Love's Perfect Match

Chapter 653 Gradually Recovering

Since the drugs wouldn't take effect so soon, Elspeth let Yelena lie down to rest while she stayed with

her.No matter how the nurse tried to remind Elspeth that she was at risk of getting infected if she

stayed, she still refused to leave.

"She got infected because of me, so I must stay here and care for her.You don't have to worry about

me."

The nurse felt hopeless, but seeing that even her supervisor wasn't worried about Elspeth, the nurse

decided not to care either.

Afterward, Elspeth rose to her feet and chatted with the supervisor.

"Thank you for letting me give Yelena the drugs.I will keep my word."

When the supervisor heard that, he felt relieved and said, "That's great to hear."

Elspeth smiled and wrote something on a piece of paper.

"This is my mentor's number.You can call him if you need anything."

The supervisor's eyes lit up as he nodded with a smile.

Then, he left with the paper.

After three days of observation, Yelena was gradually getting better, and the number of fevers she had

also gradually decreased.

Elspeth noted all those changes and became more careful with Yelena until a particular day when

Elspeth saw tiredness instead of other emotion in Yelena's eyes.She finally felt relaxed. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

"I think I'm all good now."

Though Yelena’s voice still sounded raspy, it was not as frail as before.

"If you think you're almost healed, I'll reduce the amount of medication."But Yelena shook her head at

the thought of that bitter tonic and pleaded, "I don't want to take it anymore.That tonic is so bitter that I

can't swallow."

"Have you heard that all medicine that is good for you is bitter?"

Elspeth watched as Yelena complained and tsked.

"You just think that you can stop taking the tonic because you're getting better, but what if your

condition relapses? Which is worse, the pain from before or drinking the tonic?"

Hearing that, Yelena instantly stopped resisting and nodded her head repeatedly.

"I understand.I'll cooperate with the treatment."

Elspeth asked, "Do you feel any negative effects in your body that might have been caused by the

tonic?"

After carefully thinking about it, Yelena shook her head.

"I don't think there are any negative effects.My body feels normal after taking the tonic, and it seems to

be getting better."

"Are you sure?"

Yelena raised an eyebrow.

"Of course I am.Actually, I don't think I should be bedridden.I can get out of bed and walk."

While she spoke, she sat up in bed, but since she had been lying down for a long period and got up too

quickly, she instantly felt dizzy.

Seeing that she was staggering and almost falling, Elspeth quickly grabbed her arm to help her regain

her footing.

"Even if you think you can get up and walk, you can't just jump down the bed."

Yelena giggled sheepishly.

"I was excited to let you see the effects of your tonic."

After that, Elspeth held Yelena's arm and helped her walk around the room.

Once Yelena seemed to have gotten the hang of it, Elspeth finally felt relieved.

"Judging by your state, I can finally rest assured."

Yelena instantly felt gratified when she remembered how Elspeth had always accompanied her while

wearing heavy protective wear.

"It's my fault.I shouldn't have recklessly infected myself with the virus and made you work so hard to

take care of me.You were already busy being in charge of researching the experimental drug, but then

you had to take care of me.I don't even know how you got through these days."

Elspeth raised her hand to pat Yelena’s hair through her protective gear.

"I'm fine.All that matters is that you're all healed."

Then, Yelena suddenly looked at her in admiration and changed the topic.

"But I didn't expect you would actually succeed in finding the cure and its effects to be so good.It’s only

been a week, and I'm almost cured."

Elspeth cracked up.

"To tell you the truth, I still have to run some tests to know how far you are from making a full recovery."

"That's already very good news.Look, I'm practically almost healed, and besides the slight discomfort in

my throat, I feel like I'm the same as I was before."

Those words added to Elspeth's confidence.

"If you do feel that you're almost cured, I think it's time we think about introducing this tonic to the

market."

Yelena nodded.

"Yes, you should.If people don't believe you, you can tell them that I was your first test subject and

have been successfully cured of the virus."

"Sure.If that's the case, I'll get the doctors to give you a checkup later.If the virus in your body is almost

gone, you might be able to get discharged today."

As Yelena had been cooped inside the hospital for a long while, she was ecstatic to hear that she could

finally see the light of day again, jumping up and down out of joy.

"That's great.I had been looking forward to leaving this place for a long while."

Knowing her hyperactive personality, Elspeth knew Yelena couldn't stand being cooped up in this

place.

That was also the reason Elspeth agreed to let Yelena become the test subject.

It was so that Yelena could get discharged sooner, or else she would have hoped for Yelena to stay in

the hospital for a while longer and leave after she made a full recovery.However, there was another

issue to be addressed.

"But I'd suggest you stay here for a while longer."

The excited Yelena immediately became disheartened after hearing that.

"Why do I need to stay here? Didn't you say I could leave if there aren't any viruses left in my body?"

Elspeth frowned, seeming conflicted.

"I'm worried about you relapsing."

Yelena immediately fell silent after hearing that.

"You should know that there's still no way of completely curing this virus, and I'm worried about what

might happen if you meet another virus carrier outside and get infected again.Your symptoms might be

even worse than what you've just experienced."

Those words shocked Yelena, and she asked, "What should I do? I can't stay here forever, right?"

"No, that'll be too much, but I will try to come up with better medication during this period, so I'll have to

trouble you to stay here for a while longer."

Knowing that it was for her own good, Yelena nodded.

"I understand.Don't worry.I will obediently stay here and won't cause you any more trouble."

"What do you mean to cause me more trouble? You're only staying here to get better treatment and

ensure your safety."

Elspeth patted her head.

"Also, you're the first successful test subject we have, so I have to keep you safe..."
