Love’s Perfect Match Chapter 72
Love’s Perfect Match Chapter 72
Nodding, Elspeth followed Callum to the ward Lydia’s mom was in.
Lydia was kneeling before the bed while crying for her mom.
“There, there. Don’t cry. I’ll bring your mom to another hospital.”
Callum carried Lydia’s mom on his back and laid her down on the back seat of his car before speeding
to another hospital with Lydia and Elspeth.
The hospital refused at first but later hesitantly reasoned that it was against the hospital’s policy after
noticing the fury in Callum’s eyes.
“I’ll give you three seconds to reconsider your decision. Are you going to save a life or lose your job?”
Knowing the man standing before him was the renowned Callum Winthrop, the doctor spoke more
gently.
“Mr. Winthrop, I—”
“Three.”
“Okay, okay. I’ll immediately send the patient to the emergency room, so please don’t get angry.”
The leading doctor waved his hand and beckoned the people behind him to send Lydia’s mom to the
Emergency Room.
While Elspeth and the others waited outside, Lydia was tense as she kept pacing around anxiously
while constantly glancing at the red sign above her.
“Lydia, you’ve been staying up all night to take care of your mom. Come over and take a rest.”
Elspeth felt distressed when she saw the dark circles under Lydia’s eyes.
“It’s alright, Elspeth. I want to wait for my mom.”
Lydia shook her head and refused to sit down.
The surgery took a long time. When the light above them went out, Elspeth’s legs had gone numb from
her sitting too long.
Lydia immediately sobered up and sprinted to the operating theater door, anxiously waiting for the
surgeon to
come out.
A male doctor with glasses came out and looked around, asking, “Who is the patient’s family member?”
Hearing that, Lydia dashed over and said, “Me. I am her daughter.”
“Sigh… Unfortunately, the patient wasn’t on the right meds after her previous surgery, which caused
her to vomit out blood. Moreover, that particular medication has seriously damaged the patient’s health,
so… I’m sorry. We did everything we could.”
Once the doctor finished talking, the atmosphere at the scene froze.
A long while later, Lydia’s voice and body trembled while she spoke. “She took the wrong medication?
How could that be? The doctors personally brought her medication every time, and I watched her take
them, so how could she have taken the wrong medication… Doctor, are you trying to fool me?”
Frowning, the doctor retorted, “Please don’t doubt a doctor’s judgment. My condolences to you, and
please remember to sign the notification of imminent death.”
“No, you’re lying. How could my mom be dead?!”
Lydia’s emotions were out of control She couldn’t believe that her mom would suddenly die after her
painstaking efforts to save and care for her!
Meanwhile, Elspeth also noticed something seemed off, and a bad feeling arose inside her
Could Arthur be behind all of this?
Elspeth quickly took out her phone to call Arthur, who finally picked up after she had made numerous
calls.
His voice sounded tired. “Why are you looking for me?”
“Arthur, did you secretly change Lydia’s mom’s medication? Is that what caused her sudden death?”
Shocked, Arthur asked, “She’s dead?”
“Don’t play dumb with me. You better have a good explanation, or I’ll never forgive you.”
As Elspeth looked at the dazed Lydia sitting limply on the ground, she had the urge to kill the culprit.
“Elspeth, how can you accuse me? I have nothing against Lydia’s mom, so why would I kill her? What’s
more, I intended to use her to keep you in check, so what good would I get if I killed her?”
Though Arthur was able to explain himself, Elspeth didn’t believe him.
At that moment, Elspeth received a message from Harper, saying that the patient whom she
transferred today wasn’t Lydia’s mom but a stranger with the same name.
Elspeth felt her legs go soft as she tremulously accused, “Arthur, it was you. You killed Lydia’s mom.”
Baffled, Arthur thought the situation wasn’t as simple as he had envisioned.
“I will never admit to things I didn’t do.”
After saying that, he hung up.
He gave Elspeth the wrong file because he didn’t want her to transfer the patient away that easily.
Who exchanged the medication for Lydia’s mom? Could it be…
He immediately figured it out and called Ophelia.
“Was it you?” Arthur’s voice sounded furious. “Was it you who changed the patient’s medication? She’s
dead now!”
Ophelia covered her mouth while giggling. “Arthur, what are you talking about? Who’s dead?”
“Ophelia, I agreed to cooperate with you because I thought we had the same goal, but if I find out
halfway that you’ve tricked me, our cooperation will cease immediately.”
Realizing that she had stepped out of line, Ophelia quickly reassured Arthur because she didn’t want to
lose such a capable ally. “To be honest, it isn’t that bad. You keep using that woman to keep Elspeth in
check, and knowing Elspeth’s personality, she will never forgive you for that. But if that woman’s dead,

evidence. Maybe later, her guilt might turn into love, and she’ll fall in love with you. Who knows?”
Ophelia’s words seemed reasonable, but Arthur still couldn’t tolerate her stepping out of line. “For now,
I won’t tell anyone about this incident, but if you ever do it again, I’ll make sure you’ll regret it.”
As Ophelia didn’t expect the usually gentle Arthur would make such a threat, she felt worried. “Alright,
Arthur. This is just ordinary medical malpractice, which can be solved by choosing a random nurse as
the scapegoat. Don’t worry about it.”
When Arthur heard that, he didn’t feel like continuing this topic, so he hung up
On the other hand, Elspeth was certain that Arthur had something to do with this matter, but the most
important thing now was to comfort Lydia.
“Lydia, how are you holding up?”
Lydia didn’t speak and stared blankly at the floor.
“Don’t be too sad, Lydia. Although your mom passed, her love for you remains. You see, a person’s life
is like at flowering period. Your mom’s time might have ended, but this situation might also be a relief
for her Don’t you think so?”
Elspeth hugged Lydia’s shoulders and softly comforted her.
Lydia suddenly burst into tears.
“My mom… she told me I should always be strong, but she left me all alone. I don’t know what to do…”
While she sobbed, she grabbed onto Elspeth’s sleeves.
Elspeth patted Lydia’s back while assuring her, “I’ll always be there for you. Your mom can rest in
peace.”
