The Don's Orphan Wife Is A Mafia Empire Princess (Elara) novel Chapter 45

Chapter 34 Tricky

“You like Grayson?”

Evelyn Hart asked instead of answering, her tone teasing.

Chloe Young was momentarily stunned by her attitude and blurted out, “Of course.”

After realizing what she said, she glared at Evelyn Hart and bluffed, “What’s it to you? Anyway, don’t you dare try to seduce Grayson.”

After experiencing Leah Foster’s disgusting behavior, Evelyn Hart didn’t take Chloe Young’s threats seriously at all. She just smiled gently.

“Don’t worry. Mr. Hayes and I are just friends.”

Chloe Young looked at her suspiciously and blinked. “Really?”

She didn’t actually want to do anything to Evelyn Hart, but she simply wouldn’t allow anyone to compete with her for Grayson Hayes.

Evelyn Hart nodded. “Really. We just met recently. We’re just interested in medicine and have some exchanges.”

Normally, Evelyn Hart didn’t like to make enemies casually.

So, she didn’t want to completely turn against Chloe Young, who had only threatened her but not actually harmed her. Chloe Young thought carefully about Evelyn Hart’s words, seemingly trying to judge their truthfulness.

However, before she could come to a conclusion, a cold and familiar voice rang out.

“Chloe, it seems you didn’t take my warning to heart at all.”

Chloe Young turned around and saw Grayson Hayes standing in front of Evelyn Hart, looking at her with icy cold eyes. She instinctively shook her head and began to defend herself. “Grayson, I didn’t. I just came to talk to her.”

She felt guilty and didn’t dare to meet Grayson Hayes’ gaze.

Grayson Hayes immediately understood her intentions and sneered, “Do you think I’m that easy to fool?”

Chloe Young was on the verge of tears but couldn’t think of a good excuse to defend herself.

Just then, Evelyn Hart stepped forward and smiled. “You’re mistaken. Miss Young just came to exchange some medical knowledge with me.”

Chloe Young looked up at Grayson Hayes gratefully and nodded vigorously. “That’s right. I just think Miss Hart’s medical skills are excellent and wanted to invite her to have a match with me.”

Her tone was sincere, but Grayson Hayes didn’t believe it.

However, since Evelyn Hart seemed to want to smooth things over for Chloe Young, he didn’t expose her on the spot, though his expression remained extremely unpleasant.

“Better be the case. Chloe Young, you don’t want to know the price of offending me.”

When he said this, he looked at her as if she were a dead person, and an overwhelming sense of pressure washed over

her.

Chloe Young swallowed hard. Even though she was reluctant, she could only mutter a “Fine.”

For a moment, the atmosphere was tense. Evelyn Hart took the initiative to ease the situation.

“You said you wanted to have a match with me? Let’s go up then.”

Evelyn Hart could tell that Chloe Young really did want to have a match with her, probably to catch Grayson Hayes’

attention.

Chloe Young stole a glance at Grayson Hayes, then nodded dejectedly and followed Evelyn Hart onto the stage.

As a medical student, Chloe Young was a formidable opponent.

After going up against her, Evelyn Hart indeed found her to be a tricky rival. Chloe Young had a solid foundation in medical knowledge.

Unfortunately, since Chloe Young hadn’t really started working yet, she lacked a lot of practical experience.

No matter how rich her theoretical knowledge was, it was all just theory. When it came to actual practice, Evelyn Hart was at ease, while Chloe Young was hesitant and awkward.

There was no doubt about the final result. Evelyn Hart won the match beautifully.

Chloe Young couldn’t swallow it. She looked at Evelyn Hart, raised her chin, and said haughtily, “You only won by luck this time. Next time, you won’t be so lucky.”

Evelyn Hart smiled and nodded, then walked off the stage. Grayson Hayes came up to her with a smile.

“Congratulations. You’re probably going to be today’s champion.”

For some reason, this time, Chloe Young just glanced at Grayson Hayes and quickly looked away.

Evelyn Hart withdrew her gaze and said modestly, “There’s still a lot for me to learn. My performance today was just average. I’m just glad I didn’t embarrass my teacher.”

Grayson Hayes’ smile remained unchanged as his gaze landed on Caleb Gray.

“You really made him proud today. The smile hasn’t left his face.”

Evelyn Hart and Grayson Hayes exchanged a smile, and everything went unsaid.

Just as Grayson Hayes had said, Evelyn Hart shone brightly in the subsequent competitions and won the championship brilliantly.

Watching Evelyn Hart confidently giving a speech on stage, Grayson Hayes was momentarily distracted.

Evelyn Hart was truly an interesting person.

After this exchange competition, Evelyn Hart became well-known among many in the medical field.

After the conference ended, Caleb Gray found Evelyn Hart and said seriously, “Evelyn, since you have ideas, I plan to take you to my friend’s house. You can give it a try first.”

Caleb Gray let out a sigh, looking extremely downcast.

“His condition is getting worse. We can’t keep delaying. We have to try everything we can.”

Grayson Hayes furrowed his brows, equally troubled.

He looked at Evelyn Hart in front of him and explained, “That’s right. I went to see him yesterday, and he had already fallen into a brief coma. The situation is very grim.”

Evelyn Hart took a deep breath and looked at Caleb Gray.

“Okay, I’ll go and take a look tomorrow.”

Caleb Gray nodded and sent Evelyn Hart home.

The next day.

Evelyn Hart followed Caleb Gray to the house of the friend he had mentioned.

It was a single-family villa, luxuriously decorated, and there were probably dozens of servants in the house.

When they saw Grayson Hayes, their attitudes became even more respectful, which made Evelyn Hart a bit puzzled.

But seeing that Grayson Hayes didn’t seem to want to say more, Evelyn Hart could only suppress her curiosity.

Soon, they saw the patient Caleb Gray had mentioned on the second floor.

The room was filled with sophisticated medical equipment, and there were no fewer than twenty doctors in white coats standing around.

They gathered around the patient’s bed, frowning, and occasionally chatting with the people next to them.

Mostly, there were sighs and expressions of helplessness, clearly indicating that the treatment plans hadn’t been ideal.

Caleb Gray ignored those doctors and said gently to Evelyn Hart, “Evelyn, this is my good friend. I’m counting on you. Please do your best to save him.”

Evelyn Hart nodded and took the initiative to approach the patient’s bedside. It was an old man with a kind face, his eyes closed and his breathing barely perceptible.

Without hesitation, Evelyn Hart immediately took the old man’s hand and began to feel his pulse.

The more she felt, the more shocked she became. No wonder even Caleb Gray couldn’t do anything. It was indeed quite challenging.

The old man’s internal organs were gradually failing, and his vital signs were weakening.

The situation was more difficult than she had imagined.

She put the old man’s hand back and looked grave.

“Caleb, it’s indeed very tricky. We must implement a treatment plan immediately.”

Caleb Gray looked at his friend, and tears glistened in his eyes.

“Evelyn, this is my best friend. You must find a way.”

Evelyn Hart nodded, determined.

“I’ll start the acupuncture right away.”
