Hiding Behind Her Superficiality by Kyla Olson

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.

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