Said I didn't Love Him But I Lied

Hearing this, Yvonne was a little perplexed. She knew Everleigh's character well but her words were a little heart-wrenching.

"Can we meet privately?" She asked softly.

"I'm free at noon," Everleigh answered.

"Okay, I'll come and look for you then."

Everleigh took out a pen and wrote something in the record book. She nodded without raising her head as a response to her words. After writing, she said, "I'm going to check on the other wards." "Alright."

When she walked out of the ward, she felt as if her heart was covered with haziness.

The moment Yvonne came in, Everleigh clearly felt the change in her. Her gentleness had disappeared and was replaced by an oppressive aura.

It looked like it would be difficult for Theodore to survive in the Godfrey family.

After she made her rounds, Christopher was already leaning back in his chair, eating some fruits leisurely. "Did you see Yvonne?"

"Yes, how long has Hansen been admitted to the hospital?" She asked.

He sat up straight, handed the fruits he had cut up to her, sat on her desk and said in a low voice, "About four months on-and-off since you left. Stainley has always been taking care of him." "Stailey's medical skills can't be..." Everleigh didn't finish her words, but her eyes widened as if she realized something. "Could it be that he..."

"Exactly. Stainley has changed. I thought he would give you up, but it turned out to be worse. Although Hansen's illness can't be treated completely, he shouldn't have relapses constantly," Christopher said helplessly. As a doctor, it was always their responsibility to treat patients but Stainley crossed the line due to his selfishness. Although it wasn't disastrous, it still wasn't appropriate.

Everleigh was silent for a long time before she said slowly, "He is ruining his medical ethics."

"Not entirely. At least he only did this to Hansen. I've tried to persuade him, but it didn't work." Christopher picked up a piece of watermelon and put it into her mouth.

What he did not tell her was when she thought that she had AIDS, his behavior was even more outrageous.

It was only after he knew that Everleigh was fine that he stopped.

"Stailey has been so foolish."

"He's quite stubborn. I've tried to talk some sense into him but he wouldn't listen. None of my tricks worked on him."

Everleigh felt that she should find some time to talk to him. Things shouldn't go on this way.

Yvonne gave her a call at noon, saying she had already booked a restaurant nearby.

She knew that it was because Yvonne was afraid that she would not go.

How could she not go? Theodore was not doing well because of her after all.

In the restaurant, Yvonne handed the menu to her. "I don't know what you like to eat. Please order what you want."

Everleigh was indeed hungry, so she ordered some steak and vegetables.

"Miss Trevino, you've become tanned and fit."

"Yes, since I work under the sun everyday, it's hard not to get tanned." Everleigh touched her face. It was much better after she put on facial masks when she came back.

Yvonne smiled as she looked at her. "It's good for you to settle down into a stable life, Miss Trevino."

"What do you mean, Yvonne?" Everleigh pretended not to understand and looked at her with sincerity in her eyes.

She couldn't tell if she was being genuine.

Yvonne stared at her for a long time and said slowly, "Didn't you hear what happened to the Godfrey family in the past year?"

Everleigh began eating as soon as her food was served. She asked as if she did not care at all, "What's the matter? The signal over there is bad. It takes months for letters to go back and forth. It's all history by the time I find out." Yvonne smiled. "I am in charge of the Godfrey family now."

Everleigh froze and looked at her in surprise, "I'm sorry, what?"

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!

"Miss Trevino, didn't you ask around? Theodore slacked off because of you, so I took advantage of him."

"I haven't seen him yet," Everleigh said with a hint of coldness on her face as she put down the cutlery.

Yvonne smiled slightly, but it was a different expression from before. "Theodore really loves you."

"Yvonne, why are you telling me this? Are you trying to persuade me to stay for Theodore?" Everleigh suddenly couldn't understand her intentions. There was no need for Yvonne to come all the way here just to tell her that. It was better for her to get straight to the point rather than making her own assumptions.

"This is not something to hide. Now that the Godfrey family is under my control, I have you to thank. If Madam Scott was still alive, I'm afraid I won't be able to get what I want within a year. What a shame... that she's dead," Yvonne said softly but her expression was a little hideous.

That made her look ugly.

Everleigh looked at her; she no longer knew this person in front of her. She knew Yvonne was meticulous, but at least she didn't show her ambitions and greed. However, now...

"Why?"

"Of course it's for my two children. It is all Madison's fault that Hansen is in poor health. I wanted to be with Wilson, but they... have gone too far." The hatred in Yvonne's eyes was immense when she spoke of the matter.

If Madison was here, she would have executed her right there and then.

Everleigh recalled the time when Hansen was kidnapped. She also had almost gone crazy, thinking that the reason Hansen became like this had something to do with Xavier.

Could it be... that she knew something?

"Yvonne, I understand that you are doing this for the sake of your children but what about Theodore? He is the most innocent victim here. When I was with him, he didn't want to do work in business at all. If Xavier hadn't had an accident, he..." Before Everleigh finished, Yvonne said sarcastically, "You should blame it on Wilson. It's all his doing."

Everleigh was stunned. "What are you talking about? What does this have to do with him?"

Yvonne looked at her quietly and did not answer her question.

Everleigh's heart quivered, thinking that she might have found out something.

"All you need to know is that this has nothing to do with you." It took Yvonne a long time to speak out.

Apparently, she did not want to tell her the truth.

Although Everleigh was anxious, she didn't ask any more questions, mainly because she didn't want to alert Yvonne.

This meal had her distressed.

When both of them came out, Yvonne said, "Please take good care of Hansen."

"It's part of my job."

Yvonne smiled and left without saying a word.

Everleigh stood at the door and thought about what she meant, but she couldn't come up with anything.

She could only head back to work.

She saw Stainley having lunch in the office and asked, "Didn't you go to the canteen?"

"I just finished an operation. I was running late so I asked the nurse to buy me some food. Everleigh, do you have some time?"

"Yes." She put down the stethoscope she had hanging around her neck and said without looking back.

Stainley's hand tightened as he held his fork. "Let's talk."

"Okay." That was exactly what she wanted to do.

They came to the garden of the hospital and enjoyed the afternoon sun. Although it was very hot, it was much cooler compared to where she was abroad. "You've heard some things about me, haven't you?"

"Yes, but what I don't understand is why."
