Everleigh did not hear his voice for a long time, and felt a little uneasy. "Hello? Are you still there?"
"I'm listening." Christopher spoke in a low voice.
She was embarrassed. She didn't tell him anything about what she had done, and he only knew about it after it appeared on the news. Hence, it was reasonable for him to be angry. He was the one who had helped her without hesitation at the very beginning.
"Are you mad at me?" She asked cautiously.
He frowned and replied coldly, "What do you think?"
"I think you are."
"Of course I am, but just a little bit. You have your own considerations, so it's better for me to not comment on it."
She froze for a moment and remained silent.
He took a deep breath before he asked, "What are you going to do next?"
"Expand the company, but Wilson won't just let it go so easily." Everleigh's voice was cold; she really hated him.
That man had been enduring for such a long time for the sake of the Godfrey family, so how could he possibly let Theodore leave just like that?
"Well, you'd better be careful then. If there's anything you need, just look for Felicia."
Everleigh had already bothered her a lot. The two bodyguards were also hired by her. If Felicia didn't tell her, she wouldn't have known that Wilson had already made a move.
She told her about it when they were on their way to the Meyer family's home the previous time.
It was also at that moment that she finally understood why Theodore wanted to set up a company all of a sudden.
He had already known about Wilson's attempted attack.
"Alright, that's all. I'm working right now. We can talk about this when I get back." Christopher knew what was going on when he didn't get a response from her.
She always liked to let her imagination run wild. He had been helping her for so many years; he would definitely not back out now.
What a silly woman!
She was inexplicably relieved to hear his voice. She didn't want to be estranged from him just because of this matter. She didn't want to lose him as a friend.
One month later, Everleigh and Theodore's study was officially released and published. The first clinical trial was set in Benedict's hospital. He was impatient for Everleigh's research to be completed, as it would be a good prospect for the hospital.
She and the other researchers observed the trial of the new machines in the hospital every single day, and were researching a few new drugs at the same time.
They were so busy that they didn't even have time to rest.
Dr. Harrison looked at Everleigh and couldn't help but tease her, "Since when did you become so hardworking?"
She smiled helplessly. "Well, as a doctor, I have no other choice. I'm just trying to benefit the public, and make their lives happier."
When he heard her words, he immediately mocked her, "Hmm... These words sound so weird coming out of your mouth."
"Am I wrong?"
"It's very important for a medical practitioner to have medical ethics and be benevolent, but not what you're doing right now, using a bunch of big words," he lectured her seriously.
She was forced to listen to his lecture. She really couldn't describe her feelings at that moment.
Wilson received the news as soon as the experiment results were released. He stared at the information in his hands with coldness in his eyes.
"Everleigh is truly impressive."
"Mr. Godfrey, what should we do now?" The secretary standing beside him suddenly asked.
