Everleigh didn't like Diana. Every time she saw her, she felt very annoyed.
She didn't know why either.
"Alright then, I won't disturb you. I'll go up and take care of them first," Diana smiled faintly, showing her charming nature.
When Cecil and Everleigh saw this, neither of them spoke until she disappeared in the corridor of the hospital.
"Let's go back. Christopher and the others are leaving tomorrow, right?" Cecil dragged her to the parking lot.
"Yes, the staff members in our hospital are going to bid farewell to them tomorrow. After all, it's public welfare. Everyone should support them," Everleigh replied in a low voice and lowered her gaze. Looking at the dark street, there was an inexplicable coldness.
She always felt that something bad would happen in the dark.
Both of them were silent the whole journey. Cecil wanted to talk to her, but she didn't know what to say.
At the gate of the Trevino family home, Cecil rolled down the window and said, 'TH be in the hospital tomorrow. If Diana comes looking for you, ignore her."
"You were too obvious today," Everleigh told her
"Hmph, I can turn a blind eye to the past, but if she keeps troubling me in the future, I won't show any mercy," Cecil snorted. She bristled with anger at the mention of this.
Everleigh pursed her lips and stayed silent.
"I'm leaving. See you tomorrow." Cecil also knew that she had been tired all day, so she didn't want to say anything unnecessary.
It was only when Cecil's car was out of sight that Everleigh entered the room.
Alastair and Adrienne, who came back home, had fallen asleep. Everleigh crept into their room, but Alastair was leaning against the headboard, reading a book under the bedside lamp.
On the other hand, Adrienne had already fallen into a deep slumber. She wouldn't wake up even if there was thunder.
"Why aren't you asleep?" Everleigh asked.
"I'm not sleepy. I'm almost done with the books I borrowed from the library. I want to return them as soon as possible," Alastair whispered in his childish voice.
She walked over and sat at the bedside. She knew Alastair was a hardworking child, "Don't stay up too late."
"Mommy, did you just come back from the hospital?" He asked.
"Yes, Aunt Cecil's brother was hospitalized, so I came back home late," she explained.
Alastair stared at her with his deep gaze; he could see her tired expression clearly.
"Go and rest early, Mommy," he told her.
Everleigh reached out her hands and caressed his head. After that, she got up and went back to her room. When she closed the door to their room, she felt more uneasy. She could bear the trouble from Wilson, but she absolutely would not let him touch her children.
Her gaze became firmer when she thought of this.
The next day, at the hospital, there was a blue bus parked at the entrance. All of the medical staff gathered there.
"You guys can go back now. We will be back soon," Christopher said with a smile. He looked very delighted, but he cried bitterly in his heart.
Everleigh had been with him for a long time, so she knew exactly what he was thinking.
She didn't go this time, so she bet that he would be cursing in his heart.
When Cecil heard this, she found an excuse and came out. Seeing these people holding their suitcases, she guessed that they were the staff members who would go to the countryside.
"Well, you guys have to do a good job. Remember that I'm not asking you to go and fool around, but work hard and do your job well as the medical team," Mr. Lawson's voice was not loud, but it was forceful.
Everyone listened obediently.
Christopher felt that this old man didn't like him. He had chosen him as a volunteer for two years.
Everleigh stood beside him and taunted him gently.
"Are you doubting..."
"Just as you think, what secret does Diana have?" Cecil leaned back in her chair and stared at the ceiling as if she was thinking about something.
Everleigh didn't say anything. After all, it didn't really concern her, and she couldn't poke her nose into other people's business.
They heard the sound of knocking on the door.
Everleigh and Cecil looked over and saw Yvonne standing at the door. They had not seen her for more than a day and she had already lost a lot of weight.
"Everleigh, are you free to talk?" Yvonne asked.
"Okay, please come in," Everleigh pointed to the chair aside. Cecil took a look at her and said, "I'll go back first. I'll come and look for you later."
"Alright." She nodded.
After Cecil left, Everleigh served Yvonne a glass of water, "Yvonne, are you okay?"
"No, I'm not. Everleigh, you are also a doctor. Please tell me the truth. Does Loraine really have any hope of waking up?" Yvonne asked.
Everleigh was startled and responded softly, "Yvonne, I won't hide it from you anymore. There is hope for Loraine to wake up, but she'll need your help. Otherwise, she would be a lost cause."
After Yvonne listened to her explanation, she felt that her words were ambiguous. She wanted to ask the doctor, but it turned out to be the same as Everleigh had said.
Yvonne's eyes welled up with tears, "Everleigh, what do people live for? Is it to experience these worries?"
Everleigh was taken aback and she didn't know how to answer her.
She wasn't any different.
"Yvonne, stop saying such words. Things haven't reached the worst point yet." Everleigh comforted her.
