Just as Jenny was a little surprised by Everleigh's words, the elevator door opened.
"Dr. Trevino, I'm going back to work."
"Okay." Everleigh took out her vibrating phone from her pocket and answered it while walking to her department. "Hello? How's it going there?"
The call was from Christopher. He was responsible for following up with the police to record Paul's matter.
"We're taking notes now. Paul drank a lot, and he just vomited all over the place. He hasn't recovered yet, so we can't get any information from him. The police plan to take him back to the police station first."
"Then, you need to go with them too?"
"Yes, that's why I called you to ask you to cover my shift for me at the ER."
Everleigh subconsciously looked at the time.
It was as if Christopher was a clairvoyant and could see what she was doing through the phone. He said, "I've called Mom and told her that you wouldn't be picking up the children tonight. Let them stay with her. The driver will send them straight to school tomorrow."
Both of them were working overtime that night, but Everleigh could have left before half- past eight. Everleigh was supposed to let the two children have dinner with the Meyer family, and she would pick them up later. It seemed that she couldn't make it now.
Since it was too late to go back and pick the children up, Everleigh didn't say much, "Okay, I'll go now. If I had known this earlier, I wouldn't have left."
"Okay, talk to you later."
After hanging up, Everleigh returned to the ER.
The hall that was in a mess previously was almost cleared. Most of the patients who came here in the middle of the night were either injured by accident or had acute problems like gastroenteritis, so there were no serious cases.
Just as Everleigh sat down in the office, she heard a knock on the door.
"Knock, knock, knock!"
"Come in."
She thought it was a nurse. However, when the door opened, a young girl with braided hair came in. It was that girl named Loraine.
"Dr. Trevino." Loraine blinked at her. Her initially cold face was glistening. "Can I come in?"
Everleigh was stunned for a moment. "You haven't left yet?"
Loraine waved the white coat in her hand. "This is yours."
When she was dealing with Paul, Everleigh casually took off her coat and threw it away. Later, she could not find it and thought she lost it. She didn't expect Loraine to have picked it up.
"Thank you." Everleigh stood up and took the white coat. Out of the corner of her eyes, she saw a glimpse of the gauze on Loraine's neck and asked with concern, "Is the wound on your neck okay? Who bandaged it for you?"
"I'm fine." Loraine shook her head and said, "Dr. Meyer bandaged it for me."
Hearing this, Everleigh laughed and said, "What? You don't think he is a hooligan anymore?"
Loraine felt a little embarrassed as she mentioned it. "I didn't mean that. My friend is timid and has a strict family. At first, I said I wanted a female doctor... I already apologized to Dr. Meyer."
"You didn't get scolded?" asked Everleigh.
Loraine was stunned.
Everleigh smiled again and said, "Well, Dr. Meyer is not a petty person. Thank you for bringing my coat back to me. If there is nothing else, you should go home. Where is your friend?" "Her driver came to pick her up."
"What about you? Is no one picking you up?"
Loraine shook her head, sitting on the other side of the desk. She was completely different compared to how arrogant she was before.
It was almost nine, and Everleigh was also worried about Loraine going home alone. Everleigh said, "How about this? I'll call a car to send you home. Where do you live?"
However, Loraine did not agree immediately. She asked, "Dr. Trevino, when do you get off work?"
"What's wrong? I think it will be in more than an hour."
It would take Christopher at least more than an hour to come back from making the report at the police station.
Loraine said, "Then I'll wait for you to get off work. Can you take me home?"
