Said I didn't Love Him But I Lied

Chapter 64 Act Tough

After Dr. Harrison left, Everleigh went into the kitchen to help Priscilla.

They stood behind the kitchen counter with fresh vegetables placed in front of them. Everleigh was peeling the garlic.

Priscilla stared at Everleigh and suddenly chuckled, "Max insisted on having bacon in the morning. I even lost my temper and argued with him. Well, he's a doctor, but he doesn't even follow his own doctor's advice. He can't take greasy food, but he won't listen."

Everleigh replied, "Dr. Harrison knew that I was going to come here for free food shamelessly."

"What are you talking about? It's the same when you're in college. Just treat this as your home and drop by often." "Thank you, Mrs. Harrison."

"Don't mention it. Well, Max is supposed to retire soon, but Ocpeace Medical University reassigned him, and the hospital won't allow him to quit. Yet, you know what he's like. He offended many people, and it'll put a lot of stress on him. It's not good for his health if this goes on."

"Yeah, Dr. Harrison is always very honest and straightforward."

"Too much of a good thing," Priscilla sighed, "I can't talk to him about it too. He's getting grumpier as he ages and he won't listen to me."

Everleigh burst into laughter. "Mrs. Harrison, you can't talk to him about it? But he never talks back and always listens to you."

Priscilla chuckled together with Everleigh. "Max taught so many students but you're a sweet talker. After so many years, you're probably the only one who dares to come to our house like this."

"That's because Dr. Harrison is too serious at work. Be it at the college of the hospital, the students respect him but they're afraid of him too. He would even question the students when they're eating in the cafeteria. Who wouldn't be scared of him?"

"You're never afraid of him."

Everleigh grinned and replied, "Because I'm shameless."

"It's because you're good in your studies." Priscilla gazed at Everleigh seriously and added with a straight face, "Back then, Max was upset when he heard that you were going abroad to further your studies. I guess that he was frustrated because his best student wouldn't work under him."

Everleigh explained hurriedly, "Mrs. Harrison, I'm more than willing to work under him but I had to leave for personal reasons. I always felt guilty for not staying with Dr. Harrison."

If she did not go abroad suddenly, she would have continued her studies under Dr. Harrison's guidance. Back then, Dr. Harrison was involved in a medical project. He decided to take her in and she would be the co-author for the thesis too. Yet, she fell out with her family and she needed to leave.
