Capítulo 1548: 1548. Repeated Probing
“It’s different now, she’s pretty good, she arranges everything for me perfectly, and every once in a while she massages my limbs.”
As she said this, she smiled and said:
“If she massages me a few more times, maybe I’ll be able to walk.”
Her tone was quite relaxed, but to Elly Campbell and Harry Hall, it was quite unsettling to hear.
Seeing Helen Melendy rubbing her slender calf with a slightly troubled look, “But, why is it that when Shirley massages me, I don’t feel anything, just like the nerves have died.”
She said this jokingly, after all, in those TV dramas, it’s not uncommon to see vegetative patients who don’t wake up for years and can’t walk because they haven’t moved for a long time.
After undergoing rehabilitation treatment, naturally, they can get up.
So, she isn’t worried at all about being unable to stand in the future, and she was quite relaxed at the moment.
But when Elly and Harry heard her say this in such a joking manner, their hearts sank.
Helen didn’t understand medicine, and she wasn’t thinking about it much at the moment.
Elly could only try to soothe her, forcing a smile, “Don’t talk nonsense, it’s just because you haven’t exercised for a long time, how could your nerves be damaged.”
“I know, you’re just getting nervous for nothing, I was just joking.”
After chatting for a while, Helen gradually calmed down from the news of the director’s death, and her mood wasn’t as heavy.
Elly was concerned about the poisoning incident involving Helen, so she didn’t stay long in the hospital. Anyway, with Harry there, she was relieved, and found an excuse to leave.
As she exited the inpatient building, she happened to run into Shirley returning from outside, who seemed quite happy.
Seeing Elly, she quickly stepped forward to greet her, “Mrs. Jones.”
“Shirley, you’ve worked hard during this time.”
Elly spoke, her gaze falling on Shirley’s worn face.
“Mrs. Jones, you’re too kind. You’ve given me such a high salary to take care of Miss Summer, isn’t this what I’m supposed to do? There’s no hard work about it.”
Elly slightly nodded, subtly probing, “I saw you coming in just now, smiling broadly, what happened to make you so happy?”
Hearing Elly ask this, Shirley’s smile grew even wider.
“My youngest son was selected by their academy to be sent to Yale University as an exchange student. If he does well, he can directly apply to graduate from Yale University, and the school will even arrange a job directly.”
Elly had heard from Gloria that Shirley’s youngest son was a senior studying biology at Bismarck University, with excellent grades, and there was a possibility he might enter the research institute.
Her cousin, Arthur Clark, was the chief researcher at the research institute. If Shirley’s son performed well, she wouldn’t mind letting her cousin mentor him a bit more.
“That truly is something to celebrate.”
Elly smiled and said, “It’s quite expensive over there, so if you need anything, you can let me know.”
“Thank you, Mrs. Jones, you’ve already helped me a lot. My son is studying abroad on a government scholarship, and the school provides additional scholarships and living allowances, so there won’t be any issues over there, thank you.”
“That’s good then.”
Elly exchanged a few pleasantries with Shirley, then left.
Once in the car, Elly’s smile slowly faded, and she fell into deep thought.
When she first hired Shirley, she had observed her. She was an honest and hardworking person.
