Said I didn’t Love Him But I Lied

Selena rolled her eyes at her. This woman was really good at talking nonsense. Of course she couldn’t bear to see Leon suffer.

If Theodore didn’t rest after working continuously for a few days, wouldn’t Everleigh’s heart ache for him too?

Everleigh knew her sister was shy, so she stopped teasing her.

That night, Theodore stayed at the Trevino family’s home.

Everleigh, exhausted due to Qusay’s matter, fell asleep the moment she got in bed.

The next day, she saw Leon at the dining table after she got up. She chuckled, “When did you come back yesterday?”

“I came back this morning. I am just getting something to eat and will go to sleep later.” He seemed to be very sleepy.

Seeing that he was so tired, she didn’t say anything else. He had gone out early and returned late during this period of time. Even Alastair had mentioned it a few times.

When she thought of Alastair, he came walking downstairs. He was soon seated, waiting for Hilda to serve his meal.

“Why did you get up so early? Where is Adrienne?” Everleigh looked at him in confusion.

Alastair and Theodore’s expressions were very similar. Their gestures and actions carried a hint of arrogance from time to time.

“She’ll get up in a minute.”

Everleigh raised her eyebrows but didn’t bother too much about it.

Leon was getting more envious as he sat by the side, looking at the child who didn’t even need his mother’s help to get himself ready. When would he be able to have a child that he would be proud of?

Alastair picked up the slice of toast on the table and said coldly, “Uncle Leon, you and Aunt Selena are not married yet. As for having children, you’re still too far away from that.”

When Leon heard this, he almost spat out the food in his mouth. Did Alastair really need to put it like that? How did he know what he was thinking?

Everleigh, however, just ignored them. Alastair had always been very smart and knew what was going on just by looking at a person’s facial expressions.

Theodore came down and saw them chatting at the dining table.

“What’s wrong?”

“Nothing, I’m full. You guys take your time.” Leon finished the bread in his hands in a bite and went up to rest.

Theodore was a bit speechless with his speed, but didn’t ask any further.

Theodore sent Alastair and Adrienne off to school. It was rare for them to take the children to school together.

The children’s classmates were waiting for their arrival so they could go to class together.

Everleigh chuckled and said, “The two of them are quite close to their friends.”

“Adrienne has a bright personality so many kids are willing to play with her. On the other hand, Alastair has a cold personality. Many girls like this kind of person,” Theodore said in a low voice.

Everleigh was stunned when she heard this, “How do you know?”

He was not a gossiper. How could he know it so clearly?

A smile tugged at the corners of his lips. There were some things that he didn’t need to understand but knew with just a glance. Besides, who hasn’t had a childhood?

After Everleigh arrived at the hospital, she looked much better compared to the previous day. Christopher felt her change and couldn’t help asking, “Are you happy?”

“Not really, but we would need to look ahead, no?” She sighed. Even if she was very distressed, what had happened had already happened.

He smiled without saying anything. In fact, this was how she was. She would always be in a good mood no matter how frustrating the matter was. No one could tell that she was in a bad mood.

Even if there was, everything would be gone after a night’s sleep.

Just then, Cecil appeared.

“You look like a fool. What are you smiling about?” When she entered the room, she saw Christopher smiling.

He and Everleigh turned around and saw Cecil’s disgusted look. “Why are you here?”

“I’m looking for Everleigh.” Cecil pointed to her.

Everleigh changed into her white coat and said helplessly, “Let’s talk about it after I’m done with the rounds.”

If she didn’t make her rounds, she would be in trouble if Benedict found out.

Cecil was not in a hurry. She could just wait.

When Everleigh was checking on the patients, she saw a heart patient. Everything was normal with the machine attached to him, but just before she left, she heard the machine making sounds.

Everleigh quickly checked on the patient and ordered the nurse, “Hurry up, send him to the operating room.”

“Yes, doctor.”

“Call Dr. Smith to perform the operation with me,” Everleigh instructed as she performed the rescue measures.

The nurse did not dare to hesitate and did as she was told.

When Cecil walked out, having nothing to do, she saw Everleigh running in the corridor anxiously. A group of people rushed into the operating room.

Cecil followed. The patient’s family members were all gathered at the door of the operating room, afraid that something bad would happen to the patient.

She had nothing to do so she stood by the door and waited.

More than an hour later, the lights of the operating room went off and Everleigh was the first to step out.

“Don’t worry, the patient is fine.” Everleigh sounded like an angel, which made the patient’s family members feel very grateful.

“Thank you, doctor,” the family members said gratefully.

Stainley also came from behind. Looking at Everleigh’s skilled techniques, he couldn’t help saying, “Judging by your hand’s condition, it’s better to operate less often.”

She chuckled and said, “I know you will help me so it will be much easier for me. At least we can save lives.”

He knew that she would say that. Once she was determined in what she was going to do, no one could talk her out of it.Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“That’s true. You can just rush off to save a patient, regardless of your own life,” Cecil’s voice came from behind them.

Stainley knew her, but they hadn’t been in touch for much so they weren’t really friends yet.

“I’m going to work first. You two have a good talk.” As Stainley spoke, he turned and walked off.

Cecil was a little unaccustomed to seeing him leave so fast. She remembered that he had always wanted to talk to Everleigh. Why would he want to avoid her? What happened?

“Everleigh, didn’t… Didn’t he like you?”

Everleigh took a deep breath and said, “That’s already the past. He let go of me.”

“That’s good. I still remember what you used to do in order to avoid him.” Cecil remembered that when Everleigh was abroad, she would become inexplicably nervous when she was alone with him. Everleigh would then take her as a shield to avoid Stainley.

Everleigh smiled knowingly. It was different now compared to back then. Besides, Stainley letting go of her was a good thing for the both of them.

It was much better than wasting his youth.

“By the way, what are you here for?” Everleigh almost forgot that Cecil would normally not be there at that time.

Cecil put her arm around Everleigh’s shoulder and they walked to her office. “I’m fine. I just wanted to tell you that your cousin is free recently and wants to go on a vacation with me to the nearby cities tomorrow.”

Everleigh was even more confused. They could just go whenever they wanted to. Why was there a need to tell her?

Could she stop them from going?

“So?”

“So… Do you want to come with me? Get Theodore to come along.” Cecil was looking forward to going on a vacation together.
