Said I didn’t Love Him But I Lied

At night, after the clinic of the hospital was closed, only the Emergency Department was taking in patients.

Christopher and Everleigh were both on duty that night. Everleigh could have left earlier, but Dr. Harrison gave her a thesis and let her take care of it. As a result, she had to work overtime in the hospital.

Her new semester at the Ocpeace Medical University had started. Everleigh had to begin classes the following week. She had just entered university and no students had enrolled with her yet, but the director of the department estimated that she would be dazzled by the number of people who would sign up for her starting next year.

When she was reading the thesis, her phone suddenly rang.

It was from the nurse in the Emergency Department, Jenny. “Hello?” said Everleigh.

“Dr. Trevino, are you still in the hospital?” Jenny asked.

“Yeah, what’s the matter?”

“That’s great,” Jenny sighed in relief. “I’ll have to trouble you to come to the Emergency Department immediately. There is a girl here. Her knee is injured and her bone is dislocated.”

Everleigh frowned, “Isn’t Dr. Meyer there? Moreover, you should look for the orthopedics team for bone dislocation.”

“Don’t mention it. Dr. White of the Department of Orthopedics went home as he had something to deal with. Dr. Lawson, who is on shift, hasn’t arrived yet. Dr. Meyer was supposed to settle it as it’s not a big deal, but somehow, he was slapped by that girl.”

“Huh? What?” Everleigh almost thought she had misheard. “Slapped? Christopher?”

“Come over first. You’ll know once you’re here.”

The condition didn’t sound serious and it was not a big deal to be slapped, but it was worth a look when it was about Christopher. Everleigh immediately hung up the phone and went to the Emergency Department.

It was rare to see such a lively scene, thus it was worth it.

At that moment, the Emergency Department was as busy as usual. There were many people injured or sick in the middle of the night. All the rooms were full, and the temporary beds in the hall were separated by curtains.

When Everleigh arrived, Christopher was holding an ice bag to his face. He was more than one meter away from the girl on the hospital bed. Christopher was talking angrily with someone, and a group of nurses next to him tried to calm him down.

“Where are your manners? You slapped me out of the blue. I’m a doctor. If you’re unhappy with my treatment, why did you come to the hospital?”

The girl, Loraine, was wearing a blue basketball suit and had beautiful eyes. She looked only about sixteen years old, with braids in her hair. Colorful ribbons were tied to her hair with a small bell, and the sound of the bell ringing could be heard when she moved her head.

“I’ve never seen such a lecherous doctor like you. I didn’t ask for you. I said I wanted a female doctor. Why did you put your hands on my friend’s body and touched her?” said Loraine.

“Touched her?” Christopher immediately became anxious and jumped up from his chair. “You have to give evidence when you speak. You can’t spout nonsense like this!”

“Dr. Meyer, calm down. The girl is still young and insensible.” The person next to him hurriedly pulled Christopher, afraid that he would do something rash.

However, Loraine was not willing to back down, and she raised her eyebrows. “Why, do you still want to fight? Is this how you treat patients as a doctor? What kind of garbage are you? Treating the sick and saving the patients? Bah!”

There were many people in the hall, who were pointing fingers at him. When they heard this, they walked around Christopher to avoid him, showering him with disdain. Obviously, Christopher would definitely take the last place in the patients’ satisfaction board that month, and he had to be criticized publicly.

Everleigh couldn’t stand it anymore. She walked forward quickly and stopped in front of Christopher. “What happened?”

Jenny, the nurse who was holding back Christopher, looked at Everleigh as if she had seen a life-saver. She said hurriedly, “Dr. Trevino, you’re finally here. It’s nothing. It’s just that the girl’s friend had suffered some injuries. Please take a look.”

“What look? Ask her to go to another hospital,” Christopher huffed.

“Enough. Shut up, you.” Everleigh lowered her voice and warned Christopher. “Don’t you know what you did? Can you still come to work if you really made a fuss?”

“I didn’t do anything. What can I do to a girl who hasn’t even grown up yet? I’m not a pervert.”

“This is the situation in this country. Is this the first time you know about it?” Everleigh glanced at him and motioned the nurse next to him to pull him away quickly.

The children nowadays were mischievous and annoying. Although Christopher was a flirt, he wouldn’t really mess with two little girls.

After Christopher left, Everleigh walked to the front of the two girls. “Who is injured? Let me take a look.”

Loraine crossed her arms and sized up Everleigh. “Aren’t there any older doctors in your hospital?”

“Why? Do you think only the older doctors have good medical skills?”

Everleigh pulled Loraine to the other side and then pulled open the isolation curtain behind her. She saw another girl lying on the bed. The girl was dressed like an ordinary high school student, still wearing her school uniform. Her hair was tied up in a ponytail and she looked delicate and introverted.

Her knees were bent on the bed, and the blood where her skin was scratched had already clotted, but she was still drawing cold breaths.

“Don’t simply touch her. It hurts,” Loraine said.

Everleigh sat on the bed and pulled over the small medical cart. She took the medical gloves and put them on. Then she touched the calf of the patient, Mabel, who was lying on the bed. “Does it hurt here?”

“It hurts!” Mabel’s face instantly turned pale and she bit her lower lip.

“Hey, didn’t I tell you to be gentler?” Loraine said hurriedly.

“You think I’m not gentle?” Everleigh glanced at Loraine and said, “It will be much more painful when I set her bone straight later.”

As soon as her words fell, the color drained out of Mabel’s face. “Loraine,” She called out with a trembling voice.

Loraine hurried over and held Mabel’s hand. It was obvious that they had a good relationship.

“Mabel, don’t be afraid. It won’t hurt. I’m going to ask for an older doctor for you.”

Everleigh said blandly, “I’m the only female doctor in the Emergency Department today. There’s no one else for you and if your friend’s ankle bone isn’t cured as soon as possible, it will have complications in the future. Will you find another doctor for her then?”

“Are you trying to scare me?” Loraine raised her eyebrows.Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

“Loraine,” Mabel tugged her sleeve and gritted her teeth, “Listen to the doctor.”

Everleigh was not in a hurry. She looked at Loraine calmly, “What about you? If you insist on not letting me treat her, I won’t do anything.”

Loraine clenched her teeth, looking angry, but she was helpless. She huffed, “Treat her!”

Loraine had a cold aura when she raised her eyebrows, and there was a heroic spirit in her huge eyes. Even if she didn’t have the eye-catching braids, her appearance was still outstanding in the crowd.

Everleigh didn’t know the reason, but she looked very familiar to her. She wondered where she had seen her before.

The bone setting was not difficult. It was a compulsory course for all medical students. Everleigh needed to find the right position, use the correct strength, and stick to the ‘fast, accurate, and ruthless’ rule. Good doctors could set a bone without the patient feeling any pain at all.

Everleigh was rubbing Mabel’s ankle when there was a sudden commotion outside the curtain. Someone screamed. It seemed that something like an infusion bottle had been knocked over.

While the two girls were looking away, Everleigh exerted strength.

“Ah-“
