Said I didn't Love Him But I Lied

Everleigh was surprised to hear that Theodore had found the man. "How did you find him?"

"I have my own way." He wasn't lying.

The reason why he was able to find what he wanted quickly was because he had connections with the authorities. Without their permission, he could not carry it out even if he had the ability.

Hearing his words, she thought of a person. They had met once in the past, but they had only seen each other from a distance.

They never talked to each other before.

She once asked who that person was, but Theodore only told her that he was his buddy. As for the rest, she did not ask any further.

"Did you find out what exactly happened?"

"Yes, I did, but there's something I want to tell you. Hoffman's death was the hospital staff's doing, and that person has something to do with Wilson." Theodore's cold tone was suffused with impatience. Only at that moment did he realize how much Wilson had done to ruin his reputation.

This was the first time he had discovered how ruthless and cruel his father was. He didn't even bat an eye to sacrifice the lives of so many people.

Everleigh's expression froze. Her first reaction wasn't to think of who did it in the hospital, but she thought of what Theodore had endured this whole time.

They were both parents, but why was there such a big difference between them? Abraham couldn't forget her mother, and he even treated her like his own daughter. As for Theodore, Wilson was his biological father, but he acted like he was his stepfather.

Humans were truly different from each other. It was the same with their fathers.

"I'll look into this matter. I believe Mr. Lawson will be willing to fully cooperate with us."

"Everleigh, talk to Mr. Lawson only about this matter. Don't act rashly and alert the enemy."

"I got it, Theodore. What are you going to do for the press conference?" She asked in a deep voice. There was only one day left. Would he tell others about Wilson?

He knew what she was worried about. He said softly, "Don't worry, it'll be fine."

She parted her lips but couldn't say anything, thus she stopped asking.

At night, it was drizzling outside, making the air a little colder. When she got up in the morning, she saw that the sun was shining, and the air was exceptionally clear after the rain. She sent a message to Cecil, telling her that there was no need to investigate further.

When Cecil received the news, she called her right away. "Why do you want to stop investigating all of a sudden? Have you broken up with him?"

"Can't you just expect me to do well?"

"Isn't it? You were so nervous about him. Now that you are going to leave things behind all of a sudden, you must have broken up with him," Cecil said. She didn't seem to give up yet.

Everleigh felt extremely frustrated. She didn't want to say more, thus she hung up the phone directly and changed into a new set of clothes. Then, she went straight to the hospital to look for Benedict.

He looked at her and was a little surprised. "Why are you here?"

"Mr. Lawson, there is progress in that matter..." Everleigh told the whole story again. After hearing it, he was shocked but was very angry at the same time. "Do you mean that someone deliberately tried to kill him?" "Yes, thus I want you to look into it if there was anyone who ever went in after Hoffman came out of the emergency room," she said in a deep voice.

He hesitated for a moment. "Well, I'll deal with this matter. I'll tell you if there's any news. Don't tell anyone else for the time being."

She also meant to say this. Although Benedict was afraid of the authorities, he would never act rashly in front of human lives.

She thought that Maxwell had taught them well. At least the doctors under his guidance were all responsible and showed medical ethics.

When Everleigh walked out of the office, she met Stainley. He was surprised to see her and asked, "Why are you here?"

"I'm here to talk to Mr. Lawson about something, as well as ask him when I can come back to work." She looked natural, and it seemed that she wasn't lying.

He wasn't doubtful of her. He smiled slightly. "What did he say?"

"He said that I would not come back until the matter is resolved, but we don't know when it will be." Her eyes lowered, and there was a trace of sadness on her face.

Stainley felt displeased in his heart. It would be great if he could help but unfortunately, he could not help with anything.

"Let's not talk about it then. I'll take my leave first."

"I've heard that Christopher and the others will come back after a short while," he said, hoping to cheer her up a bit.

She frowned and said, "I haven't heard about that from him."

"They were informed by the hospital this morning. Perhaps, Christopher and the others have not received the news yet. They have been away for quite a long time this time. It's certain that they will complain a lot when they come back." He thought of the time when he was abroad.

She smiled slightly and said, "That's true. I won't hold you back from your work then. I'll go first."

"Everleigh, can we have a meal when you are free?" It was not difficult to hear a trace of begging in his low voice.

Ever since Everleigh rejected him last time, the two of them didn't have a proper conversation. Besides, since she had an accident, he knew that she was in a bad mood, thus he didn't call to bother her.

Her thin lips were tightly closed. After a long time, she said slowly, "Stainley, I'm not in the mood right now."

"I know. I can wait until you have the time. Even though you rejected me, we are still friends, aren't we?" He looked at her with discouraged eyes. It seemed like her refusal was a big blow to him.

"Okay, let's talk about it when the time comes." After that, she left. Watching her back as she left, it took him a long time to come to his senses.

Everleigh drove out of the hospital. She went straight to the school to pick up Alastair and Adrienne, and took them out for lunch at noon.

"Mommy, why did you think of bringing us out for lunch?" Adrienne was eating pork chops and her mouth was stuffed with meat.

"I wanted to eat here, that's why. Don't you want to eat it?" Everleigh teased her deliberately.

"Of course I like it. I like eating out. Although Madam Hilda's food is delicious, I want to eat food from outside sometimes," Adrienne said as her little teeth were revealed.

Everleigh looked at her with caring eyes and took out a napkin to wipe her mouth.

"I'll take you to meet someone in a few days. There will be a lot of delicious food there."

"Mommy, is it someone from the Jenkins family?" Alastair, who was sitting on the side, asked suddenly. His dark eyes shone brightly.

He had watched the news previously and knew what Cynthia, the daughter of the Jenkins family, had done at the banquet.

Although he had never met those people, he knew in his heart that they were not easy to deal with.

It might not be easy even if his mommy was there.

"Yes, the people from the Jenkins family, who are also my family. You will understand this when you are older. Do you know? Grandpa is a nice person. Wherever you go, you can have anything you want to eat," Everleigh persuaded softly. She wasn't worried about Adrienne. She was worried about Alastair. This child had his own thoughts, thus she was worried that he wouldn't get used to it.

He saw through her thoughts, picked up the food, and stuffed it into his mouth. Then, he said, "Since you said so, let's visit there someday."

Everleigh breathed a sigh of relief. She believed that her uncle would be delighted to see them.
