Chapter 5 Who Allowed You To Come Back

The next day, the entire hospital broke into an uproar because of Melly's arrival.

"I'm grateful for working in this hospital. It's such an honor to work with Dr. Melly Sherman!"

"I heard that Dr. Sherman is not only an exceptional doctor but a gorgeous woman as well. I can't wait to see her!"

Arielle snorted with disdain as she listened to the discussion among the medical staff. Regardless of how beautiful the doctor was, she would fade in comparison to her. That was what Arielle thought. After all, she was one of the best socialites in Andeport. A mediocre doctor was nothing to her.

Besides, if Melly was young and beautiful, Arielle couldn't help but wonder if she got the job through illegal means. Arielle decided to keep an eye on the doctor in the future.

Just then, an excited scream snapped Arielle out of her thoughts. She looked at the door and saw the woman everyone had been excited to see. Her eyes widened in horror when she saw who it was.

It was Melissa Sherman! She couldn't be wrong. It was undoubtedly Melissa!

Everett, too, noticed the woman at the door. A frown lined his forehead as he glared at her.

Anger simmered in his heart. How dare she come back?

Before Everett lost his temper, Arielle darted toward Melissa and raised her hand to slap her.

But Melissa grasped her wrist tightly. She looked into the eyes of the woman she hated with all her heart. "What are you doing?" she demanded, tightening her grip.

Arielle sneered, "Melissa, you bitch! How dare you come back? Everett told you never to come back to Andeport. How dare you disobey his order? Do you want to die?"

Melissa angrily shook off Arielle's wrist. Arielle lost her balance because of the high heels and eventually fell to the floor.

She turned to Everett and cried. "Everett, did you see that? Five years ago, this woman caused my miscarriage. Now, she wants to hurt me again. I don't know why she hates me so much. Can't she live without hurting me? I have lost my baby. And now I am sick and dying..."

Everett's face darkened. He walked forward and looked into Melissa's eyes. "Melissa! Who allowed you to come back?"

Melissa sneered at him. For the past few years, she couldn't return to Andeport because Everett had barred her from setting foot into this city again.

No one was willing to take her in. She couldn't even find a way to make a living and survive. She had lived under the arch of a bridge, carrying her babies, and almost died.

Life had changed her.

She was no longer the timid person she used to be.

Melissa took a deep breath and asked, "What are you saying? I don't understand."

Meantime, the director of the hospital and other medical staff rushed over. They looked at Everett and Melissa and realized something was wrong.

The director stepped forward and introduced, "Mr. Mayfield, this is Dr. Melly Sherman. She is Miss Arielle Sherman's attending doctor this time."

Arielle was stunned. The blood on her face drained. "What..."

The director looked at them and frowned in confusion. "Is there any misunderstanding? Dr. Sherman is a senior expert our hospital has hired. She has been studying abroad and has never been to our city before."

Everett looked at Melissa and frowned.

The woman in front of him looked like Melissa. However, their personality was poles apart.

Melissa was always weak and timid. She wouldn't even raise her voice when Everett was around.

But the woman in front of him was dressed in a simple suit, exuding confidence and arrogance. She couldn't be Melissa.

"Nice to meet you. My name is Melly Sherman. May I know who you two are talking about?" Melissa asked expressionlessly.
