Deep Love Hidden From Him
Chapter 338

When Theodore heard that she was working on a new medicine, he was a little surprised. "How did you..."

"I couldn't do any operations when I was abroad, so I could only take in some patients and write prescriptions. Whenever I had nothing to do, I'd stay in the research lab," Everleigh explained, looking a little distressed.

After all, she did not have much confidence at the moment.

"You've always been very confident in your work and I'm sure you'll do just fine. I'll visit you at the hospital when I'm free."

"Forget it. Hansen is in the hospital. If you and Yvonne come across each other, I'm afraid that you..." She didn't continue, but her eyes were filled with worries.

His lips curled into a smile. His confidence easily caught people's eyes, just like how he had been a year ago, full of glory.

There was nothing that could hold him back.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine," he said in a deep voice.

She was relieved to see him like this. It was about time to pick up Alastair and Adrienne.

Although Theodore was reluctant to part with her, he had no choice. However, he believed that it wouldn't take long for them to be able to be together openly. She was in a good mood. Even when she picked up Alastair and Adrienne, the smile on her face never disappeared.

When Adrienne saw her, she laughed and said, "Mommy, are you very happy to see us?"

"You are my babies. Of course I'm happy to see you." What Everleigh said was true.

She hadn't seen them for a year. How could she not miss them?

Alastair sat in the car and remained silent. His eyes were as deep as water.

When they got home, Selena came back too. Her hair was tied up and Adrienne was fascinated. "Wow, Aunt Selena, you're so pretty. I want it too."

Selena scooped her up and said with a smile, "I'll ask them to do it for you the next time I take you to the set with me."

Everleigh came in and looked at her new style which was quite special. It suited her elegance.

"Okay, Alastair is coming too."

Abraham heard Adrienne when he came down. He handed a document to the boy. "Take a look at this, Alastair."

"Yes, Grandpa." Alastair was sitting at the dining table but went to the sofa as soon as he was called.

The two of them were deep in thought.

Selena looked at him and thought that he was looking more and more like Theodore. "Alastair had been spending a whole year living like this."

"It's good that he's into this." Everleigh did not want to interfere in this matter. He would be competent when he had his own career in the future; at least he would not starve to death.

The next day, Everleigh got herself ready and went to the hospital. After going through some procedures, she went to the laboratory and continued her research on the new medicine. She wanted to see if there were any flaws.

Previously, some trainees had now become doctors. One of them stayed while the others had already moved on to other hospitals.

In short, each person had their own path to follow.

"Dr. Trevino."

"Oh, it's you. Why are you free to come here today?" Everleigh looked at Dr. Lawson and asked.

"Dr. Harrison asked me to call you over. He said that he has something to tell you." Dr. Lawson watched her actions and noticed that the new medicine had a strong smell. "What a strong smell."

"This medicine was collected when I was abroad. It'll take some getting used to," she explained. She took off her gloves and was ready to go replace Dr. Harrison.

Apart from Dr. Harrison, Christopher and Stainley were also in the office.

Everleigh didn't understand why he asked them to gather.

"Dr. Harrison, are you looking for me?"

"It's about Hansen's illness. Not a lot has worked when he was under Stainley's care, so I wanted to see you if you have any suggestions." Dr. Harrison's eyes were bright, but it still couldn't conceal the sorrow underneath.

"Dr. Harrison, have you seen his medical reports?"

"Yeah, I've read it. His heart is not in a good condition. If it goes on like this, I'm afraid..." He didn't continue but everyone knew what was on his mind.

Christopher and Everleigh subconsciously wanted to look at Stainley, while he just sat there unmoved and without any emotions on his face.

Everleigh couldn't say that he didn't do well. After all, he just wanted to stand up for her.

"Everleigh, I have a bold suggestion. Can you... use your new medicine?" Dr. Harrison said in a heavy tone. It was a bet.

However, it was a dangerous one.

Hearing his words, she was stunned. "Dr. Harrison, it's only in the clinical stage now. I'm not sure if it will even work. Not to mention, Hansen's identity is quite special. If something happens to him, you and I can't afford to bear the responsibility."

"Yeah, Dr. Harrison, you'll be sending Everleigh to her death. Don't you know about Yvonne and Everleigh's relationship?" Christopher couldn't sit still. He thought that it was something else, but he didn't expect it to be such a big deal.

Dr. Harrison listened to Christopher's words and looked displeased. "Of course I know. That's why I'm having this discussion. Besides, I didn't say to use it right away. We still need to talk to the patient's family." Stainley refuted. "That's impossible. Yvonne prioritizes Hansen's condition very much. When I first treated him, she was very worried. I don't think she will agree with your suggestion."

"I agree with him. Although I have been his family doctor, I can see her love for her children. I think you should give up on this idea."

Everleigh also felt that it was not a good idea.

Listening to what they said, Dr. Harrison could only give up too, but he still hoped to convince her. Maybe there would be a turn for the better.

She didn't refuse it either. She could only say that she would try her best.

In the afternoon, Yvonne took Loraine to the ward. Loraine was in a standard working suit. Her previous arrogance and lively aura had disappeared. Instead, she seemed a bit depressed and worried. Everleigh could see that Loraine didn't want to take over the position.

"Aunt Everleigh."

"I haven't seen you in a long time, Loraine," she responded with a smile. She turned to look at Yvonne and nodded as a greeting.

"I heard Dr. Harrison say that Hansen isn't feeling well, is that true?"

Everleigh did not answer her question immediately. Instead, she carried on with her work.

Looking at Hansen's pale face, Loraine felt bad.

He could still go to school before, but all he could do now was to lie here.

After Everleigh finished her examination, she took Yvonne to her office and showed her Hansen's x-ray film. Her soft voice spoke slowly, "Yvonne, take a look at this. This is Hansen's current situation. His heart is beginning to deteriorate. If it goes on like this, things can get very serious."

"Then... What should we do? Do we need to go overseas for a heart transplant?" Yvonne was shocked when she heard the news and was a bit lost.

Everleigh shook her head and said, "I wouldn't suggest a heart transplant. Hansen is too young. He won't be able to take it."
