Love's perfect match novel (Elspeth and Callum) novel Chapter 112

Chapter 112

“How could you be Sonny Schwartz’s protégé? He’s been living in seclusion for a decade. I heard that he went abroad to take on a professorship at a medical university. How did you get to know him?”

“I studied abroad. It’s not surprising that we crossed paths.”

Taking on a professorship? Sonny is just a lazy bum living his retirement life in a city abroad.

“I heard that the country hasn’t found a breakthrough in AIDS treatment. What if your hospital takes the lead?” Elspeth made an enticing offer.

“AIDS? It’s an incurable disease. Girl, you are too young. Putting aside the legitimacy of your relationship with Sonny Schwartz, you have to know that no one could cure AIDS after so many years. You’re making it up just to get into the operating room.” The doctor looked gleeful for seeing through Elspeth’s “trick,” or at least that was what she thought.

“I am not bluffing. The treatment for AIDS has gone through new developments overseas, and we have cases of full recovery. Doctor, I believe you know right from wrong. If I go in there and save a life, not only will you save a patient, but you will also open up a new opportunity for the hospital, and for that, you would be promoted accordingly. Even if I couldn’t save Blake, Callum is here to witness the process, and I will shoulder the responsibility. What is there to worry about?”

Elspeth calculated the pros and cons, and the doctor seemed to sway in front of the offer as she shot a look at Callum, waiting for him to say something.

“Let her in.”

Hearing that, the doctor felt reassured and got her staff to bring Elspeth the scrubs and mask. Then, she led Elspeth into the operating room.

An eternity later, the operating room sign was still turned on. The hospital staff went in and out multiple times to deliver medicinal herbs.

Two hours later, the operating room sign was finally switched off. Callum’s mind snapped back to reality as he stared intensely at the closely shut door, awaiting the exit of Elspeth and the doctors.

The door was opened, and Elspeth emerged first, looking tired and walking with an unsteady gait. She seemed to have overexerted herself, but he could not read her expression.

“Elspeth, how did it go?”

She stared into his eyes and beamed. “He’s safe.”

His anxious heart was finally calmed. “That’s great. I’ll send you back to rest in your ward. Let’s discuss this further when you wake un It nained him to spp her oyhausted

“That’s fine. I need to look after him in his ward because he is at risk of hemorrhage at any time.”

He frowned. “You could always ask a nurse to do that. Else, we could get someone from the family to look after him. Your body is weak. Can’t you rest now?”

She rolled her eyes at him. “I am the only one who knows his condition the best because I operated on him. A nurse does not know how to spot his adverse reaction if there’s any. If they miss the best time to respond, Blake would be in trouble.”

Although she was right, her explanation made him uneasy. “Why do you care for him so much?”

Staring at him, she couldn’t help but snicker, “He got hurt when he saved me from Ophelia. Even if I have to give up my life, I will still save him.”

“You said you saw me hugging Alaina. Could you tell me who you were with at that time?”
