Said I didn't Love Him But I Lied

After the consultation ended, Everleigh came out of the conference room. As she walked, she explained the pros and cons of several plans to Theodore.

"The advantage of Mr. Lawson's plan is that if the surgery is successful, there will be no complications. But after all, there would be an operation. Grandma is old and her body might not be able to take it. Dr. Harrison recommended conservative treatment, but the disadvantage of conservative treatment may be worse than delaying."

"What about your opinion?"

Everleigh frowned and said, "I'm more inclined to Dr. Harrison's recommendation, but I can compromise on it. Firstly, I will keep to the treatment, and then keep Grandma hospitalized for observation. However, I'm afraid that Grandma won't like it if she has to stay in the hospital for too long."

"Then, we'll follow your plan."

Everleigh was slightly stunned. "Don't you want to think about it more?"

Very few patients had family members who were as decisive as Theodore when it came to making decisions. After all, there were both advantages and disadvantages in their plans. These were decisions that determined a person's life. The doctors could only provide them with choices and could not afford to take on any risks.

Theodore's expression was cold and resolute as he said in a concise manner, "I trust you."

Everleigh was dumbstruck. She looked at the man next to her in astonishment.

Theodore said, "You don't have to worry about Grandma. I'll persuade her to stay in the hospital for observation."

...

"The elevator has arrived." Theodore's voice pulled back Everleigh's thoughts.

She came back to her senses and followed him out of the elevator.

Before they arrived at the ward in the in-patient department, they heard children's laughter coming from the ward. "Great-Grandma, you lost. You have to stick another sticker."

"Okay, I'll stick another sticker."

"I'll pick the mermaid one for you!"

...

Everleigh couldn't be more familiar with the girl's voice. She and Theodore looked at each other and opened the door hurriedly. "Adrienne? Alastair? Why are you here?"

At this moment, in the living room of the ward, the carpet was covered with the children's toys. Helen was seated in the middle of the two children with a red rope in her hand. Her face and arms were covered with cartoon stickers. When she looked up, Everleigh's expression changed.

"Umm... Grandma, are you alright?"

When Helen saw Everleigh come back, she smiled and said, "How can I not be alright? Everleigh, your children are so cute and clever. If I have these two children at home, I would be able to wake up laughing even if I fall asleep. I really don't know how Theodore could be so lucky."

Upon hearing this, Everleigh knew that Helen had misunderstood her and was about to explain.

Adrienne smiled at Everleigh and said, "Mommy, you're back! Alastair and I went to find you and you were not there. The nurse said that you were here, so we came here!"

Before Everleigh could speak, Adrienne's eyes lit up, and she shouted to the person behind Everleigh, "Daddy!"

"Adrienne," Everleigh tried to stop her but it was too late. Looking at Helen's clear-minded look, Everleigh felt that she wouldn't be able to clear up the misunderstanding no matter what.

"Daddy, give me a hug!" Adrienne raised her chubby arms to Theodore, who had just entered the door. Her voice was extremely sweet and adorable.

Everleigh was so worried and she had no time to tend to the two children anymore. She explained to Helen in a hurry, "Grandma, I'm sorry. The children are insensible. It's not what you heard. Theodore and I..."

"A child might be insensible, but am I also insensible?" Helen blinked at Everleigh and said, "Everyone has been young before. Everleigh, you don't have to explain. I understand it all."

What did she understand?

Everleigh quickly signaled to Theodore with her eyes, trying to get him to explain, but it was as if he didn't see her. Instead, he walked straight past her and picked up Adrienne, who was lying on the ground, begging for a hug. His actions were extremely natural, as if he did it often.

The look in Helen's eyes became more and more determined.

Adrienne was a person who always bended with the wind. "Daddy, let's go for ice cream later!"

"Alright."

"What do you mean by ice cream? Come down, Adrienne," Everleigh said, frowning.

"No, no, no. Daddy's embrace is the most comfortable." Adrienne had found someone to rely on. She held onto Theodore's neck and didn't let go. Then, she boldly stuck out her tongue and made a face at Everleigh. "Are you coming down or not?" Everleigh was so angry that she couldn't say a word. She reached out to grab the naughty brat.

"Hahaha, Daddy, save me!"

Adrienne was like a koala. She hugged Theodore's body while screaming and dodging Everleigh's hand from left to right.

The scene was chaotic for a while, but Helen's face showed her satisfaction. She elbowed Alastair who was beside her and they secretly exchanged a look with each other.

In the end, Everleigh temporarily spared Adrienne for Helen, who stepped forward to mediate the dispute.

Everleigh still had work to do in the afternoon, so she couldn't take the two children away for a while. Moreover, Helen liked the two children, so she had to compromise and let the two children stay for a while. Before leaving, Everleigh took Adrienne's hand and warned her, "You can accompany Grandma here, but you can't be naughty or have excessive requirements. I will pick you up before getting off work."

"I know. Mommy, you're so long-winded. Great-Grandma likes me very much, right, Great-Grandma?" Adrienne turned around and threw herself into Helen's arms, hugging Helen's neck. Helen smiled and stroked Adrienne's head. "Adrienne, you are so cute, so who wouldn't like you?"

Adrienne took advantage of her and still pretended to be obedient. She held Helen in her arms and said, "I also like you, Great-Grandma."

After that, she waved Everleigh away and said, "Mommy, you'd better leave now. Alastair and I are going to play with Great-Grandma."

If it wasn't for the clinic's urging, Everleigh was really worried about this girl who really wanted big gains. She was so bold that she could do anything.

Theodore saw Everleigh off at the door and noticed her worries. "Don't worry. I'm here. Nothing will happen."

Hearing this, Everleigh couldn't say anything else. She forced the corners of her mouth up and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you."

"When you're done with your shift, I'll send you home."

Everleigh refused, "No need. I drove here myself."

...

In the room, Adrienne and Helen were listening to the conversation outside with their ears pricked up. The expressions they had when interested in gossip were almost exactly the same. Helen was exasperated at his failure. "Seriously? Why send her home? Why don't you invite her to dinner? ;Wouldn't it be better if you sent her back after dinner?" Adrienne nodded repeatedly. "Yes, yes!"

"Adrienne." Helen suddenly thought of something and held Adrienne. She said seriously, "Didn't you and Alastair say just now that there is a parent-child sports day in your school?" "That's right."

Helen had a mysterious look on her face. "I have a way to get your Daddy and Mommy to go with you."

"Really?" Adrienne's eyes were round and full of excitement.

Helen said confidently, "Of course, leave it to me."
