Deep Love Hidden From Him

Chapter 63

He was a thin older man in his sixties. He looked like he would be carried away by the wind. He wore a pair of round glasses, and his eyes were bright. A glance from him was enough to intimidate others.

"Dr. Harrison, why are you here?"

The doctor who was tending to Everleigh's hand was young, and he was shocked.

Dr. Harrison snorted and strode in with his hands clasped behind his back. His gaze was fixated on Everleigh, and he snapped, "You'll have to ask your junior over here. Her medical skills remained the same, but she's getting better at avoiding me!"

"Junior?" Dr. Carter was taken aback, and he turned to Everleigh.

Everleigh smiled at him awkwardly and replied, "What a coincidence. You're Dr. Harrison's student too?"

Maxwell Harrison was not only the director of surgery at Everleigh's hospital, but he was a famous cardiac professor and scholar at Ocpeace Medical University too. He contributed countless academic papers, and he had many students around the world. It was not surprising to meet a few of his students in well-known hospitals.

When Everleigh was studying at Ocpeace Medical University, Maxwell was her supervisor, and he was her mentor when she was doing her internship as well. If she did not go abroad, Maxwell would eventually become her masters' professor too.

After introducing each other, Dr. Carter was surprised and envious. He returned Everleigh's medical license and marveled, "You're so talented. You're so young, but you're a chief surgeon."

Before Everleigh could reach out to take her medical license, Dr. Harrison snatched it away. He scoffed, "If I knew that her temper remained unchanged, I would have kicked her out as soon as I saw her name on the hospital's list. Things were much better abroad, right? Why bother coming back? You should just stay in Maniville! I'm going to call the hospital and ask them to send you back to Maniville!"

As he spoke, Dr. Harrison turned around to leave, not allowing Everleigh to explain herself.

"Dr. Harrison," Everleigh called after him, but he refused to turn around. She grabbed her handbag hurriedly and chased after him. "Dr. Carter, I'm sorry, but I have something to do. Let's catch up next time."

Everleigh rushed to the hospital entrance, but Dr. Harrison's back looked as towering as ever.

"Dr. Harrison, Dr. Harrison." Everleigh darted to Dr. Harrison and blocked his path. She explained, "I'm sorry, and it's my fault." 'Your fault? Who would dare to comment on your behavior?" Dr. Harrison glared at her and snapped, "You were injured, but you wouldn't even go to your own hospital. Why did you come all the way here? Are you going to mock me or yourself?"

"Of course not! I'm doing this for your sake too."

"For me?"

Everleigh bit the bullet and explained, "I can't get back to work because of some personal issues, right? It'll be weird if I go back to the hospital right now. If everyone knows that I was your student, you'll be humiliated too."

"Only idiots will believe the rumors. With that said, Benedict is getting senile."

Benedict Lawson was the dean in Everleigh's hospital. Although he was not very famous, he was still a dean. Dr. Harrison was probably the only one who was bold enough to comment on Benedict

like that.

After so many years, Dr. Harrison could not get a promotion because he was too straightforward.

After bringing up the topic, Dr. Harrison's face relaxed a little, and he concluded bluntly, "You don't have to return to the set. Just go home, and I'll take care of the rest. Don't go and get yourself involved with those nonsensical work, do you hear me?"

Despite being scolded, Everleigh was not angry. On the contrary, she smiled cheekily and replied, "Yes, I heard you."

Dr. Harrison kept a straight face and snapped, "Stop smiling like that. I'm not done yet. Your hand is important, and you need it to perform surgeries. Don’t you know how important it is?"

"I know."

"Then why didn't you take care of it?"

"It was an accident, Dr. Harrison. I'll definitely take care of it after this. I'll even get insurance for my hands when I get my paycheck."

"Hmph, as if there's any insurance company who will insure it for you."

"Dr. Harrison, I've apologized, so please don't be angry," Everleigh added with a smile, "You didn't drive here, right? I'll drive you back to the hospital."

"I'm not going back to the hospital. I'll go home."

"That's great." Everleigh's eyes lit up, and she continued, "Mrs. Harrison is at home, right? I haven't tried her roast beef for a long time now. Come on, let's go. I'll drive you home."

Everleigh pushed Dr. Harrison to the parking lot. As he walked, he poked her head and snapped, "You're getting better at currying favor, huh? Your lecturers in Maniville taught you nothing but this, right?"

"Well, my lecturers don't really pay that much attention to us. Besides, I learned everything from you."

"What did you learn from me? Don't embarrass me." "I learned a lot of skills from you. I was a good student abroad, and no one could catch up to me. It's all thanks to your teaching."

Ever since Everleigh was in college, she was skilled at flattery.

Back in college, everyone in the medical department was frightened of Dr. Harrison, but Everleigh managed to curry favor with him. Therefore, that made her a legendary figure in her department, and everyone looked up to her.

Dr. Harrison's house's interior was minimalistic. As soon as they entered, they heard some noise in the kitchen.

"Where have you been? I just asked you to get some soy sauce, so what took you so long? Did you get robbed?" There was an irritated female voice from the kitchen.

Everleigh covered her lips as she chuckled, and Dr. Harrison shot her a glare.

"Why aren't you answering me? Where's my soy sauce?" The voice from the kitchen grew louder.

Everleigh shouted at the kitchen, "Mrs. Harrison!" All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

The sound in the kitchen immediately stopped. In the blink of an eye, a thin figure emerged from the kitchen. The woman was Dr. Harrison's wife, Priscilla Brown. She was in her fifties, but she looked very elegant.

"Everleigh?" Priscilla could not contain her astonishment and joy when she spotted Everleigh. She immediately added, "You just returned to Ocpeace City, right? I asked Max to invite you over for dinner a few times. Finally, you decided to show up! I almost thought that you've forgotten about me!"

"Mrs. Harrison, you invited me over?" Everleigh sat down and gave Dr. Harrison a meaningful look. The latter was drinking tea beside her quietly.

"Of course."

"Dr. Harrison never said anything to me."

"What?" Upon hearing that, Priscilla's face changed and she glared at Dr. Harrison. She snapped sharply, "You didn't tell her?"

Dr. Harrison's hand quivered but he pretended to be calm and replied, "Yes, I didn't tell her but why should I? Back then, she just left, remember? Does she think that I won't be able to get another good student?"

"Hey, your temper grows with your age, huh? Why did you remember all those silly details? Everleigh is my goddaughter, so it's normal for me to invite her over. Why didn't you tell her?"

"I..." Dr. Harrison stiffened his neck and finally muttered, "I'm going out to get the soy sauce."

Everleigh watched as the old couple argued and she burst into laughter.

They had not seen each other for years but his wife still bested Dr. Harrison. Who would believe it if all the medical department students heard about it?
