Chapter 252
On the way out of South Hill Villa, Theodore sat in the car with a sullen face.
Moses, who was driving the car, looked at him several times through the rearview mirror in the car and said worriedly, "Mr. Godfrey, it's been so many years. We can't find anything, and Madam Madison won't admit it herself either. Besides, even if the evidence is conclusive, how can you just watch her go to jail?"
"Why can't I?" Theodore raised his head with a cold expression on his face.
Everyone thought that he couldn't do anything, even if he knew the truth. Everleigh thought so, Christopher thought so, and everyone in the Godfrey family thought so.
Just because Madison was his mother, and she belonged to the Godfrey family. No matter what she did, should the Godfrey family cover for her regardless?
What would they gain after covering for her? For so many years, she said that she'd done many things for the Godfrey family and for her son, but everything she did was for herself.
Moses shuddered and did not dare to say anything else. "Mr. Godfrey, where are we going now?"
"To the hospital."
After saying three simple words, Theodore turned his head and looked out of the window. He didn't say anything else.
Moses sighed in his heart silently.
Over the past few days, Theodore acted as if nothing had happened and talked about business as usual at work. As soon as he stepped out of the office, he had been running around. He had to go
to the hospital to visit Madam Scott, and he was personally investigating what happened seven years ago.
If it went on like this, how could his body take it?
When the car arrived at the city hospital, it was almost midnight.
"Mr. Godfrey, it's already so late. Why don't I send you home to have a rest first? Madam Scott will be fine if you visit her tomorrow."
"No need, you go back first." Theodore got out of the car. "Tomorrow morning, eight o'clock."
Moses felt helpless, and he had no choice but to agree. He watched Theodore walk towards the in- patient department through the car window.
At that time, the lights of the inpatient wards had been turned off and only the ICU was still on. Furthermore, the nurse on duty was on patrol all night.
When Theodore came out of the elevator, he saw the nurse on duty dozing off.
"Mr. Godfrey." The nurse was awakened by his footsteps. She stood up from behind the desk and asked, "It's so late. What are you doing here?"
"I'm here to see Grandma. How is she today?"
"Madam Scott is doing fine." The nurse looked at the time. "Are you planning on visiting her now?"
Theodore nodded slightly.
Before the nurse answered, the warning lights on the desk suddenly flashed, and they kept beeping.
"What's going on?" In the nurse's station next door, the head nurse opened the door and stepped outside.
The nurse on duty's expression also changed. "It's the emergency bell of the ICU."
"What's the number of the patient?"
"It's Madam Scott." The nurse raised her head and looked at Theodore as she gave a hard shudder.
At this moment, the Trevino family's house had already settled in for bed.
Abraham arranged for Christopher to stay in the guest room. This action undoubtedly verified what Christopher said, which was the fact that Abraham already knew that they were not married.
Everleigh was sleeping in her own bed. She tossed and turned, and finally felt sleep coming to her mind. Suddenly, an urgent ringtone came from the bed.
"Hello?"
"What? I'll be right there!"
After a few words on the other end of the phone, Everleigh got up immediately and changed clothes. When she went out, Christopher just came out of the guest room with a serious face. "Have you also received a call?"
"Let's talk on the way." Everleigh took the car keys and went downstairs, followed closely by him.
They both received a phone call from the city hospital. It was from the intensive care unit, saying that something had happened to
Madam Scott.
On the way to the hospital, Everleigh was in urgent contact with the hospital, while the car was driven by Christopher.
"Who is the doctor on duty today?"
"Dr. Clark and Dr. Allen have rushed over. At this time, they're preparing for emergency surgery."
"Stop them," Everleigh said in a low voice, "Let Dr. Smith do it."
"But Dr. Smith is not here."
"His shift is at 2:30 a.m. He should have arrived by now."
After saying this, the nurse called out for Dr. Smith.
Soon, the phone was picked up by Stainley. "Everleigh, it's me. I know everything already. Don't worry. I'll take care of it."
"Sorry to trouble you. Christopher and I are on our way. We will arrive soon."
"Drive carefully."
"Okay."
After hanging up the phone, Everleigh looked serious, but her eyes were very calm, as if she had already expected this.
When Everleigh and Christopher arrived at the hospital's operating room, Madam Scott had been in there for a while. Other than Stainley, there were no other cardiologists present.
The lights in the operating room were cold and sharp, and it made people look as pale as death when it shone on their faces.
Everleigh was the main surgeon. Christopher and Stainley were working as assistants.
"Hemostat."
"Continue the blood transfusion."
"There's not enough blood. I'll go get more." In the operating room, the nurse who was in charge walked outside immediately.
Everleigh did not find it strange. Christopher looked at the back of the nurse as she left, and his expression became a little darker suddenly.
This night was extraordinarily long.
Early the next morning, Madam Scott was free of danger and was sent back to the ICU after being discharged from the operating room.
Everleigh had been busy all night. When she changed her clothes and came out, she couldn't even lift her arms.
Christopher was waiting for her at the door of the locker room. "There's a call from Mr. Lawson. He asked you to go to his office."
"Right now?" Everleigh frowned.
It was only dawn. Why was Mr. Lawson there so early?
Everleigh's eyes darkened. "Is it because of Madam Scott's issue?"
Christopher nodded and reminded, "Theodore's mother is here."
"I knew it. She won't let go of any chance screw with me now." Her face was cold but her eyes were calm. "Different situations call for different actions."
After saying this, she went straight to the hospital director's office.
Before she entered the office, she saw a figure standing at the door.
They hadn't seen each other for a long time, so she thought that she had mistakenly identified her for a moment.
The figure wore a light gray coat, and she looked natural and graceful. After she saw Everleigh, she walked straight towards her and said with sympathy, "Everleigh, I didn't expect to see you again, not like this."
"We aren't that close with each other, so just call me Dr. Trevino." Everleigh looked at Josephine coldly.
If she hadn't run into Josephine, she might actually have forgotten about her existence in Ocpeace City. Out of sight, out of mind, right? However, Josephine didn't get angry. She still had a refined and docile look on her face. "I know you don't like me, but Theodore told me to wait for you here."
Hearing this, Everleigh was stunned.
"Bullshit." Christopher's unhappy voice came from behind. "He asked you to be a doorman here? What's wrong? He didn't dare to say anything face to face, so he asked his former fiancee to pass on the message?"
Josephine's face darkened as she stubbornly said, "It's not convenient for him. All of you should know that Aunt Madison is here." Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
Everleigh clenched her fists.
