Chapter 208
Theodore's voice was cold and indifferent. His expression was as sharp as a knife, making one shiver in fear.
Moses, who saw this from the side, sighed and complained in his heart. What Mr. Allen said was indeed true. Theodore was a person who was willing to suffer just to keep up his appearance. Before Dr. Trevino came, he kept urging them to deal with the matters of the Trevino family, but when she came, he pulled a long face.
"He deserves to be single!" Moses thought.
Everleigh looked a little awkward. After a while, she found her voice and said, "Then I'll go first. Remember to drink the soup."
Theodore seemed to have turned a deaf ear to her words.
When Everleigh went out of the room, Moses hurried to catch up with her, "Dr. Trevino, I'll walk you out." Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
After leaving the ward, there were not many people in the corridor. Everleigh walked at a fast pace and Moses hurried after her, shouting her name. It was only then that she stopped.
"Dr. Trevino, Mr. Godfrey's temper has been bad since he had the car accident. Please don't take it personally."
"It's alright." Everleigh tugged at the corner of her mouth reluctantly. "It's my fault."
"Your fault? What does it have to do with you?"
Seeing the puzzled look on Moses' face, Everleigh came back to her senses immediately and changed the subject. "By the way, do you want to hire a nurse for Mr. Godfrey? If you need one, I
can recommend a good candidate for you."
Although Everleigh returned to the country not too long ago, she had worked in the city hospital for a period of time. Many patients had been hospitalized for a long time, and the city hospital also worked with some special care workers. Hence, she knew of many candidates in this field.
Moses sighed, "Do you really believe Mr. Godfrey's words? I have been with him for so many years and he likes to spend time alone. There are not many servants at home and he hates others touching him..."
His words drifted off.
"I bet that if I go in and ask Mr. Godfrey about this later, he'll definitely say no."
Everleigh was dazed for a moment.
When she thought about how Theodore would rather not hire a nurse and still didn't want her help, it was obvious that he was truly brooding over what had happened previously. At the thought of this, she felt a surge of regret welling up in her heart.
"Mr. Lawson, if your boss doesn't hire a nurse, please send me a message later."
"Dr. Trevino, what are you..."
"I promised Leon that I would come over to take care of him for two days. I can't come in the daytime, but I think there should be no problem at night."
Moses was delighted to hear that. "It's fine during the day. I will be here and the medical staff in this hospital will be here as well. It's great that you're willing to come at night!"
Everleigh forced a smile, "Then it's settled. I have to go now."
It was not up to her to decide whether or not she should come. Moses was just making a guess. Given Theodore's current situation, he definitely couldn't be at ease if he stayed in the hospital alone. Perhaps he would be willing to hire a nurse.
"If he hires a nurse, I don't need to come anymore," Everleigh thought to herself.
Moses looked confident as he was sure that Theodore would definitely refuse to hire a nurse. He said to Everleigh, "Okay, Dr. Trevino. Let's get in touch later."
After Everleigh left, Moses returned to the ward.
The moment he entered the room, he saw Theodore drinking the fish soup while sitting up in bed. The entire room was filled with the delicious scent of the soup.
"Mr. Godfrey, Dr. Trevino has left."
"Okay." Theodore didn't even raise his head. He concentrated on drinking the fish soup in his bowl and quickly finished it.
Seeing this, Moses thought to himself, "Two-faced." This phrase probably referred to people like his boss. He drove her away but still happily drank the fish soup she sent when he was alone.
"By the way, Mr. Godfrey," Moses said. "Do you have any requirements for the nurse? Please tell me and I'll write them down."
"There's no need."
"No need?" Moses had anticipated this but pretended to be very concerned. "How can we do that? There's no one here tonight. What if something happens?"
"What could happen?" Theodore glanced at him. "If you say more nonsense, we'll have to go through the discharge procedures tomorrow."
Moses replied awkwardly, "Yes."
It sounded as if Theodore was forced to stay in the hospital by his assistant.
On the other side, Everleigh had just returned to her office in the city hospital. Before she could warm her seat, she received a call from Moses.
"Dr. Trevino, I have to trouble you tonight."
"What's wrong? You didn't hire a nurse?"
"No, I have already said that Mr. Godfrey would never be willing to hire one."
Hearing this, Everleigh frowned. "Then I'll head over later."
As soon as she thought about facing Theodore, her mood became complicated.
Everleigh had little experience in apologizing, so the best way was to do something for him. However, he refused her, and if she forced herself on him, it would be embarrassing.
"Could you bring another bowl of fish soup when you come?"
"Fish soup?" Everleigh was slightly stunned.
On the phone, Moses said hesitantly, "Well, didn't you bring the fish soup just now? Mr.
Godfrey finished it all and asked me to get some tonight. Where can I buy it?"
"Did he really say that?"
"It's absolutely true. Why would I lie to you?"
Everleigh agreed, "Okay, I'll bring some tonight."
The fish soup was made by Sarah, her housekeeper. Everleigh could just send a message to her to make another pot of soup. It was not a difficult task, but what surprised her was that Theodore finished all the soup.
Theodore didn't like to eat. He only had a cup of coffee for breakfast, and he seldom had anything else. She had discovered this a long time ago, so she guessed that the root cause of his stomach's illness was probably caused by this as well.
After hanging up the phone, Everleigh immediately sent a text message to Sarah about the fish soup. After getting Sarah's confirmation, she put down the phone and sat down on the office chair again. Looking at the medical records on the computer, she focused her attention reluctantly and immersed herself in her work.
After the last surgery in the afternoon, it was already dark.
Everleigh left the surgical ward in a hurry and went back to the office to change her clothes. After that, she carried the fish soup sent by Sarah on the table to the hospital Theodore was staying in. She even rejected an invitation for a dinner party held by her colleagues in the hospital.
The corridor of the inpatient department was quiet. There were only one or two medical staff members and the family members of the patients walking around occasionally.
Everleigh knocked on the door and Moses opened it.
"Dr. Trevino, you're here," Moses lowered his voice and looked carefully into the room. His voice was even softer. "I'll go first. I'll leave Mr. Godfrey to you. Please pardon me."
His words sounded subtle, but Everleigh had no time to think about it. She just nodded, "Don't worry."
The sound of the door closing was very soft; almost nothing could be heard.
The lights in the room were dim. Only a floor lamp was turned on next to the sofa. It was as if Moses was afraid of disturbing the patient's sleep. When he left, he told her that Theodore had fallen asleep.
Everleigh carefully placed her things on the table in the living room and then sat down on the sofa. She looked up at the bedroom door for a while. There was a faint light through the crack of the door. She didn't know if Theodore had woken up. She had even brought the fish soup.
At the thought of this, she got up from the sofa, crept over, opened the door a little, and looked inside the bedroom.
