Chapter 202
On a Saturday morning, Everleigh was off duty. As soon as she finished her ward rounds, she met Theodore's assistant, Moses, in the corridor.
"Mr. Lawson."
"Good morning, Dr. Trevino." Moses greeted Everleigh. He waved the bag in his hand and said, "I've brought something for Madam Scott, and bought breakfast too. Have you had breakfast? Would you like to join us?"
"No, thanks for offering. I've already had mine," Everleigh smiled.
"Oh okay, then I should go. See you!"
As Moses walked past her, Everleigh suddenly turned and called out to him, "Mr. Lawson."
"Yes? Dr. Trevino?"
"Oh, I just want to ask why Mr. Godfrey hasn't been here for the past few days."
Theodore hadn't been to the hospital for an entire week. Theoretically, no matter how busy he was at work, it was a Saturday. Even if he didn't need to rest, his employees did, but Everleigh didn't see him coming.
"Dr. Trevino, why are you looking for Mr. Godfrey?" Moses had a puzzled look on his face.
Everleigh pretended to be indifferent and explained, "Well, we proposed a few more adjusted treatments. The analysis of Madam Scott's physical index has come out. As for what treatments to choose, we'll need the consent of her family."
Moses nodded thoughtfully and said, "I see. I'll tell Mr. Godfrey later. He's on a business trip, so he won't be able to come shortly."
"Oh, I see. Alright."
As Everleigh was about to leave, Moses suddenly asked, "Dr. Trevino, you can actually make a phone call to Mr. Godfrey directly."
Hearing this, Everleigh was a little stunned. She smiled wryly and said, "He should be very busy. This is not that urgent. It's fine; you can tell him about it later."
"Okay, well noted, Dr. Trevino."
"Thank you and have a good day!" Everleigh spun around and left. She did not notice that the moment she turned, Moses seemed to have something to say but didn't have time to.
After returning to the office, Everleigh sat down and drank some water. She picked up the phone to check the time. It was ten a.m. There were no missed calls or unread text messages.
Even Everleigh herself could not tell what she was looking forward to this entire week.
"Knock, knock!" A knock on the door interrupted her train of thought.
"Come in."
"Dr. Trevino, this is the examination report of bed No. 9 today."
The intern sent the patient's examination report to Everleigh's desk. She took it and opened to read. "There's something wrong with the index. The patient in bed 9 was supposed to be discharged this afternoon, right?"
"Yes, he's almost recovered. It's suggested that he should go home to rest and come to the hospital every two weeks for follow-ups."
"He has to do another blood test. After confirming that there are no problems, you can proceed with the discharge formalities."
"Got it."
Everleigh was turning the pages to the back when her cell phone suddenly rang on the table.
After glancing at the caller ID, she closed the examination report and handed it to the intern. "Go do a blood test for the patient first and send the report in again later."
"Alright, Dr. Trevino."
After the intern left, Everleigh pressed the answer button. "Hello? Hilda."
Hilda was a servant of the Trevino family. It was inconvenient for Everleigh to be home, so Everleigh would contact her most of the time to confirm that everything was well at home.
As soon as she heard the person on the phone, Everleigh jumped up from her chair and asked, "What did you say?"
"How is it possible? How could my father make a fraudulent donation?"
Twenty minutes later, Everleigh arrived at the police station.
The car had not properly parked yet, but Everleigh stepped onto the brakes and got out of the car. She rushed into the police station.
As soon as Everleigh entered the police station hall, she saw Hilda sitting on a bench with a shocked look on her face.
"Hilda," Everleigh walked over hurriedly.
"Ms. Everleigh," Hilda quickly stood up.
Everleigh took her hand and asked anxiously, "Where's my dad? How is he?"
On the phone, Hilda did not make things clear, and she only said that Abraham was suddenly taken away by the police from home. Someone reported that Trevino Group promised to donate five million dollars for a social disaster relief fund the year before, but it hadn't been fulfilled. Hence, the public security organization reported the donation.
Before Hilda could speak, a familiar voice came from behind, accompanied by the sound of high heels clicking on the floor tiles. "Everleigh, I can't believe you dare to come!"
Everleigh turned back with surprise. "Selena?"
Selena was wearing a beige dress, her long hair hanging over her shoulders. Her makeup was delicate under her black sunglasses, but that wasn't helping to make her angry face look any better. She shouted at Everleigh, "Don't call my name. Who are you to come here?"
"Something happened to Dad. I'm here to see him." Everleigh stood up. "Listen, I'm not in a mood to argue with you. I just want to find out what happened to Dad."
"Do you still have the guts to ask? Do you think I came here just to quarrel with you? Do
I look like I have time for that?"
Everleigh didn't respond.
"Isn't what happened to Dad all because of you?"
"What did you say?" Everleigh's expression changed.
She hadn't been in contact with her family for a long time. How could it have anything to do with her when her family was in trouble?
"Stop putting on an act. You're doing great outside; you hooked up with several men and stirred up all kinds of trouble. Have you ever thought of the Trevino family? Did it ever occur to you that the enmity you face will ultimately take revenge on the Trevino family?"
"What the hell are you talking about? Make it clear."
Selena was so angry that she almost trembled. She clenched her fist, gnashed her teeth and said, "The fraudulent donation made by the Trevino Group was actually reported by Theodore. I've already investigated it and you still think that it has nothing to do with you?"
Theodore reported it?
Everleigh's expression changed. How could it be possible?
Selena accused her unceremoniously, "Do you really think that I don't know what you've done outside? After marrying the son of the Meyer family, you still hooked up with Theodore. You two broke up ages ago, and now you are still the victim of your own deeds. Then, you've dragged down the Trevino family's reputation. Everleigh, you're just a jinx to the family!"
"How do you know..." Everleigh looked at Selena in surprise.
How did Selena know she was in a relationship with Theodore back then?
"How could you be so impressive? Your exboyfriend is the CEO of the Godfrey Group, and your current husband is the heir to the Meyer Group. Everleigh Trevino, the entire Trevino family has really underestimated your ability. You're too modest!"
The sarcastic words went through Everleigh's ears and they pierced her until she went numb, but Everleigh had no time to retort Selena. "How could Theodore report Dad? Did you make a mistake?"
"Why couldn't he? Do you want me to show you the public report that was personally signed by him?"
"I'm going to see Dad." Everleigh's mind was a mess.
"Stop right there." Selena grabbed Everleigh with great force.
Everleigh was already in a daze. She was grabbed so hard that she couldn't stand properly for a moment. Then, she staggered and fell to the side. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
The pain from the impact of her tailbone and the ground jolted her. She gasped in shock.
"Everleigh." Selena's sarcastic voice came from above and every word spoken was harsh. "What qualifications do you have to go see Dad? Seven years ago, you almost caused Dad to suffer from a stroke. You haven't given up yet, have you? Do you want to do it again now?"
