Everleigh nodded as this was the only way. She hoped that he could get better.
Otherwise, whatever they did would be in vain.
The next day, after she changed shifts, she went to the ward to visit the patient. When Galen saw her coming in, he frowned slightly but relaxed soon after.
"You are Dr. Trevino, right? I heard from the nurse that you saved me last night," he said.
"You're welcome. I'm just doing my job," she said and went over to look at the machine. Looking at the data on it, she was very satisfied.
Galen's complexion had recovered a little. However, he had cancer, and judging from his current weight, his situation wasn't very optimistic.
She was afraid that he would pass away before she took action.
Everleigh went to bed as soon as she got home, so she didn't hear her mobile phone ring.
She didn't wake up until the evening. When she opened her eyes, she felt the atmosphere of sunset. Autumn was indeed a sad season.
She opened the window and watched the scene in her garden. The coolness of the autumn wind and the sunset glow was an indescribable feeling.
Her mobile phone at the bedside rang. She went over and looked at the caller ID. It was Yvonne.
She picked it up and answered after hesitating for a moment, "Hello, Yvonne."
"Everleigh, did Loraine go to look for you?" Yvonne asked in an anxious voice as if she was about to cry.
Everleigh's expression instantly changed, "No, I was on duty last night and stayed at home all day today."
"Loraine is missing. I have been looking for her the whole day," Yvonne suddenly burst into tears.
Everleigh immediately comforted her, "Don't worry, Yvonne. Let me try and give her a call. I'll let you know if there's any news."
"Thank you, Everleigh," Yvonne thanked her gratefully.
After Everleigh hung up, she called Loraine, but her mobile phone was off. This made her worried.
"Loraine isn't the kind of child that would make others worry. Something must have happened for her to go missing at a time like this," she pondered.
Everleigh took her car keys and went out to look for her. She searched all the places they had gone to before but failed to find her. Just when she didn't know where to go next, Stainley gave her a call.
Everleigh was appalled, "Why would he call me now?"
"Hello, Stainley."
"Everleigh, come to the hospital." Stainley spoke in a gentle voice but he couldn't hide his solemn tone.
"What's wrong?"
"You'll know as soon as you come over," he replied in a low voice and hung up.
As soon as she heard the dial tone, she immediately rushed to the hospital without saying another word.
When she arrived at the hospital, Stainley was waiting for her at the entrance. Everleigh hurriedly got out of the car, "What's wrong?"
"Come and see whether you know her or not." Stainley took her to the emergency department. On the bed was none other than the girl she had been searching for, Loraine.
"Loraine... What happened to her?" Everleigh's eyes were filled with shock as she looked at the child lying on the bed.
Seeing her react like this, Stainly spoke in a calm and deep voice, "She was found by several climbers in the suburbs. She was already seriously injured when she was brought here."
"Is her life in danger?" Everleigh asked.
"The main problem is that her head had been severely hit. Thus, when she will be able to wake up will depend on her consciousness. She didn't have her mobile phone with her, but I remembered seeing her when the Godfrey family came last time, so I called you to see if you recognize her," he explained.
She did not answer. Instead, she took out her mobile phone and called Yvonne. She told her that she had found Loraine and wanted her to come to the hospital.
