't love. Elias is a great man too. He wouldn't do

something like that either.

As for Edmund... he is already relenting a lot. Considering the fact that he's proud, not coming after me

is already the biggest concession he can make. For some reason, she teared up. Elspeth wanted to

call them, but since they had let her escape slide, calling them would be rude.

"So where are you now. Elspeth?" Gilbert asked.

"I'm..." Elspeth almost said the answer out loud, but she stopped herself before she could. I can't tell

him about the deal just yet.
