Chapter 348 Court Trial
Hearing her words, Christopher stared blankly for a moment, then immediately understood. "Perhaps you don't know that Madison was taken away last night. The court started the trial this morning. I heard that Theodore didn't even care at all."
Everleigh was stunned and couldn't think clearly. "Could it be that he listened to my words and didn't care to do anything?"
"How come I don't know?"
"You were absent-minded from the moment you came in. I'm not surprised you didn't know. I heard that Yvonne also went to the hearing. Obviously, she wanted to see Madison being sent in with her own eyes." Christopher's voice was not loud, but it was enough for Everleigh to hear him.
She remained silent.
She took the medical records to Hansen's ward. It was Hansen's third dosage. The previous two had already shown some promising results.
If his illness could be treated, then it would be a breakthrough for her.
Hansen's smile grew even bigger as he saw her enter. "Aunt Everleigh."
"How do you feel today?"
"Much better. Aunt Everleigh, thank you for saving me yesterday. My mommy told me that you saved my life."
Everleigh was a little relieved to hear his childish voice. Not because of his words of gratitude, but because his voice was proof that his heart was getting much better.
At least he wasn't gasping for air.
"I'm going to give you another injection today."
"Alright. I trust that you will be able to cure me." He smiled brightly.
The expectation in his eyes was like stars flashing.
It was something that could not be ignored.
After Everleigh's medicine had been injected, Yvonne also came. She wore a smile on her face, and was totally different from before. "Yvonne."
"Everleigh, thank you for your hard work."
"No need to thank me. What made you so happy?" Everleigh chuckled. At the same time, she sounded puzzled, as if she didn't know anything. Yvonne smiled brightly. "Madison was sentenced, which is a good thing for me."
"How long?"
"More than a year, Theodore said that he didn't care, but in reality, he still did. It doesn't matter. I'm happy even if it was only for a day."
Everleigh didn't say much after hearing that and left the ward with a random excuse.
"Everleigh, if you have time, I'd like to invite you to my house." After Everleigh left, Yvonne's voice came from behind.
She was slightly stunned and said, "Let's talk about this some other time."
"Okay, whenever you're free." Yvonne did not mind her refusal. On the contrary, she smiled even more brightly and went back to the ward to see Hansen.
As soon as Everleigh came outside, she called Theodore. He answered in a deep voice, "Hello."
"It's about your mom."
"Mm, you were right. Perhaps it's a good thing for her to be there." His voice was cold, as if he wasn't affected by this matter.
She realized once more that he wasn't that close to Madison.
"Will you be sad?"
"No, you're right. One reason is to protect her, and the other is so that she can calm down."
"It's good that you can think in this way."
He let out a soft laugh. She hadn't heard his laughter for a long time. It took her a while to come back to her senses.
It was eight years ago when they could laugh carefreely together, when they were still young.
Sure enough, things are only precious when they are lost.

Even the sounds of laughter were pleasant to listen to.
Everleigh went back to work after saying a few words to him. Theodore had other things to do as well.
As time went by, summer passed quickly, and autumn came. However, ;autumn in Ocpeace City was still hot. Adrienne kept complaining, "Mommy, hasn't autumn already come? Why does it still feel like summer?" "The seasons don't change that drastically. Besides, it never snows in Ocpeace City."
Everleigh liked seeing snow the most, but unfortunately, this wish could only be fulfilled somewhere else.
Although Adrienne was happy to eat ice cream, the weather was so hot, that she wished to be soaked in a cool tub. "Mommy, let's go to the water park tomorrow."
"Alright."
Seeing that she answered so straightforwardly, Adrienne was elated. Alastair naturally followed them wherever they went.
In the water park, Everleigh changed into a swimming suit, and her seductive figure was exposed. Adrienne and Alastair had also changed their clothes. Looking at their mommy's figure, Adrienne said with a smile, "Mommy, your figure is better than those celebrities."
"Really?" Everleigh didn't pay attention to her figure after she gave birth to them.
It was also a little uncomfortable for her to put on such a swimsuit all of a sudden that day.
"Let's go. Didn't you want to go swimming?"
"Okay, Mommy. Let me tell you, when you weren't here the past year I've already..." Adrienne took her hand and started speaking without stopping.
Everleigh leaned back in her chair and watched them play in the water.
All of a sudden, a large, white towel covered her body.
"Who..." Before she could finish her sentence, she saw Theodore's gloomy gaze staring at her.
Everleigh didn't expect to meet him here. "You... Why are you here?"
"Adrienne told me. I didn't expect your figure to stay the same." His gloomy eyes gradually changed. She was not exactly a naive girl. Of course, she knew what his gaze meant.
"I've already given birth. What's there for me to care about?" She said as she covered herself with the towel guiltily.
This swimsuit was indeed revealing, but it wasn't that bad.
Theodore suppressed the agitation in his heart. When he opened his eyes again, they had returned to their usual coldness.
Both of them leaned back in their chairs and watched as Alastair and Adrienne swam in the water. Lately, the children's attitude towards Theodore had changed drastically, and their relationship had become even more intimate than before. "Did you go to see your mom today?" Everleigh suddenly asked.
"Yeah."
"How is she?" She continued to ask.
She was a little surprised when she thought about what had happened before. During this period of time, Madison still didn't give up and wanted to take revenge on Yvonne, but she failed. When Yvonne learned that it was Madison's doing, she suppressed Theodore in the Godfrey Group even more. Moreover, she told Madison everything.
Madison knew very well that Theodore was her hope. Naturally, she didn't want him to be in trouble.
"Same old, same old. Your new medicine is close to success, isn't it?." He changed the subject. Comparatively speaking, he cared more about her new medicine.
She nodded and said, "Yes, the new medicine has reached its final stage, all thanks to Hansen. If it wasn't for him, the development of my medicine wouldn't have been able to finish that fast."
"Is he alright?"
"He's much better now. He can leave the hospital in a few days." Thinking of Hansen's health, Everleigh couldn't help but smile.
What he hoped most was to go back to school. This time, his wish could come true.
"Daddy, I want to eat ice cream."
"Sure, let's go buy it."
