Said I didn't Love Him But I Lied

"Let's go in." Cecil had seen very good comments on the Internet and had wanted to come over for a long time. However, because of Lenold and Zeldan, she had been having a hard time leaving her house.

Zeldan was like a pair of scouting binoculars. As long as she went out, he would appear in front of her.

She was about to lose it.

As soon as the three of them walked in, the waiter came over and respectfully called out, "Boss."

"Mm, please give us a private room. I don't want anyone to disturb us," Alexander said.

"Sure, this way please." The waiter led the way.

Seeing this, Cecil was a little surprised. She turned to ask Everleigh, "Everleigh, when did he open a barbecue restaurant here?"

"You don't know because you rarely come back. The previous owner of this restaurant didn't know how to run a business, so he sold it and Alexander bought it," Everleigh explained. This restaurant had only opened for more than a month, and because of how bad the restaurant was run previously, he specially advertised it.

The recipes of the sauces and marinades were also remade.

The taste was remarkable too. Otherwise, it wouldn't have gone viral on the Internet.

The three of them came to the private room. Alexander ordered only the finest for them.

"As expected of the boss, even your orders are something else." Cecil looked at the fresh seafood and felt that it was really generous of him.

"It's only my first time here even though the restaurant has been open for a while. Take it as an inspection, if you will." Alexander looked at the grill and began to cook some meat.

"How long will you stay?"

"I won't leave for the time being. The Jenkins family is based here, but I heard the Godfrey family has bought a piece of our land. That's why I came back."

Alexander and Cecil looked at Everleigh tacitly at the mention of the Godfrey family.

She took a bite of the food and ignored them, and said, "Why are you looking at me? I didn't buy it."

"Did you get in touch with Theodore?" Alexander's eyes flickered slightly, but his tone didn't show anything.

She paused for a moment and asked, "What does this have to do with the land?"

"No, I just want to remind you that something will happen to the Godfrey family soon. You have to keep yourself safe, do you understand?" He said seriously.

Everleigh of course knew that the Godfrey family was in troubled times recently, so naturally, she would not take part in it.

"What's going to happen?"

"I don't know. Anyway, it won't be peaceful." He lowered his head, picked up a piece of meat, and put it on Everleigh's plate. "You've lost some weight. Is the hospital very busy?"

"The hospital is busy everyday. It's difficult for me to even talk to her whenever I visit," Cecil said indifferently.

Everleigh smiled a little and remained silent.

Alexander turned his head and stared at her with his amber eyes, and the love in his eyes could not be concealed. He really wanted to take her back to the Jenkins family as soon as possible, but those people were getting ready to strike; it wasn't the right time to bring her back yet.

After the three of them had eaten, Everleigh asked, "Where are you staying?"

"The Linton Manor."

"So you're the new homeowner?" Cecil asked in surprise.

Both of them were stunned. "Do you live there?"

"Yeah, our old manor is over there. I'm staying there now." It suddenly dawned on Cecil. She remembered seeing a worker tidy up the house before. It turned out to be Alexander's. "We'll be neighbors. Please look after me in the future."

"Of course."

Everleigh smiled slightly, "Then it'll be convenient for me to find the both of you."

The three of them looked at each other and smiled. After a few casual words, they went their separate ways.

When Everleigh returned to the hospital, Christopher was not there. She asked a nurse and learned that he had gone to help a patient who had a heart attack.

Dr. Harrison then came over and said, "Everleigh, come here."

She didn't say anything but followed him. She didn't have to ask to know what was going on.

"The whole hospital knows what happened to you last time. Can you try your new medicine on the new heart attack patient this time?"

"Dr. Harrison, you don't want me to use them as experiments, do you?" She asked in surprise.

It was not that she didn't want to care, but this was a different situation. Successfully curing one patient didn't mean that it would cure everyone.

Maxwell also understood her reasoning, but why give up when there is hope?

"Let's have a look first."

They reached the ward as they were talking. When Everleigh saw the person in the ward, she was stunned, and then the fear in her eyes gradually increased. How could it be him?

Dr. Harrison frowned slightly when he saw her expression. "What's wrong?" Everleigh trembled and went straight to the corridor without saying a word.

Christopher realized something was wrong when he heard Dr. Harrison's words and saw Everleigh walking away.

"I'll go take a look. Dr. Harrison, can you look after him for me?"

After saying that, he walked out. Before Dr. Harrison could speak, the two of them disappeared into the corridor.

Everleigh stood at the edge of the corridor and tried to calm herself down a little by feeling the breeze coming in.

"Everleigh, are you okay?" Christopher came over and looked at her pale face.

As you reach the final pages, remember that 000005s.org is your destination for the complete story. Share the joy of reading with others and spread the word. The next chapter is just a visit away! Her eyes suddenly turned red, and she almost shed tears when she looked at him.

"What happened? Don't cry."

"Christopher, it's him. He was the one who took me away on that rainy night," Everleigh's voice trembled. Thinking of that rainy night, she felt very disgusted.

Even though she knew exactly what happened, that night was like a nightmare reverberating in her mind.

She couldn't get rid of it no matter how hard she tried.

Especially when their hands touched her body, she felt disgusting.

Christopher was shocked. He did not expect this person to be the one from back then.

"Everleigh, listen to me. I'll deal with this. You don't have to worry about it."

"But Dr. Harrison wants to use my new medicine."

"Just use it if his family agrees," he said in a low and cold voice.

She lowered her head. When she was facing her "enemies", she wanted nothing more than to kill them all, but she was a doctor. It was her duty to heal the wounded and save the dying. If she didn't save their lives, then she wouldn't be any different from these people.

Christopher saw the dilemma in her eyes. He grabbed her shoulder and said softly, "Everleigh, it's true that we are doctors, but we are also human. We all have feelings and desires." "How are you always able to guess what I'm thinking, Christopher?" She asked with a wry smile. She was like an open book to him.

"We've fostered a special bond over the years, haven't we? You can also tell what I'm thinking. You were at least on point when it came to all those women of mine," he teased. Everleigh couldn't help but laugh, and the previous sadness and fear were almost gone.

"What are you two doing? Don't you want to treat the patient?" Suddenly, Dr. Harrison shouted angrily at the door of the ward. The two of them looked at each other and walked over. However, he wasn't pleased when Everleigh did not go in.

They came out as soon as they were done checking. Dr. Harrison went to her and said angrily, "Everleigh, we need to talk."
