Chapter 51 Accident on a Business Trip

After hearing that, Elspeth couldn’t help laughing and said, “I have nothing to do with Callum, not to mention meddling in their relationship.”

Ginna was so paranoid.

“Miss Lynwood, you are smart, but I have my own judgment.” She stroked her hair and continued, “When you’re with Callum, I can see the hidden emotion you two have, or I wouldn’t have come all the way here to see you.”

Elspeth looked at her coldly and reassured her, “Don’t worry. Nothing is going on between the two of us.”

“That’ll be the best. I’m leaving tomorrow on a flight at 8.00AM, but I must remind you that my sister will be back in six months. So, I suggest you keep your distance from Callum; otherwise, you’ll be the one who ends up getting hurt.” After saying those words, Ginna got up and left.

Was Emma coming back soon?

Elspeth’s eyes were dim and hard to distinguish. Lowering her head, she took another sip of wine.

When Harper returned, she had already passed out from drinking. When he leaned closer to her, she was mumbling someone’s name. “C-Callum Winthrop… B*stard…”

Sure enough, it was Callum who made her upset. However, now that she was drunk, Harper couldn’t send her home, so he carried her upstairs to the lounge instead.

When Elspeth woke up and found herself lying in the lounge upstairs of the bar. He had already left, but beside her were a new set of clothes and a bottle of powdered Ganoderma. Then, she got up, took a shower, changed her clothes, and left the bar.

She returned to Winthrop Residence with her items, and the moment she walked in, she noticed Callum reading on the couch. Since it was the weekend, he didn’t go to work. He wore dark blue pajamas, which made him look neat and gentle, unlike his usual aloof appearance.

“Are you back?”

He seemed to have forgotten their minor argument the night before and took the initiative to talk to her.

Instead of responding, Elspeth snorted at him.

“Don’t go drinking at night anymore. You reek of alcohol.”

Smelling the faint scent of jasmine on her body, she frowned. “I don’t reek of alcohol.”

Without uttering another word, Callum closed the book.

“Did you send your men to stalk me?”

A quick possibility flashed in her mind.

His gaze was calm as he replied, “No. My father sent someone to follow you in case something happens.”

Hearing his explanation, she felt uneasy. “If that is the case, I don’t need your concern. I’m going to sleep now. Bye.”

Just as she was heading upstairs, her arm was yanked. “Don’t get worked up.” Callum softened his voice for the first time, trying to have a good talk with Elspeth.

She wanted to break free but realized she couldn’t, so she stared at him with fierce eyes. “Callum, it’s none of your business whether I’m angry or not. Let me go.”

“I’m going on a business trip this afternoon for two days, and my dad said that you have to accompany me.” When he said that, his eyes were clear, and it didn’t seem like he was lying.

Elspeth intended to refuse him, but she realized that if Theodore was the one who wanted her to go, she would have to bite her tongue.

“Why does Mr. Winthrop wants me to go with you?” She couldn’t figure out how Theodore found out about Callum’s business trip and purposefully wanted her to accompany Callum.

When he noticed that she had calmed down, he let go of her and replied, “Maybe he wants us to spend more time together and try to get along.”

Now that Ophelia was out of options, Theodore hoped Elspeth could marry Callum, so he deliberately created opportunities for them to be alone.

“When do we have to leave?”

Although she didn’t want to be alone with Callum, especially after what had transpired over the past two days, she had an inexplicable aversion to him. However, if she refused him, Theodore might probably act pitifully toward her again. She wouldn’t be able to refute him by then.

“3.00PM flight and we’re going to Bellville.”

“Okay. I’ll pack my stuff now, then we can leave.” Elspeth let out a defeated sigh.

Since they were only going to be away for two days, she didn’t need to pack too much. After lightly packing her bags, she accompanied him to the airport.

The flight to Bellville took only two hours, and Callum booked first-class tickets. Only a few seats were occupied, and most of the passengers were typing away on their laptops.

Elspeth covered her lap with a small blanket while sipping a cup of coffee.

The plane was flying smoothly through the stratosphere when it suddenly began vibrating violently. A broadcast was made to remind passengers to remain seated.

“Callum, something seems wrong.”

As the turbulence became increasingly apparent, she could not help but become serious.

Then, he turned off his computer and began to assess the situation. When he felt the amplitude, he calmed down. “There’s not much turbulence right now. Just wait and hear what the captain says.”

The following instant, the plane experienced a sudden, severe tremor and began a steep nosedive!

“Everyone, don’t panic. Please stay calm as the captain is controlling the plane…”

The radio beeps became more frequent, making Elspeth realize the gravity of the situation.

After a minute or so, the plane seemed to descend at a slower rate, but it was still a steep dive toward the ground.

“Callum, I want to go to the cockpit.”

He responded with a frown. “Don’t cause trouble right now.”

As the situation became more critical, she unfastened her seat belt and stood up. “I’m not trying to cause trouble. I just want to try if I can make the plane land safely.”

Before she left, her wrist was firmly grasped. “Elspeth, human life is not a trivial matter, and the cockpit is the most dangerous place of a plane. Do you know that?”

“I know, but trust me, Callum.” Her gaze was firm, and then she pushed his hand away. “I have a pilot’s license and have flying experience. I want to give it a try, even though I don’t usually fly planes.”

Nevertheless, Callum didn’t let go of her. “It’s not safe.”

The repeated words on the radio suddenly changed this time. “To all passengers aboard flight G12548, do any of you know how to fly a plane? Do any of you know how to fly a plane—”

“Listen up, Callum. The captain is incapable of handling this type of emergency. If I don’t try, everyone on board will die.”

He felt his heart tighten as he looked into Elsepth’s determined eyes, but he still slowly released her hand.

“I’ll come with you.”

Elspeth declined without hesitation. “Don’t. The air pressure in the cockpit isn’t stable. It’ll be risky for you to come.”

“Why don’t I come with you?”

She abruptly turned her head to find the source of the voice, which came from a stranger seated in the last row.
