Love's Perfect Match

Chapter 632

Chapter 632 Provocation

Elspeth just realized that she might have been infected as well, seeing that she met and chatted with

him, and she looked solemn.

Noticing her response, Callum asked, "Feeling unwell? Or feverish?"

Elspeth shook her head. "I'm fine." I should have noticed it if there were symptoms. Hank's been

infected for three days, but I feel fine.

"I heard there's an incubation period for this."

She gave him a smile of reassurance. "Don't worry. It might not happen."

"But if you do get infected, you might suffer a lot, seeing that there's no cure for this." Pain is one thing.

If this thing can't be cured, then she might… Callum didn't finish that thought as it would make him

worry even more.

Elspeth was a little nervous as well, but she had no choice. She must forge ahead. "I have an idea. It's

about the company."

Callum couldn't believe she was talking about work, and he sighed. "You might be infected. This isn't

something you should worry about."

Elspeth shook her head. "No. I want to research the cure for this disease."

Callum didn't expect that, but he denied that suggestion given the circumstances and her health. "No.

Researching this means you'll have to be on-site, and I will worry." If Elspeth did get infected, this

research would hurt her even more. If she wasn't infected, this research might kill her.

Elspeth held his hand. "Don't worry about me. I'm not a kid anymore. I can take care of myself.

Besides, if you stay with me, you'll be infected if I'm infected too. If I become the source of so many

infections, I have a duty to settle matters."

She only saw this plan as a little ambitious dream at first, but now she must forge ahead. Hank was

dying, which probably meant he would die if he didn't get cured. Yelena would cry her heart out, and

not to mention Callum might be infected because of her too. And Harper was coughing at a

suspiciously dangerous rate.

A moment of silence later, Callum said, "I have one request. I want to go with you."

"But this isn't your forte. You don't even know the first thing about medicine."

"I can live with doing nothing, but I must stay with you." Callum couldn't let her go alone. "If you refuse,

then I won't let you go."

Elspeth knew he just wanted to stay with her, and she couldn't say no to those eyes. "Fine, but keep

yourself safe no matter what."

Callum pulled her into his embrace, smiling. "I won't drag you down." This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Elspeth took Callum to get tested, and the results came out negative, much to their relief. At least they

were safe at the moment. Elspeth set up a lab and started gathering some experts in medicine to

research the cure. This was a big mission, but fortunately, everything else was under lockdown, so

Elspeth had enough funds to inject into this sector.

She even called Sonny back. When Sonny came into the lab lugging his stuff, he looked a little purple.

"I was in a good game of chess, girl. Why did you call me back?" The old man tossed his suitcase

down and sighed. "Can't you let me live my last years in peace?"

Elspeth was wearing a lab coat, and her hair was tied up neatly. She approached Sonny with a lab coat

and handed it to him. "Just in time. I have a question about a particular herb. Tell me what I should do."

Annoyed that his plan to gain sympathy failed, Sonny glared at Elspeth and got changed in the fitting

room. When he came back out, he saw Elspeth staring at a test tube. "Honestly, can we cure this with

alternative medicine?"

Sonny scoffed. "Hah. Alternative medicine can cure anything. Including stuff that modern medicine

can't. Did you forget what I told you?"

She didn't. When Sonny first knew her, he kept trying to make her his student, but Elspeth was not

interested in alternative medicine, so she kept hiding from him. One day, she fell unconscious because

of her heart disease. No one in the hospital could save her, but Sonny showed up and cured her

symptoms. When she woke up, the first thing she saw was Sonny smiling smugly at her.

"So, wanna learn some alternative medicine?"

For some reason, Elspeth actually said yes. She would never forget what he told her. "Alternative

medicine is the greatest healing art in the world. It can heal anything."

"It's been three days, and I still found nothing?" Elspeth swirled the test tube around. It was filled with

herbal concoction.

Sonny clicked his tongue. "Everything starts off hard. Don't be in a hurry. Besides, I've looked into this

virus. It spreads through the air and attacks the lungs. The lungs then start to rot, and there's no way to

save that."

Elspeth's face fell. "Yeah. They claim to have come up with vaccines, but that won't stop the virus from

spreading. All it does is increase a bit of immunity."

Sonny spat. "Vaccines are hogwash. Only fools believe that."

"And that's why I called you. I know you look down on modern medicine, and I know you have better

ways to solve this." Elspeth smiled smugly. "You won't let your countrymen die from this, will you?"

Sh*t, she got me. "So, that was all a trap? To lure me into this scheme of yours?
