Chapter 474
Her sudden shouting startled Elissa, who was in the middle of brushing her teeth.
Elissa quickly spit out the toothpaste foam and mumbled, “What p>
It was completely out of nowhere.
“Look p>
Tanya shoved the phone directly into her hand, grinning from ear to ear. “Your patients and those charities have all stepped up to defend you p>
Elissa froze and carefully read the trending topics.
[Dr. Drummond Would Never Profit Off A Tragedy]
The tag was filled with compiled posts.
Aside from one official statement from a charity organization, the rest were all everyday people throwing themselves into the crossfire to speak up for Elissa. “Over the past three years, Ms. Elissa Drummond has made irregular donations to our charity fund totaling over 6.5 million dollars p>
“I’m a rideshare driver. Last winter, I was lucky enough to pick up Dr. Drummond. She took one look at my daughter and noticed her heart condition. When she found out we desperately needed money for surgery, she transferred fifty thousand dollars to me after getting out of the car, telling me to focus on getting my kid treated. You’re telling me a doctor like her is profiting off a tragedy? I don’t buy it p>
“My name is Ruby Marshall, and I’m an old patient of Dr. Elissa’s. My family is dirt poor, and I have severe kidney disease. The medical bills everywhere else were too high; Dr. Elissa’s clinic was the only place I could afford. At first, I was suspicious about how it could be so cheap yet so effective. It wasn’t until the pharmacy staff let it slip that I realized Dr. Elissa was paying out of pocket to cover my discounts. She is a good doctor, and I will always believe she is a good doctor p>
Post after post, the entire thread was flooded with Elissa’s patients or people she had quietly helped over the years.
It was the first time Elissa had ever read trending topics so carefully.
She read until her eyes burned and swelled with tears.
She never imagined that her small, insignificant acts of kindness would become the very reason these people stood up to protect her during her darkest hour.
In a situation where one wrong word could get them dragged through the mud by the internet, they still spoke up.
Once Tanya’s initial excitement passed, her rational side took over, and she began to analyze the situation. “I checked. The narrative has shifted massively. Netizens are starting to question the original whistleblowers p>
As Tanya spoke, another news alert popped up.
— [Families of Patients Claiming Murphy Group’s Drug Was Defective Had Secret Meetings with DK Pharmaceuticals]
Elissa clicked on it. The narrative hadn’t just shifted massively—it had completely flipped.
Between Elissa’s patients coming to
her defense and Rowan dropping
the critical evidence at the perfect moment, the pubhe was now aggressively turning their pitchforks toward DK Pharmaceuticals.
She finally let out a long breath.
No wonder Rowan had asked her what Finn Thornton said to her at the press conference.
He had already discovered that DK Pharmaceuticals was behind all of this.
Elissa and Tanya exchanged a look, both of their eyes sparkling with pure joy.
This crisis could have ruined everything.
Having it resolved so smoothly was the best possible outcome.
Ding-dong.
The doorbell rang. Tanya opened the door to find lan Murphy delivering breakfast, As he brought the food inside, Tanya couldn’t help but tease Elissa Everyone’s being so
be getting
attentive. Are you going to be getting double breakfasts and dinners from
now on p>
Elissa had already texted Frank last night, telling him not to have Edna prepare her meals anymore.
She had rested all day yesterday, and her schedule today was packed.
Morning shift at the clinic as usual, and in the afternoon, she was heading to Zephyr Manor to treat Suzanne Jensen.
She didn’t expect to be cornered at her own front door the second she walked out.
Frank, dressed in crisp white slacks and a dress shirt, stood by the hallway window. The morning sun cascaded over his shoulders, highlighting the handsome, gentle, demeanor he had always carried.
Hearing the door open, he turned to look at her, his lips pressed into a tight line. “You p>
“So you don’t care that the Murphy family killed your parents p>
Otherwise, why would she let Rowan Murphy practically move into her apartment?
