Arthur shrugged in response as if accepting the answer.
“In that case, let’s go downstairs.”
She nodded expressionlessly, and Arthur extended his arm like a gentleman, leading her downstairs.
Their engagement party was held inside Winthrop Residence, and as Arthur had gradually become a benchmark in the high society of this place, many naturally showed up for his engagement.
Soon after Arthur led Elspeth downstairs, he had no time to look after her anymore as a group of people surrounded him.
Elspeth was happy to be left alone as well. She headed to a corner and started snacking away while sitting casually on the couch.
In no time, she finished an entire plate of snacks, and it was only when her fitted dress felt a little snug that she stopped eating. At that, she looked toward the glass of red wine next to her.
However, someone else took the glass of adult juice just as she reached for it.
“Are you really sure you should be drinking when you’re pregnant?”
Elspeth asked unhurriedly while looking at the person in front of her.
“So what? He’s not going to be welcomed anyway? So, what does it matter?”
Ginna took a gander at her and down the entire glass without a second thought.
“What’s wrong?”
Elspeth asked in bewilderment.
“Did Gilbert not find you?”
“How can he find me when I don’t want him to?”
Ginna took advantage of her tipsiness to release her long bottled-up frustration but hurriedly halted when she realized she seemed to have let on a little too much to Elspeth.
“Alright, don’t think about fishing for any information for me, and you can also forget about telling him.”
“Nah, this has nothing to do with me. This is between you two. Deal with it yourselves,”
said Elspeth nonchalantly as she reached for the other glass of liquor and savored it.
“Aren’t you two close?”
Ginna was surprised.
“And as far as I know, he still can’t get over you.”
“Whatever relationship it is you think he and I are in, we’re not.”
Elspeth frowned, not wanting to talk about it.
At that, Ginna ridiculed,
“Oh, Elspeth. I never thought a smart woman like you would have a dumb moment!”
“So?”
Elspeth tucked away her impatience.
“What’s your point in saying this now?”
Ginna stopped laughing abruptly and put on her resentful look.
“You think I really want to talk about this? If it isn’t because I found out your picture is living in his wallet, why do you think I’d run away while pregnant just to find out whether he loves me?”
Elspeth was stumped. She didn’t think Ginna had such a lowly side.
After coming to herself, she advised,
“But you’re carrying his child still. Why don’t you just go back to him.”
At that, Ginna chuckled wryly.
“Why should I? I want him to love me for me, not to trap him with a baby. If he doesn’t love me, he can forget about ever seeing the baby and me.”
Elspeth was somewhat shocked by her words.
Comparatively, Emma was really far beneath her little sister.
That said, Ginna seemed to be in a terrible mental state, and she might do something extreme that would affect the baby in her belly.
After all, the child was Gilbert’s and also related to her to a certain extent. So, she still tried to advise Ginna.
“Take good care of your baby. You’ll affect its growth if you get too emotional.”
“It’s none of your business!”
Ginna took a deep breath.
“We still haven’t settled our score yet. You don’t have to pretend to comfort me.”
What score? Emma? Elspeth gazed bafflingly at Ginna, and sure enough, hatred flashed across the latter’s eyes.
“I will certainly come after you two for what happened to my sister.”
The other person she was referring to was naturally Callum.
“Why don’t you do some digging about your sister instead? Find out what she’s really like,”
suggested Elspeth as she drank the last bit of wine. It seemed that Ginna wouldn’t listen to whatever she had to say anymore.
As much as Ginna didn’t like her sister, they were still related by blood, and she would always lean toward Emma no matter what.
Thinking about that, Ginna snorted disdainfully.
“I will naturally seek justice from you once I get to the bottom of it.”
Then, she placed the wine glass back onto the table and walked away.
…
Three minutes later, a cry for help came suddenly from another corner not far away.
“Help! Someone’s losing a lot of blood!”
“Don’t just stand there. Call the ambulance!”
For a moment, chaos enveloped the party.
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.
