Love's Perfect Match

Love’s Perfect Match Chapter 100

Sonny didn’t answer her. Instead, he wiped away his tears and left sobbing.

“Don’t freak out, Callum. That’s just how he is.” Elspeth turned around and gave Callum an apologetic

smile.

“It’s fine. Mr. Schwartz… has got quite a cute character.”

After all, Sonny was his mother’s savior. Therefore, even though such behavior of Sonny was puzzling.

Callum couldn’t possibly make negative remarks about him.

“Alright. We will stay by Mrs. Winthrop’s side tonight and wait for her to wake up. It’s the last day, so we

must not let anything else happen to her.”

At that, Callum nodded and said, “Okay.”

Nonetheless, they were fortunate, for no one came to harass them again this evening.

The next morning, Callum, asleep, suddenly felt a slight disturbance coming from his palm.

And since Callum had always been a light sleeper, he instantly woke up and stared at the warm hand in

his palm. Then, his gaze trailed upward, and he saw Margot, who had been in a comatose state all the

time, slightly curling up and gently moving her fingers in his hand.

Even so, Margot still had yet to open her eyes.

Elspeth, too, sensed Callum’s movements and woke up after him.

When she saw Margot’s fingers move rhythmically, Elspeth showed a surprised expression. “It looks

like Mrs. Winthrop is about to wake up soon.”

As soon as she said that, Margot’s eyes trembled hard before she gradually opened them.

“I” Margot wanted to speak but couldn’t as her throat felt extremely sore. At this moment, she, who

hadn’t drunk water for days, was like a water-deficit plant that might wither to death at any time. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“Water…”

Elspeth immediately poured her a glass of water and gave it to her. “Mrs. Winthrop, how are you feeling

now? Are you alright?”

Looking at Elspeth, Margot felt that her disarrayed memory was starting to awaken. Her memory traced

back to the day when she witnessed Ophelia, who had always been her darling, suddenly show such

an eerie expression and inflicted harm on her. Ophelia actually pushed me down the stairs!

“I’m fine. I’m fine…”

“You are a fine young lady. I have misjudged you.”

Elspeth was instantly off the hook as soon as these words escaped Margot’s lips.

“Mom, it was Elspeth who saved you.” After hearing Margot’s words, Callum couldn’t help but feel guilty

when he remembered how he had defended and wholeheartedly stood up for Ophelia in the past.

“Oh, Callum. It’s all my fault. I misjudged Elspeth and even constantly treated her badly. I was wrong.”

As Margot held Elspeth’s hand, she couldn’t help shedding tears.

“It’s fine, Mrs. Winthrop. Right now, all you have to do is to have a good rest and take care of your

health. We can talk about this after your health has recovered,” Elspeth gently comforted Margot. Just

then, the door suddenly opened before she could say any more words.

“Callum, I’m here to visit Mrs. Winthrop…” Ophelia walked in with a basket of fruits. However, before

she could finish expressing her polite remarks, she saw Margot, who had gained consciousness.

Ophelia’s facial expression instantly changed. “Mrs. Winthrop, y-you’re awake?”

“Yeah. What’s the matter, Ophelia? What’s with that face? Aren’t you happy to see me? Aren’t you glad

that I’m awake?” Margot regained her composure and asked Ophelia with a smile.

“Of course, I’m happy. It’s a good thing that you’re awake. I…”

At this moment, Ophelia was so shocked that she couldn’t even speak. Now I really regret coming here

at such a wrong time. Then again, why did Mrs. Winthrop suddenly wake up? Arthur had assured me

that it was

absolutely impossible for Mrs. Winthrop to wake up.

“Okay. Don’t worry. I know what you’re afraid of.” Calmly taking a sip of tea, Margot added, “Ophelia,

am I not treating you well enough?”

After all, Margot was a woman who had gone through numerous hardships for decades in a wealthy

family. Therefore, never once did it cross her mind that she would be set up. Now that she was no

longer fond of Ophelia, her attitude toward Ophelia, too, had become fewer petals and more thorns.

“Mrs. Winthrop, I…

As Elspeth looked at Ophelia, who was trembling like a leaf, she couldn’t help but laugh. “Ophelia, why

don’t you just confess your crime? Isn’t it tiring to put on a show?”

Ophelia lowered her head aggrievedly. “I really don’t know what you’re talking about, Elspeth. I’m just

here to visit Mrs. Winthrop. I can leave if you don’t like seeing me here. There’s no need for you to treat

me like this.”

Everyone understood the hidden meaning in Ophelia’s words. They knew she merely wanted to find an

excuse to sneak away after realizing she couldn’t stay here any longer.

Winthrop had been there for you ever since you were a child. Don’t you feel the slightest bit of

gratitude?”

As Ophelia didn’t expect that Elspeth would shed all pretenses of cordiality, panic abruptly crept into

her heart as she looked at Elspeth’s solemn expression. “I didn’t. It was you who pushed Mrs. Winthrop

down the stairs. It has nothing to do with me!”

Ophelia still tried to defend herself even until this very moment.

“Since you’re not willing to admit your mistake, don’t point the fingers of blame if no one is willing to

forgive you when the time comes.”

As she spoke, Elspeth turned around and looked at Margot, who was sitting on the hospital bed. With a

smile, she asked, “Mrs. Winthrop, can you tell us what exactly happened that day?”

“The person who pushed me down the stairs was Ophelia!”

In an instant, Ophelia’s eyes widened in shock. “What evidence do you guys have for saying I pushed

Mrs. Winthrop?”

“Evidence? Isn’t the witness right here in this room? What other evidence do you need?” Elspeth

squinted her eyes. I can’t believe Ophelia is resorting to being this unreasonable now that she’s

exposed.

Ophelia sneered, “Why must your words be the end of this matter? I have witnesses to prove my

innocence

too.”

“Fine then. Find the witness. If you can find the so-called evidence, then I will apologize to you and

never set foot in Damoria again for the rest of my life.” Elspeth talked tough to Ophelia, cornering her.

With that, Ophelia braced herself to make a phone call. After a while, Arthur, who wore a white coat,

walked

When Arthur saw that Margot had woken up, a glint of a scheming look was visible in his eyes before it

was

replaced with a gentle smile.

“Mom, you’re awake?”

There was a hint of warmth in Margot’s eyes when she saw Arthur.

“I just woke up not long ago. By the way, why did you come here all of a sudden?”

“Ophelia gave me a call just now. She asked me to come over, saying that you have woken up. So, I’m

here to check on you.”

“Arthur, so you are Ophelia’s so-called witness?”

When Flsneth saw the interaction between Arthur and Onhelia she was even more ontimistic that the

two of

“Witness? What witness?” Arthur was confused. There was a trace of confusion in his eyes as he

looked at the pleading expression on Ophelia’s face, acting like he didn’t get it.

Ophelia grabbed Arthur’s hand and pleaded, “Arthur, I called you here because I want you to prove my

innocence. I couldn’t be the one who pushed Mrs. Winthrop down the stairs at all, right?”

As Arthur was somewhat fastidious when it came to skinship, he backed away slightly when he saw her

grabbing his hand. A trace of disgust flashed in his eyes as he said, “How am I able to prove your

innocence? Ophelia, I didn’t even witness the incident with my own eyes, and I don’t have any

evidence either. How am I supposed to help you?”
