Listening to his words, Felicia didn't have much feelings about it. After all, they were classmates in junior high school. They had all grown up since, and everyone was busy with their own lives. It was very difficult for them to meet again.

"Nah, it's not really a coincidence. We're all living in the same city, so it's not really hard for us to meet each other, right?" She asked.

"You do have a point there, but it's been five years since we last met, isn't it?" Lenold thought carefully.

She didn't care much about it. Even if they didn't meet for five years, so what? They would only have a casual chat when they do meet each other.

She had some food, and prepared to leave. Before leaving, she told Lenold, "You can look for bodyguards, I'll pay for them. Just make sure that both my brother and sister-in-law are safe."

Upon hearing her words, he frowned subconsciously as he had forgotten that Everleigh was already part of the Meyer family.

Felicia put a check on the table and then left.

Everleigh had an indescribable feeling when she saw Felicia being so straightforward.

"I've finished eating too, I have to get back to work now," she said.

"Alright." Cecil answered. After she cleared the coffee table, she took a garbage bag with her and went out.

After the both of them left, only then did Zeldan speak, "The scarf that you wore at the training base last time, did it belong to her?"

"Have you been going through my stuff?" Lenold replied calmly.

Zeldan chuckled. He wasn't ashamed of being exposed. Instead, he answered naturally, "It's not that I went through your things on purpose. It's just that you didn't close your drawer when you went out for a mission last time, so I saw it by accident."

Lenold didn't believe what he said.

For the past few years, he had been in the army, and had been keeping his feelings for Felicia in his heart. After all, he was a member of the Four Great Households, so it was easy for him to investigate a person.

He also clearly knew how Felicia achieved all the success she had, so he still had deep feelings for her.

The feelings were still there after so many years.

When Cecil came back, the both of them shut their mouths tacitly. Lenold then took out his phone to call his former teammates as he needed to replace some bodyguards. His teammates were quick to respond.

After Theodore left the company, he went straight to the hospital to look for Everleigh. She glanced at him and wasn't surprised. "Have you settled everything?" "Yep, I'm unemployed now." He sat down on the chair. After that, he picked up a piece of fruit that was placed on her table and put it into his mouth.

She lowered her eyes. "Did you just come here straight away? Didn't your father say anything?"

"I bet he's at odds with Xavier right now," he snorted.

He didn't want to talk too much about them.

They could do whatever they wanted to. He couldn't care less.

"So, when are you going to carry out your plan?" Everleigh asked.

"I guess I'll do it after some time. I need some rest right now. I haven't been feeling at ease ever since I took over Godfrey Group. Now that I'm free, I can finally do some things that I enjoy." Theodore felt relaxed as he spoke of it.

She chuckled. "That's true. You haven't had a good rest in these few years."

He looked at her with deep feelings, and there were other emotions in his gaze.

"Why don't you go out with me for a short trip? I can help you take a leave."

"Nah, there are too many patients in the hospital right now. All the other doctors are on leave. The dean would definitely reject my leave application." She wanted to go out for a trip too, but unfortunately, she knew that the dean would not agree.

He didn't insist any further. After thinking for a while, he said, "Tomorrow is Sunday. You should be able to have a rest, right?"

"Yeah, I can rest for a day tomorrow," she answered.

"I'll take you to the Ocean Park tomorrow. Bring along the children too. I've already promised Adrienne last time." He spoke in a deep voice. However, the joy in his eyes couldn't be hidden.

As Everleigh thought of Adrienne's excited face, she couldn't help but smile. She nodded, "Okay, I'll let them know tonight."

Suddenly, the emergency room's bell rang. She looked over. It was coming from Galen's ward.

"I have to get back to work now. I'll see you tomorrow," she said.

"Sure." Theodore's gaze was indifferent as he stared at the ward where the bell rang.

He was lost in thought.

She rushed over to the ward and saw that Galen had difficulty breathing. His whole body was drenched in sweat.

"Doctor, please hurry up and take a look! What's wrong with him?" Galen's wife, Missie, was crying.

She was afraid that something bad would happen to him.

"Don't worry, let me take a look right now." Everleigh took out her stethoscope and gave him an examination. When she heard that his heartbeat was getting faster uncontrollably, she realized that something was wrong. She immediately instructed the nurse, "Call Dr. Harrison right now. Prepare for an operation immediately."

"Noted." The nurse nodded. Next, she took out her mobile phone and dialed Dr. Harrison's number.

Ever since Everleigh returned from Africa, as long as Dr. Harrison was working in an operating theater, she would be there with him.

This time, she looked for him for an important reason as well.

In the operating room, Everleigh stood next to Galen and talked to him.

"Mr. Wood, can you hear me?" She asked.

"Yes..." He responded weakly.

She nodded and gave Dr. Harrison a look. "Professor, you must save him no matter what."

Dr. Harrison had been working with her for a long time, so he could sense that something was special about her request. Although he did his best to treat his patients every time, it was obvious that that person meant something different to her..

"He's been suffering from cancer, so his chances of survival are relatively low. If you have something to tell him, you should do it as soon as possible," he said in a low voice as he continued the operation. Everleigh stood aside and listened to his advice carefully.

Previously, she didn't dare to speak as she was afraid that he would die, but now that he didn't have much time left, it was time for her to ask.

A few hours later, Everleigh and Dr. Harrison came out of the operating theater.

Missie rushed forward and asked, "Doctor, how was the operation?"

"He's fine for the time being. He'll wake up tomorrow night. Dr. Trevino will follow up and check up on him," Dr. Harrison explained.

Missie calmed down when she heard it. She promptly thanked him, "Thank you so much, doctor! I'm well aware that he doesn't have much time left. He is just racing against time."

"It's good for you to be prepared. He will be transported back to his ward soon." Dr. Harrison sighed softly and thought to himself, "How great would it be if all family members of patients can think and talk this way."

"Relationships between doctors and patients would be much better."

Galen was pushed out of the room; he was still unconscious. His wife followed him back to the ward.

Dr. Harrison looked at Everleigh and suggested, "You should go back early and have a good rest. Come back here tomorrow night."

"Okay. Goodbye." She nodded; her clear eyes were full of gratitude.

She was really grateful for her professor's help.

When Everleigh walked out of the hospital, it was already dark. An autumn breeze blew, and it was pleasantly cool.
