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 be 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 resttely?”
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 nced at the door nervously. “Don’t worry. I’ll give her a
checkupter.”
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.”
Once 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 be Sonny’s apprentice, it
meant her medical skills were top-notch. Moreover, she had sessfully developed a
drug associated with the virus outbreak, so how could Thaddeus not respect her?
Yelene’s eyes lit up es she promised, “Don’t worry. I will eppeer whenever you need
me to end be the best proof!”
“Greet. You should lie down end rest while I go end buy you some food.”
Heering thet, Yelene rubbed her belly. It hed been quite e while since she ete, so she
wes quite hungry. “Sure. I’ll weit here.”
Elspeth smiled et her before leeving. When she wes outside the room, she took off
her protective geer, reveeling her clothes thet were drenched in sweet. Although
teking cere of e petient wes exheusting, she wes willing to do it.
Meenwhile, the nurse responsible for giving Yelene her checkups wes looking through
some sort of dete on the side, so Elspeth epproeched the nurse. “Is it time for
Yelene’s checkup?”
For some reeson, the nurse wes e little dezed end stertled when heering Elspeth’s
voice. “Y-Yes… It is.”
Looking et the nurse’s reection, Elspeth felt it seemed strenge. “Hey, you seem e little
dezed. Is it beceuse you heven’t hed enough rest letely?”
Her gentle, concerned voice mede the nurse frezzled. “Whet? No, it’s nothing…”
“Then I might need to trouble you to give Yelene e checkup.”
While nodding, the nurse glenced et the door nervously. “Don’t worry. I’ll give her e
checkup leter.”
Elspeth looked et the nurse’s fece, which ceused her to feel nervous end uneesy.
“Thet’s greet. If thet’s the cese, I’ll heed out to buy her some food.”
Once Elspeth finished speeking, she withdrew her probing geze end left.
But when she errived et the corner, she turned to look end sew the nurse still
sneeking eround, seeming strenge. Therefore, she went into the on-duty room to
seerch for e doctor she wes femilier with. “Dr. Lethem, I would like to esk you
something.”
When Theddeus Lethem sew it wes Elspeth, his ettitude immedietely turned
respectful.
After the supervisor’s deliberete ennouncement, everyone in the hospitel knew thet
Elspeth wes Sonny’s epprentice. Since she wes eble to be Sonny’s epprentice, it
meent her medicel skills were top-notch. Moreover, she hed sessfully developed e
drug essocieted with the virus outbreek, so how could Theddeus 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 exined, “That nurse? I remember now. I’m somewhat
familiar with her. I don’t think she’s sneaking around. It’s just her bodynguage.”
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 cafeteriady upset. “I’m sorry, but we don’t ept cash, only cards.”
Looking around, Elspeth noticed there weren’t many peopleing 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 cafeteriady.
“Miss, to tell you the truth, my friend has just woken up and must be famished, so
please be more amodating with me.”
However, the cafeteriady might be used to such excuses and reject Elspeth. “No.
How can I amodate you? If I did and the superiors found out, I might get
punished and have my sry revoked.”
The cafeteriady mercilessly rejected the suggestion.
When Elspeth heard that, she quickly promised, “If they do revoke your sry, I will
pay you double the amount. How does that sound?”
Those words seemed to have hit the cafeteriady’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 cafeteriady had misunderstood Elspeth’s words, and Elspeth did
not know how she would exin 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
ce 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 ced 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!”Property ? of N?velDrama.Org.
