In the banquet hall, the guests gathered around Helen to wish her happy birthday.
People who came here were all relatives of the Godfrey family. Most of them flew back from all over the world to attend the birthday banquet because they cared about the high status of Helen in the family.
"I wish you happiness and long life, Madam Scott."
"Oh, you're my brother's child." Helen smiled and gave the well- wisher a small gift. "I haven't seen you in so many years and you have already grown so tall."
The Godfrey family was a big family, and Helen didn't even know most of the relatives from the collateral branches. After the younger ones wished her, it was her own children's turn.
Everleigh was a little far away. She stood against the dessert table, drinking a glass of juice in her hand, looking bored. With the other hand, she sent a message to Cecil, asking her where she was and when she would come back.
While her head was down, she didn't notice the waitress who was walking towards her.
When the waitress was less than half a meter away from Everleigh, she suddenly tilted her body and staggered to the ground. The moment she fell, she let out a cry of pain, as if she had fallen hard.
Everleigh subconsciously raised her head. As soon as she saw someone fall, she immediately put down the cup and went to help.
'Are you alright?"
The waitress was very young, and her face was very delicate. At that moment, her expression was very bad. She looked like she was in pain, but she endured it. "It's nothing..."
"Let me see." Everleigh, out of the professional habits of a doctor, knelt down to check the injury on the waitress. She pressed the waitress' ankle. "Does it hurt here?"
The waitress took a deep breath and said, "It hurts."
"Maybe you sprained your ankle, but it doesn't look serious." Everleigh helped her up from the ground. "Let’s find a place to rest."
The waitress held Everleigh's elbow, holding herself up with one foot as she gasped constantly. "I don't seem to be able to walk." "Let's go over there and have a seat," Everleigh raised her chin to the sofa beside her and said. "I'll help you over."
Upon hearing this, the waitress shook her head repeatedly and said, "No, if my boss sees me, he'll tell me that the rest area is reserved for guests only."
"Since you're in this state, it's okay to sit for a while. Your boss will not be so unreasonable."
"No." The waitress looked around. "If my boss sees it, he'll deduct my salary. I'll go to the staff lounge. It's on the first floor and it's a bit far away."
Hearing this, Everleigh smiled kindly. "It's okay. I'll take you there. Let's go."
"Am I taking up your time?"
"That won't happen. I'm also a little bored, anyway."
As Helen's attending physician, Everleigh was only there to prevent accidents. In fact, Helen was in good health. As long as she was not severely stimulated, she would not suddenly fall ill. Therefore, Everleigh did not need to stay with Helen the whole time.
This time, if it wasn't for the director of the hospital who specifically asked her to follow Helen, she wouldn't be there. In fact, it was enough to send an intern. If something really happened, Helen would still need to be sent to the hospital as she couldn't be saved by only emergency first aid.
After sending the waitress to the staff lounge on the first floor, Everleigh checked her ankle again. "It doesn't look serious. If you are worried, you can put some ice on it."
"Okay, thank you. Can you help me get an ice bag? I remember that there is one in the lounge's refrigerator."
"Okay." Everleigh immediately agreed and went to open the freezer.
When she turned around to get it, she didn't notice that the waitress, who was behind her, looked at her with a serious face.
Everleigh took the ice bag. Out of fear that the ice bag was too cold, she wrapped it with a towel.
When she came back, the waitress was sitting on the sofa, holding a kettle in one hand and pouring water into an empty cup on the table. "Here, have some water."
