Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem

Chapter 1249

"You've got no connections in the medical field, no family name, nothing. Without me, you're nobody! The fact that I'm inviting you to join my research team is a privilege you should be grateful for!"

Elysia's response was ice-cold.

“I don't need connections, I don't need a leg up, and I definitely don't need your so-called privilege. Goodbye!"

"You-Listen, developing a cure for this virus, that's the sacred duty of every doctor! If you refuse to help, you're heartless-unpatriotic, ungrateful!"

Sabrina's voice shot up like she was preaching from a pulpit, making Elysia's refusal sound like a crime against humanity.

Elysia wasn't in the mood for her theatrics. She didn't say another word, just hung up.

Who the hell was Sabrina to judge her compassion or her sense of duty?

She wasn't about to let herself be guilt-tripped by Sabrina's moral posturing. Not today.

[If you don't have compassion and a sense of responsibility, you don't deserve to be a healer. Hell, you don't even deserve to be a decent human being!]

Elysia snorted and shot back:

[I'm pretty sure you're the one who doesn't deserve to be a healer. Or a decent human being, for that matter.]
