Everleigh understood what Erine was feeling at the moment, but the reality was always different. Christopher was sincere. She shouldn't keep herself away from him all the time. It wouldn't do anyone any good.
"Think about it. If you insist on going back, I won't stop you. It's just that someone will be sad."
Erine heard what she said and her cheeks turned slightly red. Obviously, she was stimulated by her words.
Everleigh did not say anything else. She could only go back and tell Christopher the truth.
Upon hearing this, he felt even upset. He said sadly, "What do you mean? Didn't you say you'd help me make her stay?"
"If you do this, it will have a reverse effect. You have chased after so many girls, don't you already know this? There is a knot in Erine's heart. If you keep forcing her like this, she will break down," she explained, exasperated.
What was this guy thinking? He was a pro when giving advice to others, but why could he become so insensible when it came to himself?
If he tried a little harder, he wouldn't fail.
"What do you mean by that?"
"I mean, you should show more concern to Erine these three days. If you really can't, ask for a leave. I'll help you keep an eye on her and you try your best to convince her. Didn't Mrs. Meyer also get involved last time? If you can't do it alone, you can mobilize the whole family. I don't believe Erine won't give you a chance," Everleigh's crisp voice echoed through the office. Excitement was shown across her face as she spoke.
Hearing this, the corner of Christopher's mouth twitched slightly. Why did he feel that this was what he had said before? Why did it sound different when the words came out from her mouth?
That didn't make sense.
"Do you hear me?"
"Yes I did. Everleigh, don't you think you sound a lot like me just now?" He asked in a weak voice.
She was stunned. She thought about it, and it seemed to be true. People often said that one's character would always be influenced by the environment and people surrounding them. Perhaps she was influenced by him?
That was too dramatic.
The next day, Christopher asked for a leave and went straight to Erine. Everleigh was very busy.
She had to take over his patients.
At noon, she came to Saniogo's ward, exhausted. He couldn't bear to see her wolf down her food. "Everleigh, do you want some rest? Look at you. You seem like you haven't had a good night's rest."
"It's okay. It's our job; it's what we do," she waved her hand and said indifferently.
Ever since Cecil came, she didn't go back home but stayed with Alexander to take care of Saniogo. Missha went back instead. No matter how young she looked, physically, she was already in her late 40s so it was hard for her to keep up with them. There was no reason for her to keep staying there for Saniogo. They might as well send her home so she could manage the family's affairs too.
Cecil picked up some food for her and said faintly, "Was it because of Christopher's love affair that made your number of patients increase?"
Everleigh nodded and said, "I supported it too. Erine wanted to go back, but Christopher was unwilling to let her go. He wanted to take advantage of these three days to have a good talk with her, so I helped him."
Cecil was even more disdainful of him. She sneered, "Wasn't he the one who claimed to have slept with all the women in the world? How did he manage to fall for Erine?"
"There is an exception to everything." Everleigh disagreed with her words.
They were friends after all. There was no reason to make fun of him.
