Chapter 168
As soon as she got out of the hospital, Everleigh called Christopher.
She drove towards the suburbs of Ocpeace City. As soon as she told Christopher that she was still in Ocpeace City, Christopher exploded, "What? Why are you still in Ocpeace City? Didn't you tell me that you were in the service area of Tin Hill three hours ago?"
"It's a long story. I met an elderly woman who had a sudden heart attack in the service area. After giving her emergency treatment, I waited for an ambulance to come, which took up a lot of time."
"F*ck, how can you run into all kinds of things? You aren't trying to fool me, right?"
Everleigh said helplessly, "There's something else that is more absurd. Do you know who the old lady I saved was?"
"Who was it?"
"It's..."
Before Everleigh finished her sentence, a new call alert came through her Bluetooth headset. "I'll tell you later. I have a call from Mr. Lawson."
"Why is he calling you? I don't usually see him in the hospital anyway," Christopher muttered. "Alright, you pick up first. I'm busy here too."
"Alright."
After hanging up Christopher's call, Everleigh pressed the answer button and answered the call from Benedict.
"Hello, Mr. Lawson."
"Everleigh, have you arrived at the village?"
"Not yet. Something happened on the way. It's estimated that I'll arrive a little later. Don't worry, Mr. Lawson. I won't delay my work. I'll finish the work before the deadline and before going back."
"No, I'm not talking about this. You don't have to go to the village anymore."
"Huh?" Everleigh was stunned for a moment. When she saw the green light turn red before her, she stepped on the brake and almost went through the red light. "Why?"
"Here's the thing. There's a new job for you in the hospital. We have transferred some other people to the village, so you don't have to go." "What new job? Is it very tricky?"
"It's a sudden thing. It also happened that you haven't gone to the village yet. You will know when you come to the hospital tomorrow. In short, this project is very important to the hospital, so you must do a good job."
Project?
Everleigh didn't know what was going on, but she couldn't clarify over the phone, so she didn't ask any more questions.
It was normal for a hospital to have an emergency. She was only a deputy director physician. In terms of big issues, she still had to follow her boss' orders.
After hanging up the phone, Everleigh turned around at an intersection ahead. On the way home, she bought a cake, hoping to surprise the two children.
When she arrived home, it was already the afternoon and the children had just finished their lunch.
As soon as Everleigh came back, Adrienne's eyes immediately lit up. She jumped up from the sofa directly and stretched out her arms for a hug from a distance. "Mommy, Mommy, Mommy!"
Everleigh put down the cake, went over and picked her up. "Oh my, how much did my baby eat? You're so heavy!"
Adrienne hugged Everleigh's neck and did not let go. "Certainly not. I'm heavy because I'm your whole world. Of course, the whole world is very heavy!"
"Aren't you clever," Everleigh pinched her nose and sat down on the sofa with a smile. She touched Alastair's head and said, "I bought you a cake. Do you still have room to eat?"
"Wow, cake! Is it strawberry cake?"
When Adrienne heard that there was food, she immediately unfolded Everleigh's hand, stepped on the carpet with her bare feet and went straight to the cake.
Alastair was much calmer. He looked at Everleigh seriously and asked, "Mommy, weren't you on a business trip? Why are you back?"
"Yeah Mommy, aren't you supposed to be on a business trip?" Adrienne held the fork and her nose was stained with cream as she wasn't paying attention. She didn't know that, but she was staring at Everleigh with her eyes blinking.
Everleigh bent down and wiped the cream from Adrienne's nose. She explained, "I'm not going anymore. I suddenly have something to do."
Adrienne's eyes immediately became brighter. "Really? Can you accompany Alastair and I to participate in the school's sports day?"
The two children's school had a parent-child sports day the next week, and the school had sent a message early that morning. However, Everleigh's business trip had been set earlier on. Originally, they thought that she couldn't go and Adrienne was in a bad mood for a long time.
"Yes, I can go now." Everleigh looked at the two children with a smile and patted the muscles on her arms. "We will be champions then!"
"Yay!" Adrienne immediately raised her hand and danced with joy. It was not enough for her to be happy alone and she insisted on jumping with Everleigh.
Alastair, who was sitting on the sofa, touched his forehead helplessly.
Women were really troublesome, he thought.
The next day, Everleigh went to the hospital as usual.
Because of the project mentioned by Benedict on the phone the day before, she went straight to the dean's office to look for him after changing into her white coat. However, she only found Benedict's secretary, Karen Harvey.
Karen said, "Dr. Trevino, are you looking for Mr. Lawson? He is not here." "But Mr. Lawson told me about a new project yesterday."
"Oh, Mr. Lawson told me when he left. It's like this. There is a new patient in the VIP ward of the in- patient department. Mr. Lawson meant that you are designated to be the attending physician for this patient."
"VIP ward?" Everleigh frowned. "Just because of this? This is the project Mr. Lawson mentioned?"
"Of course. Don't underestimate this patient. She has a lot to do with our hospital," said Karen, pointing at the ceiling. "There's someone up there. It's not easy to deal with her."
Everleigh had seen too many cases like this in the hospital, so she was used to it. She asked directly, "What did the patient do for the hospital?"
With a mysterious look, Karen raised a finger and said, "Take a guess."
"She donated one million?"
Karen shook her head in disdain. "Dr. Trevino, release your imagination to your heart's content."
"Ten million?"
Karen continued to shake her head and said in a voice that only Everleigh could hear, "She donated a building."
When she heard this, Everleigh took a sharp breath.
Awesome!
Were the rich so bold nowadays? In order to move into the VIP ward and appoint an attending physician, they would casually donate a building.
"Dr. Trevino, you really are the money tree of this hospital!" Karen came up to her and winked. "We'll depend on you from now on."
Everleigh pulled up the corners of her mouth and said, "You'd better take me to see the patient first. What kind of difficult and complicated disease requires such a big array of shows that includes donating a building? If she can't be cured, will they raze our hospital to the ground?"
"Bah, bah, can you say something better? The old lady is in good spirits! It's just a heart attack." Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
Old lady?
Everleigh stopped. Something suddenly flashed through her mind and her heart skipped a beat. At this moment, her expression changed as well and she directly walked towards the elevator.
