Deep Love Hidden From Him

Chapter 169

The VIP wards of the hospital were all suites. The patient's bedroom and living room were separated, and there were beds in the guest room. In the downtown area of the city, things were more expensive than a five-star hotel. Ordinary people would not even dare to think about it.

In the living room, Theodore handed the signed document to his assistant, Moses.

"Reduce the work as much as possible during this period. Let the secretary handle it at her own discretion of the situation. Grandma is in poor health, so I will stay in the hospital to accompany her for a while."

"Yes, Mr. Godfrey." Just as Moses acknowledged the instructions, the sound of the door opening came from behind him. "Dr. Trevino?"

Everleigh was 1.7 meters tall and she wore a white coat. She stood at the door of the ward with a great aura. Her eyes were full of anger, which made one shudder inexplicably.

Theodore raised his eyes and calmly looked at Moses. "You may leave first."

"Yes, Mr. Godfrey."

Moses carefully looked at Everleigh. When he left, he closed the door and it cut off the noise from the corridor outside. The room quietened down suddenly.

"Bang!" Everleigh put the medical report in front of her on the table. Although it was not a big action, the sound was very clear in the quiet living room.

"Don't you want to explain yourself? What is the meaning of this?"

Theodore maintained his seat on the sofa. He reached out to take the medical report and turned the pages. His cold eyes were calm and rational as usual. "Mr. Lawson moves quite fast."

"Are you admitting that it's all your doing?"

"I don't intend to deny it."

His light tone made Everleigh angry. "Why did you simply change my job? Just because you're Theodore? Because the Godfrey family is rich and powerful?"

Theodore turned to look at her. "Isn't it enough?"

Everleigh was speechless.

Indeed, just because he was Theodore, who had the wealth and power of the Godfrey family, he could change her job at will. Even Mr. Lawson had to obey him, so forget a powerless doctor like herself.

Everleigh gritted her teeth and said, "What if I don't do it?"

"You can do that," Theodore put down the medical report. "However, in addition to the high penalty, this hospital will be on the discreditable list of the National Hospital Boards. But you don't have to worry. All of this has nothing to do with you and only the hospital would be responsible for it."

"Theodore, you..."

This was simply a threat.

She was an employee of the hospital. Because of her, the credit of the entire hospital would be ruined and they would have to pay a high price in liquidated damages. Even if she did not have to bear such a serious consequence alone, how could she face her colleagues and bosses in the hospital in the future? How could she still stay in this hospital?

Theodore crossed his arms and looked at the woman in front of him calmly. Everleigh, who was so angry that she wanted to jump up and down, tried her best to suppress her anger. Theodore thought it was interesting. This decision was indeed right.

"I already have a VIP patient. There's a rule in the hospital that an attending physician can't be assigned to two or more VIP patients at the same time."

Everleigh still wanted to fight.

Theodore said, "The one you're talking about has already been transferred to another hospital."

"Transferred to another hospital? When did it happen? Why didn't anyone tell me?"

"This morning, Mr. Lawson originally meant to change his attending physician, but I think it's more appropriate to transfer him to another hospital so that you won't be embarrassed when you see him in the future." Hearing this, Everleigh laughed angrily and said, "Do you mean that I should thank you for being considerate for me?"

"You're welcome."

Everleigh clenched her fists and her knuckles almost creaked. If it wasn't for the white coat on her body that day, she would really have hit him.

When did Theodore become so shameless?

Why hadn't she noticed it before?

"Is it Everleigh?"

A familiar voice came from the bedroom, breaking the deadlock in the living room.

Everleigh was stunned. Theodore had already gotten up from the sofa and entered the bedroom in front of her, leaving her alone in the living room.

"Grandma, are you awake?"

"Is it Everleigh who came?"

"Yes, she's outside."

"Then why didn't you let her in? Did you talk to her properly? Don't forget your manners." As she said this, Helen leaned out and shouted, "Everleigh, are you still there?"

Everleigh came back to her senses and hurried to the door of the bedroom. She tried to force a smile, but her ugly expression still remained without a smile. "I'm here, Madam Scott."

Helen leaned against the edge of the bed and said with a smile, "Everleigh, you are my lifesaver. Yesterday, when I heard Theodore say that you're an attending physician of this hospital, as well as an expert in heart surgery, I immediately asked to be transferred to this hospital and had you appointed as my attending physician."

Hearing this, Everleigh was stunned and said, "Did you ask for a transfer?"

There was a subtle trace of surprise in Theodore's eyes when he looked at Helen, but it quickly disappeared.

"Of course. I don't trust others," Helen said, patting the edge of the bed. "Everleigh, come and have a seat."

Although Everleigh was surprised, she had no reason not to believe her. There was no need for Madam Scott to lie to her.

"So does this mean that I've wrongly accused Theodore?" Everleigh thought.

During Everleigh's approach, Helen glanced sideways at someone by the bed. Her eyes were full of childlike pride and craftiness, as if she was saying, "Boy, learn a little from me. Grandma still has to save the day at this crucial moment!"

Everleigh sat down beside the bed. "Madam Scott..."

"Everleigh, don't call me Madam in the future. It's odd. Just call me Grandma like Theodore does."

Without waiting for Everleigh to speak, Helen suddenly looked at Theodore and said unhappily, "Why are you still standing here? You've troubled Dr. Trevino so much and you've even delayed her work. Why didn't you prepare breakfast for her?"

In front of Helen, Theodore didn't seem much different from an ordinary young man in front of his elders. He respectfully and obediently said, "Then, I'll go out and take a look first." Everleigh had just sat down beside the bed when she heard this. She said hurriedly, "There's no need to go through so much trouble, Madam Scott."

Helen kept a straight face and pretended to be unhappy. "I've told you, you can just call me Grandma. Everleigh, you don't dislike me, do you?"

"Of course not." Helen's words had already reached this point. Everleigh felt helpless and could only call her, "Grandma."

"That's right," Helen said with a smile. "I've always wanted a granddaughter!"

While chatting with Helen, Everleigh didn't even notice when Theodore left, leaving only her and Helen in the bedroom.

Although Helen was old, she was still very childish. When she mentioned Theodore, she was full of complaints. "He's almost thirty years old, but he still doesn't understand the ways of the world. He always has an ugly expression. Which girl would like him like this? I bet he'll be forever alone!" This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

"You even know the expression 'forever alone'?" Everleigh was surprised. She had been abroad for so many years, but she learnt most of the lingo only after she returned.

"Of course. Although I'm old, my mind is well. Everyone should keep up with the times and don't get out of touch with society." Helen showed Everleigh her mobile phone and said, "Hey, Everleigh, it just happens that you're here. Can you take a look at this for me?"

"What is it?"

"A live broadcast online. Can you help me take a look at this comment? I'm getting old and my eyesight is not very good."
