Said I didn't Love Him But I Lied

Helen was afraid that Everleigh would not believe her, so she took out her car key and waved it in front of Everleigh. "Look, I didn't lie to you. My car is parked in the parking lot."

Everleigh swallowed silently. After digesting her shock, she said seriously, "I'm more curious about which hospital gave you your health certificate."

She had a history of heart disease, but she could still receive a health certificate to verify her driving license. Wasn't this taking her life as a joke?"

"Ocpeace City's hospital."

"Ocpeace City..."

Everleigh choked, and she felt very embarrassed at the moment.

How could it be such a coincidence?

Helen muttered to herself like a child, "The reason I'm going back to Ocpeace City is to get another health certificate. Otherwise, my driver's license will be terminated. It's really too troublesome that I need to have a physical examination every year."

"You think it's troublesome? The expressway's toller actually dared to let you enter." Everleigh looked serious. "You driving like this is endangering others and also a danger to your health. When your family comes, I will talk to them about it." Everleigh had been a doctor for several years and had always been straightforward with disobedient patients. If some things weren't told to them in a critical way, they wouldn't take it seriously, especially the elders.

Helen seemed to have never had anyone speak to her in this way. There was a new feeling in her. "Okay, when you see my grandson, you can scold him."

"How can I not scold him? Even if you are in good health, someone should still accompany you when you drive."

"My grandson is always busy with work."

"How busy can he be?" Everleigh's disdain was obvious in her words. "If he's so busy that he can't even take care of his family, what's the point of his job?" Helen nodded repeatedly. She seemed to be in favor of such words.

The two of them chatted for a while. Before they knew it, the staff members of the service area knocked on the door and said that the ambulance had arrived and that they would arrange for Helen to return to Ocpeace City.

Everleigh was a member of the medical staff who took part in the emergency treatment. In order to prevent medical disputes in the follow-up, she had to follow the ambulance back to Ocpeace City. In the corridor of the in-patient department of the hospital.

The nurse returned Everleigh's medical license and her work certificate to her and thanked her, "Dr. Trevino, the results of the examination have come out. The rescue was done in time, so the patient is fine." Everleigh put away her certificate and said with a smile, "You're welcome. I'll go in and say hello to the patient before leaving."

"Aren't you going to wait? The patient's family will be here soon. They said they want to personally thank you on the phone."

"There's no need. I still have work to do."

After Everleigh refused, she knocked on the door and entered the ward.

"Madam, are you feeling better?"

Helen leaned against the edge of the bed and had changed into a gray striped hospital gown. Despite her curly, silvery-white hair, she looked energetic and didn't look like a person who needed to be hospitalized at all. "Girl, come and sit down. There are some apples here. Have one."

"No, I'm here to say goodbye," Everleigh smiled and said, standing at the foot of the bed. "Have a good rest and take care of yourself. Don't drive alone in the future anymore."

"Are you leaving?" Helen straightened up immediately.

"Yes, I have work to do. I have to rush before it gets dark."

As they were talking, the door of the ward opened from the outside and a tall figure rushed in. His voice was cold and anxious, "Grandma..." Everleigh's eyes met his.

Theodore stood at the door of the ward, while Everleigh stood at the foot of the bed. The moment they saw each other, there was a different degree of shock in both of their eyes. "Why are you..."

Everleigh looked at Theodore for a long while, as if she had thought of something. Then, she turned to look at Helen, who was lying on the hospital bed, and suddenly understood. How could it be such a coincidence? This old lady was his grandmother?

Theodore was also in a daze. "So... It was you who saved Grandma?"

"Do you know each other?"

A voice came from the hospital bed.

"Huh?" Everleigh and Theodore raised their heads at the same time. They looked at Helen but didn't know what to say.

The atmosphere suddenly became subtle.

Helen looked at the two people in front of her with a puzzled face. "Why are you both in a daze?"

"Yes, we do know each other." Theodore was the first to come back to his senses. He looked at Everleigh with a complicated expression. "I didn't expect her to be the one who saved you. Grandma, are you okay?" Helen waved her hand casually. "I'm fine. Fortunately, this girl accompanied me all the way. But what are the odds? You two have met? How do you know each other?"

When she asked, "How do you know each other?" Helen prolonged her tone deliberately. A hint of curiosity appeared in her smiling eyes and she looked as if she was in high spirits.

Theodore looked at Everleigh.

Before he opened his mouth, Everleigh hurriedly avoided his eyes and looked at her watch with her head down. "Hmm, I have something to do so I have to go now, Madam. I'll come and see you when I'm back in Ocpeace City." Helen smiled and nodded. She even waved at Everleigh, "Okay, see you next time."

The door closed and Helen's gaze fell on the foot of the bed. "Are you still looking? Your eyes are about to follow her."

Theodore snapped back to reality. "What did you say?"

"I said that if you want to pursue her, then go. What's the use of just staring at her?"

"I wasn't pursuing her."

"Oh, really?" Helen raised her eyebrows and had a defiant look, like a child. "When you came in and saw her, your eyes didn't move at all. You almost became stuck to her, but you didn't even chase after her. No wonder you can't find a wife. You only listen to your mother."

Upon hearing this, Theodore's brow furrowed.

Helen's face was full of disappointment. She sighed and said, "I thought you were hopeless. It seems like I still have to helplessly watch you marry the girl from the Bailey family. I won't go to the wedding."

As she spoke, Helen casually flipped through the magazine on the bedside table, looking as if she didn't want to bother with Theodore.

Theodore stood there for a while before suddenly saying, "Grandma, I'm going out for a while."

"Just go do your own thing." Helen didn't even look at him and her expression was indifferent. However, when Theodore left, she immediately threw aside the magazine and bounced up from the bed. She quietly followed Theodore to the door, carefully opened the door of the ward and stuck her ear out.

The sound of a phone call could be heard from the outside.

"Moses, contact Mr. Lawson of the hospital and replace Everleigh from the list of people who will go to the countryside. Let her stay in Ocpeace City."

...

Across the door, Helen bent over and smiled so widely that her eyes could not be seen. She covered her mouth so that she wouldn't burst out in laughter.

He dared to say that he wasn't chasing after her. Now that he had made such a move behind the scene, it was obvious that he was just in denial.
