Loraine looked at her seriously. "You don't earn much as a doctor, do you?"
Everleigh was confused by her words and didn't know what the girl was trying to say.
"How much do you earn every month?"
Everleigh frowned and said, "Why do you ask?" "My brother is not physically well. Our family wants to find a family doctor who is very professional and has good character. If you are willing, I can give you ten times what you're earning. What do you think?"
Everleigh looked at her in a new light as this teenager was negotiating with her so boldly.
It went without saying that Loraine's parents had cultivated her to learn business negotiations. She went straight to the point as soon as she opened her mouth. Her goals were clear, the conditions were established and she waited for Everleigh's reply.
Although Everleigh was a medical student, she had been hearing about these things from Abraham since she was a child.
She smiled and didn't take Loraine's words seriously. "How old are you?"
"Seventeen."
"According to the law, at the age of seventeen, you are still a person who is underaged. What you just said to me has no legal standing, do you understand?"
"Do you think that I can't make a decision?"
"Of course you can't. I heard that your brother has congenital heart disease and is not physically doing well. The family doctor in your house wants to resign. This is a matter for adults."
"As long as you agree, I can tell my parents."
"Thank you for offering," Everleigh said helplessly, "But I really don't have many thoughts about it for the time being."
She was already too busy with the hospital. Later on, she would have to go to school every week. How could she have time to be a family doctor? What more, this was just a joke from a kid.
"Here we are." Everleigh pulled over and looked out of the window. "You live here, right?"
"Yeah," Loraine also looked out of the window as her face was filled with regret. Before getting out of the car, she took out a sticker from her bag, wrote a number, and handed it over. She said very seriously, "Dr. Trevino, call me if you regret your decision."
Everleigh took the sticker politely and said, "Alright, go back quickly. It's getting late. If you don't go back now, your parents will be worried." "Okay, I'm leaving. Thank you for sending me back."
Through the windshield, Everleigh saw Loraine walking to the villa yard with a bag on her back. Halfway through, the door opened, and a woman came out of the house. She was a little far away from her.
Looking from a distance, she casually put on a Burberry plaid shawl and took the bag from Loraine. She lowered her head and said something. Her long hair scattered over her shoulders and half of her face was exposed when the wind blew. She was obviously smiling but there was a kind of cold beauty, which looked very elegant.
Thanks to Christopher, Everleigh was fortunate enough to see all kinds of beautiful women. Although there were plenty of multiracial people, no one was as beautiful as this woman, as if she was not of this world.
Everleigh zoned out for a moment and forgot to drive away.
The woman lowered her head and said something to Loraine. Then, she suddenly raised her head and looked at Everleigh. She walked over with a smile and knocked on the car window.
Everleigh was stunned for a moment. After coming back to her senses, she immediately rolled down the window.
"Hello." The woman tidied her hair with one hand, bent down, and gave her a gentle smile. "I just heard from Loraine that you sent her back. I'm sorry to bother you this late. Dr. Trevino right? My name is Yvonne Miller, Loraine's mother."
"You're welcome. It was on the way.' "How could it be on the way? Yoreast Hills is so far from the city," Yvonne smiled slightly and said. Her eyebrows showed how apologetic she was, "If you don't mind, please come in and have a cup of tea."
