Chapter 73
Three Days Later, at the Everett Group.
The receptionist looked at the handsome young man before her, forcing herself to perk up as she replied.
“…You mean Ms. Everett? She’s already resigned.”
Josh, who had come with a bag of fruit and gifts in hand, was momentarily stunned. “She resigned? When?”
“Around… a week ago, I think.”
Josh felt a buzzing in his head. “Do you know where she’s working now?”
After his father’s condition had stabilized, he’d hurried over to apologize to Brynn-
Only to find out she had already left the company.
“I don’t know,” the receptionist shook her head. “Anything else I can help you with?”
Josh, still dazed, shook his head. “No, thank you.”
He walked out of the Everett Group building, carrying his gifts, his chest filled with overwhelming guilt.
If he could go back in time, he would slap himself for what he did and said.
Why the hell did he say something so hurtful at the hospital that day?
Now he was screwed.
Mom’s going to break his legs since he didn’t apologize properly!

At the same time, at Pacific Hotel.
Brynn stepped out of the taxi, about to enter the hotel when she received a call from Dr. Caldwell.
As soon as she answered, his apologetic voice came through.
“Ms. Everett, I’m so sorry. I have an emergency surgery to attend to, so I won’t be able to meet you with planned.”
There was fatigue and hesitation in his tone.
Brynn.didn’t mind at all and replied gently, “That’s okay. Patients come first. I completely understand.”
She hesitated for a moment before casually asking.
“By the way, how is Mr. Blaze doing?”

“Don’t worry. Thanks to your Flowing Technique, he’s been improving day by day.” Dr. Caldwell paused before adding, “Oh, right–his son has been asking for your contact information. Should I…?”
Brynn was momentarily stunned and remained silent for a few seconds before sighing. “If he asks again, you can give him my number.”

She knew Josh had a lot of misunderstandings about her, but sooner or later, they had to face this. If they could clear things up, all the better,
“Understood, Ms. Everett
After ending the call, Dr. Caldwell still felt guilty about missing the meeting, Wanting to make it up, he immediately called
his friend.
The moment the call connected, his friend sounded excited, still thrilled about the chance to meet the Divine Doctor’s apprentice.
“Gary, I have an emergency, so I can’t make it. Listen, when you meet Ms. Everett, make sure to treat her with respect. Don’t be rude!”
Dr. Caldwell wasn’t trying to nag, but his friend had a notoriously short fuse. If he lost his temper, no one could hold him back, and he was worried this guy would offend Brynn.
“Oh, come on, do you think I’m that reckless?” The man on the other end, Gary Buckman, scoffed. Tm here to seek guidance from the Divine Doctor’s apprentice, not to pick a fight. Of course, I’ll be respectful! What do you take me for, some hotheaded brat?”
“That’s great,”
Dr. Caldwell knew his friend wasn’t completely thoughtless, so after a few final reminders, he hung up.
Gary put his phone away and adjusted his attire, preparing himself for the meeting.
Meanwhile, Brynn had just stepped into the Pacific Hotel.
She was about to head upstairs when a figure suddenly blocked her path.
“Brynn, why do you have to show up everywhere I go?”
Kylie stood in front of her, looking at her with undisguised disgust.
Seriously?
Shouldn’t she be the one asking that question?
