Chapter 1670: 1670. I hate people who question my professional level
Her lips, faintly pale, looked at Elly Campbell and pulled a self-mocking smile, "You saw what happened today. He can’t stay by my side every moment, watching over me, taking care of me."
"No, Leo Hall said..."
The words slipped out, but she quickly held back.
Helen Melendy caught her words and looked at her curiously, "Leo Hall?"
Elly realized she spoke out of turn but showed no sign of discomfort and calmly said:
"He’s Harry Hall’s brother, not really familiar with us. I mentioned Harry Hall earlier and got the name wrong."
Helen didn’t doubt Elly, as the names Harry Hall and Leo Hall did sound quite alike.
She nodded and didn’t pay much attention to Leo Hall.
She only heard Elly say:
"Helen, with the advanced science now, your legs might not be unable to walk forever. Remember, I’ve already reached a cooperative agreement with Auston. Maybe soon, the medicine will be developed."
She didn’t mention Leo Hall but was already conflicted inside.
Helen nodded and smiled, "Yes, I trust you."
She didn’t want to hurt her confidence, but only she knew that she might not wait for that day.
Even if she did wait, she had no reason to make Harry Hall wait until she could stand up.
Elly actually knew that Helen didn’t have much hope for the medication she and Auston were researching. Not to mention Helen, she herself didn’t pin all her hopes on Auston.
At this moment, her heart instead trusted that Leo Hall could solve this problem more.
But thinking of Leo Hall’s request...
Elly’s face turned pale, afraid Helen might notice. She turned her face towards the window.
Soon, Harry Hall came back with groceries. He cooked personally, but Elly, having things hidden in her heart, didn’t stay.
"You’re leaving already?"
Helen looked at her with some reluctance.
"I’m just dropping by to see you. Adam and the kids are waiting for me for dinner."
Helen, hearing Elly mention her husband and children, naturally felt awkward making her stay, so she sent her off.
As Elly left Helen’s house, she couldn’t stop thinking about the conditions Leo Hall mentioned, recalled how Helen was humiliated by Leanne Richards as "disabled," pushed from the wheelchair by that woman, and judged by the strange looks...
If... if she hadn’t shielded her from that stabbing... If... she hadn’t asked Shirley over to care for her... If she hadn’t asked Shirley to massage her...
Perhaps none of this would have happened.
The suffering Helen endured, which she shouldn’t have, was all brought by her.
Elly’s hand hanging by her side was slightly trembling. After a moment, she called Leo Hall, "Where are you? I have something to tell you."
They arranged to meet at a downtown café. By the time Leo Hall arrived, Elly had been waiting for a while.
Due to the widespread pneumonia virus, there weren’t many people on the streets, in restaurants, or cafés.
"Sister-in-law."
Leo Hall walked to Elly with a smile on his lips and sat down.
Elly glanced at him mildly, pondered for a few seconds, and said:
"Can you really help Helen research the antidote?"
Leo Hall raised an eyebrow, picked up the coffee that had gone cold, sipped a little, and said with a smile:
"Sister-in-law, I dislike people questioning my professional skills."
