Everleigh was really not used to it. She was a doctor, not a public figure.
However, when she came to the hospital, everyone joked with her.
"Dr. Trevino, your singing is so wonderful. Why don't you sing for us?" One of the nurses said to her.
Everleigh sighed helplessly. "Don't make fun of me."
"I'm not making fun of you. Since we've finished poking fun at Dr. Meyer and Dr. Harrison, it's your turn now," another young nurse said with a smile.
Everleigh felt both amused and embarrassed. Could they get over it?
At this moment, she suddenly felt that the ground was shaking.
She couldn't stand steadily. She was about to walk out with her hand on the wall when someone suddenly shouted, "It's an earthquake! Get out of here!"
When the nurses were about to run away, the earthquake stopped.
Everleigh looked up at the surroundings. There were no cracks on the walls. She breathed a sigh of relief. This must be an aftershock.
Just when everyone was relieved, a voice suddenly came from the radio. "There's an earthquake in Lanado City. We need everyone to take part in the emergency response."
As she listened to the radio, Everleigh grabbed her things and walked out to see Erine and Christopher at the door. They also had first aid kits in their hands. The three people got in the car and left for Lanado City.
Such things were voluntary. Not everyone from the hospital would go.
Everleigh was always at the forefront of these things when they happened.
Ocpeace City was also affected by the earthquake in Lanado City. Apart from the city center, other areas were also seriously affected.
Christopher sent a message to the Meyer family and told them that he had gone to the disaster area.
Everleigh sent a message and asked Selena to take care of Alastair and Adrienne. She also sent a message to Theodore.
When he saw it, he told her to be careful.
Another earthquake might happen in the disaster area again. Thinking of this, he was really worried.
There were no updates from Everleigh when they were close to the city. The signal and communications towers had collapsed.
It was impossible to contact the outside world.
After Everleigh got out of the car, she began with first aid. Many workers at the construction site were injured and needed a doctor's help.
Erine studied orthopedics, so she was needed the most when it came to these kinds of things.
The day passed quickly. Everleigh didn't have a single drop of water, let alone eat anything.
When she finally had a rest, she was exhausted.
Christopher came over and gave each of them a bottle of water. "Here, drink some water."
"Okay." Erine took one over. Her hands were shaking so much that she could not even open the lid. Finally, she put it down.
Christopher wasn't much better off, but he still had enough strength to open the bottle of water.
Everleigh had already fallen asleep. She didn't even feel hungry but only wanted to have a rest.
A group of government officials came over, carrying food in their hands.
"This is some pasta. You should have some before you sleep. We'll take care of the rest," the leader put the food down and said in a deep voice.
Christopher nodded. "You all have worked hard too." Seeing that their clothes were very dirty, he knew that they had been busy all day.
The doctors had no place to rest, so they just leaned against the chair in the shed.
Everleigh didn't eat anything. She woke up from hunger in the middle of the night. When she wanted to eat, the food had gone cold.
Seeing that Erine stopped talking, Everleigh stopped speaking as well and closed her eyes to rest. She had to change shifts the following morning.
The next day, Everleigh and the rest started working after having their meal. The rescue team from the government had saved quite a few people. They were all part of the backup team and they all worked very hard.
"Dr. Trevino, this man had a heart attack and his legs were hit by a big stone," the nurse explained.
Everleigh nodded and knew what to do.
At this time, in Ocpeace City, when they couldn't get through to Everleigh, Abraham was a little anxious. Although they were conducting the rescue operation, it was still dangerous.
Another earthquake could happen again at any time.
"Dad, don't worry. I'll go to the hospital and ask about it." Leon knew that Abraham had not slept all night. If it went on like this, the old man would not be able to stand it anymore.
"I'll go with you. Dad, take a rest first." Selena was also a little worried, so she followed Leon to check out the situation.
"Hurry up and come back," Abraham urged.
The two of them called Theodore on their way over. At this moment, he would definitely get in touch with them.
However, they couldn't reach him. He didn't answer his phone.
"How's it going?"
"There's no need to ask. Theodore will definitely go look for your sister," Leon said helplessly. If anything was to happen to Everleigh, Theodore wouldn't just sit there and do nothing.
When Selena heard that Theodore had also gone there, she heaved a sigh of relief. "I won't worry about it if he is there. He'll take care of Everleigh."
"That's true. We still need to go to the hospital to ask about the situation there. That way we can at least give Dad an explanation." Leon looked at the road ahead and chuckled. His previous worries had disappeared.
At this time, Alexander and Cecil had arrived at the hospital. They wanted to know about Everleigh's situation as well.
