Love’s Perfect Match Chapter 112

“How could you be Sonny Schwartz’s protégé? He’s been living in seclusion for a decade. I heard that

he went abroad to take on a professorship at a medical university. How did you get to know him?”

“I studied abroad. It’s not surprising that we crossed paths.”

Taking on a professorship? Sonny is just a lazy bum living his retirement life in a city abroad.

“I heard that the country hasn’t found a breakthrough in AIDS treatment. What if your hospital takes the

lead?” Elspeth made an enticing offer.

“AIDS? It’s an incurable disease. Girl, you are too young. Putting aside the legitimacy of your

relationship with Sonny Schwartz, you have to know that no one could cure AIDS after so many years.

You’re making it up just to get into the operating room.” The doctor looked gleeful for seeing through

Elspeth’s “trick,” or at least that was what she thought.

“I am not bluffing. The treatment for AIDS has gone through new developments overseas, and we have

cases of full recovery. Doctor, I believe you know right from wrong. If I go in there and save a life, not

only will you save a patient, but you will also open up a new opportunity for the hospital, and for that,

you would be promoted accordingly. Even if I couldn’t save Blake, Callum is here to witness the

process, and I will shoulder the responsibility. What is there to worry about?”

Elspeth calculated the pros and cons, and the doctor seemed to sway in front of the offer as she shot a

look at Callum, waiting for him to say something.

“Let her in.”

Hearing that, the doctor felt reassured and got her staff to bring Elspeth the scrubs and mask. Then,

she led Elspeth into the operating room.

An eternity later, the operating room sign was still turned on. The hospital staff went in and out multiple

times to deliver medicinal herbs.

Two hours later, the operating room sign was finally switched off. Callum’s mind snapped back to reality

as he stared intensely at the closely shut door, awaiting the exit of Elspeth and the doctors.

The door was opened, and Elspeth emerged first, looking tired and walking with an unsteady gait. She

seemed to have overexerted herself, but he could not read her expression.

“Elspeth, how did it go?”

She stared into his eyes and beamed. “He’s safe.”

His anxious heart was finally calmed. “That’s great. I’ll send you back to rest in your ward. Let’s discuss

this further when you wake un It nained him to spp her oyhausted

“That’s fine. I need to look after him in his ward because he is at risk of hemorrhage at any time.”

He frowned. “You could always ask a nurse to do that. Else, we could get someone from the family to

look after him. Your body is weak. Can’t you rest now?”

She rolled her eyes at him. “I am the only one who knows his condition the best because I operated on

him. A nurse does not know how to spot his adverse reaction if there’s any. If they miss the best time to

respond, Blake would be in trouble.”

Although she was right, her explanation made him uneasy. “Why do you care for him so much?”

Staring at him, she couldn’t help but snicker, “He got hurt when he saved me from Ophelia. Even if I

have to give up my life, I will still save him.”

“You said you saw me hugging Alaina. Could you tell me who you were with at that time?”

Elspeth’s silence confirmed his suspicion. “You were with Blake, right?”

Her silence was equal to admission. She did not want to argue with him. Not long after, Blake was

wheeled out, and she followed him into his ward without as much as giving Callum another look.

Callum, who got left behind, was taken aback and speechless.

In the ward, Elspeth looked at Blake with guilt. His eyes were tightly shut, and his lips were pale.

Had she not sent him the text, he would have been filming happily on the set instead of lying in the

patient’s

bed lifelessly right now.

Since she had used the best herbs for hemorrhage and created a detox prescription from Sonny

Schwartz’s teaching, Blake should have been awake by now.

Why is he still unconscious? Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

As if he heard her thoughts, Blake stirred in the bed. His fingers trembled a little, and he opened his

eyes in the next second. “Elspeth…”

She snapped out of her daydreaming and quickly went up to him. “Hey, what’s wrong?”

After he confirmed that Elspeth was fine-other than looking exhausted-he felt more reassured.

“Nothing. I just wanted to know if you’re okay. I’m relieved now.”

She rolled her eyes at him. “That is not a valid reason to save me and endanger yourself! You’re an

adult, Blake! Can’t you take good care of yourself? Why would you save someone who has nothing to

do with you?”

He took her words seriously. “What do you mean you have nothing to do with me? Elspeth, to me, you

are as important as my dad and my mom. I know I always treat you carelessly with an interest that

comes and pres

”

Her mind went blank when she heard the confession.

“Okay now. You must still be in recovery and not in your right mind. We can discuss this again when

you’re feeling better. Are you thirsty? I’ll get you some water.” She dodged the topic of conversation

and got up to leave. However, she bumped into Callum at the door. He had a long face and appeared

to be in a foul mood.

“Look after him for me. I’ll be back soon.” She waved the mug in her hand awkwardly, but Callum did

not reply. After she left, Callum and Blake were the only ones left in the ward.

With a sour face, Callum glanced at Blake and blurted out, “I overheard your entire confession just

now.”

Blake was not embarrassed at all. With a smile, he looked at Callum and said, “What’s wrong, Callum?

I’m confessing to the girl I love. I’m not forcing Elspeth to be with me. Why the long face?”

“You knew that she is your future sister-in-law.”

Blake flashed him a sarcastic smile. “In the past, I would have believed that you would treat her well.

But from the moment I saw how upset she looked in the past few days because of you, I finally realized

that my assumption was wrong. I should’ve never backed out. She will never be happy with you.”

“And how could you be so sure of that?”
