Said I didn't Love Him But I Lied

When Cecil saw how responsive Everleigh was, she picked up her cutleries and took a few bites of her food too. However, she ended up putting the food aside because she couldn't swallow it.

The breeze at night was very cool and refreshing, and it made their bodies feel comfortable. The two of them sat on the swing under the shade of the tree and sprayed anti-bug spray on their bodies. When they looked up, they could see the stars in the sky and hear the insects chirping.

Sure enough, their state of mind had changed.

"Everleigh, how long are you going to stay here?"

"I don't know. It depends on the situation," she sighed. She liked the kind of life she was living now and she didn't want to return so soon.

Cecil lowered her eyes and wanted to say a lot of things to her, but she didn't know where to start.

The two just quietly looked at the stars, and neither of them had any intention of opening their mouths.

Everleigh saw that her colleagues were nearby. They were either playing games or with musical instruments, and it sounded lively.

"Cecil, there's something I need you to investigate for me." Everleigh looked in the direction of her colleagues and thought about the incident of the past. "What is it?"

"Look at this..." She took out the letter from her pocket.

"Isn't this the letter you showed me last time? You even brought it here?"

"I didn't mean to bring it here. It was put in my book, but take a look at this." She turned over the envelope and saw the word 'Jenkins' at the back.

When Cecil saw this word, her expression froze. "The Jenkins family."

"You know this?"

Cecil looked dignified and nodded. "You know the Four Greatest Households in Ocpeace City?"

"I know, the Hayes family, the Godfrey family, the Meyer family, the Jenkins..." Everleigh was suddenly stunned and looked at her incredulously. "Could this letter be from the Jenkins family?"

"Yes, I rarely see anyone from the Jenkins family but I'm very sure that the words on it were written by them," Cecil said with a serious expression.

She remembered seeing this handwriting on one of the contracts of the Hayes family. It was by one of the Four Greatest Households so there was no way she couldn't recognize it.

When Everleigh heard this news, she really didn't know what to think. "Why did the Jenkins family mail me this letter? Could the incident that happened seven years ago have something to do with them?" She thought to herself.

Cecil and Everleigh looked at each other at the same time. They remembered that following the accident, if an ordinary person had saved her, he would have sent her to the hospital. She wouldn't have been sent to a luxury hotel. "Everleigh, I'll help you investigate this matter. Maybe there was something else that happened during the incident seven years ago," Cecil said seriously and took the envelope from her hand.

Everleigh nodded and was looking forward to an answer. If there was a hidden truth in the beginning, it meant that she might be safe.

Thinking about it, she couldn't wait to know the truth.

Cecil stayed for a few days and left. She came to see Everleigh and now that she had achieved that goal, she also received such big news. She would try her best to help Everleigh.

Everleigh looked at the blue sky, and her state of mind had become different from when she first arrived at this place.

She was looking forward to the future.

A year later, at the Ocpeace City Airport, Everleigh led the team out of the airport. The hospital bus was waiting for them.

"It has been a year since we've been back on this piece of land. I've missed it deeply," one of them said as he stretched out his arms and a smile lit up his tan face.

Everleigh looked back at him and said, "Remember this feeling right now because if there is a chance to go to another country soon, you will be going."

"No..." That person immediately wailed. He no longer wanted to go to that kind of place.

Going once in a lifetime was more than enough.

The group of people were amused by his miserable voice. On top of coming back looking much tanner, they needed time to get used to city life again after living a rural lifestyle for so long. "Let's go. The bus has been waiting for us for a long time," Everleigh said helplessly.

That person liked to make jokes, and it added joy to their year abroad.

On the bus, Everleigh leaned against the window and looked at the scenery by the street. It seemed to have changed a little.

It had been a year, and so, it was time now.

When she thought of this, she instantly froze, and a chill crept into her eyes.

At the entrance of the city hospital, Dr. Harrison was waiting for them with a group of people. Everleigh was the first to get off the bus. She immediately saw him, Christopher, and Stainley, the three familiar faces. "Everleigh." Christopher opened his arms right away and wanted to give her a warm hug, but he was beaten to it by Dr. Harrison. "You're finally safely back."

"Yes, Dr. Harrison, I'm back." She smiled and hugged him back without saying a word.

Christopher opened his arms awkwardly, with a stiff smile on his face.

The others also got down from the bus and couldn't help laughing when they saw this scene.

"Dr. Meyer, we'll do you a favor," one of the nurses said as she spread her arms to give him a hug.

He did not mind; it was always a good thing to get a hug from a beautiful woman.

Naturally, he couldn't miss the opportunity.

"Alright, let's head inside. There is a meeting in the afternoon to praise you guys for the job done," Dr. Harrison said with a serious tone but he couldn't hide his joy.

Everleigh was used to his serious face, so she knew that he was very happy at that moment.

In the meeting, Mr. Lawson specially named a few people with some words of praise, especially Everleigh, who was not only treating patients abroad, but also developing a new medicine for heart diseases.

For them, it was an infinite honor.

Everleigh was given the position of chief surgeon, and her status was cemented.

Dr. Harrison felt glad when he heard about her promotion.

He was one step closer to achieving his plan.

Everleigh was his proud student and she had been in a high position for a long time, which showed that he had taught her well. Moreover, he was not the kind of teacher who would only let his student do what he didn't want to do. He would pass on all that he had learned in his life to her.

After the meeting, everyone was very tired. They wanted to go home to rest and didn't know that they would end up here.

"Everleigh, you should go back and rest first. You haven't seen your kids in a long time," said Dr. Harrison as he patted her on the shoulder.

She really wanted to see her children. She had been on phone calls with bad signals with them all year and had yet to see their faces. Christopher volunteered this time, "I'll send you home. I'm handing my shift over to Stainley anyway."

Stainley felt annoyed when he heard what Christopher said because he was the one who was going to hand his shift over to him. However, he figured that Everleigh would want to speak to Christopher more.

"Yes, you guys should head home. I would be less worried too." Stainley sounded gentle as usual.

It had been a year since they last saw each other, and he seemed steadier than ever.

Everleigh didn't refuse their hostility. She was too exhausted.

On the way back to the Trevino family house, Christopher had a serious expression on his face. He seemed to have something to say, but he remained silent.

She knew what he wanted to say, but this time, she didn't bother listening. "Let me know what happened after I get my rest. I'm truly drained."

"Okay." He had the same plan. He was worried that she would not have a good rest.

It wasn't a matter of the Trevino family, so it didn't matter if he spoke later.
