"Constantly check on Bed 9 tonight."
Everleigh was in the corridor of the hospital as she just finished her rounds with a group of interns. As she strode down the corridor, she skimmed through the medical records and checked the interns' works.
"Dr. Trevino, the patient on Bed 8 clearly has ruptured ectopic pregnancy. Why did you tell her family that she had appendicitis?" an intern asked.
Everleigh tapped on the medical record and pointed to a column that stated 'unmarried'. She wanted to speak when she spotted two familiar figures. She tensed instantly.
Theodore was no longer wearing a hospital gown. He was dressed casually but it could not conceal the chilly aura coming from him. His eyes were dark and his lips were pale. He wore a simple white shirt, maintaining an emotionless look on his face.
Josephine was holding his arms next to him.
"It's Mr. Godfrey and his fiancee from the VIP ward. They look so good together."
One of the interns behind Everleigh spoke. Yet, she was pained when she heard that.
Back then, when she was with Theodore, only a few knew about their relationship. Josephine was one of them.
"Everleigh, you and Theodore are a perfect match. I'm so jealous of you." Everleigh’s best friend, Josephine, once said that to her.
However, it felt ironic and absurd when Everleigh heard her intern complimenting the couple in front of her.
"Dr. Trevino." One of the interns' voice made Everleigh snap back to her senses.
"Yeah," Everleigh averted her gaze nonchalantly and continued, "Pay attention to the patient on Bed 8. She has prodromal signs of depression and she'll need a counselor. Don't forget to keep her pregnancy a secret for the time being."
"Yes, Dr. Trevino."
Meanwhile, Theodore and Josephine stopped in front of Everleigh.
