Sweetheart Do You Still Love Me novel Chapter 114

Chapter 114

Elspeth certainly knew how to swim very well, as she saved quite a number of drowning children when she was

abroad.

Although the river was deep, it was a piece of cake for her.

With all her might, she swam toward the spot where the water splashed. The girl had drowned due to fatigue, so the moment she dived down, she saw the girl slowly sinking.

Swimming to her side, Elspeth scooped her up and swam to the surface.

Finally, the crowd breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing that they were fine.

“What are you all waiting for? Grab a piece of wood for me.”

Because Elspeth had not fully recovered her strength yet, it would be a pipedream for her to swim to the shore while carrying the girl.

Someone reacted in time, managing to find a long and thin log from the pile of wood nearby and holding it in front of Elspeth to let her grab onto it before pulling it toward the shore.

Although Elspeth and the girl were safe, the girl was choking on water and remained unconscious.

There were already people who called for an ambulance, but the urgent matter then was to awaken her first.

Pressing down on her chest, Elspeth then blew oxygen into her mouth. Soon enough, the girl spewed water out.

“It’s fine now! She’s awake!”

It wasn’t until the bystanders saw she kept spewing water out that they finally calmed down.

Fatigued, Elspeth crouched down on the side, only to notice there was a word sewn onto the girl’s collar.

“Joneson.”

This little girl is wearing some pretty expensive-looking clothes. They seem to be custom-made. Also, she’s wearing a ruffled blouse and fringe skitt, which are both currently in trend in Konig. Could she be someone from the Joneson Family?

She knew a little about the Joneson Family. They weren’t based in Damoria. Instead, they were based in Konig, where they were one of the top dogs.

The more important thing was that all the family members were involved in the army and politics, as they were from a long line of important officials.

Just as she was trying to deduce what happened, a black Rolls-Royce parked right in front of her before a couple stepped out of the car.

The man was in his early thirties and had a striking figure with him looking like he was still in his twenties instead. Meanwhile, the woman had an extraordinary aura, yet she had a gentle expression.

The moment the two saw the girl lying on the Tloor, they were shocked.

The woman immediately went up and touched her cheeks. “My sweet Lola, what happened to you? If something terrible were to befall you, how could your father and I continue to live on?”

Elspeth, seeing the woman beside her become so agitated, comforted her. “She’s out of danger, for the time being, anyway. Once she rests in the hospital for a few days, she’ll be all right.”

The woman wiped her tears. “You are..”

“She fell into the water just now. I saved her.”

With a face full of gratitude, the woman stated, “Thank you, young lady! You’re our savior! When Lola wakes up, I will thank you properly then!”

“It’s nothing. I just did what seemed right.”

The man, who was beside them, stayed silent until he saw Elspeth’s face and was taken aback.

“What’s your name?”

Seeing how stunned he was, Elspeth replied, “I’m Elspeth. Elspeth Lynwood.”

“Elspeth Lynwood… Lynwood…”

Suddenly, the couple stared at her, wide-eyed.

The man whispered to his wife, “I remember my sister married a guy by the name of Lynwood as well.”

“You’re right. She has identical eyebrows. She looks so alike that I think she’s your sister’s daughter.”

Before they could confirm this, Elspeth suddenly remembered that she had other matters to attend to, so she bid her farewell in a rush. “The girl should be fine now. Just watch out that she doesn’t develop a trauma. If there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving now. Goodbye.”

The two held back their question and nodded as she left.

Reaching the Azure Corporation, Elspeth was soaked, so she changed into a fresh set of clothes in her office first before drying her hair. Stepping into the CEO’s office, she saw Harper and Callum sitting together, looking

“Miss Lynwood, you’re..”

Elspeth was not too shocked, for she only stated calmly, “I have something to talk to you about. If you’re not free, then I’ll come some other time.”

Harper noticed that Elspeth did not seem to be in the best of mood and ignored Callum, so he deduced that the two must have had a tiff again.

“Oh no, I’m not busy at all. Mr. Winthrop just dropped in to discuss some details of our collaboration for the next season. We’ll wrap this up in a jiffy.”

On the other hand, Callum kept looking at Elspeth.

“Okay. I’ll wait for you by the side then.”

Elspeth sat on the couch by the side and waited. At first, she was still willing to wait, but she felt more and more perplexed by their conversation.

Why is Callum talking about useless things? It’s all things that have nothing to do with business.

He looked like he was dragging the time out and did not want her to talk to Harper.

Just thinking about that made her frustrated, so she started to play games on her phone to alleviate her emotions.

Seeing her in-game resources being taken by her teammates, Elspeth smacked the table out of anger. “Did your mother not feed you or something? You’re still not leveling up despite taking up all my resources? Are you an idiot?”

Callum and Harper were speechless at her demeanor.

“Look at how you’re playing! Even a baby is more competent than you!”

“You dare retort me? Think about how long you’ve stayed in the base to buy your equipment. I thought you were laying eggs!”

“How much did the opposition pay you to play like a fool? It’s so unfortunate that we have to play four against

six!”

“If you don’t know how to play, please donate your hands to charity. If you really want to, you can use your legs to play too.”

In the end, Elspeth still lost despite giving her all in that round.

Although Elspeth’s words had nothing to do with him, Callum still assumed that her words were directed at

him

Just as Callum stood up and prepared to leave, Elspeth called out to him, “Aren’t you still discussing business,” Mr. Winthrop? Why the rush?”

“Elspeth, you know what I mean.”

Elspeth rolled her eyes at him. “And? What do I have to do with it?”

Staring at her face, Callum asked, “Why are you looking for Harper today?”

“Why do you want to know? Do you always tell me what you want to do before looking for someone?” Elspeth retorted unreservedly.

Callum did not seem to mind her words. “If you wish to, 1 can tell you my schedule at any time.”

“No need. I have no use for it, anyway. I’m not interested in your affairs, Mr. Winthrop.”

Her words made Callum feel empty.

“Alright now, give it a break, you lovebirds…”

Harper’s words shocked both Callum and Elspeth. Fuming. Elspeth bellowed, “Harper, what did you say?!”

“What? Aren’t you two a pair?” Harper was having trouble understanding what was happening and only knew he got scolded.

“We are not a pair, and we will never be.”
