The whole emergency department fell into dead silence with his bellow.
Mandy Zimmer was slightly stunned. Harvey York would never yell out this way no matter how Cecilia Zachary and Angel Quinn gave him the cold shoulder. Yet, he was showing this attitude. Was his guilty conscience eating at him?
Mandy could only keep mum while being deep in her thoughts. She did not understand the feeling in her heart.
She could not tell if she was furious, envious, or broken -hearted.
Her reasoning told her that it was normal for Harvey t o have another woman outside since she never allowed him to touch even her finger after three years of marriage.
However, when the situation had happened, her heart was rife with complicated feelings.
"Cecilia, let’s not continue.” Mandy drew in a deep breath. "I'll send you both home.”
She then stretched out her hand and took the keys from Harvey’s hands and left with Cecilia and Angel.
Mandy did not understand why she would be angry. She should not have any feelings toward Harvey.
Harvey was left speechless seeing the three of them leave. He did not know what to say.
Soon, Ella Graves walked over and bit her lower lip. She said in a lowered voice, "Mr. York, I'm truly sorry. I've caused the misunderstanding."
Harvey saved her when she was about to be destroyed. He had even helped her become the vice president of the hospital. All those were due to his generous kindness and she had not the chance to return him the favor. If his family were to fall apart because of this incident, Ella would never be able to forgive herself.
At the same time, Ella was brimming with doubts. How could such an excellent man like Mr. York be someone's live-in son-in-law? If that was his hobby, perhaps she could keep him instead...
Ella's face was flushed red with embarrassment with those thoughts.
Harvey turned to look at Ella and was speechless at the sight too. No matter how decent Ella was, she flushes red too easily. It was no wonder that she was constantly misunderstood.
He thought of Ella's innocent character and that she had to endure such a big scolding from Cecilia in public. He felt quite sorry for her and said, "Doctor Graves, please don’t take responsibility for this. It's all our fault... How about this? I will treat you to a meal after work as a sign of my apology.”
It was clear that Mandy was angry anyway. He would not be able to return home for the time being and might as well treat Ella to dinner. 1
After all, Ella had earnestly helped him twice and she had to be reprimanded today. If he did not show some courtesy, he would not feel easy about it.
"Mr. York... that would not be very appropriate, wouldn’t it?" Ella was feeling ill at ease and bit her lips to reply.
She was just interrogated by Harvey's wife's girlfriend. If she went out for a meal with him, the situation would be more muddled.
