Said I didn't Love Him But I Lied

When Theodore returned, Benedict's heart was full of regret. If he had known something like that would happen, he wouldn't have agreed to Theodore's request.

If he didn't agree to it, the incident wouldn't have happened as well. The hospital's reputation was on the line.

Looking at how domineering Theodore was, Everleigh became much more calm. Whenever she was in trouble, she really wanted to have a man she could rely on. Now, she finally knew who that man was. It was Theodore. He walked over to Benedict and said, "I'll talk to the family members of the deceased and get their permission to carry out an autopsy. Mr. Lawson, I believe that you'll be willing to cooperate with me, right?" Benedict nodded after listening to his suggestion. Now that the incident had already happened, his only choice was to cooperate with him.

"Sure. The body will be kept in the morgue."

"Thank you, Mr. Lawson," Theodore said coldly. Then, his deep gaze fell on Everleigh. "I have to go back to the company. You can take a rest for a few days, so those reporters won't be pestering you." She nodded. She agreed with him; news reporters were really irritating.

Plus, it wasn't really appropriate for her to work both at the hospital and in the company during controversial times.

"I'll go now. I'll give you a call if anything happens," Theodore spoke in a deep voice.

"Okay."

After he had left, she said to Benedict, "Mr. Lawson, I just got here from the company. I've checked the medicine's formula. There's no problem with it at all."

"The problem now is that the volunteer has died. We need to give the public a proper explanation," he responded.

"I understand, but Mr. Lawson, can you please tell me, who released the news about the patient's death?"

He was a little stunned. "I'm not sure about that. The nurses told me that a bunch of reporters were waiting outside. They were also the ones who informed me about the patient's death."

She looked over at Maxwell and Stainley. Both of them shook their heads, indicating that they had no idea as well.

She lowered her head. Just like what Theodore had said, the whole incident wasn't as simple as it seemed.

Perhaps, someone did it on purpose.

"Mr. Lawson, I guess I should leave now. Do inform me if there's any news."

"Sure." Seeing her serious face, Benedict didn't say anything more.

The next thing they had to do was to get to the bottom of the matter. Since Theodore had said that he would provide an explanation, they could only wait and see.

When Everleigh returned home, Alastair and Adrienne were sitting on the sofa. It was the weekend, so the two kids were staying there.

The both of them had been staying with the Meyer family for the past few days. If Abraham didn't insist on seeing the children, she would have continued to let them stay at the Meyer family's home. "Mommy, you're back!" Adrienne said in her cute voice, but she sounded a little worried. Everleigh sensed it and was rather curious. "What happened? Why are you talking to me in such a tone?" She pouted. "It's Alastair. He told me that you're in a little trouble."

Everleigh looked at her son who was sitting aside. He seemed expressionless, but there was some worry in his dark eyes.

"Nah, I'm fine. Now that I have some time to stay at home and take a break, isn't it great that I can spend more time with the both of you?" Everleigh coaxed her. She felt touched that her children cared about her feelings.

It made her feel that she at least had her children by her side during hard times.

Hearing that, Adrienne immediately turned to Alastair and said, "I told you! Mommy will not be defeated easily!."

When he heard her words, he was really speechless. Why was she still talking so childishly?

As expected, Everleigh didn't know how to react when she heard Adrienne's words.

She didn't know what to say.

"Mommy, I've watched the news. Is Daddy in trouble?" Adrienne turned around and continued asking.

Everleigh went silent for a moment. "Maybe, but I'm sure that he will be able to get through it. After all, people who want to achieve success must have the ability to solve problems."

She wasn't sure if Adrienne could understand her words, but Alastair definitely could.

Theodore had been teaching him a lot about business, including cases like that. He wasn't worried that Theodore wouldn't be able to solve it; he just felt that it would take a bit of time. The longer the time taken, the larger the possibility of unexpected events to happen.

In the night. Everleigh was sitting on her bed inside her room when Abraham came in. "Don't you have anything to tell me about the news on the internet?"

"I believe Theodore will take care of it. There's nothing I should worry about." She continued reading the book in her hands, and didn't even look at him.

Even though she said that she wasn't worried, there weren't any updates so far, so she was struggling to remain calm.

Abraham knew her personality well, and that was why he decided to talk to her.

"Everleigh, incidents like this are inevitable. As long as you have a clear conscience, it's okay."

She put her book down and turned over to look at Abraham who was filled with concern. "Dad, I know. The factory has temporarily stopped production. The manager just informed me that government officials are inspecting the medicine. I developed the formula myself, so it will be fine."

"It's good for you to have such confidence." He reached his hand out and patted her head. It had been a really long time since they last had a conversation like that.

She chuckled and said nothing else.

The next day. The sky was gray, as if it predicted that something bad would happen. Everleigh looked at the sky outside with a gloomy mood in her heart. It made her feel quite uneasy.

When she checked her phone and saw that there were no missed calls, she felt even more uncomfortable. She didn't know what was going on over on Theodore's side.

After thinking for a while, she decided to call him.

Shortly after, a hoarse voice sounded, "Everleigh."

"Didn't you sleep last night? You sound drained."

"Mm. This problem is a little tricky." He didn't want to hide it from her. Things had indeed taken a turn for the worse.

The more uncomplicated the problem seemed, the more he felt that something was amiss.

He had checked through the security footage of the factory clearly. The workers were all working normally, and there wasn't anything strange.

"Have you found anything?"

"There's no clue at all. Everything seems normal." He spoke in a cold voice, but there was a hint of irritation in his voice.

She was startled. "If that's the case, does it prove that the problem isn't with our medicine?"

"Yes. All the other volunteers are doing just fine, except for him. What's more, the other volunteers showed great results after using our medicine."

"Is it really because of his own health?" She murmured.

Theodore didn't accept the reason. In terms of health, a few other volunteers' physical conditions were even more special than his. Although he didn't know much about medicines, Everleigh had more or less taught him some knowledge on the new drug.

Naturally, he had the right to discuss the matter.

"I will continue investigating. Everleigh, I'm really sorry."

"You don't have to apologize. None of us wanted this to happen, especially when the company has just started." She smiled. She felt that he was acting strange.

He kept apologizing to her.

She wasn't even blaming him for anything.
