Said I didn't Love Him But I Lied

Everleigh was stunned. She knew the reason for the meeting. She nodded gently and said, "Let's go."

They went to the meeting room. Many doctors were there, including Maxwell, who was sitting in his own seat. When he saw her, he lifted his eyes slightly and looked down again.

She was confused. She didn't know what was going on.

When Benedict saw that almost everyone had arrived, he opened his mouth and said, "For today's meeting, I just want to inform everyone that those who went to the countryside are returning soon, and also about the hospital's administrative system..."

When Everleigh heard that the meeting was about some unimportant matters, she became sleepy. She didn't have a good rest the night before.

As she listened to Benedict's long presentation, she almost fell asleep.

"Dr. Trevino."

Everleigh heard him call her name. However, she didn't realize that everyone was looking at her sleepy face. "Yes, Mr. Lawson?"

"Are you here to sleep?"

"I'm sorry, I didn't sleep well last night." She knew that she was wrong, so she didn't dare to say anything else.

Maxwell, on the other hand, was completely speechless; he felt embarrassed for her. Even if she didn't like to hear Benedict's boring nonsense, she still had to pretend to be attentive, but she didn't even try to do so.

"Is that a valid reason? Look at yourself, you look nothing like a doctor right now, you're really..." Before Benedict could finish his sentence, the door of the meeting room was pushed open. Theodore walked in with a bunch of his men. Everyone was shocked to see those people marching in.

What in the world was going on?

When Everleigh saw him, she instantly became clear-headed. "What are you doing here?"

His cold gaze swept over her. The corners of his lips curled up, then he immediately returned to his cold demeanor.

"I'm really sorry to disturb you, Mr. Lawson, but I have to talk to you urgently. Please come outside for a minute," Theodore said apologetically, but his face didn't show the slightest hint of guilt. Benedict looked at his expression, and was dumbfounded for a moment.

"Mr. Godfrey, what can I do for you?"

"It's certainly some good news. Please, follow me," Theodore said coldly. At the same time, Moses and two other men were already standing beside Benedict. If he refused to go out, they would drag him out. He was considered a senior, so it would be embarrassing for him to be threatened by others like that.

"I'm sorry, can we talk about this after the meeting..." Before Benedict could finish his words, he was dragged away by Moses and another man.

"Mr. Lawson!"

When the others saw it, they wanted to stop Moses, but Theodore's cold voice rang out again, "I just want to talk to him; it won't be long. There's no need to worry."

Upon hearing his voice, the two people who were shouting for Benedict had both frozen.

Then, Benedict was taken away in front of all the doctors just like that.

Theodore followed them out as well. Everleigh, on the other hand, sat there quietly. After all, it wasn't appropriate for her to interfere with their matters.

The meeting room that was originally peaceful became even quieter. Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to say. It was the first time Benedict was dragged away like that in the middle of a meeting. "Finally, some peace." Maxwell's powerful voice sounded, and it ;was accompanied by a sigh of relief.

"Dr. Harrison, Mr. Lawson will be fine, right?"

"He'll be just fine. Theodore isn't a thug, are you worried that he will kidnap him? Speaking of Benedict, what kind of meeting is this? Talking about a bunch of nonsense certainly won't bring any changes to the hospital," he said straightforwardly.

He had almost fallen asleep, not to mention Everleigh.

If Benedict wanted to praise or criticize someone, he could've done it directly.

It was meaningless to beat around the bush during a meeting.

Everleigh suddenly remembered Maxwell's impatient look when she first entered the room. "Dr. Harrison, what is this meeting actually about?"

"All he wanted to say was that those who went to the countryside are returning soon, as well as announce the names of those who have been included in the excellent doctors' list. You, Stainley, and Christopher, the three of you are on the list." Maxwell felt very proud when he said it. After all, Everleigh was his student. He was obviously happy that his student had achieved a great result.

Everleigh and Stainley's eyes met. They had no idea what was going on.

As soon as Maxwell said those words, everyone whispered among themselves. There were a few other doctors who had shown excellent performance besides the three of them.

It didn't take long for Benedict to come back, but he no longer looked angry. Instead, he looked at Everleigh with a bright smile on his face.

"Well done, Dr. Trevino. You have made a great contribution to the hospital."

Everleigh stared at him with a puzzled look and asked, "What are you talking about, Mr. Lawson?"

"Mr. Godfrey looked for me just now to inform me that he is hiring you as their chief researcher. This hospital does lack talents in the medical technology field." Benedict was so delighted that his eyes couldn't even open properly. She looked at him in a daze. She recalled that Theodore did say the night before that he was going to look for her, but never could she ever imagine that it was regarding something like that.

"Are you saying that Everleigh has been officially employed?"

"Yes, Mr. Godfrey also mentioned that if the research is successful, our hospital can purchase their equipment at a rate below the market price."

His words made all the doctors gasp. Selling below the market price was basically gifting them the equipment.

For a moment, everyone looked at Everleigh. No one had ever imagined that she had such big dreams.

Hey there! Just a friendly reminder that if you're not reading this book on nel5s.org, you might be missing out on the complete story. Head over there to dive into the next chapter-it's all free! As Stainley glanced at her, his eyes dimmed a little. He realized that he could never keep up with her.

She was still flabbergasted even after the meeting had ended.

Maxwell noticed her stunned look and sighed softly, "Are you still feeling amazed? Don't you know anything about this?"

"How would I know? I just told him that I have some ideas. I haven't even come up with a comprehensive plan. Who knows..." Everleigh's mood at that moment was indescribable.

"Everleigh, I have faith in your standards. It's not impossible for you to research medical machines, but your career as a doctor..." Maxwell was very reluctant to let her go.

She was a promising talent; she would surely make a difference in the field of medicine.

Everleigh understood his feelings. She comforted him, "Dr. Harrison, don't worry. I won't give up on medicine. Besides, a chief researcher doesn't necessarily have to stay in the lab everyday, right?" Maxwell was relieved to hear that.

"That's good. I will have to depend on you to continue my legacy." He wasn't joking.

She knew what he was thinking, and she felt very honored to be able to continue his legacy. Unfortunately, her hands... She just couldn't hold on to scalpels for too long.

No matter how hard she tried, she just couldn't improve much.

She could only pray for a miracle to happen.

"Dr. Trevino, take a look at this." A young nurse came in with a shocked look on her face. She was holding her phone tightly.

Everleigh was frightened to see her reaction.

"What's the matter now?"
