Deep Love Hidden From Him

Chapter 6



Chapter 6

The next morning, Benedict, the Director, informed Everleigh that she was no longer in charge of Theodore. She was assigned to another VIP ward. Coincidentally, it was right next to Theodore's room.

Everleigh met many annoying patients before but it was the first time for her to deal with someone as tiresome as the patient before her at the moment. NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

"Does it hurt over here?"

Everleigh asked as she pressed her hand on the man's chest.

"It's not here. It's a little further down," the man replied.

"Here?"

"A little further down."

Everleigh was speechless.

Her hand was already on the man's lower abdomen...

She frowned and replied unhappily, "Mr. Quelch, the records show that your heart is not in a good shape, that was why you were hospitalized. Well, if I go a little further down, I'm afraid you have problems with your prostate. I can get you a urologist."

In just one morning, Mr. Quelch pressed the bell over eight times. He was complaining about suffering from pain all over his body. The nurse could not do anything because he would insist on having Everleigh to check on him.

"No need for that. It's just a small problem." Mr. Quelch suddenly grabbed Everleigh's hand and caressed her wrist. He complimented, "Dr. Trevino, your hand is so beautiful."

The lecherous look in the man's eyes almost made Everleigh throw up. She withdrew her hand hurriedly and concluded, "Mr. Quelch, I think you're all right now. I'll get back to work."

Everleigh turned to leave without looking back. She should just stay away from that guy.

As soon as she stepped out of the door, she spotted a familiar figure striding towards her.

Theodore was returning to his ward after getting an endoscopic procedure. Everleigh did not know why but there was no nurse caring for him.

In the corridor, she met his eyes and the air went still.

Everleigh was in a daze when she heard Mr. Quelch's voice behind her. He caught up with her and pestered, "Where are you going? You haven't finished the check- up. I will complain about you if you don't."

When she recalled how Mr. Quelch caressed her hand, a chill ran down her spine. She was desperate and she rushed over to Theodore. She held his arm and asked, "Mr. Godfrey, are you okay?"

Theodore glanced at her hands before staring at Everleigh's face. His inhospitable eyes made her panic.

"Dr. Trevino!" Mr. Quelch just came out of the ward but he stopped dead in his tracks when he noticed Theodore. Mr. Quelch asked, "Mr. Godfrey? What happened to you?"

Anyone who could afford to stay in a VIP room was either wealthy or influential. It was not surprising for Mr. Quelch to know Theodore.

Everleigh gave Theodore a pleading look.

"Please, do me a favor!" she thought desperately.

Theodore remembered that Everleigh was outgoing and bright. She was enthusiastic and generous. Although she was persistent and worked hard in her studies, she would act cute or give way in a relationship. She was like a perfect girlfriend.

It had been seven years. Yet, he could not refuse her when she stared at him pleadingly.

Theodore frowned and replied faintly, "I'm not feeling very well. Please take me back to my room."

"Oh, I see. Well, Dr. Trevino, please send Mr. Godfrey back to his room," Mr. Quelch urged dryly.

Everleigh nodded and helped Theodore to his room. Her heart was pounding.

She was at a loss, therefore she asked Theodore for help without thinking. After coming back to her senses, she was surprised that Theodore was willing to help her.

Perhaps, he did not resent her?

"Slow down." Everleigh helped Theodore sit on the bed. She stood up and uttered gratefully, "Thank you for what you did. I'll... I'll leave now."

"Stop right there!"

She heard a cold voice behind her. She felt like she was being thrown into the freezer and it chilled her to the bone.

Everleigh stopped moving.
