Chapter 71 Fake Information
“Hey, where are you going? I’m your boyfriend. Shouldn’t you be accompanying me?” Arthur was unwilling to let
her slip away, so he grabbed her wrist and whispered in her ear.
Elspeth felt an inexplicable sense of discomfort when he touched her, so she struggled to get away but failed.
“Arthur, you know that I don’t like you, and why I chose to be with you.”
Unable to break free, she stared coldly at him.
“I know. That’s why I’m trying to win your heart.” He leaned into her ear and chuckled. “Elspeth, don’t try to anger
me. Otherwise, even I don’t know what I might do to you.”
She looked at the madman before her. “What happened to you, Arthur? When did you become so extreme?”
He looked at her disbelievingly and smiled. “Have you ever thought of the possibility that this is the real me?”
Stunned, Elspeth could not figure out what caused a young man who grew up in a happy family to become like this.
“Alright, then. Let’s not talk about this anymore. You didn’t hang with me last time, so you can’t reject me this
time.” He took her hand and was about to bring her out when his phone suddenly rang.
He was called for emergency surgery because one of the patient’s conditions worsened and needed immediate
surgery.
“Well, it seems like we can’t go out this time either,” Arthur exclaimed regretfully while Elspeth felt relieved.
“You should hurry up. Don’t keep the patient waiting.” A relaxed smile appeared on her face as she waved goodbye.
“Don’t get too excited, Elspeth. I can finish that small operation within two hours.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOnce Arthur was gone, a person happened to enter the Information Department and left the door ajar. As such,
Elspeth took the opportunity to sneak inside while no one was looking.
Now that Arthur was caught up in surgery, she had ample time to find the needed information. Where would they
keep the file?
Quietly and carefully avoiding the person inside, she hid behind a bookcase, waiting for the person to grab the file
and leave before coming out of her hiding spot.
There were more than a dozen bookcases, and Elspeth had no idea where to begin looking for the file on Lydia’s
mom.
She had only looked through a few cupboards and found one hour had passed. With her current efficiency, she had
a slim chance of finding that file.
She sighed and was about to leave when she suddenly noticed that the files in the bookcases seemed to be
arranged in some sort of pattern. The first ten bookcases were organized by letters, while the rest were organized
according to last names.
Elspeth’s eyes lit up as she instantly knew where to locate the file she needed. However, she had gone through
every possible bookcase but still to no avail. If my guess is right, the file is inside Arthur’s office. Seems like he has
discovered my plan.
Afterward, she cleaned up her mess and exited the Information Department before heading into Arthur’s office to
search for the file.
Time passed quickly, and it had been two hours since he left. She still had not found the hospitalization record for
Lydia’s mom.
“Are you looking for this?” A voice sounded from above Elspeth, who looked up in shock and saw Arthur smiling with
a file in his hand.
“Yes.” She looked at him and frowned. “Arthur, I’ve said it time and again. I don’t like you, so stop giving me a hard
time.”
“But all I want is you.” He went over and trapped her between him and his desk after placing the file aside.
Being suddenly surrounded by the smell of orchids gave Elspeth a strange feeling.
“They say orchids symbolize elegance. Do you think your actions fit that description?” His gaze turned frosty as he
said that. “What are you trying to say? That I’m not worthy of you, but the merciless Callum is?”
She could vividly feel Arthur’s disgust and rejection toward Callum.
“He isn’t like that.”
“All of you have been tricked by him, so you naturally couldn’t see through his disguise.”
Feeling Arthur’s grip loosened, Elspeth took the chance while he was in a daze and stomped on his foot.
“Ouch!” The pain made him jump away, and she quickly took the file and sprinted out of the office, failing to see the
wicked smile on his face.
She ran back to her ward and locked the door to prevent Arthur from coming after her. Following that, she turned
on her laptop and began uploading the documents for the transfer process, which went unbelievingly smoothly.
After she was done, she called Lydia and asked that she pack up her mom’s belongings so that they could transfer
to another hospital at any moment.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLydia was unsure what was happening, but she fully trusted Elspeth because she had saved her mom.
Soon, an opportunity arose.
It was late at night, and Arthur was called for another surgery, so they had a considerable timeframe to help Lydia’s
mom transfer.
Yet, before Elspeth arrived at the ward, she received a call from Lydia. “Elspeth, something’s gone wrong!” She was
bawling her eyes out. “Something’s wrong with my mom. She began vomiting blood and passed out!”
“What? Did you call for a nurse?”
“I pressed the bell ten minutes ago, but nobody came. Elspeth, is my mom going to die?”
Elspeth’s mind went blank as she realized the situation differed from how she imagined it. It seemed like the
situation had gone out of hand.
She instinctively wanted to call Arthur and question him about this but realized he was performing surgery and had
turned off his phone. Therefore, she ran to the doctor’s office and grabbed a random doctor. “Doc, where are all
the surgeons?”
“I don’t know. I’m not a surgeon…”
She went around and asked several doctors but found all the surgeons on duty tonight had disappeared.
Having no choice, she called the nearest hospital and asked for an ambulance. However, she was told that hospitals
would not accept patients from other hospitals because they had no idea about the patient’s conditions.
In the end, her only choice was to call Callum.
“Wait for me. I’m coming over now.” He ran out of his mom’s ward and rushed over. When he saw Elspeth’s solemn
countenance, he knew it was something serious.
“Let’s head over to the ward. I’ll bring Lydia’s mom to the nearest hospital.”
