Said I didn't Love Him But I Lied

Alastair wouldn't believe what he said. Theodore was clearly looking down on him, thinking that he was a child and wasn't someone to talk with about that topic.

Adrienne's face was covered with ice cream. She opened her eyes wide and said, "Alastair is right. That person looked so fierce. She also shouted at me just because I said something." When she recalled it, she had a look of horror on her face.

Theodore's heart ached as he looked at her.

"What did she say?" He asked.

"She told me to not interrupt. She was also fierce towards Mommy. Mommy cried because of her arrival." When Adrienne explained the situation, she also felt very scared in her heart. Theodore's face turned ashen as he clasped his hands tightly under the table.

"My mommy has been bullied by the Godfrey family ever since she came back. I really hope that you can leave her. You are not suitable for her."

Alastair's dark eyes were full of dissatisfaction, and his cold face didn't look like he was joking at all.

Theodore lowered his eyes and pursed his lips. He didn't say a word.

"I originally didn't want to come with you today, but I thought that I had to make some things clear. Mommy couldn't get out of the haze and it's all your fault. Your mother even said some hurtful words regardless of people's feelings. Everyone said that the Godfrey family is a prominent family, but in my eyes, the Godfrey family is not even as good as some country bumpkins." Alastair's tender voice sounded in the dark night.

A child's innocence couldn't be seen in him at all.

Theodore frowned and looked at his son. He actually felt that he was a little unfamiliar, "Do you know what you're talking about?"

"Was what I said wrong?"

Looking at the bad expression on Alastair's face, Adrienne put down the spoon immediately and stopped eating.

Although she couldn't understand what he was saying, she still heard something along the lines of Everleigh getting treated badly.

Anyone who treated her mother badly wasn't a good person in Adrienne's eyes.

"Alastair, I miss Mommy. Let's go back."

"Okay." Alastair had also said what he wanted to say. Then, he took out his phone and called Christopher. He didn't need Theodore to send him off.

Theodore knew what his intention was when he saw his actions.

"I'll send you back."

"No need." As soon as Alastair finished speaking, he heard Christopher's voice coming from the other side of the phone.

"Alastair."

"Come pick us up. I'll send you the address," Alastair said as he stared coldly at Theodore.

His face was full of disgust for him.

Theodore had experienced what it felt like to be isolated by his own family now.

When Christopher was on the way to pick them up, Alastair and Adrienne went downstairs to wait for him. Theodore didn't leave. He stood by their side and accompanied them. He couldn't just let them wait there alone. When Christopher arrived, Alastair took Adrienne's hand and walked out.

"Christopher, let's go." The two children got into the car. They didn't even look back at Theodore.

Christopher knew that Alastair must be very unhappy when he saw his expression.

However... What did that have to do with him? Theodore was someone who really deserved to be punished.

The three of them returned to the hospital. When they were on their way, Alastair instructed Adrienne to not tell Everleigh about them meeting Theodore. "Your mommy already knows about it," Christopher interrupted him.

Alastair glared at him, "You didn't help to cover us up?"

"I did, but I'm not good at lying. She saw through me in an instant." Christopher smiled and looked silly.

Alastair rolled his eyes at him. He no longer had any expectations towards him, but he felt more comfortable as he was able to say what he wanted to say.

Theodore said that he would help Everleigh solve her problems, but in the end, she still faced a lot of troubles.

When the three of them returned to the hospital, Everleigh's complexion was much better.

"Alastair and Adrienne, come here. I'll give you guys some delicious food," Everleigh said.

Hey there! Just a friendly reminder that if you're not reading this book on nel5s.org, you might be missing out on the complete story. Head over there to dive into the next chapter-it's all free!

"Okay. Thank you, Mommy." Adrienne ran over with her small legs. Looking at the delicacies on the coffee table, she quickly picked them up and ate them.

Everleigh looked at them with a smile on her face. He turned to Christopher and said, "Where is Dr. Harrison?"

"He's busy. I think he'll be free tomorrow."

She nodded and was looking forward to the day after. She had to find out what was going on with her hand to give up completely.

He looked worried. He did not know what Dr. Harrison would say the day after.

The next day, Everleigh got up and went to Dr. Harrison's duty room to wait for him.

When he saw her as soon as he came in, he said with surprise, "Everleigh, why aren't you resting?"

"I've rested long enough. Sir, you know the reason I'm here, don't you?" She went straight to the point.

She couldn't wait to know the answer.

It wasn't like she had never gone to meet him before, but at that time, Dr. Harrison had gone away to give a talk and she couldn't even see him.

Dr. Harrison's face that was full of wrinkles revealed a bit of sadness, and his turbid eyes showed a bit of disappointment.

"Everleigh, among so many of my disciples, I love you the most as you have a strong and endless spirit. You will also never discriminate against patients. That's why I want to pass on my legacy to you."

"So am I a disappointment to you now?" Hearing his words, Everleigh's expectations in her heart were extinguished once again.

She originally wanted to hear what he had to say personally.

Nevertheless,  her hope was about to be shattered.

"Everleigh, there are many miracles in this world. I believe that a miracle will also happen to you. I've seen your X-ray. Although you are seriously injured, it's not to the point that you can't use any strength. You can feel some pain and numbness now, right?"

"Sir, you don't have to lie to me anymore. I know what's going on." Her face darkened slightly, and there was an unspeakable feeling of discomfort in her heart.

He fell into silence for a while. There were many things in the medical field that he couldn't solve. They couldn't decide on people's lives either.

"Everleigh, I promise you that your dream will come true," he said.

"I understand. I'll go back first." She didn't want to hear words of comfort anymore.

She had heard too many of those words. It only made her feel even more hopeless.

Dr. Harrison couldn't say anything to comfort her when he saw her bad expression. "Everleigh, I can guarantee you."

"Okay." She spoke after a long time. The hope in her eyes had disappeared and she felt like she had fallen into a bottomless abyss. It felt like she would never be able to stand out again.

The figure of Everleigh walking alone in the hospital's corridor looked very depressing. Dr. Harrison was someone who had seen many things, but seeing that scene, he suddenly felt like crying. He had so much medical skills, but he still wasn't able to help her.

Everleigh went back to the ward and smelled the fragrance of flowers.

However, she was not in the mood to appreciate the fragrance.

She lowered her head and looked at her right hand.

A useless person. She had become a useless person now.

"Ah..." She couldn't control the emotions in her heart and burst into tears.

Christopher stood at the door and was about to push open the door. He wanted to ask her about the situation but suddenly, he heard a shrill voice.

He held onto the handle and didn't push the door open.

Instead, he stood where he was and listened to her weeping.

"Why is it like this..." She had never been so sad before. ;All her expectations had vanished.

There was no future left in her life.

He lowered his eyes and pursed his thin lips. It was an unspeakable feeling.
