Chapter 654 The Nurse’s Intention
Yelena's eyes lit up as she promised, "Don't worry. I will appear whenever you need me to and become
the best proof!"
"Great. You should lie down and rest while I go and buy you some food."
Hearing that, Yelena rubbed her belly. It had been quite a while since she ate, so she was quite hungry.
"Sure. I'll wait here."
Elspeth smiled at her before leaving. When she was outside the room, she took off her protective gear,
revealing her clothes that were drenched in sweat. Although taking care of a patient was exhausting,
she was willing to do it.
Meanwhile, the nurse responsible for giving Yelena her checkups was looking through some sort of
data on the side, so Elspeth approached the nurse. "Is it time for Yelena's checkup?"
For some reason, the nurse was a little dazed and startled when hearing Elspeth's voice. "Y-Yes… It
is."
Looking at the nurse's reaction, Elspeth felt it seemed strange. "Hey, you seem a little dazed. Is it
because you haven't had enough rest lately?"
Her gentle, concerned voice made the nurse frazzled. "What? No, it's nothing…"
"Then I might need to trouble you to give Yelena a checkup."
While nodding, the nurse glanced at the door nervously. "Don't worry. I'll give her a checkup later."
Elspeth looked at the nurse's face, which caused her to feel nervous and uneasy.
"That's great. If that's the case, I'll head out to buy her some food."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOnce Elspeth finished speaking, she withdrew her probing gaze and left.
But when she arrived at the corner, she turned to look and saw the nurse still sneaking around,
seeming strange. Therefore, she went into the on-duty room to search for a doctor she was familiar
with. "Dr. Latham, I would like to ask you something."
When Thaddeus Latham saw it was Elspeth, his attitude immediately turned respectful.
After the supervisor's deliberate announcement, everyone in the hospital knew that Elspeth was
Sonny's apprentice. Since she was able to become Sonny's apprentice, it meant her medical skills
were top-notch. Moreover, she had successfully developed a drug associated with the virus outbreak,
so how could Thaddeus not respect her?
"You can ask anything you want. I will definitely help in any way I can. Our supervisor has instructed
that we listen to whatever you say."
Elspeth nodded and smiled humbly. "That's not necessary, but I might need you to help me keep an
eye on someone."
Curious, Thaddeus asked, "Who would you like me to keep an eye on?"
Elspeth pointed outside as Yelena's ward was visible from the window in the on-duty room. "I think the
nurse looking after Yelena is acting strange, but I can't seem to find any evidence of it at the moment,
so I might need you to keep a close eye on her to see what she's up to."
Thaddeus looked at the skinny figure outside and searched his mind for a name. Then, he facepalmed
and explained, "That nurse? I remember now. I'm somewhat familiar with her. I don't think she's
sneaking around. It's just her body language."
But Elspeth believed her judgment and shook her head. "I think that there is something strange about
the way she's acting, so I hope you can help me keep an eye on her."
Seeing that Elspeth had made it so clear, Thaddeus could not find any reason to refute her, so he
nodded. "Don't worry. I will keep an eye on her every action. She won't be able to cause any harm
under my watch."
"If that's the case, thank you. I'll go and buy some food for Yelena."
Then, Thaddeus rose to his feet. "Sure. Don't worry about anything."
Once Elspeth left the room, she went to the hospital cafeteria to buy some healthy food because
Yelena had just recovered from her illness and could not eat many oily foods. Not even the pork ribs
and fries she so strongly pleaded for while hugging Elspeth's arm.
When Elspeth was about to pay with her card, the hospital's credit card machine malfunctioned, and
she could not pay.
While looking at the ringing credit card machine, she took out her purse and offered, "Why don't I pay
with cash?"
That made the cafeteria lady upset. "I'm sorry, but we don't accept cash, only cards."
Looking around, Elspeth noticed there weren't many people coming in because it wasn't lunch hour, so
borrowing someone's card wasn't possible. In the end, she could only continue negotiating with the
cafeteria lady.
"Miss, to tell you the truth, my friend has just woken up and must be famished, so please be more
accommodating with me."
However, the cafeteria lady might be used to such excuses and reject Elspeth. "No. How can I
accommodate you? If I did and the superiors found out, I might get punished and have my salary
revoked."
The cafeteria lady mercilessly rejected the suggestion.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhen Elspeth heard that, she quickly promised, "If they do revoke your salary, I will pay you double the
amount. How does that sound?"
Those words seemed to have hit the cafeteria lady's sore spot because she suddenly began shrieking,
"Yes, you are very rich because you make a lot of money and can do whatever you want! Despicable!
They always try to use money to solve everything!"
It was obvious the cafeteria lady had misunderstood Elspeth's words, and Elspeth did not know how
she would explain herself. She wanted to say something, but her tray was instantly taken away. "That's
it. I don't think you need to eat. You can go somewhere else to buy them."
In the end, Elspeth left the cafeteria empty-handed. With no choice, she headed to a place some
distance from the hospital to get some takeout. After making the round trip back to the hospital, she
discovered half an hour had passed.
When she returned to the hospital and arrived before Yelena's ward, she heard a commotion from the
on-duty room nearby.
Seeing that Yelena's room was quiet and the nurse from before had disappeared, Elspeth placed the
food by the door and went into the on-duty room.
As a result, she saw the nurse being held down by someone, with Thaddeus standing next to them with
a grim expression.
Not understanding the situation, Elspeth asked, "What happened?"
Noticing Elspeth's return, Thaddeus was guilty. "Miss Lynwood, I'm so sorry. I failed to supervise my
people, which was what led to that situation. Luckily, I noticed it early and stopped her in time."
Once he was done, he angrily pointed at the nurse. "This woman tried to bring the virus into Miss
Sullivan's ward!"
