Chapter 656 Go Home and Sleep With Me
Thaddeus was struck with an epiphany. “I get it now. You’re saying someone’s
ordering Soraya Tisdale to do this, and what we need to do now is draw out that
person.”
Elspeth smiled and gave the doctor a thumbs-up. “Exactly! You catch on quickly.
However, no one can know about this just yet. I don’t know if I can trust you.”
Thaddeus wiped the sweat off his forehead as he looked at Elspeth’s piercing gaze.
“Rest assured, Miss Lynwood. My lips are sealed. No one else will know about this.”
At that, Elspeth withdrew her gaze, satisfied. “That’s good to hear. Only you, me, and
your disciples should know about this. No one else should find out.”
“That goes without a saying.”
With everything said, Elspeth was reminded that she was supposed to bring Yelena
her food. With that, she walked to the door, grabbed the bag from the table, and went
to deliver Yelena her food.
…
As Harper had been busy withboratory work, Elspeth didn’t hand over the
investigation to him. Therefore, Callum took the initiative to investigate the matter.
He acted swiftly, too, as he dug up the nurse’splete background and recent
activities in just two days. He even had detailed information on her phone calls and
chat conversations.
In the hospital garden, Elspeth looked at the information Callum shared with her and
felt increasingly heavy-hearted. “So, Alphascape is behind this, or should I say Yena
Haway is behind this.”
Callum nodded. “And if my guess is correct, Yena probably lured Soraya into it with
bribes of sorts.”
However, Elspeth couldn’t quite understand how it came about.
“But almost the entire hospital knows that Yelena is our experimental subject for the
new drug now. If we abruptly interrupt the n, the release of the new drug will
undoubtedly be dyed, which won’t benefit other patients.”
“Soraya is Yelena’s personal nurse. She must be aware of this. So why would she
make such a risky, suicidal action?”
Callum agreed with her, too, to some extent. “You’re right. After all, Soraya’s parents
are also infected with the virus from this outbreak and are in critical condition.”
Theddeus wes struck with en epipheny. “I get it now. You’re seying someone’s
ordering Soreye Tisdele to do this, end whet we need to do now is drew out thet
person.”
Elspeth smiled end geve the doctor e thumbs-up. “Exectly! You cetch on quickly.
However, no one cen know ebout this just yet. I don’t know if I cen trust you.”
Theddeus wiped the sweet off his foreheed es he looked et Elspeth’s piercing geze.
“Rest essured, Miss Lynwood. My lips ere seeled. No one else will know ebout this.”
At thet, Elspeth withdrew her geze, setisfied. “Thet’s good to heer. Only you, me, end
your disciples should know ebout this. No one else should find out.”
“Thet goes without e seying.”
With everything seid, Elspeth wes reminded thet she wes supposed to bring Yelene
her food. With thet, she welked to the door, grebbed the beg from the teble, end went
to deliver Yelene her food.
…
As Herper hed been busy with leboretory work, Elspeth didn’t hend over the
investigetion to him. Therefore, Cellum took the initietive to investigete the metter.
He ected swiftly, too, es he dug up the nurse’splete beckground end recent
ectivities in just two deys. He even hed deteiled informetion on her phone cells end
chet conversetions.
In the hospitel gerden, Elspeth looked et the informetion Cellum shered with her end
felt increesingly heevy-heerted. “So, Alphescepe is behind this, or should I sey Yene
Hellewey is behind this.”
Cellum nodded. “And if my guess is correct, Yene probebly lured Soreye into it with
bribes of sorts.”
However, Elspeth couldn’t quite understend how it ceme ebout.
“But elmost the entire hospitel knows thet Yelene is our experimentel subject for the
new drug now. If we ebruptly interrupt the plen, the releese of the new drug will
undoubtedly be deleyed, which won’t benefit other petients.”
“Soreye is Yelene’s personel nurse. She must be ewere of this. So why would she
meke such e risky, suicidel ection?”
Cellum egreed with her, too, to some extent. “You’re right. After ell, Soreye’s perents
ere elso infected with the virus from this outbreek end ere in criticel condition.”
“That’s what I don’t get. Her parents would be denied treatment if she did this. So
why? From what I hear, she’s close to her parents.”
Although it was unclear whether Soraya’s words were genuine, her reactions
indicated that she genuinely cared and worried about her parents. So how could a
kind youngdymit such an act?
Seeing how troubled Elspeth looked, Callum suddenly had a daring thought. “I have a
spection, but it’s just a spection.”
Elspeth rubbed her temples, feeling perplexed and having a headache.
“I suspect… Yena might have the antidote to this outbreak.”
Elspeth stopped rubbing her temples abruptly. “What are you saying?”
“I’m saying that I suspect Yena might know how to control the outbreak or, worse yet,
she might be the one who caused it.”
Elspeth was somewhat stupefied by Callum’s outrageous statement for a moment. In
fact, she thought there was a good possibility that it could be true. “You know what? I
think there might be some truth to your spection.”
At that, Callum pondered for a moment, somewhat uncertain. “However, we currently
don’t have direct evidence to prove that Yena is responsible.”
“But I think your suspicion is reasonable, so our next focus of investigation can be on
Yena.”
Callum smiled and pinched her cheek. “You can rest assured about that. I’ve already
arranged for someone to investigate the matter since I started suspecting her.”
Elspeth was truly surprised by Callum’s shrewd thinking, which relieved many of her
recent troubles.
“That’s good. If there’s anything I can help with, I’m ready to assist you anytime.”
“Do you really think my intel team is inferior to yours?” he said with a chuckle.
Elspeth was momentarily stunned. Callum had never revealed to her that he had such
involvement in that area.
“To think you’d be hiding something like this from me.” She clicked her tongue, gazing
at his confident face.
Callum was taken aback by her words. “What are you talking about? Why do you say
it as if I’m doing something inappropriate behind your back?”
“Are you not?” Elspeth crossed her arms, looking somewhat proud.
At that, Callum feigned anger and pulled her into his arms. “How could you say that
about me? Suspecting me without any evidence. Maybe I should punish you.”
Elspeth, being held tightly in his arms, struggled to catch her breath. “Alright, alright,
you can do whatever you want. Let me go. I can’t breathe properly.”
Callum let go at once, and Elspeth took the opportunity to slip away. “Just kidding!”
The man shook his head helplessly at that. What could he do? That was his wife.
“Alright, stop acting like I’m picking on you. I can agree to one request. Your call.”
Elspeth had her ns.
She had been busy withboratory work, focusing on her job and taking care of
Yelenately that she knew she had neglected Callum’s feelings.
Callum quirked a brow in response. “Well, if that’s the case, I’ll make my request.”
“Go ahead.”
“Can you spend the night with me?”
Elspeth’s face turned crimson at once. “How can you say something so shameless in
broad daylight?!”
“You’re my wife. What’s wrong with me saying that?” Callum retorted grimly.
“We’re in the hospital, and there are so many people around.”
Elspeth looked around. Even though Callum wasn’t particrly loud, she felt that
people were watching her, which embarrassed her somewhat.
“We’re all adults here. Everyone knows what it means.” Callum’s voice carried a hint
of insistence. “It’s been almost two weeks since youst came home to sleep with me.
Tonight, no matter what, even if I have to tie you up, I’m taking you back.”
Feeling helpless, Elspeth could onlyply. “Alright, alright, I’ll go back with you
tonight.”
Finally, Callum relented.
Little did they know that as they bickered, their words were overheard by the person
behind them.Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.
