Chapter 352 Blaming Her?
Everleigh lowered her head and kept quiet when she saw his angry look.
"Why aren't you speaking? Aren't you good with words?"
"Dr. Harrison, there's something you need to know." Christopher came over and spoke in a deep voice.
She stood up and was about to leave, not caring that Dr. Harrison was shouting at her.
She did not know what would happen after he knew about this matter, but to her, it only meant one more person would know about her past.
Even if nothing actually happened, who would be willing to believe in such a disgraceful past?
After a long time, Christopher came out and asked her to go in.
"Dr. Harrison wants to talk to you," he said in a low voice, with ripples in his eyes.
Everleigh felt a little uncomfortable being looked at like that, so she went in.
As soon as she entered, she saw Dr. Harrison's upset look. The veins on his forehead had popped out.
"Is it true what he said?"
"Yes, it was a disgraceful past. I had forgotten about it, but he suddenly appeared..."
"If you had already forgotten, you wouldn't have been that afraid when you saw him. Everleigh, this person deserves to die, but what is our duty?" Dr. Harrison said with a straight face, and the wrinkles on his face trembled a little. She lowered her head and said nothing. This was exactly why she was in a dilemma. What frame of mind should she use to save this person?
He didn't force her. "Everleigh, you don't have to take over this patient. Let Christopher handle him."
"Are you afraid that I will do something bad to him?" She said in a trembling voice, and the disappointment in her eyes gradually increased. Did they think she was the kind of person who would use her power to get even? "No, I'm worried that he will humiliate you when he sees you. Even if he can't publicize it, it still wouldn't do you any good."
Hearing his words, her dumbfounded gaze concealed her disappointment. "Dr. Harrison didn't you say..."
"Said what? I asked you about your responsibilities as a doctor. I didn't say you were in the wrong. Let's not even discuss if you're willing to treat him; he deserves to die anyway. He asked for it when he did that despicable crime," he replied with righteous indignation. He would like to teach the man a lesson personally if he could.
When Everleigh heard this, she immediately laughed and said, "Dr. Harrison, you don't think I..."
"My student is a pure and innocent beauty. I will not allow her to be tarnished by others." His words were not to comfort her, but a fact.
It was music to her ears, "You're too kind, Dr. Harrison."
"Of course... But about the new drug..."
"If we didn't have this conversation, I wouldn't have agreed to cure him, Dr. Harrison, but now, I want to."
She had almost forgotten, but it wasn't until Christopher had pointed out that someone else from the Godfrey family could've done it, that she had firmly believed it was Madison's doing. This aroused her suspicions. Coupled with what happened during this period of time, it deepened her beliefs even more.
Dr. Harrison was shocked. "What are you going to do?"
"I will save him. For my own sake too." The fear in her heart dissipated in an instant when she thought about it.
He couldn't understand her motive, but he was also gratified by her words.
She made her decision as a doctor; that alone, was enough to prove that she was a qualified doctor.
Everleigh and Christopher discussed for a long time before entering the ward.
The patient's name was Sanchez Clark, and he was fairly uncultured. Hence, the things he did were mostly unspeakable, but he treasured brotherhood. Otherwise, he wouldn't have such subordinates, as well as being chosen by the Godfrey family to do such a thing to Everleigh.
"Mr. Clark." Everleigh spoke as she walked in, but her eyes were full of fear.

When Sanchez looked at Everleigh, he subconsciously frowned. However, his face froze when he looked at her ID badge.
Especially when he read the words "Chief Surgeon Everleigh". He felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
Christopher's lips curled into a cold smile when he saw Sanchez's expression. It seemed like he had not forgotten about the incident either "Doctor... Trevino, you..."
"How sweet of you to still remember me after eight years" Everleigh placed her stethoscope where his heart would be and listened attentively. Her nonchalance was hard to describe.
However, she could feel her heartbeat the same time she was listening to him.
It was a lie to say that she didn't hate him.
Despite this, she could lose it at any moment if she kept pretending not to care at all.
Sanchez's fierce-looking face couldn't help but tremble a little. "You... You remember me?"
"How can I forget the nightmare of my life? You remember it too, don't you, Mr. Clark?" She took her stethoscope away and filled in his medical records as if nothing had happened. Sanchez was shocked, but when he saw her attitude, he laughed and said, "What can you do even if you remember? Do you dare to publicize it?"
"There's no need to threaten me. Your life is in my hands." Everleigh's lips curled up into a smile, and the chill in her eyes made people shiver.
Sanchez's smile, which was originally sneering, suddenly froze. "You..."
"Yes, I am your attending physician. I can also assure you that I'm the only person in this hospital who can cure your illness. Feel free to ask around if you don't believe me," she said calmly. She took her things and was ready to leave.

It was only then that Sanchez realized the seriousness of the situation.
Christopher, on the other hand, took his time as there was a lot he wanted to say.
"Doctor, is what she said the truth?"
"You came because you heard that someone had cured the Godfrey family's child, right?"
Sanchez nodded. He came exactly because he heard so, but he did not expect the doctor to be Everleigh.
"Then that's it. The new medicine was developed by Dr. Trevino herself and she's the only person who knows what to do. I can tell there's some resentment between you two, Mr. Clark, but I suggest you stay on her good side if you want to live," Christopher reminded him.
Sanchez's expression cracked and uneasiness grew within him.
Christopher didn't rush him either. Besides, people were willing to do anything to survive.
Everleigh returned to the office, poured herself a glass of water, and drank a big mouthful to calm herself down.
"Nice one. You sure know how to act."
"I was scared out of my mind," Everleigh gave a wry smile. Only God knew how she lived through the past few minutes.
Christopher walked over, put his arm around her shoulder, and said casually, "Everleigh, do you know what it means if you can get over this? It means that you'll be able to laugh off whatever they throw at you."
"Yeah right, as if that's how one should face their fears. Try spending all those rainy nights over the years drowned in that memory."
"And you don't have to anymore. His life is in your hands." His eyes sank slightly, and his voice became a little colder.
"Do you think I'll kill him?"
"You don't have to. You can..." He leaned against her ear and whispered.
She frowned slightly and asked with suspicion in her eyes, "Will this work?"
"Trust me, Everleigh. It's the only way we'll know who was behind that incident."
