Chapter 255
Abraham looked at her meaningfully, as if he wanted to see through her. After a moment of silence, he slowly said, "What about your medical career?"
Everleigh and Abraham had fought for a long time over her desire to study medicine. In the end, he still couldn't stop her and had agreed to her request. Her temper was too strong. She didn't want to bow down to anyone, even if she suffered a lot.
Her thin lips tightened, and sadness flashed in her eyes. "Of course I will continue. If I can't work in the city hospital, it doesn't mean I can't work in other hospitals."
Even if Mrs. Godfrey was powerful, she could not ban her from all the hospitals. She did not believe that the Godfrey family had the ability to do so.
Abraham was quiet for a very long time, but he said nothing.
The next day, Everleigh sent Alastair and Adrienne to school. As soon as she sent them to school, she received a phone call from Stainley, asking her to meet. She did not refuse. She found a place and waited for him.
Stainley arrived quickly and there was an anxious expression on his face. Those who did not know what had happened might have thought that something major had happened.
"What's wrong with you?"
"Why didn't you tell me that you were fired?" Stainley said in a low voice. He seemed to be very dissatisfied with her keeping it from him.
Everleigh gave a wry smile and said, "The news has spread throughout the hospital. It makes no difference whether I say it or not."
"It's different."
Stainley realized that he had lost his composure, so he sat directly opposite her and said slowly, "I hope that I can be by your side when something happens to you, but I couldn't do anything in the end."
"Who said that? You're here to comfort me now, aren't you?"
"This is different." A bitter smile appeared at the corners of his mouth, and the emotions in his eyes made people avert their gaze.
Everleigh lowered her head, clenched her hands, and looked very nervous. She understood Stainley's meaning. Just like when she married Christopher, Stainley hoped to comfort her and help her when she was sad.
However the more he was like this, the more she hoped that he would turn a blind eye to her. There was no place for him in her heart. The better he treated her, the more guilty she would feel.
It was a pity that he still persisted in doing so despite knowing exactly what she was thinking about.
"It's the past, and no one can change it. This is also good, I can..." Everleigh's cell phone rang before she could finish speaking, interrupting her next words.
It was Christopher who called and she picked it up without thinking.
"What's the matter?"
"How could this be?"
"I have to go." Everleigh's face showed fear and she was about to leave with her bag.
Stainley saw that there was something wrong with her expression, so he quickly asked, "What happened?"
"Madam Scott is in a bad state. We have to go to the hospital."
"I'll take you there."
She did not have time to think too much and agreed.
When they arrived at the hospital, Theodore and Moses were waiting at the door of the operating theater. When Theodore saw Everleigh and Stainley coming together, he frowned, and his cold gaze could freeze people to death.
"What's the situation now?" As a nurse exited the operating theater, Stainley grabbed her and asked.
"She's not very stable." The nurse said and took a look at Everleigh at the same time.
She stood at the door with no expression on her face. She was holding a bag in her hand and her nails were so white that they could be seen clearly. NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.
A heart transplant had a big risk. Even if Helen could get through the danger zone, there was the issue of whether the body would reject the heart.
However, it was weird that the problems arose so frequently.
Stainley changed into his scrubs and walked into the operating room. He knew that Everleigh didn't want anything to happen to Helen, or else she wouldn't be so anxious to come here.
After he entered, the door of the operating room was closed again. The sound of the door closing echoed loudly, and it reverberated within the hearts of the two people outside.
Moses glanced at Theodore and Everleigh and they had no intention of speaking at all. The atmosphere was awkward and strange.
After a long time, Mrs. Godfrey and Josephine came over. Mrs. Godfrey looked nervous for fear that something bad would happen to Helen.
"How's your grandmother doing?" Mrs. Godfrey asked Theodore, her voice trembling.
He didn't say anything as he quietly stood aside.
As for Josephine, the jealousy in her eyes intensified when she saw Everleigh there. "Everleigh, when did you come?"
Hearing Josephine's words, Theodore frowned and turned his head to glance at her.
Everleigh crossed her arms and said with a snort, "Miss Bailey, you care too much."
"That's not what I meant. I just wonder if you'll be gossiped being here. After all... You're no longer a doctor here." The following words were soft, but they were enough to be heard by everyone standing there.
When Mrs. Godfrey heard this, she seemed to be irritated. She turned her head and said, "What are you still doing here? Get out."
"This is a public place. It has nothing to do with you whether I am here or not." Everleigh straightened up and looked at her without squinting. She was not frightened by Madison's anger. Instead, she was even calmer.
"You..."
Everleigh was very amused and looked at her. "Are you afraid, Mrs. Godfrey? Are you afraid that something bad will happen to Madam Scott and you will be thrown out?"
Mrs. Godfrey's expression changed a little, and her eyes became cold. "What are you talking about?"
"Isn't that so? Madam Scott said something before she passed out. Don't tell me you don't remember?" Everleigh pretended to be puzzled and said with sarcasm in her eyes as if she thought she had misheard.
"That's enough." Theodore interrupted their conversation with a cold tone.
Everleigh didn't care, but she really didn't say anything anymore.
Josephine saw Theodore's attitude and was delighted. She walked over to him and said, "Theodore, don't be too angry. Everleigh is doing this because of her job. You know that she loves being a doctor the most. Now that she's dismissed, she'll naturally feel a little sad."
Hearing her words, Everleigh sneered even more. Her words were undoubtedly making things worse. She felt that she was unwilling to be "beaten back to her original state" by Madison, so she deliberately came to make trouble for her.
However, she didn't expect that her words also offended Mrs. Godfrey. Wasn't she telling Mrs. Godfrey that she was deliberately making trouble for her?
Sure enough, when Mrs. Godfrey heard Josephine's words, her expression became even more ugly. She gnashed her teeth and said, "Shut up."
Josephine's expression changed. Realizing that she had said something wrong, she obediently shut her mouth.
Theodore's expression didn't change much either. However, he wasn't angry with Everleigh, but with Madison.
He was very clear about Everleigh's attitude towards Helen. What's more, everyone could see her medical ethics. She treated patients fairly.
She definitely wouldn't cause trouble in this aspect.
"Mom, you'd better go back. I'll take care of it here." Theodore's cold voice could be heard, causing Mrs. Godfrey's face to lose its luster.
"You... are driving me away."
"You're the last person Grandma wants to see right now. You'd better leave and don't make any trouble."
