“He was demoted and one of his patients died in the middle of a surgery."
Instead of getting angry, Carlos smiled and asked, “Evelyn, what do you think of your dad?"
Evelyn ground her teeth and told him what was on her mind.
"I thought you were a decent man, but ever since you set me and Joshua up to deceive Sheffield, I'm not so sure anymore."
Carlos nodded.
"So, you think I'm messing with Sheffield?"
“Well, not really." Evelyn gathered herself.
"You got him demoted, didn't you?" She didn't think Carlos could have caused that patient's death.
Carlos didn't deny it.
However, he really had nothing to do with the patient's death.
It happened so suddenly that no one had expected it would happen.
“If Sheffield doesn't deal with the medical trouble properly, his research is going to fail," Carlos pondered seriously. Who would buy medicine that was developed by a doctor whose patient died on the operating table?
Sheffield was definitely going to pay for this.
This wasn't lost on Evelyn. Flustered, she looked at Carlos and stammered, "Dad, can you..."
Carlos looked her in the eye, waiting for her to finish her sentence.
Evelyn thought she was being naive by even thinking of asking her father to help Sheffield. However, she didn't have any other idea left.
She didn't know what to do. She bit the bullet and asked, "Dad, can you help him?"
Carlos found this both funny and annoying. He didn't know what to do with his daughter.
“Evelyn, are you asking me to help a man who almost killed you?"
“Dad, it wasn't his fault entirely. He probably didn't expect that I'd get pregnant. It's unfair to put all the blame on him..." Evelyn choked.
“Who else should we blame then? You? Was it fair for you to suffer that kind of pain?" To Carlos, it seemed as if Sheffield had brainwashed his daughter.
“Now is not the right time to talk about that. Dad, please help him.
I‘1l Listen to you from now on, okay?" Considering Carlos’ stature in
Alprith, if he didn't help Sheffield out, then no one else could.
“Are you willing to marry Calvert if I help him?"
