Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me

Chapter 117

After Elspeth resigned, she focused all her attention on taking care of Blake so that he could get discharged as soon as possible.

During that period, she also visited Lola’s ward but found her asleep. She did not want to disturb her, so she gave the gingerbread cookies she had made to Lola’s father, Nicholas Joneson.

While Blake was hospitalized, Elspeth had kept on a tight leash. Now that he was finally discharged, he desperately wanted to bring her out to have fun.

“Elspeth, how about we go to the amusement park today? It’s been long since I’ve been to one!” He lowered his head pitifully, seemingly eager to go there.

Since Elspeth had matured early, she lost interest in places like amusement parks ever since she was young. Therefore, she immediately rejected his offer. “I’m not going. You can go there by yourself if you want to.”

“Please! Can’t you accompany me there? I was injured because of you, yet you don’t even care about your savior. You’re such a heartless woman…” He deliberately acted miserable by blinking his watery eyes, rendering him pitiful.

When she heard that, she knew he was using that matter to guilt trip her again. She gritted her teeth and rebuked, “You could have chosen not to save me!”

Noticing her anger, Blake immediately surrendered. “I’m sorry. Don’t be angry. How could I bear to leave you danger’s way? I would even give my life to save you.”

“Blake, you’ve been in the entertainment industry for so long and have seen all sorts of women, but why do you keep pestering me?”

That was something Elspeth could not figure out. She was clueless as to what she had done to attract his attention.

Blake was still goofing around but instantly became upright after hearing what she said. “The thing about liking someone is that it’s all about feelings. Even if I’ve seen many kinds of beautiful women in the industry, I only have you in my heart.”

Although it made her cringe, what he said was justifiable. In the end, she could not stand his pestering and ⚫ followed him to the amusement park. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“We’re starting work tomorrow, so of course, we have to have some fun before returning to work. Come on, Elspeth. Let’s head over to the rollercoaster. I love that.” While saying that, he eagerly looked at the carts that went by above his head.

“I’m afraid of heights.”

Blake tugged on Elspeth’s sleeve and swayed left and right. “Pwease. Just accompany me for one ride.”

“No, I’m not going, even if my life depends on it.”

At that moment, a child who happened to pass by heard her words and commented disdainfully. “Mommy, that young lady is such a scaredy cat. She isn’t even brave enough to ride a rollercoaster.”

That rendered Elspeth speechless.

“Look, even a child is mocking you. Come on and play with me.”

Gulping, she looked at the carts high above the sky and secretly walled inside. Fine. I’ll go!

As such, the two got on the cart and fastened their seatbelts. Elspeth felt terrified when she felt her legs suspending in mid-air. What am I going to do? I suddenly regret my decision….

“Don’t be afraid. If you are, just hold onto my hand to ease your fear.” Blake beamed while stretching his hand

out and placing it on the back of her hand.

Then, the carts slowly moved forward while her heart thumped at the same pace. Whenever they reached a turn, she would lose control of her emotions. Her face would turn pale, and her stomach rolled as if she was about to puke.

Suddenly, the high-speed carts came to a stop.

At first, everyone thought the sudden halt was because of the storyline and were excitedly waiting for it to continue moving. Five minutes had passed, yet the carts remained stationary. It was then that everyone began to panic.

“Oh, God! Has the machine broken down?”

“That can’t be true, right? Are we stuck here?”

“Stop talking and be careful of falling. No one can help you if you do.”

“I’m still young. I don’t want to die!”

“Mommy…”

The people in the carts began voicing their concerns, and most were vividly terrified./

Meanwhile, Blake noticed his partner’s discomfort and asked, “Elspeth, are you alright?”

“I’m fine. I just feel like puking from all the shaking.”

He felt guilty and apologized, “I’m sorry. I thought it would be fine. I didn’t think you’d get sick from the ride and that we’d encounter such a thing. I shouldn’t have brought you here.”

“It’s fine. I agreed to accompany you here. Just keep calm. We’ll be fine once the workers find out about this, so don’t get too anxious and keep yourself safe.”

Although Elspeth was feeling utterly distressed, she still forced down her discomfort and assured Blake.

Meanwhile, the workers below finally discovered the rollercoaster had malfunctioned and quickly arranged for a crane to bring the passengers down.

As everyone was transported down one by one, Blake finally felt relieved. “Elspeth, we’re almost safe. I’ll bring you somewhere to rest after we get down.”

She nodded and ‘suddenly heard a familiar voice.

“Daddy, is there something wrong with the ride?”

Barely managing to turn her head, she looked over and saw it was Lola.

Afraid that Lola might get traumatized from this incident, Nicholas reassured her, “No, that’s impossible. This is just a new kind of performance the workers are displaying. Isn’t it cool?”

“Yes, but it feels a little terrifying. What if something happens while they are bringing us down?” The girl was not ignorant and felt her heart sink while looking down at the ground below.

“That won’t happen. The workers are very experienced, so there won’t be any problems.”

Elspeth could not help but call out to the little girl. “Lola.”

. Lola was still looking at the ground below when she heard her name being called. Then, she looked up in

surprise. “Elspeth, you’re here too?”

“Yes, I’m here to have fun.”

Nicholas smiled. “What a coincidence.”

“Yeah, it is.” Elspeth nodded with a smile.

“Elspeth, the gingerbread cookies you made were so delicious. Can you make some more for me? But… I’m going back to Blaydal soon and won’t be staying long in Damoria.”

Elspeth could not help but grin. “Well, since you like them so much, I’ll send some over to you.”

The crane brought a bunch of people away, leaving only Blake, Elspeth, and the three Jonesons in the cart.

At that moment, one of the workers from below yelled, “The rollercoaster is about to fall. We can only take four more people. Have you decided which four will be coming down?”

As soon as Elspeth heard that, she immediately paled. If they can only take four more, does that mean one of us will get hurt?

“Why don’t you guys head down? I’m a man, so I should stay.” Nicholas was a responsible man, so he came forward and offered to stay behind.

“No, you’re Lola’s dad. What will she do if something happens to you?”
