Early the next morning, Theodore was woken up by someone.
"Sir, sir, wake up."
Theodore heard an unfamiliar male voice, opened his eyes and saw an unfamiliar face. He immediately sat up but due to his hangover, his head felt like it had been split open in an instant as he got up too quickly.
He held his head and said in a hoarse voice, "Why am I here?"
The man who stood next to him was somewhat impatient. "You're asking me? This is the staff's dormitory in the city hospital. Did you drink too much last night and came to the wrong place? "
"City hospital?"
The man in front of him wore a white coat and the badge on his chest showed that he was Quinn Carter, an intern in the hospital. From the moment he woke up, Quinn showed an impatient attitude and wanted to send Theodore away.
As Quinn walked in front of him in his white coat, Theodore's mind went blank for a moment. He suddenly remembered the previous night...
"Where is Everleigh?" He suddenly looked up and asked Quinn.
Quinn was taken aback by the question. "Do you know Dr. Trevino?"
"Where is she?"
Quinn came to his senses and said with a frown, "Dr. Trevino is on leave this morning s o she's not in the hospital now. Wait, where are you going? Sir, your clothes..."
Before Quinn could finish his words, Theodore went out of the temporary dormitory and went straight to Everleigh's office.
The door of the office was locked. When he called her mobile number, there was only an automated female voice repeating, "Sorry, the number that you dialed is temporarily unavailable. Please call again later."
Everything that happened the night before played clearly in his mind at that moment, and every detail was extremely vivid. He was a hundred percent sure that it was not a dream and that it had really happened.
"Theodore?" A male voice came from behind him.
Christopher was in a white coat. His figure was especially tall and charismatic among the four trainees. He held a few case folders in his hand. He looked at Theodore with suspicion and said, "You guys round the wards first. I'll be there later."
After he sent the trainees away, he turned back to look at Theodore. "Why are you here?"
Theodore put his phone down and frowned. "Where's Evie?"
"Evie?" Christopher's eyes were a little wary.
Theodore squeezed his phone tightly and frowned.
Christopher did not ask further. He looked at Theodore and said, "She applied for leave early in the morning. Why are you looking for her?"
Theodore faced Christopher's gaze, clenched his fists even tighter and said, "It's nothing."
"If it's nothing, why are you here?"
Theodore's brows twitched and he avoided Christopher's gaze. "I still have some matters to attend to so I'll be leaving now."
After that, he went straight to the elevator.
On the way, he met Quinn. "Sir, is this your coat?" "Yes, thank you."
"You're welcome."
After Quinn returned Theodore's coat to him, he greeted Christopher who walked toward him. "Good morning, Dr. Meyer."
Christopher nodded and looked in the direction of the elevator with his arms crossed. "What's going on?"
Quinn scratched his head and was a little confused. "I went to the dormitory to get something in the morning and saw that gentleman sleeping there. He reeked of alcohol. I guess he drank too much and came to the wrong place last night. I don't know how he got in there as there was no one in the dormitory."
Christopher frowned.
