Said I didn't Love Him But I Lied

Just as Jenny was a little surprised by Everleigh's words, the elevator door opened.

"Dr. Trevino, I'm going back to work."

"Okay." Everleigh took out her vibrating phone from her pocket and answered it while walking to her department. "Hello? How's it going there?"

The call was from Christopher. He was responsible for following up with the police to record Paul's matter.

"We're taking notes now. Paul drank a lot, and he just vomited all over the place. He hasn't recovered yet, so we can't get any information from him. The police plan to take him back to the police station first." "Then, you need to go with them too?"

"Yes, that's why I called you to ask you to cover my shift for me at the ER."

Everleigh subconsciously looked at the time.

It was as if Christopher was a clairvoyant and could see what she was doing through the phone. He said, "I've called Mom and told her that you wouldn't be picking up the children tonight. Let them stay with her. The driver will send them straight to school tomorrow."

Both of them were working overtime that night, but Everleigh could have left before half-past eight. Everleigh was supposed to let the two children have dinner with the Meyer family, and she would pick them up later. It seemed that she couldn't make it now.

Since it was too late to go back and pick the children up, Everleigh didn't say much, "Okay, I'll go now. If I had known this earlier, I wouldn't have left."

"Okay, talk to you later."

After hanging up, Everleigh returned to the ER.

The hall that was in a mess previously was almost cleared. Most of the patients who came here in the middle of the night were either injured by accident or had acute problems like gastroenteritis, so there were no serious cases. Just as Everleigh sat down in the office, she heard a knock on the door.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

"Come in."

She thought it was a nurse. However, when the door opened, a young girl with braided hair came in. It was that girl named Loraine.

"Dr. Trevino." Loraine blinked at her. Her initially cold face was glistening. "Can I come in?"

Everleigh was stunned for a moment. "You haven't left yet?"

Loraine waved the white coat in her hand. "This is yours."

When she was dealing with Paul, Everleigh casually took off her coat and threw it away. Later, she could not find it and thought she lost it. She didn't expect Loraine to have picked it up.

"Thank you." Everleigh stood up and took the white coat. Out of the corner of her eyes, she saw a glimpse of the gauze on Loraine's neck and asked with concern, "Is the wound on your neck okay? Who bandaged it for you?" "I'm fine." Loraine shook her head and said, "Dr. Meyer bandaged it for me."

Hearing this, Everleigh laughed and said, "What? You don't think he is a hooligan anymore?"

Loraine felt a little embarrassed as she mentioned it. "I didn't mean that. My friend is timid and has a strict family. At first, I said I wanted a female doctor... I already apologized to Dr. Meyer."

"You didn't get scolded?" asked Everleigh.

Loraine was stunned.

Everleigh smiled again and said, "Well, Dr. Meyer is not a petty person. Thank you for bringing my coat back to me. If there is nothing else, you should go home. Where is your friend?" "Her driver came to pick her up."

"What about you? Is no one picking you up?"

Loraine shook her head, sitting on the other side of the desk. She was completely different compared to how arrogant she was before.

It was almost nine, and Everleigh was also worried about Loraine going home alone. Everleigh said, "How about this? I'll call a car to send you home. Where do you live?"

However, Loraine did not agree immediately. She asked, "Dr. Trevino, when do you get off work?"

"What's wrong? I think it will be in more than an hour."

It would take Christopher at least more than an hour to come back from making the report at the police station.

Loraine said, "Then I'll wait for you to get off work. Can you take me home?"

Hearing this, Everleigh was stunned. She was a little confused.

This girl was not being courteous at all.

"Aren't you afraid that I'll kidnap you? Won't your family be worried if you went home at 10?"

"It's okay. I often go back late," Loraine said. Without waiting for Everleigh to agree, she put her bag down in the corner and sat on the sofa, "Dr. Trevino, I heard from Dr. Meyer that you are the deputy director of the cardiac department, so you are very familiar with heart disease, aren't you?"

"Why? Do you doubt my qualifications?"

Loraine smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I apologize."

"You don't need to apologize. I have encountered this kind of thing many times. You are still young. In the future, you should know that you shouldn't judge a book by its cover. Real talents don't rely on age."

"I understand."

Everleigh still had to treat patients, so she didn't have much time to chat with Loraine. Loraine was also aware of the situation, and she nestled on the sofa. She put her earphones on, shutting the world off. She left Everleigh be.

It was half-past ten. Everleigh received a call from Christopher after treating a patient with a burn.

"I'm done here and I'm on my way to the hospital. You should head home. Drive safely."

"Okay." Everleigh looked in the direction of the room and saw Loraine lying on the sofa through the door. She was still full of energy as she swung her legs around. "Let me send a young girl home first." "Which young girl?"

"The one who called you a hooligan."

"Gosh..." Christopher's voice came from the other end of the line. "That girl hasn't left yet?"

"Enough. She is still young so don't be petty with her. She told me she apologized to you. Didn't she?"

It was late so Everleigh had no time to bicker with Christopher. She quickly checked on several patients in the department. Then, she hung up the phone and went to the room to call for Loraine. "Let's go." Everleigh took off her white coat and carried her bag. She waved to Loraine, who was on the sofa, and said, "I'll take you home."

Loraine immediately removed her earphones and propped up from the sofa. "You're off work."

"Yes, let's go. Where do you live?"

"At Yoreast."

"Oh, it isn't Yoreast Hills Garden, is it?"

Yoreast Hills Garden was the most luxurious residential area in Ocpeace City. It was priced at a rate that ordinary people could not even afford if they starved themselves their whole lives. However, judging from the girl's attire, she probably was from a well-off family. Her earphones, which Christopher also owned, were at least 3, 000 dollars.

Loraine smiled and said, "Yes, do you want to come and visit my house?"

"There's no need. I'll send you home so that your family won't think that you've been kidnapped."

When she drove her car from the hospital, Everleigh didn't use any navigation and took a path heading towards Yoreast Hills Garden.

Loraine, who was sitting in the passenger seat, asked curiously, "Are you from Ocpeace City?"

"That's right."

"No wonder you're so familiar with the roads. Your car is not bad. My mom also has one but she is terrible at driving. She ran into the garage the first day she bought it and never drove it again." Loraine was a chatterbox and talked to Everleigh about her family the entire way.

Everleigh didn't ask anything. She knew that Lorraine's mother was a painter, her father was a businessman, and her brother seemed to be in poor health.

"Dr. Trevino, I have something to ask you."

"Yes?"

"Are you in need of money?"

Everleigh was startled. She glanced at the person in the passenger seat in shock, thinking that she heard her wrong. "What?"
