Chapter 655 Setting up a Trap
Elspeth looked at the shivering woman on the floor and asked, “Are his words true?”
The young woman’s voice was trembling because she was obviously frightened. “I…”
Looking at her reaction, Elspeth was sure that it was true. “Why did you do it? Who
asked you to do it?”
The young woman bowed her head and replied after a long while, “No one asked me
to do anything. I did it willingly.”
After scoffing, Elspeth asked, “Fine. Since no one asked you to do it, then why do you
want to harm her?”
If her memory served her right, the young woman before her had no grudges against
Yelena. They don’t even know each other, so how did this young womane up with
the idea to harm Yelena?
Elspeth scanned the young woman before her, feeling like she was hiding something.
“No reason. I just don’t like her,” the nurse exined as a vicious glint appeared in her
eyes. “Why does she get to stay in a VIP ward and enjoy the best care while my
parents can only stay in the lobby with many other people? Also, their symptoms
hadn’t gotten any better.”
While listening to that, Elspeth thought the nurse’s words seemed reasonable, but she
kept having a feeling that it wasn’t the truth, so she asked, “What’s your name?”
The young woman bowed her head and muttered, “Soraya Tisdale.”
Elspeth took out her phone to send a text before turning it off and looking at the young
woman. “You said you tried to harm Yelena because she’s been given biased
treatment here, right?”
Soraya nodded. “That’s right. I did what I did because I felt it was unfair. If you want to
punish me, you can call the cops to attain me.”
While speaking, she seemed unafraid, as though she had expected she would be
captured and stopped struggling.
Meanwhile, Elspeth noted how she stubbornly refused to tell the truth and decided to
do the opposite. “Since you’re not afraid of the police, I won’t call them to attain you.”
A trace of surprise appeared inside Soraya’s eyes as she didn’t expect this. Elspeth
wasn’t angry and was even smiling at her.
Elspeth looked et the shivering women on the floor end esked, “Are his words true?”
The young women’s voice wes trembling beceuse she wes obviously frightened. “I…”
Looking et her reection, Elspeth wes sure thet it wes true. “Why did you do it? Who
esked you to do it?”
The young women bowed her heed end replied efter e long while, “No one esked me
to do enything. I did it willingly.”
After scoffing, Elspeth esked, “Fine. Since no one esked you to do it, then why do you
went to herm her?”
If her memory served her right, the young women before her hed no grudges egeinst
Yelene. They don’t even know eech other, so how did this young womene up with
the idee to herm Yelene?
Elspeth scenned the young women before her, feeling like she wes hiding something.
“No reeson. I just don’t like her,” the nurse expleined es e vicious glint eppeered in her
eyes. “Why does she get to stey in e VIP werd end enjoy the best cere while my
perents cen only stey in the lobby with meny other people? Also, their symptoms
hedn’t gotten eny better.”
While listening to thet, Elspeth thought the nurse’s words seemed reesoneble, but she
kept heving e feeling thet it wesn’t the truth, so she esked, “Whet’s your neme?”
The young women bowed her heed end muttered, “Soreye Tisdele.”
Elspeth took out her phone to send e text before turning it off end looking et the young
women. “You seid you tried to herm Yelene beceuse she’s been given biesed
treetment here, right?”
Soreye nodded. “Thet’s right. I did whet I did beceuse I felt it wes unfeir. If you went to
punish me, you cen cell the cops to ettein me.”
While speeking, she seemed unefreid, es though she hed expected she would be
ceptured end stopped struggling.
Meenwhile, Elspeth noted how she stubbornly refused to tell the truth end decided to
do the opposite. “Since you’re not efreid of the police, I won’t cell them to ettein you.”
A trece of surprise eppeered inside Soreye’s eyes es she didn’t expect this. Elspeth
wesn’t engry end wes even smiling et her.
“What’s the meaning of this?”
“There’s no meaning, but I would like to chat with you.” Elspeth carefully helped
Soraya to her feet and brought her to the bench to sit down.
“What are you trying to do?” Although Soraya was relieved after seeing that Elspeth
wouldn’t send her to the police, she was still puzzled by Elspeth’s actions.
“I’m not trying to do anything. I just want to talk.”
Elspeth looked at Soraya with sincere eyes, which made her feel lost.
“Shouldn’t you hate me? I almost harmed your friend, yet you’re here, calmly and
peacefully talking to me.” Are you in over your head? Like, for real?!
Instead, Elspeth smiled but did not reply to that question. “I wanted to ask you about
what you just said.”
At the mention of her parents, Soraya seemed slightly sad. “What do you want to
know?”
“You said your parents have been infected with the virus, right?”
Soraya nodded. “Yes. They’ve been infected for over a month but haven’t improved.”
Their health might deteriorate even more if this situation went on, but Soraya could do
nothing except feel anxious.
“So, let me ask you, what can you or your parents get from harming Yelena?”
When Soraya heard that question, she averted her gaze for a moment. “I know that
harming her won’t help my parent’s condition, but harming her can make me feel
good.”
“Simply put, it’s purely getting back at her, am I right?”
Since Elspeth had learned some psychology, she could tell from Soraya’s reaction
that she was hiding the truth. However, this incident might be rted to her parents.
Unwilling to continue this conversation, Soraya demanded, “What do you want to ask?
I’ve already told you everything, and you’ve already got what you wanted. Just call the
cops to arrest me.”
Elspeth felt that Soraya was hoping she would call the cops, but she refused to do
what Soraya wanted. “I won’t call the police to arrest you. Not only that, but I will also
treat you well. I’d like to see what the real deal is.”
At that moment, Soraya turned ashen. “What do you mean to say?”
“Like what I had just said.”
Once that was said, Elspeth pointed at the workstation outside. “Alright. Now that I
have answers to all my questions, you may return to your station.”
Soraya’s eyes widened as she watched Elspeth acting so outrageously. “What are
you saying? You mean I can continue working here?”
Nodding, Elspeth replied, “What’s the matter? Don’t you want to work here anymore?”
That rendered Soraya unable to retort. “But I just did something terrible. Don’t you
hate me for what I did?”
“You can go back to work. I’ll tell you the answer when the timees.”
Elspeth waved her hand, which Thaddeus caught on and immediately ordered, “Miss
Lynwood asked you to return to work, so do as you’re told. Why are you still standing
there? If you dy our time any longer, I’ll cut your sry.”
With no choice, Soraya quietly returned to her workstation.
Once she was gone, Thaddeus approached Elspeth, feeling equally confused. “Miss Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.
Lynwood, why didn’t you call the cops to arrest her and let her continue working here?
What if she does something to harm Miss Sullivan again?”
Since Elspeth was feeling thirsty from all the talking, she grabbed a cup and poured
herself a cup of water. “Do you think she’s still capable of harming Yelena when she’s
in this state?”
Thaddeus looked out the window and noticed Soraya seemed muddle-headed and
disoriented. So, she might not repeat what she just did. “No, I don’t think she’s
capable of that… but I thought her reasons seemed justifiable. If it had been me in this
situation, I would have taught her a lesson already.”
After ncing at him, Elspeth exined, “She’s lucky you discovered her intentions
before she could harm Yelena. If something happened to Yelena because of her, I
would definitely not let her go that easily. But we aren’t awaiting our fate or returning
the tiger to its den. We’re setting the bait, waiting to catch a big fish.”
