Deep Love Hidden From Him
Chapter 253

"So?" Everleigh looked at Josephine and said, her tone a little more serious.

"Don't get me wrong," Josephine said calmly. "Theodore doesn't want to see any conflict between you and Aunt Madison, so he asked me to tell you not to go in. He will explain the situation to the dean." Hearing this, Everleigh almost laughed out loud.

People would think that she and Madison had a conflict because of her, but who was truly the one causing problems?

Everleigh clenched her fists hard and felt the pain of her nails pinching her palm. Her expression was indifferent. "Who are you to pass a message on his behalf?"

If she remembered correctly, Theodore had told her before that the engagement between him and Josephine had already been cancelled.

Therefore, Josephine shouldn't be here.

As they were talking, the office door opened from the inside, and a tall figure stood behind Josephine. This was such an eyesore to Everleigh, no matter how many times she had seen it.

As soon as Theodore came out, he closed the door. At the same time, Madison's sharp and mean voice could be heard from within the office. The word 'sl*t' were still faintly heard.

"Theodore, I told Everleigh about everything, but she didn't listen to me." Josephine immediately put on an aggrieved look as soon as she saw him. "She thinks I'm not qualified to pass messages for you." Hearing this, Everleigh had to admire the profoundness of their language. She casually changed a few words and the meaning of the whole sentence was completely misinterpreted.

She looked at Josephine seriously and was not willing to take the blame. She corrected her and said, "My original words are, who are you to pass messages on his behalf?"

A man was different from a woman, as a man's sensitivity to words was far less than a woman's. These two sentences did not differ much from each other in Theodore's ears.

His gaze swept over the closed door of the office. After confirming that it was tightly shut, he said, "Josephine is here to visit Grandma. I'll take care of the matters here. Everleigh, you should go back first." "The city hospital is not under the jurisdiction of the Godfrey family. I was called by the dean, so it's his call to decide whether I should leave or not."

Everleigh's face was calm, and she didn't seem to appreciate their efforts at all. After saying this, she went past them and knocked on the office door.

"Everleigh." Theodore grabbed her arm and stopped her from knocking on the door. His cold eyes were filled with a grave expression.

She didn't even look at him and coldly said, "Let go."

"Must you make things difficult?" His voice was very oppressive. "I've told you, I can handle it. You don't have to worry about anything."

Everleigh felt his grip gradually tightening on her forearm.

Looking at this scene, Josephine secretly clenched her bag strap, and her delicate face was full of suppressed jealousy. In front of Everleigh, the man Josephine loved was worthless in her eyes. The air was silent, as if this second was as long as a century.

"Why are you poking your nose into my business?"

Everleigh's voice was calm and fearinducing.

The grip on her forearm tightened before he slowly released it.

With a creak, she opened the door of the office and went straight in without looking back.

Christopher followed her in. When he reached Theodore's side, he patted his shoulder with sympathy and let out an indistinct sigh.

"Mr. Lawson," Everleigh greeted him as soon as she entered the office, and then she looked at Mrs. Godfrey, who was sitting on the sofa.

After all, she was Mrs. Godfrey who lived a life of opulent luxury. Even in such a situation, she was still wearing elegant clothes, expensive jewelry, and holding a limitededition Hermes handbag. "Mrs. Godfrey is here too." She glanced at her as a way of greeting.

Madison just snorted as if she didn't take Everleigh seriously. "Mr. Lawson, I really don't want to see the famous Dr. Trevino. Just say it. I'm listening."

Mr. Lawson also looked put on the spot. "Dr. Trevino, you... You and Dr. Meyer can sit down first." "No, thanks. We still have work to do in the department. If you have anything to say, please tell us directly." Everleigh did not intend to stay here any longer.

Christopher also stood with her. The two of them were immovable statues. They stood straight in front of the desk and looked fearless, which put an invisible pressure on Mr. Lawson.

Mr. Lawson braced himself and said, "Here's the thing. After we considered all factors, the hospital has decided to end our employment contract with Dr. Trevino in advance."

"What?" Before she could speak, Christopher, who was behind her, raised his voice and asked, "Mr. Lawson, what's the logic of this? What did Everleigh do to violate the rules of the hospital that could be a reason for her to be dismissed?"

Mr. Lawson frowned, but couldn't explain it at all.

Christopher's face turned red with anger. "You can't just abuse your power like this, right? Is everything supposed to be catered to the Godfrey family's whims as long as they make a donation to the city hospital?"

"Christopher," Everleigh interrupted him.

Mr. Lawson was also stunned. He was already over fifty years old. As he gazed at the two young people in front of him, he actually felt uneasy.

She said in a calm tone, "Fine, I accept. You can tell me when I can go about the termination procedures."

Christopher stared at her and said, "Are you crazy?"

Mr. Lawson said, "The termination process needs a month. Before that, Dr. Trevino will be suspended temporarily. As for where you worked in Maniville, I will personally send an email to explain the situation. You can rest assured that it will certainly not affect your evaluation over there."

It was clear that he wanted Everleigh to be "recognized" and he was asking her to go back to Maniville.

Of course, this was not his will. As the dean of the hospital, he wanted the best and most professional doctor more than anyone else. It was not good for him to lose Everleigh.

"Okay," Everleigh folded her white coat and held it in her hands in front of Mr. Lawson, and then she glanced at Madison. "Are you satisfied, Mrs. Godfrey?"

Madison snorted. "For Madam Scott's sake, I've already shown you mercy."

"Then, do I still need to thank you?"

"What you want most is to drive me out of Ocpeace City. It's best for me to go back to Maniville and never come back, isn't it?" Everleigh's tone was getting colder and colder. "Unfortunately even without this job, I will still stay in Ocpeace City and fight you."

"You..." Madison stood up all of a sudden, her expression extremely ugly.

Everleigh stood straight, and her voice was soft but clear. "I'll keep fighting until you're in prison. Before that, no matter what method you use, even if I have to repeat what happened seven years ago, I'll never run away. I won't go anywhere, and I'll stay in Ocpeace City."

After saying this, she put the white coat on the desk.
