Chapter 657 Press Conference
Yelena was again forced to stay in the hospital for a week, and Elspeth continued giving her the stronger version of
the medication.
After a week of treatments, Yelena fully recovered and was back to her lively self.
On the weekend, Yelena held Elspeth's hand and pleaded, "Elspeth, I've been here for over half a month now, and I
feel like I've almost recovered from my illness. Plus, the doctor told me today that my past seven consecutive tests
have all been negative. I'm sure I'm fine now!"
Although Yelena didn't say it directly, anyone could tell she wanted to be discharged.
Since she was annoyed and helpless by Yelena's insistence on being discharged, Elspeth reluctantly agreed to it.
"Okay, you can be discharged. I'll move you to a new environment, but you must promise me to stay at home and
not go anywhere. I will have someone care for you."
Yelena turned glum at once. "What you're saying is that I'm just changing one cage for another, am I right?"
"Your words, not mine." Elspeth shrugged. "Besides, you don't have anywhere to wander around since we're in the
middle of a pandemic."
At that, Yelena hung her head low. "In that case, I'd rather stay in the hospital; at least I can soak up some sun in
the hospital backyard there."
Elspeth chuckled and patted her head in response. "Come on, don't say that. You can also do that in your own
backyard."
Yelena sighed. "Alright, but when are you planning to release the new medication?"
Elspeth was surprised that she had been paying attention to that, so she shared her plan with the celebrity, saying,
"I'm planning to release it tomorrow. What do you think?"
"Of course, that's great! Tell me, is there anything I can do to help?" Yelena couldn't wait. As the first person to fully
recover, she felt that she had much to say.
"After all the effort I've put into you, I sure need your help!" Elspeth chuckled, seeing how eager Yelena looked. "I'll
be holding a press conference tomorrow to announce the new medication. You just have to show up with me."
Yelena blinked. "Yes! Do I need to make a speech or something?"
The corner of Elspeth's lips twitched slightly in response. "There's no need for a speech. You just need to share your
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtexperience of taking the medication and just be your normal self."
At that, Yelena nodded vigorously. "Don't worry. As long as you let me attend the event, I'll do whatever you want."
Yelene wes egein forced to stey in the hospitel for e week, end Elspeth continued giving her the stronger version of
the medicetion.

Elspeth chuckled end petted her heed in response. "Come on, don't sey thet. You cen elso do thet in your own

At thet, Yelene nodded vigorously. "Don't worry. As long es you let me ettend the event, I'll do whetever you went."
"Don't be overly enthusiastic either. I'm afraid they might think the medication will give people hyper side effects."
Yelena fell silent at that.
Later, the young woman packed up in preparation for her discharge. There wasn't much to pack since they were
just items she used during her infection. Plus, Elspeth had instructed someone to burn all of her belongings.
When Yelena was leaving, she coincidentally ran into Soraya at the entrance.
She remembered the nurse. She had cared for her during her infection, but she seemed quite busy and hadn't
come in much lately. However, Soraya had taken care of her, after all, and Yelena knew to be grateful. She
approached Soraya with a smile and grabbed her hand.
"Don't worry, I'm all healed now. You won't get infected." Yelena looked at Soraya, sincerely expressing her
gratitude. "I really appreciate your care for me during this period. You're truly a great nurse."
Soraya couldn't believe Yelena, of all people, was so warm and even came forward to hold her hand and thank her.
However, considering that she had recently framed Yelena, Soraya felt a twinge of guilt. Looking at Yelena's
sincere, pure, and shining eyes, Soraya almost staggered and wanted to kneel.
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
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmattend 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.
