Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me?

Chapter 656 Go Home and Sleep With Me

Thaddeus was struck with an epiphany. "I get it now. You're saying someone's ordering Soraya Tisdale

to do this, and what we need to do now is draw out that person."

Elspeth smiled and gave the doctor a thumbs-up. "Exactly! You catch on quickly. However, no one can

know about this just yet. I don't know if I can trust you."

Thaddeus wiped the sweat off his forehead as he looked at Elspeth's piercing gaze. "Rest assured,

Miss Lynwood. My lips are sealed. No one else will know about this."

At that, Elspeth withdrew her gaze, satisfied. "That's good to hear. Only you, me, and your disciples

should know about this. No one else should find out."

"That goes without a saying."

With everything said, Elspeth was reminded that she was supposed to bring Yelena her food. With that,

she walked to the door, grabbed the bag from the table, and went to deliver Yelena her food.

…

As Harper had been busy with laboratory work, Elspeth didn't hand over the investigation to him.

Therefore, Callum took the initiative to investigate the matter.

He acted swiftly, too, as he dug up the nurse's complete background and recent activities in just two

days. He even had detailed information on her phone calls and chat conversations.

In the hospital garden, Elspeth looked at the information Callum shared with her and felt increasingly

heavy-hearted. "So, Alphascape is behind this, or should I say Yena Hallaway is behind this."

Callum nodded. "And if my guess is correct, Yena probably lured Soraya into it with bribes of sorts."

However, Elspeth couldn't quite understand how it came about.

"But almost the entire hospital knows that Yelena is our experimental subject for the new drug now. If

we abruptly interrupt the plan, the release of the new drug will undoubtedly be delayed, which won't

benefit other patients."

"Soraya is Yelena's personal nurse. She must be aware of this. So why would she make such a risky,

suicidal action?"

Callum agreed with her, too, to some extent. "You're right. After all, Soraya's parents are also infected

with the virus from this outbreak and are in critical condition."

"That's what I don't get. Her parents would be denied treatment if she did this. So why? From what I

hear, she's close to her parents."

Although it was unclear whether Soraya's words were genuine, her reactions indicated that she

genuinely cared and worried about her parents. So how could a kind young lady commit such an act?

Seeing how troubled Elspeth looked, Callum suddenly had a daring thought. "I have a speculation, but

it's just a speculation."

Elspeth rubbed her temples, feeling perplexed and having a headache.

"I suspect… Yena might have the antidote to this outbreak."

Elspeth stopped rubbing her temples abruptly. "What are you saying?"

"I'm saying that I suspect Yena might know how to control the outbreak or, worse yet, she might be the

one who caused it."

Elspeth was somewhat stupefied by Callum's outrageous statement for a moment. In fact, she thought

there was a good possibility that it could be true. "You know what? I think there might be some truth to

your speculation."

At that, Callum pondered for a moment, somewhat uncertain. "However, we currently don't have direct

evidence to prove that Yena is responsible."

"But I think your suspicion is reasonable, so our next focus of investigation can be on Yena."

Callum smiled and pinched her cheek. "You can rest assured about that. I've already arranged for

someone to investigate the matter since I started suspecting her."

Elspeth was truly surprised by Callum's shrewd thinking, which relieved many of her recent troubles.

"That's good. If there's anything I can help with, I'm ready to assist you anytime."

"Do you really think my intel team is inferior to yours?" he said with a chuckle.

Elspeth was momentarily stunned. Callum had never revealed to her that he had such involvement in

that area.

"To think you'd be hiding something like this from me." She clicked her tongue, gazing at his confident

face.

Callum was taken aback by her words. "What are you talking about? Why do you say it as if I'm doing

something inappropriate behind your back?"

"Are you not?" Elspeth crossed her arms, looking somewhat proud.

At that, Callum feigned anger and pulled her into his arms. "How could you say that about me?

Suspecting me without any evidence. Maybe I should punish you."

Elspeth, being held tightly in his arms, struggled to catch her breath. "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.
