Deep Love Hidden From Him

Chapter 171

After breakfast, Everleigh signed the client contract and handed it to the hospital's administrative department for registration.

"Arrange a full-body physical examination for Madam Scott for the afternoon. After the results of the physical examination comes out, inform Dr. Quartley of the cardiology department and Director Wood to plan a consultation and come up with a treatment plan."

"Okay, Dr. Trevino. I'll get down to it now."

After the intern assistant went out, Everleigh drank a mouthful of water and opened the medical report in her hand. She saw "congenital heart disease" written on Helen’s diagnosis section. After a long pause, she suddenly thought of Hansen, Yvonne's son.

The phone suddenly rang and interrupted her thoughts.

"Hello?"

"F**k, what's going on?" As soon as the line was connected, Christopher's angry voice could be heard from the other end. It was so harsh that Everleigh's ears hurt. She quickly moved the phone away from her ears.

"What's wrong with you again?"

"What's wrong with me? It's Mr. Lawson who is the problem! Does he dislike me and deliberately want to make me suffer? Why has my half month long duty been extended to a month?"

The questions from the other end of the line were like bullets. Everleigh was stunned. "It's been changed to a month? I didn't know that. What's going on?"

"At noon today, there was a notice from the medical team. It's simply inexplicable!"

Christopher was used to being pampered since young. When he was studying abroad, Everleigh went to the African hospital branch with Christopher. Christopher complained everyday. When he came back from Africa, he swore that he would never go to a remote place again. The medical duty in the suburbs this time was a blow to him.

Everleigh listened to his complaints on the other end of the line patiently. Christopher cursed Mr. Lawson's ancestors and refused to give up.

"I'll pack up and leave tonight."

"Then I'd like to remind you that when you come back, you should stay away from Felicia."

"Why?"

"Felicia found out about what happened between you and the nurses in the hospital. She has already heard them cry and solved the problem with money."

The other end of the line suddenly fell silent. After a while, Christopher coughed to cover up his embarrassment and said, "Um... I suddenly feel that working as a branch doctor is good..."

"Bye-bye."

Hanging up the phone, Everleigh looked at the darkened screen and was not surprised anymore.

The only person who could make Christopher flee, other than the women who were endlessly pestering him, was his sister, Felicia.

However, Everleigh was also a little confused. The time allotted for duty at the branch hospital was half a month and it had been decided long ago. Why did Mr. Lawson change it so simply and suddenly extend it to a month?

She had no time to think about it. After Helen's physical examination report came out, Everleigh worked with the cardiology experts and discussed the treatment plan for a few days.

Helen was getting on in her old age, so there was a lot to juggle between the conservative treatments and the surgical treatments.

On Saturday, in the city swimming pool.

Adrienne grabbed the duck swim ring and jumped into the pool. She tried to pedal her short legs in the water. After playing for a long time, she was tired and she laid at the edge of the pool, sighing. She looked up at the sky and said, "Alastair, I'm so bored."

Alastair sat at the edge of the swimming pool with a white towel over his body. He accompanied Adrienne as she learned swimming while he played games on the Gameboy. Hearing the sigh, he raised his head from the Gameboy and said, "Adrienne, if you still can't learn to swim, summer will be over soon."

"I don't want to learn anymore. Alastair, Mommy became so busy as soon as she came back. Will she accompany us to participate in the school's sports day?"

"Yes, Mommy won't lie."

"But in the parent-child event, everyone has a Daddy."

Upon hearing this, Alastair looked up from the Gameboy. "Christopher hasn't returned yet, so he is probably not free."

Adrienne blinked and said, "I'm not talking about Christopher."

Alastair was stunned for a moment and immediately guessed what Adrienne was thinking. He immediately said, "You can't go and look for Theodore. Mommy will be angry."

Adrienne was very disappointed all of a sudden. "But all the other children would go with their Daddy and Mommy. Only the two of us won't have them."

Seeing that Alastair did not speak, Adrienne sighed deeply like an adult and said, "Fine, then I won't say more."

Looking at Adrienne's disappointed look, Alastair frowned and asked, "Adrienne, do you really want Theodore to be our Daddy?"

The fire in Adrienne's heart was extinguished and now she also looked like she was wronged. "It's useless even if I want it because Mommy and you both don't agree..."

Hearing that, Alastair hesitated for a while. Then, he climbed up from the swimming pool and said, "Adrienne, let's go."

"Where are we going?" Adrienne raised her head from the swimming float, a blank look on her face.

"The hospital."

In the in- patient department of the city hospital.

In the VIP ward, Helen was sitting in the living room, reading newspapers with a pair of old reading glasses. She was bored and the nurse next to her was putting something into the refrigerator.

Hearing the knock on the door, the nurse went to open the door.

The two children at the door looked very fair and beautiful. The nurse was stunned and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Adrienne smiled and showed her crescentlike eyes. "We are looking for our GreatGrandma."

Helen, who was reading newspapers in the living room, heard the voice and looked up while her hand still held her glasses. She immediately saw a small round face behind the nurse with two small ribbons on her head. She looked so cute that it could melt one's heart.

Adrienne also saw her and shouted at her in a familiar manner, "Great-Grandma!"

Helen was dumbstruck. While she was in a daze, Adrienne had already bypassed the nurse and ran under her arm that was holding the door. Adrienne ran towards Helen and dashed into the room.

"Hey, you can't go in." The nurse chased after her.

"It's alright." Helen waved her hand, indicating for the nurse to go back to work. There was no need to worry about it.

"You called me your Great- Grandma? Have you mistaken me for someone else?" Helen smiled lovingly. She looked at the little girl in front of her and felt that she was very cute. She didn't know whose child had mistaken her for someone else and went to the wrong place.

"Yes, you are my Great-Grandma. Alastair said so!" Saying that, Adrienne turned around and said, "Alastair, come in quickly!"

Only then did Alastair come in. He was the same height as Adrienne. He wore a simple white shirt and black pants. Under his dark hair, there was a slightly thin face. His gaze was calm, with wisdom beyond that of his age.

Helen was stunned when she saw Alastair. "You are..."

She quickly took off her glasses and took a closer look at the child in front of her. She looked at Alastair in disbelief. He was clearly

Theodore's copy!

She looked at the little girl in front of her again. Although she was a little rounder, there was clearly a resemblance between her eyes and Theodore's.

These two children were...

Alastair came in calmly and greeted Helen politely, "Hello, Great-Grandma, I am Alastair, and this is my sister, Adrienne. We heard that you were hospitalized, so we came to see you."

Helen was almost incoherent. "Y- You two are?"

Adrienne smiled innocently, showing her neat row of teeth. She was clever and lovely. "Alastair and I called you Great-Grandma. Of course, we are your great-grandson and great-granddaughter!"

The surprise came too suddenly and Helen instantly opened her eyes wide.
