Hiding Behind Her Superficiality

Chapter 295

She can’t have the Soulsaver Pill. That’s invaluable. Sonny turned away. “I would’ve said yes to anything else, but not to this one.”

“Why?” Elspeth frowned.

“Because I only have one Soulsaver Pill left. I used one to save your life three years ago, and this is the only one I have left. I won’t give you that.” Sonny winced at the thought of giving her the last Soulsaver Pill. I can’t believe she would ask for something priceless without even blinking.

“A life is on the line! I checked on Callum, and he’s an inch away from death. At this rate, he won’t survive a month!”

Sonny finally looked serious. “He’s not going to survive a month? Let me see him.” Sonny checked on Callum as well, and he confirmed that Elspeth was telling the truth. “But this is my last Soulsaver Pill. If you use it on him, then we won’t have any for you.”

Oh yeah. I also need treatment as well. She smiled bitterly. “It’s alright. We can figure something out as I still have a year to live, but if we don’t save him right now, then he won’t survive the month.” I can’t let him die.

“Very well. If that is your choice, then I won’t stop you.” Sonny took a deep breath, his eyes filled with sorrow. Then he took out a black pill from his medical kit and stuffed it into Callum’s mouth.

However, Callum, as if knowing what would happen, refused to gulp the pill.

“He’s not swallowing. Does he know? Well, this is weird.” Sonny was surprised for a moment, then he said, “If the pill melts in his mouth, it’ll reduce its efficacy.”

Elspeth darted ahead and, before anyone could react, kissed Callum, much to everyone’s surprise. They thought this was inappropriate, but Elspeth ignored them. She pushed the pill with her tongue,

trying to force it down Callum’s throat, but he refused to take it.

The pill was melting and getting smaller over time. Left with no choice, Elspeth crushed it and shoved it down his throat. The effects weren’t great, but it worked. Callum finally gulped the pill.

Everyone waited for him to wake up, but Callum didn’t move. It seemed like he was dead.

Even Sonny was starting to question the pill. “What’s going on? It should’ve worked in three minutes.”

A frown furrowed Elspeth’s brow. “You made the pill, didn’t you? Don’t tell me you’ve forgotten how it works.”

Sonny blushed. “Maybe I did forget.”

And then they heard the sound of coughs echoing in the air. Elspeth turned around, and Callum was already getting up, though he was coughing.

Margot and Elias stopped talking, then they both turned around. “You’re awake!” said Margot.

“Yes.” Callum smiled weakly.

Elspeth stared at him, tears welling up in her eyes. “Callum.”

Callum turned around, but his gaze was cold and aloof.

Elspeth froze when she saw his gaze. “What’s wrong?”

Why is he so distant? Elspeth was at a loss. “What’s wrong? Are you mad at me? I didn’t mean to—”

“I’m not mad at you, Miss Lynwood. I don’t think we’re that close.” Callum covered his mouth and started coughing violently.

Elspeth couldn’t believe it. She looked at Sonny, her eyes filled with confusion.

Sonny looked baffled as well. “Maybe it’s a side effect. He probably lost his memories.”

I don’t think so. “But he just called me Miss Lynwood. He still remembers me.” This wasn’t what Elspeth expected. She would rather Callum yell at her than just forget her entirely. She turned her attention to Callum again, still in disbelief. “Do you know who I am, Callum?”

Callum nodded. “Yes.”

“Do you remember our relationship, then?” Elspeth didn’t think he would forget her. He didn’t forget anything, including her name. There’s no way he would forget the bond we share.

Callum hesitated for a moment, then he answered, “Yes.”

Surprise filled Elspeth’s eyes. “Really? So, you do remem—”

However, her surprise was replaced by despondency immediately. Callum seemed to have lost all feelings for her. He wasn’t even fazed, even though he knew they shared a great past. He didn’t love her anymore.

Sonny clicked his tongue. “Okay, so he didn’t lose his memory. He just lost his love for you. Odd. Didn’t think my pill had that kind of effect.”

Not the time for jokes, old man. She stared at Callum silently. “Do you still love me?” she asked coolly, her voice tinged with disappointment.

Callum was in a state of confusion as well. He knew this woman was his fiancée, and he could still remember everything that had happened in their relationship, but he just felt nothing for her. “No,” he answered honestly.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Elspeth knew this was not his fault. He didn’t mean to forget about her, but still, the answer pained her. Elspeth took a deep breath and forced a smile. “I don’t mind. As long as you still want to be with me, we can solve everything else with time.” I’ll work my hardest to make him remember our love. As long as he wants to.

Callum spoke indifferently, not unlike a robot. “Of course.” He felt nothing for her, but she was the woman he chose, and he wouldn’t abandon her just like that.

Elspeth noticed the offhand attitude, and it saddened her.

Margot was worried, but Elias flew into a rage. “He’s already forgotten all about your relationship, so why do you still want to be with him? To suffer?”
