It was so that Yelena could get discharged sooner, or else she would have hoped for Yelena to stay in the hospital for a while longer and leave after she made a full recovery.However, there was another issue to be addressed.
“But I’d suggest you stay here for a while longer.”
The excited Yelena immediately became disheartened after hearing that.
“Why do I need to stay here? Didn’t you say I could leave if there aren’t any viruses left in my body?”
Elspeth frowned, seeming conflicted.
“I’m worried about you relapsing.”
Yelena immediately fell silent after hearing that.
“You should know that there’s still no way of completely curing this virus, and I’m worried about what might happen if you meet another virus carrier outside and get infected again.Your symptoms might be even worse than what you’ve just experienced.”
Those words shocked Yelena, and she asked, “What should I do? I can’t stay here forever, right?”
“No, that’ll be too much, but I will try to come up with better medication during this period, so I’ll have to trouble you to stay here for a while longer.”
Knowing that it was for her own good, Yelena nodded.
“I understand.Don’t worry.I will obediently stay here and won’t cause you any more trouble.”
“What do you mean to cause me more trouble? You’re only staying here to get better treatment and ensure your safety.”
Elspeth patted her head.
“Also, you’re the first successful test subject we have, so I have to keep you safe…”
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.”
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 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! 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.”
