Chapter 65 Act Accordingly

After leaving Dr. Harrison's house, Everleigh went back home with Priscillia's gifts.

Adrienne loved meat. Her eyes lit up when she saw the roast beef. She put down the pizza and tailed after Everleigh, waiting for her to heat the food.

The two children were eating when Everleigh received a phone call from Christopher.

Everleigh answered the call and strode to the living room. "Hello? What's up?"

Christopher replied, "I'm just checking to see if you're feeling better."

"Sort of." Everleigh stretched her injured arm and added, "I don't have to go to the hospital after this, and I can just change the bandage at home. In a couple of days, it'll probably heal." "What about your work? Did the hospital let you return to work?"

"Not yet." Everleigh was a little annoyed at the thought of that, too. She sat down on the sofa and leaned against it. "But I met Dr. Harrison today, and he said he'd work things out."

"Dr. Harrison is too upright. Two years ago, I met him at an international academic exchange. I don't think he'll be able to solve it."

"Are you sure? Dr. Lawson is Dr. Harrison's student, so Dr. Lawson should be willing to compromise."

"That is if no one stands in his way."

"What do you mean?" Everleigh was puzzled.

"Are you getting stupid after returning to Ocpeace City?" Christopher taunted, "Think about it. You started out as a normal doctor. You took care of your patients, but suddenly, the patient's family member misunderstood you. Because of that, rumors started spreading like wildfire, and you were suspended. After that, you became a medical expert on set, and now you're injured. Don't you think that everything sounds a little fishy?"

Everleigh frowned. "Do you think that someone is pulling strings behind my back?"
