Chapter20 Where Have You Been?
With Helene’s assurance, Old Mr. Bamford felt he wasn’t wrong about her. But simultaneously, he was worried that if Carlisle missed such a girl, he would regret it.
At this time, Helene’s phone rang, and Niall asked the family members to sign the papers before the operation.
Only then did Helene know that Zion hadn’t come this
morning.
Seeing Helene’s anxious look, Old Mr. Bamford told her to deal with it first. He would be OK to wait here alone.
The International Department was not far from her grandma’s inpatient building. Helene thought she would return quickly, so she asked the nurse to look after Old Mr. Bamford and left.
Her grandma’s operation was hazardous, so Niall tried to explain it to her in detail. Half an hour passed without her noticing it.
Suddenly, her phone rang.
Helene quickly picked it up. Before she could speak, she heard Carlisle’s icy voice, “I don’t care where you are now. If I don’t see you within five minutes, never return.”
With that, Carlisle hung up the phone.
Helene got up and ran outside. She could hear the
suppressed anger in Carlisle’s voice. Something must have happened to Grandpa.

Niall didn’t know what was happening, so he came right after
her.
The two came to the International Department panting and saw Carlisle standing at the emergency room door.
“What happened to Grandpa?” Helene asked anxiously.
“Where have you been?” Carlisle’s face was cold, “I handed Grandpa to you, but you left him. Do you know that he just passed out in the lounge? If I hadn’t arrived in time…”
“I just left for a while. How could this happen?”
“A while? The nurse said you had been away for at least forty minutes.” Carlisle’s eyes were bloodshot, “Helene, if you are not competent, you should have told me before we got married.”
“Sir, no one wants such a thing to happen. Don’t put all the blame on Helene.” Niall was a little excited.
Carlisle looked at Niall coldly, “She was with you just now?”
“Yes, she is my patient’s family member. Just now, was introducing the patient’s preoperative risks to her.”
“Really?” Carlisle recognized that Niall was the man who had driven Helene back that night. “Then what are you doing
now?”
“Are you trying to be a hero?” Carlisle’s anger had peaked, “What is your relationship?”
“Carlisle, don’t get me wrong. This is all my fault and has nothing to do with Dr. Anderson.” Helene had thought that although Carlisle was not good at words, he had a mild
Chapter20 Where Have You Been?
temper. She had never seen him so violent.

Even if he had been mad at her last time because of the prenuptial agreement, it wasn’t as scary now.
Helene was frightened.,
“I’m asking you. What’s your relationship?” Carlisle’s voice resounded throughout the corridor, making Helene shiver in fright.
Niall was also slightly frightened, but he still tried to explain, “Miss Lopez is just a family member of my patient. I came along because… I was worried about her…She just ran out after receiving the call. I thought something serious happened.”
“Who do you think you are to worry about her?” Carlisle pulled Helene away and said domineeringly, “Let me tell you, I am her legal husband. I hope you will stop meddling in other people’s business.”
“Are you married?” Niall looked at Helene in shock, and the disappointment on his face was undeniable.
“Yes.” Helene didn’t know why Niall looked so disappointed.
“I’m sorry.” Niall turned and left unhappily.
As soon as Niall left, Carlisle immediately let go of Helene. Then he turned indifferently and walked to the door of the emergency room.
At this time, a German doctor walked out of the emergency room. He was Old Mr. Bamford’s attending physician.
The German doctor spoke his native language to Carlisle.

Carlisle’s German level was limited to daily communication, but he couldn’t understand some medical terminology well.
Unexpectedly, Helene, on the side, could understand it. She had minored in German in college and reached an advanced level.
She spoke fluent German with the doctor and quickly understood Old Mr. Bamford’s condition.
“What did he say?” Carlisle was surprised that Helene could speak German so well.
“The doctor said that Grandpa’s life is not in danger for now, but his condition is serious. A special drug in Germany can relieve it a little…”
“Can we go in and see Grandpa now?”
Helene translated for him.
The doctor nodded and led them into the emergency room.
Old Mr. Bamford was already awake. When he saw Helene and Carlisle coming together, he smiled at them, “I’m fine. Don’t be afraid.”
The German doctor, Dr. Smith’s translator, had not yet
arrived, so Dr. Smith invited Carlisle and Helene to his office and asked Helene, who was more professional in German, to translate for them.
Dr. Smith took out the case of Old Mr. Bamford, pointed out several critical points of the disease for Carlisle, and explained the follow-up treatment plan.
Thanks to Helene’s accurate translation, the conversation

went smoothly.

Even in the face of a world-renowned medical expert, Helene was calm and confident. Carlisle couldn’t help feeling impressed.
Ultimately, Carlisle and the doctor confirmed the date of Grandpa’s surgery and the follow-up treatment plan.
Dr. Smith was full of praise for Helene’s translation, praised Helene’s beauty in broken Chinese, and offered to hire her as his translator during his outpatient visit to the hospital.
But before Helene could express her opinion, Carlisle declined.
Dr. Smith felt very sorry and finally asked for Helene’s contact information.
According to Old Mr. Bamford’s physical condition, the hospital suggested he stay there for a week for a thorough physical examination.
Carlisle thought it was inconvenient for Helene to take care of his grandfather as a girl, so he hired a nurse for his
grandfather. This way, Helene could take care of her grandma simultaneously.
After they came out of the ward, Carlisle grabbed Helene.
“Thank you for today. I…I wasn’t very calm in the morning…” Carlisle stammered in embarrassment, trying to apologize for yelling at her.
Helene thought Carlisle looked a little cute and decided to tease him.

“Were you jealous of Dr. Anderson this morning?”
“No,” Carlisle answered very simply.
Helene felt a little disappointed.

Then Carlisle said, “Don’t misunderstand what happened in the morning. I just lost control of my emotions for a while. Even if you really like that doctor, I wouldn’t mind. I hope that you won’t leave my grandpa behind next time.”
Helene’s face turned pale instantly.
Hadn’t he forgiven her yet? Or had he misunderstood her?
Helene wanted to explain. But when she thought of the photo in the morning, she changed her mind.
Since he didn’t like her, what was the point of explaining?
Carlisle deliberately slowed down, but Helene said nothing, and he somehow felt upset.
For several days in a row, Helene stayed with Old Mr. Bamford during the day and went to accompany her grandma at night. Carlisle seemed to avoid her deliberately. Every time Helene left Grandpa’s ward, he showed up.
In the blink of an eye, it was the day of her grandma’s surgery.
The operation was scheduled at 3:00 p.m., and Niall was the chief surgeon.
