They went to a restaurant near Ocpeace Medical University. Although it was lunchtime and there were a lot of customers, they managed to find a table by the window.
After ordering their meals, Yvonne handed the menu back to the waiter. She was very polite and gentle. "Sorry to trouble you. Thank you."
"Okay, please wait for a moment."
After the waiter left, Yvonne smiled and looked at Everleigh. "I never expected Dr. Morgan to introduce me to you, Dr. Trevino."
"I never expected it either." Everleigh drank her water and her heart was filled with a mixture of emotions.
It was out of both their expectations, but the meaning of 'unexpected' was completely different for both of them.
Everleigh never expected Yvonne to be Theodore's stepmother and Wilson's current wife.
She wanted to get close to the Godfrey family to investigate the culprit behind the incident that year, which was why she accepted Christopher's suggestion. To achieve her objective, she needed to get close to someone from the Godfrey family: Theodore's stepmother.
After she agreed, Christopher remained quiet for several days. He said that this matter shouldn't be rushed and it was best not to have direct contact with him. The Godfrey family was very cautious and they would be easily exposed if they were not careful. Therefore, even Everleigh did not know what Christopher was doing.
Hence, when the head of the department called her at noon, she really did not have any idea.
"I am relieved that it was you. I approached Dr. Morgan to find a trustworthy person." Yvonne offered a drink to Everleigh and smiled in a friendly manner. "Loraine went home and told me that she mentioned this to you that day, but maybe you did not pay attention to her as she's a child."
What Yvonne was saying was very interesting. Without a word from Everleigh, she explained what happened thoroughly to her. It was easy to get along with this person.
Everleigh could not help but compare Yvonne to Mrs. Godfrey. Yvonne was rumored to be the mistress and had a bad reputation. After all these years, the Godfrey family still did not accept her. The elders of the Godfrey family were also said to have even disallowed her from entering the Godfrey family mansion.
In comparison, Yvonne was the obvious choice for any man. No one would feel comfortable looking at how arrogant Mrs. Godfrey was.
"At that time, I did not consider becoming a private doctor. The main reason is that my schedule is packed with hospital matters and school. If it wasn't for Dr. Morgan's persistence, I would hope that Miss Miller could find someone else."
Everleigh said with courtesy.
Yvonne smiled. "It's okay. There's not much responsibility given to our family doctor. A visit once a week is enough. Also, you will need to accompany us if Hansen ever wants to go out. Oh, by the way, Hansen is my son."
Everleigh nodded thoughtfully.
Hansen Godfrey had congenital heart disease. All his life, he could only be raised at home like a porcelain doll. It was very difficult for him to live like a normal person.
Yvonne seemed to be fine when she mentioned her son's condition. She had probably gotten used to it since it had been so many years.
"For the next two days, if you are free, I'll bring you to meet Hansen. He is a little afraid of strangers but you don't have to worry. He listens to his sister the most. Loraine likes you so he will definitely like you too."
Everleigh smiled, "Loraine is close to her brother."
"Yes. Although Loraine seemed to be ill-tempered, she is very patient with her brother."
"She's a good kid."
Everleigh thought of the day when she was in the Emergency Department. Loraine was angry at Christopher because her friend was injured. She was anxious but then picked up Everleigh's white coat and returned it to her. This proved that she had been taught well.
They had lunch together. As they were chatting, Everleigh realized she could hit it off with Yvonne.
Yvonne was a painter who ran her own gallery and taught children to paint. She also loved traveling and photography. Even though she was in her forties, she still had a passionate heart.
Among the few hobbies of Everleigh, the only hobby that she maintained was photography.
