Said I didn't Love Him But I Lied

The secretary was stunned and she was rooted to the spot as her phone was taken away from her. "Password."

At the sound of that word, the secretary, Iris, recited a string of numbers.

After the phone was unlocked, it automatically played the news scene from earlier.

The video was taken on the second floor of the hospital. The video was very clear. In the middle, two people were confronting each other. The person wearing a white coat was a tall and slim female doctor. It was Everleigh. The man was standing before her with a knife swinging left and right in his hand.

Everleigh suddenly threw her white coat away after hearing whatever the drunkard said. As she spoke, she walked towards the drunkard. Theodore's eyes flashed, and his cold face suddenly tensed up. He had a terrible expression on his face. The video was showing how the drunkard rushed up to her with a knife in his hand as Everleigh turned back.

"If you want to watch the full video, download the app..."

At that critical moment, the video suddenly ended. In the next second, an advertisement for the app popped up. Theodore's face darkened and Iris trembled. Her face turned completely pale.

"What happened in the news?"

"Huh?" Iris was still in a daze.

Moses came up from behind Theodore and asked, "He's asking you, what happened in the news? How's Dr. Trevino?"

"I... I don't know." Iris's face was so pale, and she was stuttering. "The news didn't reveal much..."

That was what happened last night, and it was not reported by the media. Some of the patients in the hospital recorded the video and uploaded it early that morning. That was how the news spread and they had no idea what actually happened.

The cell phone was left on the administration desk.

"Mr. Godfrey..."

Moses hurriedly followed Theodore, but he couldn't catch up at all. After the elevator door was closed, he stopped helplessly. He sighed silently as he watched Theodore disappear. Iris, who was behind him finally came back to her senses and almost cried as she pulled a long face. "Mr. Lawson, am I fired?"

Moses turned around and saw how bitter the new secretary, Iris, looked. He sighed and said, "Mr. Godfrey can't be bothered with you now. Look at June, she's much calmer than you."

June took a mirror and began to touch her makeup up calmly behind the administrative counter as Theodore left. She was completely unaffected by what happened as if she had gotten used to it. When June saw Iris and Moses looking at her, she put down the makeup and said lightly, "Dr. Trevino's business is the priority. With Dr. Trevino in the picture, Mr. Godfrey can't care less about us."

Iris had been around for only a few days and had not met Everleigh. At the moment, she was confused. She asked as she cried, "Who is Dr. Trevino? Does she have anything to do with me being fired?" Moses and his cousin June looked at each other and exchanged a knowing look. Moses said, "It has a lot to do with you."

The two of them could tell, even though Theodore was very powerful in Ocpeace City, he would flip every time he met this first girlfriend of his. It did not matter who they offended, as long as it was not Dr. Trevino. It was already noon.

Everleigh and Christopher had a late shift the day before, so they rested for half a day that morning. They only arrived at the hospital at almost 11. They made two bowls of instant noodles and ate them in Christopher's office. Jenny knocked on the door and came in with information. "Dr. Meyer, this is your surgical schedule for this afternoon."

"Okay, just put it there."

Everleigh took the schedule and looked at it. "So many? There's one more at night? Can you do it?"

"What do you mean? Do I have a choice?"

"Stop joking around." Everleigh glanced at his arm and said, "Show me your arm."

The previous day, Christopher's arm was injured because of her. Although it was not serious, it was his arm that was injured. His hands and eyes were the most important tools for a surgical doctor. "It's really fine," Christopher said, holding the plastic fork between his teeth. "It's just a cut, a small cut."

"Don't fool around. Let me see." Everleigh took off his white coat.

Christopher had always been sarcastic, and he didn't avoid her. He cooperated and raised his arm, and his charming eyes blinked as if he was shocked by electricity. "Oh, are you that impatient? I can take it off myself!"

Everleigh had gotten used to how shameless he was and didn't want to deal with him. She threw his white coat aside after taking it off for him. Christopher did not need to take the white T-shirt he was wearing off. Then, she took his hand to check his wound.

The wound was not very deep. It was sterilized and treated.

Everleigh frowned and said, "Aren't you going to bandage it? Aren't you afraid of it getting infected?"

The hospital was full of bacteria and viruses. Bacteria could easily penetrate through damaged skin and permeate into the bloodstream. This was especially for Christopher and doctors who were in frequent contact with patients. "It's too stuffy in the summer heat. The wound wouldn't heal easily even if I wrapped it."

"Can you be the same as everyone else? For a doctor, you don't have common sense." Everleigh turned around and took a waterproof plaster from a drawer. "When you are at work, just use it. Take it off when you get home after work." As she spoke, she lowered her head to tend to Christopher's wound.

Christopher was as carefree as usual. He clicked his tongue and said teasingly, "How considerate of you. If my mother saw you, she would shower you with praises."

While she was tending the wound, noises came from outside the office. Jenny seemed to be stopping someone. "Hey? You can't go in..."

Everleigh thought another patient was there to cause trouble, but when she looked up, she saw someone familiar. When he opened the door, his cold face was pale.

The atmosphere around them seemed to freeze as they locked eyes.

Jenny caught up with Theodore from behind and said, "Dr. Trevino, I've told him that it wasn't time for you to see patients yet. This gentleman..."

Everleigh frowned and was silent. "It's okay. We know each other. You can go and do your work, Jenny."

Jenny was stunned for a moment and said, "Oh, okay."

After Jenny left, Theodore was still standing at the door. His tall figure was like an unmovable mountain. He stared at Everleigh, who was in the office. A cold light flickered in his dark eyes.

At the first sight of him, Everleigh thought she was seeing things. This man had become calm and collected after seven years. Why was he panicking like a teenager?

Everleigh looked at him and asked, "Is there anything I can do for you?"

Theodore frowned and his gaze was even colder. The cold gaze looked over Everleigh's shoulder and landed on the man behind her.

Christopher was leaning on the chair as he said, "Mr. Godfrey, do you want me to leave?"

The room was silent.

"I'm sorry, I can't."
