Chapter 10
Even the interns behind Everleigh could sense that something was wrong. They started whispering amongst themselves. "Sure, I'll go." Everleigh turned to meet Theodore's eyes composedly.
Since he insisted on having her there, and even use such a way to vent his anger, then she would go along with it.
As their eyes met, Theodore's gaze got colder than ever.
Everleigh agreed to it but he was not happy.
On the contrary, her calm looks made him agitated.
"Who is Everleigh Trevino?" Suddenly, a sharp voice echoed in the hospital's corridor.
No one made a sound.
"Who is Everleigh Trevino?"
Everyone followed the voice and spotted a plump middle-aged woman. She was carrying a limited edition Hermes handbag and was exiting the elevator furiously.
After noticing Everleigh, the woman went ballistic. She rushed over and pointed her finger in Everleigh's face. She cursed, "You must be Everleigh Trevino, that sl*t!" Everleigh frowned. "Who are you?"
"Smack!"
The woman landed a slap on Everleigh's face. Everleigh could only swallow what she wanted to say. The interns gasped and the corridor went quiet. Everleigh's face turned sideways. The burning pain on her cheek reminded her that she was not dreaming. She stared at the woman in disbelief.
The middle-aged woman was livid. "You are the b*tch who seduced my husband. You cunning fox!"
As she spoke, she raised her hand again.
However, Theodore took a step forward this instant.
Josephine's eyes darkened when she saw that. She grabbed him and put on a frightened look. She leaned against him and stopped him from moving. "Theodore..." Concurrently, Everleigh reacted swiftly too. She ignored the searing pain on her cheek and grabbed the woman's arm. Everleigh said calmly, "I think you've got the wrong person. I don't know you." "Of course you don't know me! But, I know you. You're Everleigh Trevino, right? You're a doctor but I know you're a b*tch! You're the one I'm looking for."
Suddenly, someone said, "I think she's Mr. Quelch's wife."
"Did you hear that? Everyone knows me. You're shameless. You even have the audacity to seduce my husband? Shame on you!"
Everleigh knitted her brows. "You need evidence, Mrs. Quelch. I've done nothing wrong."
"Evidence?"
Mrs. Quelch sneered and slapped Everleigh's hand away. "You're an attending doctor in a big hospital. Of course, I wouldn't come to you without any evidence. There are so many people here. I'll show everyone how shameless you are."
Mrs. Quelch took out her mobile phone from her handbag and played a video. She shouted, "Look, isn't it Dr. Trevino in the video?"
In the video, Mr. Quelch grabbed Everleigh's hand and flirted with her. Yet, Everleigh did not refuse.
No one dared to give remarks.
In the midst of an uproar, Everleigh frowned at the video.
She recalled that Mr. Quelch was just admitted to the hospital back then. She was giving him an injection, therefore she did not manage to push him away.
