Chapter 114
Loraine looked at her seriously. "You don't earn much as a doctor, do you?"
Everleigh was confused by her words and didn't know what the girl was trying to say.
"How much do you earn every month?"
Everleigh frowned and said, "Why do you ask?" "My brother is not physically well. Our family wants to find a family doctor who is very professional and has good character. If you are willing, I can give you ten times what you're earning. What do you think?"
Everleigh looked at her in a new light as this teenager was negotiating with her so boldly.
It went without saying that Loraine's parents had cultivated her to learn business negotiations. She went straight to the point as soon as she opened her mouth. Her goals were clear, the conditions were established and she waited for Everleigh's reply.
Although Everleigh was a medical student, she had been hearing about these things from Abraham since she was a child.
She smiled and didn't take Loraine's words seriously. "How old are you?"
"Seventeen."
"According to the law, at the age of seventeen, you are still a person who is underaged. What you just said to me has no legal standing, do you understand?"
"Do you think that I can't make a decision?"
"Of course you can't. I heard that your brother has congenital heart disease and is not physically doing well. The family doctor in your house wants to resign. This is a matter for adults."
"As long as you agree, I can tell my parents."
"Thank you for offering," Everleigh said helplessly, "But I really don't have many thoughts about it for the time being."
She was already too busy with the hospital. Later on, she would have to go to school every week. How could she have time to be a family doctor? What more, this was just a joke from a kid.
"Here we are." Everleigh pulled over and looked out of the window. "You live here, right?"
"Yeah," Loraine also looked out of the window as her face was filled with regret. Before getting out of the car, she took out a sticker from her bag, wrote a number, and handed it over. She said very seriously, "Dr. Trevino, call me if you regret your decision."
Everleigh took the sticker politely and said, "Alright, go back quickly. It's getting late. If you don't go back now, your parents will be worried." "Okay, I'm leaving. Thank you for sending me back."
Through the windshield, Everleigh saw Loraine walking to the villa yard with a bag on her back. Halfway through, the door opened, and a woman came out of the house. She was a little far away from her.
Looking from a distance, she casually put on a Burberry plaid shawl and took the bag from Loraine. She lowered her head and said something. Her long hair scattered over her shoulders and half of her face was exposed when the wind blew. She was obviously smiling but there was a kind of cold beauty, which looked very elegant.
Thanks to Christopher, Everleigh was fortunate enough to see all kinds of beautiful women. Although there were plenty of multiracial people, no one was as beautiful as this woman, as if she was not of this world.
Everleigh zoned out for a moment and forgot to drive away.
The woman lowered her head and said something to Loraine. Then, she suddenly raised her head and looked at Everleigh. She walked over with a smile and knocked on the car window.
Everleigh was stunned for a moment. After coming back to her senses, she immediately rolled down the window.
"Hello." The woman tidied her hair with one hand, bent down, and gave her a gentle smile. "I just heard from Loraine that you sent her back. I'm sorry to bother you this late. Dr. Trevino right? My name is Yvonne Miller, Loraine's mother."
"You're welcome. It was on the way.' "How could it be on the way? Yoreast Hills is so far from the city," Yvonne smiled slightly and said. Her eyebrows showed how apologetic she was, "If you don't mind, please come in and have a cup of tea."
"No, thanks. I still have some matters to attend to at home so I won't disturb you."
It was almost 12 and no one would go to somebody's house for tea at this time.
Yvonne nodded understandingly. "Then I'll visit you again to thank you."
"It's really not necessary. It's just a small matter."
After chatting for a while, Everleigh reminded her about Loraine's bandaging care for the wound on her neck. Then, she said goodbye to them and drove out of the area.
She drove far away but she could still see Loraine and Yvonne's silhouettes in the rearview mirror. They were standing at the gate of the villa, sending her off.
Only people of renowned status in Ocpeace City could stay in Yoreast Hills Garden. It was rare that they were so friendly to her. However, what piqued Everleigh's interest was how different Loraine and Yvonne were.
One was a beautiful woman who looked like she was straight out of a painting and the other was like a young girl with braids who was dancing in a music class. However, they seemed close. She was not sure what kind of person Loraine's brother was.
The moon was high up in the sky, and it was already midnight.
That night, the starlight was dim and only the street lights shone on the people traveling.
The next morning, Ocpeace City's hospital was on the news.
In the president's office of Godfrey Group, Moses followed Theodore to his office just after their morning meeting. When they were about to reach the office, they saw two female secretaries at the administrative office looking at something from afar. They were discussing something excitedly.
"Ahem —" Moses coughed to signal them, but both of the secretaries did not hear him.
D*mn it!
As expected, Theodore stopped in front of the administration office and asked coldly, "What are you looking at?"
Just as his voice faded...
With a "bang", the phone fell from the secretary's hand and hit Theodore's foot. The screen was facing up, and the news was playing.
"Mr.... Mr. Godfrey..."
While Theodore was still silent, Moses made the first move. He shouted at the two secretaries, "Is the company giving you too little work? What are you doing at work? Playing with your phone? You
don't want to work anymore, do you? You won't be getting your bonus this month. Report yourself to human resources."
It wasn't that Moses was strict. If Theodore was the one to speak, the two of them would only end up being fired.
It was a lot easier to handle if he made the first move to tell them off.
As expected, Theodore gave a slight frown. Without saying anything else, he walked towards the office.
Moses glared at the secretaries behind him, signaling for them to pick up the phone quickly. Then, he immediately caught up with Theodore and said, "We need to reiterate the company rules to the whole secretary department. This is my mistake. I'll hold a meeting later..."
Before Moses could finish, Theodore suddenly turned his body sideways. Moses was startled. When he looked up, he saw Theodore's cold gaze looking over his shoulder and behind him. Theodore was staring at the phone on the ground.
"At 8:15 p.m. last night, a drunk man in Ocpeace City Hospital stabbed someone in the ER. It is said that there was only a female doctor on duty in the ER. She was the deputy director of the cardiac department of the hospital, Dr. Trevino..."
The news stopped abruptly at the critical moment as the secretary picked up the phone and turned the screen off. When she looked up, a cold wind blew over her face. She trembled at the cold voice that appeared from the top of her head. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
