Chapter 303
Abraham suddenly spoke up from the side. He denied him with just one sentence.
All of this was due to the Godfrey family. Who was Theodore trying to bluff by saying things like that.
Theodore clenched his fists tightly and suppressed his anger. He almost couldn't control himself. However, when he looked at Adrienne's face, he realized that he really was the one at fault.
The atmosphere became quiet again.
Abraham glanced at Everleigh and said to them, "All of you can go back. We'll watch over her."
Stainley and Theodore were outsiders. They would only be eyesores if they were there. Hence, Stainley didn't say anything and left. He would be able to come visit at any time since he was working there. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
Theodore left reluctantly. No matter what he did right then, it would all be deemed wrong. He would rather do something practical instead of being despised there.
When Josephine heard the news, she laughed arrogantly. She didn't believe that she wouldn't be able to mess her up.
"Everleigh, let's see what you can do this time when you can't continue to be a doctor." Josephine laughed loudly.
After such a long time, she finally vented her anger.
A few days ago, she went to find Yadreil, who cursed Everleigh. She investigated him and found out that he had a genetic mental disease. He had only been discharged from the hospital a few years ago. Recently, he would go to visit Everleigh as his body didn't feel well. She said that she would
pay his examination fees for him because he didn't have the money. However, he would still have to pay the other expenses by himself.
It was because of what she said that made him feel like she was the same as the other doctors who only wanted to make money.
The reason Everleigh said that was because she wasn't sure about the result. It would be great if it was benign. If it was malignant, there was no way for her to help him with her income.
However, she didn't think that Yadreil would hold a grudge against her.
Then, Josephine went to meet him and talked badly about Everleigh to him. She also said that he wouldn't go to jail even if he slashed her.
It was precisely because of those words that he would attack Everleigh.
Josephine truly understood the feeling of 'using a borrowed knife to kill' from that matter.
She felt so awesome.
She was still happy at the moment. She didn't know that a disaster would come soon.
Theodore asked Moses to investigate those who were in contact with Yadreil. Moses didn't dare to neglect this matter as it had proved Theodore's feelings towards Everleigh.
Theodore sat on the company's office chair. Then, he turned around to look at the bustling street below, like a wandering snake. Even the stars in the sky looked cold and cheerless. It reminded him of the time when he went to Romantic Urban.
Everleigh said that they had no possibilities anymore. He was the one who caused her to suffer.
He wanted to make up for it, but soon, he realized that he wouldn't be able to do it anymore. Alastair's attitude that day explained everything. He didn't love him as his father. Theodore was a stranger to him.
That made him feel even more frustrated.
He had been in a high position all these years. Others would follow his lead and never dared to speak out their mind. However, he was defeated by his son, Alastair. He was afraid that he would treat him coldly or not want to accept him.
Under the dim light, his expression looked a little cold, but his heart had many complicated emotions in it.
At that moment, he didn't know how to face Everleigh and his two children.
Cecil rushed to the hospital when she heard the news. When she saw Everleigh lying motionless in the ICU, her tears fell down in an instant.
"Everleigh." She knocked on the window, feeling heartbroken.
Christopher and Abraham were waiting with each of the children in their arms. They watched as Cecil came over.
Both of them fell into silence.
"Christopher, how could you let this happen to her?" She turned her head and looked at him, who was sitting on the chair without saying a word. Then, she walked over and shouted at him.
He looked haggard and did not look as high-spirited as before.
She opened her mouth, but she didn't say anything more in the end.
She knew that everyone felt uncomfortable right then. No matter how much she said, it would only upset them even more.
After a long while, she said slowly, "How is Everleigh's situation?"
"Her life is safe, but she can't hold a scalpel in the future anymore."
Hearing that, her whole body trembled and there was a feeling of despair in her heart. Everleigh's obsession with the medical field was very deep. If she learned that she wouldn't be able to hold a scalpel anymore, she might not be able to bear with it.
"When will she wake up?"
"They will be observing her for the night and we'll know it after the report comes out tomorrow." Christopher's hoarse voice sounded in the room. It seemed a bit abrupt.
The five people sat there and no one closed their eyes.
It was already dawn. Dr. Harrison also stayed up all night from meetings with the aim to find a solution. Everleigh was his proudest student and he still had to pass on his legacy to her. He could not give up just like that.
Not to mention that Everleigh wouldn't be reconciled either, he himself wouldn't be either.
After the examination was done, Abraham asked in a hurry, "Dr. Harrison, how is the current situation?"
"She's basically stable now. She will be fine. She will be sent to a general ward later," he said in a low voice. The red veins in his eyes were very obvious.
When Abraham heard that, he let out a sigh of relief. He was happy as long as she was alive.
Everleigh was sent to the general ward and Abraham followed after her. At that moment, he looked much older and Cecil, who was following behind, felt like crying when she saw that scene.
If Everleigh saw how her father looked right then, she would be extremely sad.
Several people were looking after her in the ward. Selena brought them a lot of things.
She felt bad when she looked at Abraham.
"Dad, have some soup first." She poured him a bowl of soup.
However, Abraham wasn't in the mood for soup. He only looked at Everleigh who was lying on the bed.
Selena also felt uncomfortable. She had always wanted Everleigh to disappear, but when it really came to that day, she realized how painful her words of anger were.
"Selena, take Alastair and Adrienne back."
"No. We want to accompany Mommy," Alastair refused directly.
Adrienne could not hold on any longer and had already fallen asleep by the side. Her eyelashes were still wet, which was proof that she had cried for a long time.
"You still have to go to school."
"I won't go for now." Alastair's cold and stiff tone sounded. He left no room for negotiation.
Abraham looked at him and his eyes lit up slightly, "If you don't want to go back, then so be it. Stay here and accompany your mommy."
Hearing that, Cecil didn't know what to say.
She could only give up.
When Everleigh woke up, it was already afternoon. Upon seeing the white walls, she knew where she was without a doubt.
"It hurts..." Her weak voice sounded.
When the people in the ward heard the sound coming from the bed, they all gathered around.
"Mommy, do you feel any discomfort?" Alastair was the first to rush forward and ask. There was a trace of tears in his small eyes.
"I'm fine. It's just that my wound hurts a little." Everleigh's dry lips twitched. Her face was pale.
Alastair smiled, but he still couldn't stop his tears from flowing out.
"Don't cry." She wanted to reach out her hand to wipe his tears away, but her right hand was bandaged.
