Abraham looked at her meaningfully, as if he wanted to see through her. After a moment of silence, he slowly said, "What about your medical career?"
Everleigh and Abraham had fought for a long time over her desire to study medicine. In the end, he still couldn't stop her and had agreed to her request. Her temper was too strong. She didn't want to bow down to anyone, even if she suffered a lot.
Her thin lips tightened, and sadness flashed in her eyes. "Of course I will continue. If I can't work in the city hospital, it doesn't mean I can't work in other hospitals."
Even if Mrs. Godfrey was powerful, she could not ban her from all the hospitals. She did not believe that the Godfrey family had the ability to do so.
Abraham was quiet for a very long time, but he said nothing.
The next day, Everleigh sent Alastair and Adrienne to school. As soon as she sent them to school, she received a phone call from Stainley, asking her to meet. She did not refuse. She found a place and waited for him.
Stainley arrived quickly and there was an anxious expression on his face. Those who did not know what had happened might have thought that something major had happened.
"What's wrong with you?"
"Why didn't you tell me that you were fired?" Stainley said in a low voice. He seemed to be very dissatisfied with her keeping it from him.
Everleigh gave a wry smile and said, "The news has spread throughout the hospital. It makes no difference whether I say it or not."
"It's different."
Stainley realized that he had lost his composure, so he sat directly opposite her and said slowly, "I hope that I can be by your side when something happens to you, but I couldn't do anything in the end."
"Who said that? You're here to comfort me now, aren't you?"
"This is different." A bitter smile appeared at the corners of his mouth, and the emotions in his eyes made people avert their gaze.
Everleigh lowered her head, clenched her hands, and looked very nervous. She understood Stainley's meaning. Just like when she married Christopher, Stainley hoped to comfort her and help her when she was sad.
However the more he was like this, the more she hoped that he would turn a blind eye to her. There was no place for him in her heart. The better he treated her, the more guilty she would feel.
It was a pity that he still persisted in doing so despite knowing exactly what she was thinking about.
"It's the past, and no one can change it. This is also good, I can..." Everleigh's cell phone rang before she could finish speaking, interrupting her next words.
It was Christopher who called and she picked it up without thinking.
"What's the matter?"
"How could this be?"
"I have to go." Everleigh's face showed fear and she was about to leave with her bag.
Stainley saw that there was something wrong with her expression, so he quickly asked, "What happened?"
"Madam Scott is in a bad state. We have to go to the hospital."
"I'll take you there."
She did not have time to think too much and agreed.
When they arrived at the hospital, Theodore and Moses were waiting at the door of the operating theater. When Theodore saw Everleigh and Stainley coming together, he frowned, and his cold gaze could freeze people to death.
"What's the situation now?" As a nurse exited the operating theater, Stainley grabbed her and asked.
"She's not very stable." The nurse said and took a look at Everleigh at the same time.
She stood at the door with no expression on her face. She was holding a bag in her hand and her nails were so white that they could be seen clearly.
