Said I didn't Love Him But I Lied

Everleigh glanced back at Wilson, who was sitting on a chair with a gloomy face. It seemed that their already-fragile relationship had been completely torn apart, and he would not let her off. It seemed that she should be careful.

"I'll pick you up." Christopher was worried about her. Wilson had already told her such an important thing, and it was uncertain what he would do.

"No, I'm heading back now. Don't worry. He won't do anything to me here." Everleigh understood what he meant.

He was still on edge, so he went to the door to pick her up. He was only relieved when he saw that she was back safely.

"Did he say anything else?" He asked.

"No. However, it won't take long for him to know that I was already aware of the matter." Everleigh's face was pale as if she had experienced a lot of bad things.

He walked over and put his arm around her shoulder, comforting her. "With me here, you'll be fine."

"Yes, I believe you." She smiled awkwardly, and the light in her eyes could not be concealed. She really appreciated Christopher. In the past few years, if it wasn't for his company, she wouldn't have been able to persist until now. When they walked in, they happened to see Stainley standing not far away from them. He watched their intimate behaviors, and he felt a little envious.

When would Everleigh treat him that way, instead of keeping a distance from him?

"Stainley, why are you here?" Christopher called out and realized that he was still in a daze.

"Mr. Lawson called us for a meeting." Stainley came to his senses and answered with a humble attitude, but his eyes fell on Everleigh's face.

She felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze. "Stainley, did he say anything?"

"Maybe it's for the health screening we'll be doing in the countryside. There's such a rule every year. Have you forgotten?" He replied.

Stainley's words reminded both of them. Christopher had even mocked back then that whoever was going to the meeting would be an idiot.

As a result, he turned out to be the most unfortunate "idiot".

When Christopher heard this, he couldn't help but tremble. "Visiting the countryside again. Why do I feel that the last time we went was a few days ago?"

"Alright, don't complain. Let's go for the meeting first." Everleigh knew that she couldn't avoid it, but it might not be as bad as she thought it would be this time.

The three of them came to the large conference room of the hospital, and almost all the doctors of the hospital were there.

Even Dr. Harrison had come, so it was conceivable that this trip to the countryside was important.

Mr. Lawson spoke with an official tone on the microphone. "This time, the purpose of the trip to the village is to help the poor, and also to publicize the greatness of doctors..."

Hearing his words, Christopher was about to fall asleep. He turned his head and whispered to Everleigh, "Don't you think that Mr. Lawson's words are becoming more official? It's nonsense. Why doesn't he treat others for free if he really has medical ethics?"

She gave a light laugh and answered, "Everyone needs capital."

"Meh, he's just stingy," he commented rudely. It happened that the microphone in front of him rang and echoed in the conference room.

Hearing his echo, Christopher was dumbfounded. It could not be such a coincidence, could it?

She was also stunned. The corners of her mouth twitched, and she felt that the probability of Christopher's accident was much higher than him winning the lottery.

Mr. Lawson's face darkened. "What did you say?"

"I'm talking about the person who just gives money to the beggars. He only gave a few dollars, so I said that he was very stingy," Christopher replied with a snap of his fingers. No one knew who he was talking about anyway.

"Really? Since you're so generous, I'll let you lead the team this time."

"What? Mr. Lawson, please don't. The last time you asked me to lead the team at the village, you didn't know, I..."

"You still have the courage to say that. The last time I asked you to do the test, you came back secretly. I haven't settled matters with you yet," Mr. Lawson scolded angrily.

Under the gaze of the doctors of the whole hospital, Christopher was severely criticized by Mr. Lawson. He had no choice but to endure it. Dr. Harrison glanced at him and finally chimed in, "That's enough. It's all in the past. It's meaningless to talk about it."

"Then, we can only follow the rules and make up for his mistakes. This time, let him lead the team until this is over." Mr. Lawson's words directly set Christopher up for several months of misery.

Everleigh and Stainley couldn't bear to look at Christopher for a long time. He should have just listened to the talk silently, but now, he directly implicated himself.

"Mr. Lawson, I'll take Everleigh with me. She likes to do charity." Christopher didn't want to go alone. The most important thing was that he could protect her when he was around. Otherwise, who knew what Wilson would do.

She suddenly opened her eyes wide and looked at him in disbelief. Was this guy crazy? When did she say that she wanted to go? She wanted to spend the weekends with her children.

"Mr..." Before Everleigh's words came out, she heard Dr. Harrison reject Christopher, "Everleigh was in Auview for a year. She should have had a good rest. Besides, her new medicine is also in its trial stage. She can't leave as she wishes." Mr. Lawson nodded in agreement. These were all matters of bringing honor to his hospital. He could not afford to be negligent, not even the slightest bit.

"Dr. Harrison is right. Dr. Trevino is exhausted. She can't always go on such trips," Mr. Lawson added.

Christopher was obviously unhappy. In a nutshell, Mr. Lawson thought that Everleigh was promising, and was currying favor with her.

"I will choose a few people to go with you. You don't have to complain anymore." Mr. Lawson would not make things too difficult for Christopher. After all, he was an investor. If they knew it, he would be in deep trouble. Christopher had no choice but to agree, yet ;he was still worried about Everleigh. What should he do if anything happened to her when he wasn't around?

As the meeting was over, Everleigh comforted and assured him, "Don't worry. You might get a promotion when you return."

"Do I look like I care about this position? I just can't figure out whether or not Mr. Lawson is deliberately targeting me," Christopher complained.

"How could he deliberately target you? He just admires your talent. Don't worry. If I am not busy, I will visit you with Alastair and Adrienne." She patted him on the shoulder, telling him not to worry.

He snorted. He did not believe that Everleigh would be so kind.

However, since it had already been decided, it was useless to say anything else.

Fortunately, he was not in a hurry to leave. Thus, he could get himself ready for the trip after that week.

Everleigh and Christopher had beef stew for dinner.

"Everleigh, be careful when I'm not with you," he reminded her.

"Are you worried that Wilson will attack me?" She asked.

"Even though you don't want to hurt another person, you should nevertheless keep your guards up. I will tell Felicia and ask her to take good care of you." He had no other way. How could he be ordered to go to the village at this time? She lowered her gaze. She didn't tell him that Theodore would return that night.

He also called and informed her that he wouldn't be leaving for the time being, and that he had something to talk to her about.

Hence, Christopher's worry was unnecessary, but she would not refuse him. After all, it was for her own good.
