Chapter 528
When Everleigh heard someone calling her, she and the others looked at the door and saw Erine dressed in a white coat, with her dark hair tied up. Her lovely face was exposed more beautifully.
Everleigh had forgotten that she would be coming to the hospital to study that day, "Erine, when did you arrive?"
"I arrived this morning. I was going to look for you, but they said you weren't here, so I didn't come," Erine replied, chuckling.
When Christopher saw her, his eyes lit up, "Beauty, where are you from?"
Erine felt that his behavior was somewhat odd, especially towards a stranger. However, she didn't lose her courtesy, "I'm a... local, who has been working abroad as a doctor. You're Dr. Meyer, right? I heard about you when I first came here and was called back by the hospital."
Everleigh and Theodore looked at each other and suddenly realised what it meant that evil news rode fast, while good news baited later.
Christopher was not embarrassed. Anyway, everyone clearly knew what he was like.
"Beauty, I don't know if you have time at noon. Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
Let's be friends..." As he said that, he saw a leaf in her hair and wanted to reach out to take it off. However, before he could even touch it, Erine reached out and grabbed his arm with a cold expression on her face.
Then, they heard the sound of bones cracking. "Crack!" Christopher was stunned for a second, and then a scream rang out.
"Ah..."
Everleigh and Theodore didn't even have the time to react.
How did Erine make a move?
Christopher sat on the ground, clutching his arm, unable to exert any strength at all. His forehead was covered with sweat, and he glared at her with his bloodshot eyes, "What are you doing?"
"Who told you to get handsy?"
"Who was the one getting handsy? There's a leaf in your hair. I just wanted to help you take it off," he wailed. He felt so wronged.
Theodore looked over and saw that there was indeed a leaf hidden in her hair.
Everleigh helped Christopher up and looked up at Erine, saying helplessly, "Hurry up and fix his arm. He really has kind intentions."
She did not believe it and looked at Christopher with her big eyes.
Theodore couldn't bear to watch on any longer. He reached out his hand to grab the leaf on her head and said, "Look, he's telling the truth."
Erine realized that she had misjudged the good person. Her face tensed, and she squatted down in no time and apologized, "I'm sorry. There were many people abroad who hooked up with girls in this way. I'll fix it for you now."
As soon as she finished talking, there was a 'crack' sound. Christopher's arm was reattached, and he grimaced in pain.
Erine acted with no mercy. Indeed, she was not someone to be trifled with.
Everleigh lowered her gaze, and the smile in her eyes was hidden. Erine had a keen mind that she could see through what Christopher was thinking at a glance.
When she came in, he indeed wanted to hook up with her.
However, it was a pity that he didn't have the chance to take advantage of her.
A hint of sharp- wittedness flashed across Christopher's gaze, "Now that you've hurt me, shouldn't you treat me to a meal?"
"Of course. Then, let's have it at noon." Erine knew that she was in the wrong and dared not say anything.
Everleigh found that Erine was really naive. Once she agreed, she would be trapped. What kind of woman had Christopher never experienced?
She was bound to lose out.
In the afternoon, Everleigh came to Abraham's ward. As a result, she heard the nurse say that Christopher was injured and hospitalized.
After inquiring, she was informed that he was beaten by Erine as he wanted to take off her clothes. Everleigh felt that he was really hopeless.
She didn't want to care about him.
"Is Christopher alright?"
"He's fine. He just got beaten up for picking up girls. He'll be fine after a lesson," Everleigh responded while peeling the apple.
Abraham nodded. When she said that he would be fine, it meant that he was truly fine.
A rare look of joy appeared on Theodore's face when he heard what had happened to Christopher. It was absolutely normal for him to be beaten up.
"Dad, how long do you want to stay here?" Theodore asked.
Abraham glanced at Everleigh, implying that he needed to ask her that question.
She said without looking up, "We'll see after I check your test results." "It's better to hurry up. I'll be bored to death if I continue to stay here. Although Alastair's in charge of the company, there are still many things that need me to deal with in person." Abraham had received a phone call from his secretary, and there were some shareholders who didn't acknowledge Alastair. The boy was placed in a difficult situation, so he couldn't make any important decisions.
"I'll decide after that. Don't be in a hurry..." Before Everleigh could finish her words, she saw the nurse rushing over in a hurry.
"What happened?"
"Something's wrong with Xavier. Hurry up and take a look. Dr. Harrison is waiting for you to head over together," the nurse panted as she said that. Obviously, she had been running fast.
Everleigh didn't hesitate and went straight to his ward.
Theodore followed behind her with worry in his heart.
In the ward, they heard the sound of Xavier's machine before entering. It was obvious that his heartbeat had increased.
"What's going on?" "It's a sudden illness. It's apparent that his heart is failing. We have to get it done as soon as possible," said Maxwell, who had already given Xavier a preliminary diagnosis.
If he couldn't hold on anymore, he would need to carry out surgery to replace his heart.
Madison sat aside, crying. Seeing Everleigh entering, she lost her temper, "Didn't you say that he was fine the last time? Why would this happen again?"
Seeing that she was so agitated, Everleigh was even more dissatisfied, "I didn't say he was alright. I just said that I made the final preparations."
When Madison recalled what she had said that day, her heart was filled with both grief and sadness. It was an inscrutable feeling.
Theodore stood by the door and looked at the pale Xavier lying on the bed. He couldn't bear to part with him.
"Let's carry out the surgery for him right away." Maxwell was also aware of the critical situation that day and had no time to waste with Madison.
Saving him was the most crucial matter.
Everleigh and the others went into the operating room.
Madison and Theodore waited outside, one expressionless and the other, crying.
She didn't stop crying until nightfall. Everleigh and Dr. Harrison were exhausted, but fortunately, Xavier was able to survive the surgery. However, if that occurred again, he might not be able to get through it another time.
"How's Xavier, Dr. Harrison?"
"There's no danger now, but we need to monitor his condition carefully. If it happens again, there won't be much hope left." Maxwell was also telling the truth.
After hearing that, Madison was devastated. That meant that he could die at any time.
"You..." Madison's hands were trembling. She pointed to Everleigh and said, "It's all because of you. It's you, b*tch, who killed my son."
Everleigh sneered, "Madam Allen, I think there's something wrong with your brain, and you should consult a psychiatrist to check if you have any delusions."
Madison didn't care. As long as it was Everleigh who carried out the treatment, she would be the one responsible for it.
"Mom, can you be more reasonable? What does this have to do with Everleigh?"
"How could it have nothing to do with her? If it wasn't for her, would Xavier become this way?" Madison questioned furiously.
