“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 plans.She had been busy with laboratory work, focusing on her job and taking care of Yelena lately 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 particularly 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 you last 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 only comply.
“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.
Yelena was again forced to stay in the hospital for a week, and Elspeth continued giving her the stronger version of the medication.
After a week of treatments, Yelena fully recovered and was back to her lively self.
On the weekend, Yelena held Elspeth’s hand and pleaded, “Elspeth, I’ve been here for over half a month now, and I feel like I’ve almost recovered from my illness.Plus, the doctor told me today that my past seven consecutive tests have all been negative.I’m sure I’m fine now!”
Although Yelena didn’t say it directly, anyone could tell she wanted to be discharged.
Since she was annoyed and helpless by Yelena’s insistence on being discharged, Elspeth reluctantly agreed to it.
“Okay, you can be discharged.I’ll move you to a new environment, but you must promise me to stay at home and not go anywhere.I will have someone care for you.”
Yelena turned glum at once.
“What you’re saying is that I’m just changing one cage for another, am I right?”
“Your words, not mine.” Elspeth shrugged.
“Besides, you don’t have anywhere to wander around since we’re in the middle of a pandemic.”
At that, Yelena hung her head low.
“In that case, I’d rather stay in the hospital; at least I can soak up some sun in the hospital backyard there.”
Elspeth chuckled and patted her head in response.
“Come on, don’t say that.You can also do that in your own backyard.”
Yelena sighed.
“Alright, but when are you planning to release the new medication?”
Elspeth was surprised that she had been paying attention to that, so she shared her plan with the celebrity, saying, “I’m planning to release it tomorrow.What do you think?”
“Of course, that’s great! Tell me, is there anything I can do to help?”
Yelena couldn’t wait.
As the first person to fully recover, she felt that she had much to say.
“After all the effort I’ve put into you, I sure need your help!”
Elspeth chuckled, seeing how eager Yelena looked.
“I’ll be holding a press conference tomorrow to announce the new medication.You just have to show up with me.” Yelena blinked.
“Yes! Do I need to make a speech or something?”
The corner of Elspeth’s lips twitched slightly in response.
“There’s no need for a speech.You just need to share your experience of taking the medication and just be your normal self.”
At that, Yelena nodded vigorously.
“Don’t worry.As long as you let me attend the event, I’ll do whatever you want.”
“Don’t be overly enthusiastic either.I’m afraid they might think the medication will give people hyper side effects.”
Yelena fell silent at that.
Later, the young woman packed up in preparation for her discharge.
There wasn’t much to pack since they were just items she used during her infection.
Plus, Elspeth had instructed someone to burn all of her belongings.
When Yelena was leaving, she coincidentally ran into Soraya at the entrance.She remembered the nurse.She had cared for her during her infection, but she seemed quite busy and hadn’t come in much lately.
However, Soraya had taken care of her, after all, and Yelena knew to be grateful.She approached Soraya with a smile and grabbed her hand.
“Don’t worry, I’m all healed now.You won’t get infected.”
Yelena looked at Soraya, sincerely expressing her gratitude.
“I really appreciate your care for me during this period.You’re truly a great nurse.”
Soraya couldn’t believe Yelena, of all people, was so warm and even came forward to hold her hand and thank her.
However, considering that she had recently framed Yelena, Soraya felt a twinge of guilt.
Looking at Yelena’s sincere, pure, and shining eyes, Soraya almost staggered and wanted to kneel.
