Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me?

Chapter 352 I Did It

The crowd swarmed in that direction, and an ominous feeling suddenly crept up to Elspeth, and she

followed the crowd only to find Ginna lying on the ground with blood pooling between her legs.

Using her medical experience, Elspeth believed Ginna was likely suffering from a miscarriage. With

that, she immediately dialed 911 and then felt her breathing.

It's clear that she's suffering from a miscarriage, yet she's showing signs of poisoning!

"Elspeth..." Ginna called out to her with slightly narrowed eyes while fighting her consciousness.

"What is it?" Elspeth leaned her ear against Ginna's lips to hear better.

"Please, save my child. Please, I beg you..." Ginna pleaded as she reached for her belly.

"Everything will have to wait until we reach the hospital and hear what the doctor has to say. I can't do

anything right now."

After hearing Elspeth's words, Ginna seemed unable to hold on anymore as her eyes gradually lost

focus, and she passed out eventually.

The ambulance arrived soon after, and Elspeth and Arthur couldn't care less about the engagement

party anymore. What was important right then was sending Ginna to the hospital.

Just like that, the engagement was postponed.

After they arrived at the hospital's emergency room, Elspeth stood guard anxiously at the door.

Arthur, on the other hand, was rather impassive. "What are you so worried about? It's not like that's

your child in there," he said, looking at Elspeth while leaning against the bench.

However, it only annoyed her further when it seemed that he wanted bigger drama.

"If something bad happens to the child, given Ginna's vengeful personality, she'll be bound to do

something again."

To that, Arthur crossed his leg and fiddled with his phone while saying, "If she wants to seek revenge,

then let her be. You don't have to worry. If she does anything to you, I won't let her get away with it.

You're my fiancée now, after all."

Sure, making sarcastic remarks is going to help with the situation.

Having done talking to him, Elspeth directed her attention back to the lit-up 'in operation' sign above her

head.

Very quickly, the light switched off, and a doctor walked out. "Is the patient's family here?" he asked

after sweeping his gaze across the space.

At that, Elspeth came forward. "Her family's not here at the moment. I can represent them for now."

The doctor sighed and shook his head when he saw how anxious she looked. "I'm sorry. The child's

gone."

"Is there really no other way?" Elspeth's heart sank.

"She was poisoned with a deadly substance, and its toxins had already spread to her uterus. If you

forcibly keep the baby, he will be born with the toxin, and worst, he might be born deformed."

Elspeth locked her brows into a tight furrow in response. Seconds later, she said firmly, "Got it. Thank

you, Doctor."

Ginna, on the other hand, had been transferred to the general ward when her condition improved after

receiving treatment, and a nurse was feeding her medicine when Elspeth visited her.

As she looked at the poor young woman's now flat belly, a hint of pity flashed across her eyes, and

when she placed the fruits she had brought onto the table, Ginna swept it all away before she even had

the chance to set it down properly.

"Get out!" she screamed, startling the nurse, causing the latter to jolt and nearly drop the medicine.

Ginna's anger was through the roof, and when she saw Elspeth, it was like she had found a target to

vent it all out. "I said scram!"

"I know you're upset because you've lost your child," Elspeth said plainly. "But it has nothing to do with

me."

"You're still denying it even when it has come to this?! Elspeth Lynwood, do you even have a heart?!"

Ginna's hatred blew up like a balloon as she felt her belly. "You must've drugged me to kill my child

because you can't stand seeing me live a good life!"

She couldn't think of anyone else apart from this woman who'd want to harm her.

"Tell me then. What's my motive?"

Motive...

"You have so many! You must be livid because I said I want to get back at you guys because of my

sister. Besides, you like Gilbert too, do you not?!"

Elspeth was visibly taken aback when Ginna brought Gilbert up, and the latter turned malicious

suddenly as though she had gotten leverage on Elspeth. "I knew it! You love Gilbert. That's why you

killed my child!"

For some reason, Elspeth found it amusing. "I've long gotten over him. Yes, I used to like him; I admit

that. But he's already history to me."

However, Ginna had already let hatred consume her a long time ago. There was no way she could

listen to Elspeth's reasons.

"Who knows if you're lying or not?! So many men circle around you every day. Any man you like

suddenly has a baby with another woman, and that'll deal a blow to your ego. That must be why you

retaliated against me."

At that, Elspeth rolled her eyes. That's it. She's a gone case! She's behaving like someone has

slammed her head with a brick.

"I take back what I said about you being smart. Your imagination sure is wild. Are you sure your cranial

nerve wasn't affected by your pregnancy? You should get it checked."

Ginna was already in a terrible mood when she had just lost her child, and how after hearing Elspeth's

words, she directed her firepower at Elspeth even if it wasn't the latter's doing.

"You just have to be insufferably arrogant, don't you, Lynwood?! Alright, fine, go ahead and kill me if

you're so capable, or I will come at you for the rest of my life!"

Great, she's gone nuts now!

Elspeth knew the young woman would only loathe her even more if she continued to stay. Hence, she

ignored Ginna's words and turned to leave.

"Hey!" Ginna suddenly called out to her, and Elspeth turned around, asking placidly as she gazed into

Ginna's eyes, "Yes?"

"Don't tell Gilbert just yet." Pain flashed across Ginna's eyes as she felt her belly.

As much as Elspeth felt bad for the young woman, the whole incident had nothing to do with her, and

she didn't need to feel bad for Ginna either.

"This is your issue. I won't go to him about this." With that, Elspeth left the ward.

Arthur was waiting at the hospital's main entrance, and seeing that she didn't look right when she came

out, he asked, "She gave you a hard time again, didn't she?"

"Why do you care?"

None of this would've happened if it weren't for the stupid engagement party. Hence, Elspeth felt vexed

even just looking at Arthur's face.

"You're my fiancée. Of course, I have to stand up for you if she bullies you."

It was like he didn't care about her tantrums as he ruffled her hair as he pleased. Of course, his hand

was swatted away with disdain.

"Alright, I'll let you in on a little secret."

"What secret?" Elspeth glanced side-eyed at him.

"Actually, I was the one who poisoned the baby in her belly," said the man with a creepy grin.

It was evident that Elspeth had a hard time registering what she had just heard as she only appeared

shocked after a long time. "Why would you do that?!"

Arthur and Ginna had no personal grudges. In fact, he even used to like her sister Emma...
