Chapter 47 Saving a Person’s Life
Elspeth disregarded the woman’s chatter as she walked to the sick woman and prepared to perform first aid when someone tugged on her arm again.
The woman’s friend bellowed, “Hey, don’t you understand what I’m saying?! Stop messing around! You’ll be held accountable if you can’t save her!”
Elspeth glared at her coldly. Her fearsome glare frightened the woman, who immediately released her. “Okay, you can hold me accountable, but if you stop me again and her condition deteriorates, you’ll be held accountable.”
The woman was shocked by her remarks and hastily retracted her hands.
Elspeth squatted down and checked the woman’s condition carefully. After she realized that the woman’s condition wasn’t serious, she took out a pill from her pocket and stuffed it into the woman’s mouth.
“Hey!” Her friend shrieked. “What did you feed her?”
Elspeth had had enough. She turned around and threatened, “This is a hospital. If you scream at me again, I’ll ask the security guards to kick you out!”
The woman shrank away sheepishly. “I-I didn’t mean it. Who knows what you fed her? You would kill her if the pill didn’t work.”
Elspeth couldn’t be bothered by her. So, she turned back to check on the patient. For some reason, the patient began to pant even more, and her body trembled violently as if she had some kind of reaction to the medicine.
“Look at what you’ve done! She gets worse! What an ignorant brat! You kill her, do you know that?!”
The friend finally felt confident to curse Elspeth now. I knew that this brat was unreliable from the beginning! I made the right choice by yelling at her!
“Come and save my friend! This girl is killing her!” she wailed, worsening the situation.
A cold gleam flashed across Elspeth’s eyes. “It’s too early to tell.”
At this moment, the patient suddenly stopped breathing rapidly and slowly opened her eyes with a puzzled look, not knowing what had happened.
“You’re fine now. Please control your emotions and always bring your asthma medicine with you. You won’t be so lucky to bump into me next time.” Elspeth stood up and gave her some advice.
The crowd began to applaud and exclaim in awe when they witnessed how Elspeth had saved the woman with just a tiny pill.
“Wow, she’s amazing! So she’s much better than my grandkid, who plays games all day long!”
“Yes! All doctors must be like this. I wonder if she’s a doctor here.”
“No way! She’s too young to be a doctor. I think she’s still in high school…”
Everyone looked at her in admiration and then looked in askance at the woman who was making a fuss earlier. “What a shameful woman!”
The woman knew that she had embarrassed herself and hastily got up from the ground.
As more people gathered around them, Elspeth waved them off. “Alright, nothing to see here. Please leave.”
The crowd gradually dispersed, leaving only Elspeth and the three women.
The patient with asthma was a little embarrassed. “Thank you. If it hadn’t been for you, I might have died.”
Elspeth waved her hand. “You don’t have to thank me. Instead, you should thank her.” She pointed to the elegant woman.
“Her?!” The patient’s eyes widened.
“Yes. I knew her, and it was because of her that I helped you.” You gave me flowers, and I helped you this time. We’re even.
Then, Elspeth checked her watch and said, “It’s getting late. I need to go now.” With that, she turned and rushed toward the hospital ward.
The elegant woman quietly shed tears as she watched her leave, but Elspeth couldn’t see her tears.
