Love’s Perfect Match Chapter 287

It hurts… It hurts.Elspeth opened her eyes and found herself lying in a magnificent room. Everything

around her was shining gold and she thought she had entered a room made of gold. She remembered

that she had jumped into the sea before she woke up. Unfortunately, she was not a strong swimmer

and passed out after swallowing some water. Although she was lying on the bed, she still felt slightly

dizzy, and the room seemed to spin around her.But… Why am I here now?Not long after she opened

her eyes, and before she even had time to move, she heard a commotion coming from outside the

door. She immediately became alert and her hand under the quilt reached out to touch the dagger that

was kept by her hip, only to find that someone had changed her clothes at some point when she was

unconscious.Creak…The door was pushed open, and a pair of white sneakers came into view. Looking

up, she saw a young man dressed in gray sweatpants, a white shirt, and a blue and white striped

jacket. He looked like an athletic and cheery man. When Elspeth saw his face, she was immediately

dumbfounded.“Edmund, why are you here?”Truth be told, this man looked exactly like Edmund but in a

different style of clothes! She actually wondered if Edmund had two sides to him. He was usually

dressed in a well-fitted suit and leather shoes, but now he had become an athletic and sporty

guy.“Edmund? Are you mistaking me for someone else?”Elspeth rolled her eyes. “Do you think I won’t

recognize you? Tell me where I am. I’m really shocked!”“Edmund” came over, leaned against the bed,

and reached out to touch her forehead. “Let me see. Isn’t the fever gone? Why are you still talking

nonsense?”Elspeth pushed his hand away and glared at him fiercely. “What are you doing, Edmund?

Don’t you know that a man and a woman mustn’t be so close together? I asked you a question. Where

am I?!”“Edmund” sighed helplessly, put his hands in his pockets, and sat on a chair by the side of the

room. “This is a transoceanic freighter. We are going to Sunholde soon. Also, let me say it one last

time, my name is not Edmund. My name is Elias, Elias Cole. Are you sure your brain is fine?”Elspeth

thought her head was going to explode.Sunholde? Freighter? Elias Cole? Is he really not

Edmund?“Can you tell me the details of how you found me?”Seeing Elspeth wanting to know more,

Elias smiled and crossed his legs. “To be honest, this matter has nothing to do with me. You suddenly

surfaced on the ocean. Maybe, you drowned and became unconscious somewhere. But when I found

you, you were holding onto a wooden stake, and the men on the ship who are good swimmers pulled

you up.”“Then how long have I been unconscious?”“We’re not far from Sunholde. The freighter will

arrive in 10-14 days. So, this means that you have been unconscious for five days.”Five days?Although

Elspeth was shocked at this fact, she still calmed down.“Thank you. I see.”She didn’t know how Callum

was doing at the moment, so she needed to get in touch with him as soon as possible. “Can you lend

me your phone?”Elias rolled his eyes. “Miss, do you have any common sense? This is the ocean. The

signal here is really bad. How are you going to make a call without a strong connection?”Elspeth could

only forget it.“By the way, my clothes…” She glanced at the man in front of her and frowned. “Are you

the one who changed my clothes?” Elias choked at her words. “What are you talking about? Didn’t you

say it yourself that a man and a woman mustn’t be so close together? How could I change your clothes

for you? Although you look pretty, I’m not that starved.”“That’s good then.” Elspeth wrapped the quilt

tightly around herself.“Okay, take a good rest first, and when the ship arrives in Sunholde, I will take

you to the embassy and let them take you back.”Although this man was a bit annoying, he was kind

and helped to make arrangements for her. A trace of gratitude emerged in Elspeth’s heart as she said,

“Okay, then thank you in advance.”“You’re welcome. It’s good karma to save a life. I’m doing myself a

favor.”After saying that, Elias stood up and prepared to go out.“Wait a minute. I have another

question.”Still unable to hold back herself, Elspeth glanced around the room again, then asked

curiously, “Why is this room built so magnificently? Is the owner a lover of gold?”Although Elias was

wearing plain-looking clothes, those clothes were private creations of internationally renowned

designers she was familiar with, and they were outrageously expensive. As such, he must have an Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

unusual identity. He was probably a friend or relative of the owner of the ship.Elias burst out laughing. “I

don’t know about that. My dad designed it this way himself. It’s really tacky to me.”When he said this,

Elias raised his eyebrows slightly with a trace of obvious impatience.“Okay, then there’s nothing else.

But please send me some food on credit first. I’ll pay you back when I return to Chars.”Elspeth didn’t

want to owe others favors.“I almost forgot that you haven’t eaten in a long time. Okay, I’ll find someone

to deliver the food to you right away. This amount of money is nothing to me, so you don’t have to pay

me back.”Then, Elias walked out.Elspeth sat on the bed, and after a short moment, food was brought

to her. The main and side dishes tasted decent. After she finished the food in a few mouthfuls, she felt

warmth rushing through her body, so she began to move a little. She was thankful that Elias still kept

her around even though she hadn’t moved for five days. Anyone else would think she was well and

truly dead.She got up and looked out the window. This was a freighter, so the rooms where people

slept were usually at the bottom of the ship, but this freighter had windows. Looking out, she saw that

the blue waves were rippling beautifully. Elspeth wondered whether the so-called freighter was actually

a sightseeing cruise ship.In the next second, the door opened again.“Miss, Mr. Cole would like to invite

you to go up to the deck to check out the scenery.”The person who came was a girl dressed in a

traditional costume. She spoke in a smug tone as if she was unhappy to see Elspeth. Nevertheless,

Elspeth didn’t have the time or the mood to think about the girl. She was just curious why Elias

suddenly asked her to go up to the deck to check out the scenery.“Okay, wait a moment.”Although

surprised, she still agreed.Elspeth tidied up her clothes briefly before walking out with the girl. The

corridors were not as bad as she thought. They were clean and very brightly lit. The two of them

thereafter made a long detour before reaching the top deck. The moment Elspeth finished walking up

the stairs, she caught sight of Edmund who was standing in a relaxed manner over there.My bad, his

name is Elias, not Edmund.Elias turned and saw Elspeth. Subsequently, he waved to her with a bright

smile.“Come! Come and have fun.”
