While Yelena was unaware of this incident, that didn’t mean she didn’t care about it.
“Don’t worry about it.I’m just doing my job.”
Soraya forcibly suppressed the tremble in her voice, trying to maintain a normal demeanor.However, Yelena thought the young nurse was worn out, and it made her even more grateful.
“Thank you, Miss Tisdale.You’ve been so attentive to me.I will definitely be grateful to you.If there’s anything I can do to help, just let me know.I’ll go through fire and water without hesitation.”
Soraya felt even more remorseful.
How could she have framed such an innocent and kind girl? “It’s nothing.I’m happy you’re doing better now.”
Meanwhile, Soraya’s mind was filled with thoughts of wanting Yelena to leave quickly and leave her alone.She was afraid that if they continued talking, she wouldn’t be able to resist kneeling down and confessing her sins.
Elspeth naturally noticed Soraya’s discomfort and held Yelena back, saying, “Alright, the nurse has her own things to attend to.Don’t disturb her anymore.”
Yelena reluctantly returned to Elspeth’s side.
Soraya, on the other hand, felt uncertain as she looked at Elspeth’s calm and smiling expression.
Does Elspeth really not care about this matter anymore? Or could it be that she has forgotten about it? “Miss Lynwood,”
Soraya called out to Elspeth, who turned around at once just as she was about to lead Yelena forward.
“What’s up, Miss Tisdale?”
Her smile widened.
Soraya parted her lips but couldn’t find the right words to say all of a sudden.
Meanwhile, a thought seemed to have hit Elspeth as she said, “Good news, Miss Tisdale.I will be holding a press conference tomorrow to officially announce the launch of the newly developed medicine.I heard your parents are also infected but haven’t received effective treatment yet.Don’t worry, they’ll be saved now.Also, thank you for taking care of Yelena.”
With that, she left with Yelena.
On the other hand, mixed emotions surged within Soraya as she watched Elspeth’s retreating figure and lowered her gaze.
The next day, the press conference was held on time.
Due to the severity of the ongoing pandemic, only key individuals and journalists were allowed into the venue, and everyone on site was obligated to wear masks.
Elspeth stood on the stage and introduced the newly developed medicine she had worked on composedly while Sonny dozed off as he sat in the audience, and Yelena looked around like a curious cat next to him.
After explaining the value and effectiveness of the medication, Elspeth was about to say something else when a journalist in the audience started causing trouble.
“Miss Lynwood, you mentioned that this medicine has a rapid effect.What evidence do you have?”
Before this, the news of Yelena undergoing treatment with the medication had been kept under wraps to avoid any mishaps.
As such, it was normal for the journalists to be unaware of this.
“I do have evidence, but perhaps I will tell you after I finish introducing a few more points,” Elspeth replied.
However, the journalist wasn’t pleased.
“We only want to know the most important news.What you’ve introduced so far doesn’t meet our expectations.”
Elspeth smirked in response as she looked at the journalist’s smug expression.Looks like someone’s here to cause trouble.
Elspeth ignored him and turned to communicate with the other journalists below.
“What is the meaning of this?”
The journalist, feeling ignored, turned grim.
“I’m asking you a question. Why are you ignoring me?”
At that, Elspeth glanced at him, and the contemptuous look in her eyes made him itch with anger.
“Now is the time for me to tell everyone about the medicine.I don’t have the time to respond to your questions.”
However, the journalist persisted, insisting on getting an answer.
“Why? Is my question not important?”
Elspeth chuckled in response.
“They are, but don’t you know that you shouldn’t interrupt someone when they’re speaking?”
Realizing he was rude, the journalist awkwardly touched his nose.
“We’re in a severe epidemic now, are we not? I’m doing this for everyone’s sake.It’s normal to be worried and tense.”
“In that case, let me answer your question first,” said Elspeth as she quirked a brow, leading the journalist to lift his chin arrogantly.
“See? How nice it’d have been if you had done it sooner! Why waste time introducing all these useless things?”
Meanwhile, Elspeth glanced sideways at the audience, and Yelena immediately understood and stepped onto the stage.
“Since you’re so concerned, allow me to tell you about it.”
The journalist didn’t understand why Elspeth had Yelena come up on stage, so he asked, “If you’re going to introduce your medicine, do it.Why invite a celebrity on stage?”
The journalist knew Yelena was a celebrity, but he couldn’t fathom why they would have a celebrity endorse something at such a critical moment.
Contempt appeared in the journalist’s eyes.
Elspeth naturally saw through his thoughts and sneered.
“How narrow- minded.”
Upon hearing her sneer, the journalist’s face immediately turned red.
“What are you talking about?”
Elspeth cleared her throat.
“You want to know the truth, don’t you? Don’t interrupt, and I’ll give you the answer.Yelena Sullivan was the first trial subject for the new medicine.She contracted the epidemic half a month ago.”
Hearing that the infected person stood right before them, the journalists in the front row immediately took a few steps back.
Even the journalist who had been arrogant earlier showed a slight change in his expression.
“There’s no need to worry, though.She has fully recovered after half a month of recovery treatment,” said Elspeth reassuringly.
However, the journalists in the front row remained skeptical, including the one who had spoken up earlier.He found it unbelievable.
“So many people have been infected recently, and none of them recovered.How could she possibly be fine?”
Yelena, tired of his constant nitpicking, retorted, “What are you trying to say? Are you saying no one can recover?”
The journalist was rendered speechless, not expecting this seemingly benign girl he usually saw on TV to be so sharp-tongued.
“I didn’t mean that…”
“What do you mean, then? Do you not want me to be well?”
Yelena’s words made the journalist shake his head at once.
“Of course not! Why would I think that?!”
He knew to distinguish between Elspeth and Yelena.
