Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me?

Chapter 652 Yelena Tries the Drug

In the end, Elspeth agreed to Yelena's request, but in order to avoid any mishaps, she stayed in the lab

for the whole night, trying to minimize the hazard rate of the new drug. However, she couldn't make the

drug entirely safe no matter what she did, not even 90%.

Since this was a matter of Yelena's safety, Elspeth didn't dare to let her guard down.

Meanwhile, Callum felt his heart ache for her when she saw how swamped she was. "Don't overwork

yourself."

While rubbing her tired eyes, she explained, "Yelena's still waiting for me at the hospital. Also, the

sooner she starts the treatment, the better the effects of the drugs. I can't let her wait that long."

He sighed. "Fine, but promise me you won't overwork yourself."

"Don't worry. I still have to be there to see if she shows symptoms of drug intolerance after taking them,

so I won't let anything happen to me before then."

Suddenly, Callum remembered something and said, "I heard there was a troublemaker during your

meeting two days ago."

Elspeth gave him a somewhat surprised glance. "How did you know about that? Did Harper tell you?"

"Yes. He told me everything." At the thought of Rufus, Callum felt rather annoyed. "Does he always go

against you?"

Resigned, Elspeth replied, "Yes, but I intend to overlook this matter."

"I've done some digging on that man. Maybe you should look into it."

She instantly perked up and asked, "What did you find out?"

"He had some dealings with an employee from Alphascape Group three days ago."

Elspeth frowned. "Alphascape Group is like a ghost that never goes away. They even managed to find

a loophole in this."

"It's not Alphascape Group's problem. You have a mole in your lab."

She asked, "What are you planning to do?"

"I plan to deal with him once your research is done so that it won't cause any dispute." Callum rubbed

her hair and smiled. "Don't worry about this, and leave it to me. Just focus on your test."

Nodding, Elspeth felt somewhat tired. "Since you put it that way, I'll leave it to you."

…

Three days later, Elspeth personally brought the drugs to Wohler Central Hospital.

The hospital was a huge quarantine center with thousands of infected people being quarantined there.

It was even difficult for each person to get a room. Since Yelena was a special case, Elspeth specially

asked the hospital personnel to arrange for Yelena to have her own room to avoid any unsuspecting

situations.

Once Elspeth arrived outside the hospital, she was asked to wear protective gear. Then, she brought

the drugs to Yelena's room. She knocked but was told by the nursing staff that she could head straight

inside.

She nodded and turned the doorknob to enter the room, where she saw Yelena sleeping quietly on the

bed. It was obvious Yelena hadn't had it easy recently because her originally plump cheeks were now

slightly sunken.

"Yellie."

Since Yelena's throat hurt a lot, she could only open her eyes and called Elspeth's name in her raspy

voice.

"How are you doing? Is it uncomfortable?" Elspeth sat beside her and held her hand.

On the other hand, Yelena tried to dodge because she knew her sickness was contagious, but then she

stopped and felt assured after realizing the other was wearing protective gear.

"I'm fine. You know I'm strong-willed." Yelena felt like she had swallowed knives and could not talk

clearly, so Elspeth could only watch Yelena's lips to guess what she was saying.

"How can you still joke when you're in such a state?"

Elspeth took out the drug she had in the box she brought. It was a herbal tonic. "Here's the drug. I've

tried my best to minimize the hazard risk of this drug, but I still can't be sure that it's a hundred percent

safe." Elspeth looked down, seeming quite guilty. "And I can't even be sure that it will cure you."

Meanwhile, Yelena had long expected this, and though she was still sad to hear that, she knew that this

was the road she had chosen. "It's fine."

At this moment, she could only say that to comfort Elspeth.

"Wait, Miss Lynwood. Our hospital forbids outsiders from giving our patients foreign medication." The

nurse behind Elspeth felt nervous after seeing the herbal tonic and reminded Elspeth.

"The patient has agreed to take this drug."

The nurse felt conflicted after hearing that. "This is our hospital policy. I'm sorry."

"Then, who should I report to about this matter?"

The nurse hesitated for a moment and sighed. "How about I ask my supervisor first?"

Elspeth nodded and said gratefully, "Please make it quick."

Once the nurse left, Elspeth temporarily placed the tonic on the side, patiently waiting.

Soon, the nurse hurried back with her supervisor behind her.

When the supervisor heard Elspeth's request, his eyebrows knitted tightly. "Miss, this is against our

policy, so I'd advise you not to do so. Our hospital has to take responsibility for any accidents that might

happen."

"I can promise you that I will fully take on the responsibility if anything happens."

However, the hospital executive still rejected her seriously. "That won't work either. Even if you promise

to take sole responsibility for this, our hospital will still be held responsible."

Elspeth gritted her teeth. "What if I give you Sonny Schwartz's dispensatory?"

In the meantime, Sonny, who was at the lab, sneezed for no reason. "Am I coming down with a cold?

Why did I sneeze?"

"Sonny Schwartz?" The executive's eyes widened. The best traditional medicine practitioner, Sonny

Schwartz? "May I know what's your relationship with him?"

Elspeth felt relieved after hearing that. "I'm his apprentice."

"You're Mr. Schwartz's apprentice. My apologies for being rude just now." The hospital executive's

attitude changed entirely. "In that case, you have our full trust, Miss Lynwood. You may do as you

please."

It seemed like Sonny's reputation was indeed quite helpful.

The nurse saw her supervisor's attitude had changed entirely and asked, "Sir, that's not what you said

to me just now… Didn't you say this was against hospital policy?"

Since the nurse was relatively young, she did not know who Sonny Schwartz was.

"What do you know? Do you know the identity of the person before you?" The supervisor reprimanded

the nurse. "Shut up if you don't know anything."

Elspeth had promised to give them Sonny Schwartz's dispensatory, and that ignorant nurse was about

to drive away his cash cow!

With his approval, Elspeth grabbed the tonic and carefully fed it to Yelena.
