Love's perfect match novel (Elspeth and Callum)
Love’s Perfect Match Chapter 118

Chapter 118

Elspeth knew what it was like to lose a father, so she immediately rejected Nicholas' idea.

"Let me stay behind. I can't let you stay no matter what." Blake looked at her and asked affectionately in a voice filled with reluctance, "You will remember me, right? I saved you twice."

After punching him, Elspeth retorted, "What nonsense are you talking about? It's not a matter of life and death yet. What if nothing happens?"

"Fine. I'll zip." He pouted. "No matter what, I'll stay behind. I've made my decision, so none of you can stop

me."

Noticing the situation, Nicholas sighed. "You're such a good kid. If only this never happened."

When Elspeth saw him sighing, she assured him. "It's fine, Mr. Joneson. Let's all calm down. What if the crane can take all five of us?"

The operator raised the crane again. After the Jonesons boarded the crane, Blake supported Elspeth and wanted to send her up the crane. However, she gave him a hard kick on the back. Immediately, she ignored Blake's shock and yelled at the people below, "We're done!"

Hearing that voice, the operator started the crane's engine and slowly moved away from the rollercoaster.

Blake anxiously wanted to get up but could not do so due to the shaking. 'Elspeth, what are you doing? Elspeth!"

"Blake, how can I face Mr. Winthrop if something happens to you?" She waved at him. "Alright, then. Take care of yourself. Perhaps... I can't be your manager anymore." Although her words sounded saddening, they were indeed words one would say during a life-and-death

situation.

She turned her head away and wiped the tears from the corner of her eye. Never would she have expected to die in a rollercoaster accident after numerous survivals. Suddenly, the carts began shaking violently. Elspeth held on to the seatbelt and thought of something before quietly unfastening it.

The people below were in a cold sweat as they watched the carts jolt violently.

"There's still someone up there!"

"What? What's that person going to do? Would that person die if something happens?"

"Of course, she would! I remember her being a young woman. What a shame! Gone too early."

"Call 911! What if there's a chance to save her?"

It was at that moment the train of carts shook again before half of them fell out of its tracks, dangling in midair due to the weight.

Someone on the ground shouted in surprise, "Oh, no. It's about to fall!"

"That's it. That young woman is about to die."

As they discussed it, the rollercoaster carts suddenly fell from the tracks!

Fortunately, the workers had transferred the passengers to a safe spot so the falling carts would not injure anyone.

When the carts plunged, they blew up a cloud of dust. The train of carts was not massive, so it did not cause

much of a stir upon impact. Moreover, the surrounding security personnel went over quickly and checked if there were any wounded or casualties. Someone screamed in shock, "There's no one here."

What? There's no one there?

Blake was stunned. "How could there be no one? My friend was up there! What do you mean no one?"

The security personnel carefully checked all the debris before announcing, "Really, there is no one here. You can check if you don't believe me."

Not wanting to argue with them, Blake instinctively looked up and was stunned by what he saw. "Elspeth is up there!"

You took me by surprise, Elspeth. You're safe on the track!

"Elspeth's over there. I see her! Sir, please send the crane over and bring her down!" When Lola saw Elspeth, she ran over and grabbed one of the security personnel before shaking his arm. Seeing such a cute girl asking for help, the security personnel smiled and nodded. "Don't worry, young lady. I will bring your friend down safely."

"Thank you so much, sir. Hell is paved with good Samaritans!"

The security personnel's smile froze. There's nothing wrong with that sentence, but why do I feel... weird about it?

Although the words sounded strange, the security personnel rescued Elspeth as quickly as he could.

Since she was afraid of heights and climbed up the tracks as fast as she could, she felt her body go soft when the carts fell and sank into unconsciousness. "Elspeth!" Blake ran over and carried her in his arms. When he saw her ghastly face that resembled the dead, he felt a pang in his heart.

"I-I'm fine."

At the sight of her stubbornness, he caressed her cheek. "Alright, save your breath. I'm bringing you to the hospital."

She shook her head. "I'm not going to the hospital. I've had enough of that place. I'll be fine after resting somewhere."

Nicholas came over from the side and offered, "How about we bring Miss Lynwood to the villa we rented? It's not far from here. About a five-minute walking distance."

A hesitant expression appeared on her face. "That's too much trouble. I think I should just replace a motel nearby."

Lola grabbed Elspeth's hand and stubbornly persuaded her. "Elspeth, come to our place. It's huge, so you can get a good rest."

"Since Lola has so sincerely invited you, you should stop rejecting us, Miss Lynwood. You're our savior, so save the formalities." Lola's mom, Anya Hopkins, was a sensible person. When she saw Elspeth's state, she joined her husband in persuading her. "Alright, then. Thank you so much."

Later, Elspeth got into Nicholas' car and headed toward the Jonesons' villa.

Blake brought her upstairs to a guest room on the east side. Right after they entered, she struggled to get out

of his embrace.

"What's the matter? Is it that bad to be in my arms?"

Elspeth rebuked, "I'm just not used to being carried around."

Suddenly, she was reminded of a familiar embrace and scent whenever he hugged her. When she thought of that man, she felt uncomfortable inside.

"Well, you stay here and rest while I head downstairs."

Nodding, she replied, "Okay."

After sending Blake away, Elspeth felt her world had finally quieted down. Now that she was away from the bustling environment of the amusement park, she did not feel as sick anymore. Besides the shock of the fall and her fear of heights, she did not suffer any physical injuries.

Just as she had expected, she saw the incident at the amusement park had made the headlines when she looked at her phone. Some of the entertainment reporters had even concealed the truth and described a photo of her lying on the tracks as her being scared to death, literally.

Feeling speechless, she muttered, "These reporters do like bending the truth."

She was annoyed and was about to call Harper to remove the news when she received a call.
