Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me?

Chapter 655 Setting up a Trap

Elspeth looked at the shivering woman on the floor and asked, "Are his words true?"

The young woman's voice was trembling because she was obviously frightened. "I…"

Looking at her reaction, Elspeth was sure that it was true. "Why did you do it? Who asked you to do it?"

The young woman bowed her head and replied after a long while, "No one asked me to do anything. I

did it willingly."

After scoffing, Elspeth asked, "Fine. Since no one asked you to do it, then why do you want to harm

her?"

If her memory served her right, the young woman before her had no grudges against Yelena. They

don't even know each other, so how did this young woman come up with the idea to harm Yelena?

Elspeth scanned the young woman before her, feeling like she was hiding something.

"No reason. I just don't like her," the nurse explained as a vicious glint appeared in her eyes. "Why

does she get to stay in a VIP ward and enjoy the best care while my parents can only stay in the lobby

with many other people? Also, their symptoms hadn't gotten any better."

While listening to that, Elspeth thought the nurse's words seemed reasonable, but she kept having a

feeling that it wasn't the truth, so she asked, "What's your name?"

The young woman bowed her head and muttered, "Soraya Tisdale."

Elspeth took out her phone to send a text before turning it off and looking at the young woman. "You

said you tried to harm Yelena because she's been given biased treatment here, right?"

Soraya nodded. "That's right. I did what I did because I felt it was unfair. If you want to punish me, you

can call the cops to attain me."

While speaking, she seemed unafraid, as though she had expected she would be captured and

stopped struggling.

Meanwhile, Elspeth noted how she stubbornly refused to tell the truth and decided to do the opposite.

"Since you're not afraid of the police, I won't call them to attain you."

A trace of surprise appeared inside Soraya's eyes as she didn't expect this. Elspeth wasn't angry and

was even smiling at her.

"What's the meaning of this?"

"There's no meaning, but I would like to chat with you." Elspeth carefully helped Soraya to her feet and

brought her to the bench to sit down.

"What are you trying to do?" Although Soraya was relieved after seeing that Elspeth wouldn't send her

to the police, she was still puzzled by Elspeth's actions.

"I'm not trying to do anything. I just want to talk."

Elspeth looked at Soraya with sincere eyes, which made her feel lost.

"Shouldn't you hate me? I almost harmed your friend, yet you're here, calmly and peacefully talking to

me." Are you in over your head? Like, for real?!

Instead, Elspeth smiled but did not reply to that question. "I wanted to ask you about what you just

said."

At the mention of her parents, Soraya seemed slightly sad. "What do you want to know?"

"You said your parents have been infected with the virus, right?"

Soraya nodded. "Yes. They've been infected for over a month but haven't improved."

Their health might deteriorate even more if this situation went on, but Soraya could do nothing except

feel anxious.

"So, let me ask you, what can you or your parents get from harming Yelena?"

When Soraya heard that question, she averted her gaze for a moment. "I know that harming her won't

help my parent's condition, but harming her can make me feel good."

"Simply put, it's purely getting back at her, am I right?"

Since Elspeth had learned some psychology, she could tell from Soraya's reaction that she was hiding

the truth. However, this incident might be related to her parents.

Unwilling to continue this conversation, Soraya demanded, "What do you want to ask? I've already told

you everything, and you've already got what you wanted. Just call the cops to arrest me."

Elspeth felt that Soraya was hoping she would call the cops, but she refused to do what Soraya

wanted. "I won't call the police to arrest you. Not only that, but I will also treat you well. I'd like to see

what the real deal is."

At that moment, Soraya turned ashen. "What do you mean to say?"

"Like what I had just said."

Once that was said, Elspeth pointed at the workstation outside. "Alright. Now that I have answers to all

my questions, you may return to your station."

Soraya's eyes widened as she watched Elspeth acting so outrageously. "What are you saying? You

mean I can continue working here?"

Nodding, Elspeth replied, "What's the matter? Don't you want to work here anymore?"

That rendered Soraya unable to retort. "But I just did something terrible. Don't you hate me for what I

did?"

"You can go back to work. I'll tell you the answer when the time comes."

Elspeth waved her hand, which Thaddeus caught on and immediately ordered, "Miss Lynwood asked

you to return to work, so do as you're told. Why are you still standing there? If you delay our time any

longer, I'll cut your salary."

With no choice, Soraya quietly returned to her workstation.

Once she was gone, Thaddeus approached Elspeth, feeling equally confused. "Miss Lynwood, why

didn't you call the cops to arrest her and let her continue working here? What if she does something to

harm Miss Sullivan again?"

Since Elspeth was feeling thirsty from all the talking, she grabbed a cup and poured herself a cup of

water. "Do you think she's still capable of harming Yelena when she's in this state?"

Thaddeus looked out the window and noticed Soraya seemed muddle-headed and disoriented. So, she

might not repeat what she just did. "No, I don't think she's capable of that… but I thought her reasons

seemed justifiable. If it had been me in this situation, I would have taught her a lesson already."

After glancing at him, Elspeth explained, "She's lucky you discovered her intentions before she could

harm Yelena. If something happened to Yelena because of her, I would definitely not let her go that

easily. But we aren't awaiting our fate or returning the tiger to its den. We're setting the bait, waiting to

catch a big fish."
