Said I didn't Love Him But I Lied

Everleigh kept herself busy with her own affairs while she let Christopher deal with the matter on his own.

When she got home, Cecil called her and asked her out to relax.

She took a look at the time and agreed. She hadn't had fun for a long time, and it was at the largest entertainment venue in Ocpeace City, Night.

Night was one of the Hayes family's properties. Cecil would come here to play every time she came back. Everleigh had been here several times before, but most of her time was spent taking care of her children or taking a rest. When she entered the front door, the dazzling light of the huge crystal chandelier reflected on her body.

The waiters were all lined up in a row. "Welcome," they greeted respectfully.

"Do you have a reservation, Miss?"

"I'm heading to room 308," Everleigh replied with a smile.

The waiters were stunned for a moment but came to their senses immediately. One of them said respectfully, "This way, miss."

"Thank you." Everleigh followed her. The room was specially reserved for Cecil. No one else dared to use it.

When she had mentioned it, the waiters would probably have a vague idea of who she was.

In the private room, Cecil had ordered some wine and had had a few sips.

"Everleigh, come, I've already ordered some wine for you."

She came over and sat down. She took the wine and took a big sip.

"Why are you treating me to a drink today?"

"I heard about Madison, but seeing that you're able to come, I'm assuming it has been dealt with." Cecil turned to look at her.

Everleigh chuckled and said, "How did you know that?"

"It's all over the Internet. It's hard not to know," Cecil said as she looked for the clips from the hospital.

Everleigh stretched out her neck to have a look and saw herself appearing in the video. She felt a little helpless. "I have experienced so many things like this." "Everleigh, a doctor is an angel in white, a sacred profession. Why do I feel like you are shoulder to shoulder with death here?" Cecil looked at her with suspicion. Everleigh didn't bother to argue. Instead, she took a sip of her wine.

"You asked me out just for this?"

"I'm just trying to avoid Lenold and Zeldan." Cecil leaned back and drank the wine with a worried face.

"What's up with Zeldan?"

"Don't even get me started. My old man has a good impression of him at the banquet so he wants me to marry him as soon as possible. Fortunately, Zeldan is a gentleman and didn't force it on me."

Everleigh thought it was a good thing for a charming and gentlemanly man like Zeldan to fall in love with her.

"By the way, Alexander called me. He will be back soon. Do you want to come with me and pick him up at the airport?"

Everleigh was stunned. "Why did he call you?" Didn't he know her phone number.

Cecil sighed softly and said, "It's all because of you. No one knows about your true identity and he didn't want to risk waking the serpent. Don't worry, his arrival won't cause you too much trouble. Unless you went ahead and revealed it yourself."

Hearing this, Everleigh was much more relieved.

After drinking a little wine, they were ready to head back. Cecil had a curfew so she had to be home before midnight.

Everleigh also had to rest early as she still had to work the next day. She called for the driver. As a doctor, she shouldn't be drinking and driving.

On the way back, she looked at the night view, but her heart was covered with a layer of fog.

It was not until her meeting with Cecil that she contemplated if it was right to show Yvonne the footage.

If it hadn't been for her, such a thing wouldn't have happened to Hansen, and she wouldn't have nearly been injured again.

It wasn't that she wanted to take responsibility for herself, but the matter was too suspicious. She suspected someone wanted to use her to make Yvonne and Madison fight each other. Killing Hansen was just a bonus. What a wicked heart.

Everleigh's eyes slightly narrowed, and she was getting more and more tired. It's exhausting to predict one's behavior.

She had gone through what she would probably experience throughout her whole life, all within the past few years.

"Miss Everleigh, it's Miss Selena." The driver stopped and pointed in the direction in front of them.

She looked over and saw Selena walking across the zebra crossing, with Leon behind her.

Everleigh remembered that Selena had said that she had broken up with Leon a year ago, so why now...

"Should we call Miss Selena?"

"No, let's go back now. Don't tell anyone that we saw Selena tonight."

"Yes." The driver nodded. He would not say anything more.

When Selena got home that night, she saw Everleigh on the sofa. "It's so late. Aren't you going to work tomorrow?"

"I'm waiting for you."

"Why?" Selena said as she sat on the sofa, rubbing her neck.

Everleigh looked at her movement and the red marks on her neck. Anyone with discerning eyes could've guessed what had happened. "Selena, are you seeing someone?"

"You saw it?" Selena stopped and looked at her.

Everleigh looked surprised but nodded. She didn't expect Selena to ask like that.

Selena took a deep breath and said, "I didn't get back together with him. He came to me. I haven't been with him in the past year. I don't know what's gotten into him but he insisted on talking."

Everleigh frowned slightly, and Leon's face appeared in her mind. He was also a man who had seen countless people. He had never truly loved a woman. Even when Cecil tried to break up with him, he did not say anything to persuade her to stay.

"But why Selena?" She thought.

It seemed like she would have to ask Theodore if something had happened to Leon in the past year.

"I will deal with it by myself. You don't have to worry." Selena's eyes dimmed as a flash of self-mockery appeared.

Everleigh was stunned. "What did she mean?" She thought.

Did she feel unworthy of Leon?

The next day, Everleigh heard Christopher talking about things when she arrived at the office. She put on her white coat while speaking to him. "Everleigh, guess who I saw last night?"

"Who?"

"Leon and your sister, but she didn't look too good." He thought about what had happened the previous night and could not help but talk about it.

She turned around and asked in surprise, "You saw?"

"Of course. She ran out crying and Leon chased after her. I don't know what happened after that."

But Everleigh did. After Selena crossed the road, she got in a taxi. Leon tried to stop her but failed.

Christopher saw that she was silent with her head down. He pursed his lips and said, "Maybe Leon went to a bar to get drunk because of what happened to Madison and saw Selena there, so something must have happened between them. She frowned, "What does this have to do with Madison?"

"Wasn't she only hospitalized? Was it necessary for him to get drunk?"
