Said I didn't Love Him But I Lied

Everleigh nodded as this was the only way. She hoped that he could get better.

Otherwise, whatever they did would be in vain.

The next day, after she changed shifts, she went to the ward to visit the patient. When Galen saw her coming in, he frowned slightly but relaxed soon after. "You are Dr. Trevino, right? I heard from the nurse that you saved me last night," he said.

"You're welcome. I'm just doing my job," she said and went over to look at the machine. Looking at the data on it, she was very satisfied.

Galen's complexion had recovered a little. However, he had cancer, and judging from his current weight, his situation wasn't very optimistic. She was afraid that he would pass away before she took action.

Everleigh went to bed as soon as she got home, so she didn't hear her mobile phone ring.

She didn't wake up until the evening. When she opened her eyes, she felt the atmosphere of sunset. Autumn was indeed a sad season.

She opened the window and watched the scene in her garden. The coolness of the autumn wind and the sunset glow was an indescribable feeling.

Her mobile phone at the bedside rang. She went over and looked at the caller ID. It was Yvonne.

She picked it up and answered after hesitating for a moment, "Hello, Yvonne."

"Everleigh, did Loraine go to look for you?" Yvonne asked in an anxious voice as if she was about to cry.

Everleigh's expression instantly changed, "No, I was on duty last night and stayed at home all day today."

"Loraine is missing. I have been looking for her the whole day," Yvonne suddenly burst into tears.

Everleigh immediately comforted her, "Don't worry, Yvonne. Let me try and give her a call. I'll let you know if there's any news."

"Thank you, Everleigh," Yvonne thanked her gratefully.

After Everleigh hung up, she called Loraine, but her mobile phone was off. This made her worried.

"Loraine isn't the kind of child that would make others worry. Something must have happened for her to go missing at a time like this," she pondered.

Everleigh took her car keys and went out to look for her. She searched all the places they had gone to before but failed to find her. Just when she didn't know where to go next, Stainley gave her a call. Everleigh was appalled, "Why would he call me now?"

"Hello, Stainley."

"Everleigh, come to the hospital." Stainley spoke in a gentle voice but he couldn't hide his solemn tone.

"What's wrong?"

"You'll know as soon as you come over," he replied in a low voice and hung up.

As soon as she heard the dial tone, she immediately rushed to the hospital without saying another word.

When she arrived at the hospital, Stainley was waiting for her at the entrance. Everleigh hurriedly got out of the car, "What's wrong?"

"Come and see whether you know her or not." Stainley took her to the emergency department. On the bed was none other than the girl she had been searching for, Loraine.

"Loraine... What happened to her?" Everleigh's eyes were filled with shock as she looked at the child lying on the bed.

Seeing her react like this, Stainly spoke in a calm and deep voice, "She was found by several climbers in the suburbs. She was already seriously injured when she was brought here."

"Is her life in danger?" Everleigh asked.

"The main problem is that her head had been severely hit. Thus, when she will be able to wake up will depend on her consciousness. She didn't have her mobile phone with her, but I remembered seeing her when the Godfrey family came last time, so I called you to see if you recognize her," he explained.

She did not answer. Instead, she took out her mobile phone and called Yvonne. She told her that she had found Loraine and wanted her to come to the hospital.

It would be better for Stainley to tell her the details. It wasn't convenient for her to say too much.

Not long after, not only did Wilson and Yvonne come to the hospital, but Theodore and Xavier also came along.

Everleigh stared at the two brothers and felt strange, "Why did they come here together?"

"Loraine," Yvonne went over and looked at the motionless body on the bed and burst into tears.

Loraine's face was pale, and her body was attached to several machines.

Stainley walked over and caught sight of Theodore. "The patient's head received a heavy blow. As for when she will wake up, it's up to her own consciousness," he said.

When Yvonne heard this, it was like a bolt from the blue. Her tears were still on her eyelashes. She looked at Stainley dumbfoundedly, "What are you saying?"

"Madam Miller, I'm sure you heard everything I said. What you all need to do now is wake her up." Stainley knew that she could not accept this result, but it was the truth. Wilson stepped forward and looked at his daughter. Soon, tears of grief ran down his face.

"Doctor, where was she found ?" Wilson asked in a choking voice.

When Theodore and Xavier heard his words, both of them stared at each other tacitly, and their gazes were filled with coldness.

"It was in the suburbs. The police know about the specific details." After Stainley finished speaking, he left to deal with his own business.

He knew something must have happened for Theodore to come along, and he wasn't interested in anything that had to do with the Godfrey family.

Everleigh also realized that it was not suitable for her to stay there. She went to Yvonne and comforted her, "Let me buy you a bottle of water. Don't be too sad. Try and talk to her. She will wake up eventually." Yvonne had already been choked with sobs. She looked at Everleigh and cried, "Everleigh, Loraine will be fine, right?"

"Yes, she is still so young, and her will to survive is very strong," Everleigh consoled her.

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!

The more Yvonne spoke the sadder she became. In the end, she could only lie on the bedside and cry bitterly.

Everleigh made an excuse to leave.

She gave the Godfrey family some space.

Xavier's gaze lit up as he set his eyes on Everleigh's back.

"She's smart," he said softly. His voice was loud enough for everyone in the room to hear.

Yvonne tilted her head and stared at him with hatred. "Did you do it?" She snapped.

He listened to her criticism and sneered, "What made you think it was me?"

"It must be you. Loraine said you were a loser with a broken leg in the morning, so you held a grudge in your heart." Yvonne could no longer hold her emotions in. She pointed at him and shouted at the top of her voice. She didn't care if the whole hospital could hear her voice.

Xavier frowned and lowered his voice, which made him seem ghostly. "What are you talking about? I won't vent my anger on a child no matter what."

"How would she end up like this if it wasn't for you?" She would not believe what he said at all.

She knew that he would seek revenge for the smallest grievance.

"How could he not hold a grudge against her when she had ridiculed him?" She thought to herself.

Seeing her actions, Wilson was unhappy and retorted, "Don't jump to conclusions. Go and ask the police what had happened."

"The police have already handed over the transcripts. You guys can take a look for yourselves." Theodore, who had been silent this whole time, spoke and handed over the records in his hands to them. Yvonne and Wilson were aghast. They were curious as to how he got it.

Theodore's face was expressionless, and his deep eyes were bottomless. "There's no need to look at me like that. I asked the police when I came," he explained.
