Deep Love Hidden From Him novel Chapter 41

The next morning, the weather was overcast in Ocpeace City. Everleigh just left her apartment when it started to rain heavily. She had no choice but to retreat into the building, letting out a sigh.

"Beep!"

Suddenly, she heard the sound of a car honking in the rain. Everleigh looked up and spotted a white car parked at the gate of the apartment. The window of the passenger seat rolled down to reveal a familiar face.

"Everleigh, good morning."

"Stainley?" Everleigh was stunned.

The summer downpour did not last. Shortly after leaving the apartment, the heavy rain slowed to a drizzle, and it was quiet inside the car.

Everleigh stared at Stainley and said, "I'm sorry to trouble you. You even went out of your way to pick me up."

Stainley's slender fingers gripped the steering wheel, and he looked clean and refreshing. His face was calm, and he always had a faint smile on his face.

"Don't worry about it. I'm on the way there too."

"On the way? The academic exchange is still ongoing?" Everleigh recalled what he told her the previous day. When he sent her back, he mentioned that he went to Jackson Hospital for academic exchange.

"Yeah, our hospital is also collaborating with Jackson Hospital, so I'll have to stay there to give surgery guidance."

"Really?" Everleigh asked suspiciously, "Are you sure you didn't offend someone?"

Stainley chuckled, "Why do you say that?"

"Jackson Hospital is very remote, and it's hard to find a restaurant to have a decent meal. If you didn't offend anyone, then why would you be transferred there?"

Everleigh was not lying. Jackson Hospital was located in the most remote suburbs of Ocpeace City, and they barely had any patients. Otherwise, the production team would not have chosen Jackson Hospital to shoot the drama.

"Stainley, you've always been an easy target because you're too soft. Sometimes, you shouldn't be too nice to others. If you accept all the jobs, they'll throw the dirty work at you. They will bully you for your kindness. Also, working in a hospital is not so different from working in a normal company."

Everleigh lectured Stainley on how society worked. She completely neglected the fact that she was in a similar situation too.

She was too careless, and people took advantage of it. Otherwise, she would not have ended up in a remote hospital.

On the way to the hospital, Stainley was mostly quiet. He focused on the road while listening to Everleigh nagging. Occasionally, he would chuckle and chip in. That was how they always interacted with each other.

The rain stopped, and the clouds were gone. Eventually, the scorching sun shone over the city, drying the damp ground. Everything was spotless, and there was no sign of there being a thunderstorm in the morning.

In the dining hall of a villa, Josephine Bailey took a sip of coffee, and the bitter taste made her frown.

Josephine's maid, Sarah Allen, immediately noticed that something was wrong. She turned to scold the servant who prepared the breakfast, "What are you doing? I taught you so many times about how much milk you should add, right? You forgot it again, didn't you?"

Upon being reprimanded, the new maid turned red and held her breath.

"Sarah," Josephine was indifferent as she continued, "It's just a cup of coffee, so there's no need to be so harsh. Just ask her to make another cup of coffee. You don't have to scare her."

"Yes, Miss," Sarah replied politely and gave the maid a warning look. She hissed, "What are you waiting for?"

The maid thanked Josephine hurriedly, "Yes, I'll make a new cup of coffee right away. Thank you, Miss."
