Said I didn't Love Him But I Lied

"What the hell are you talking about?" Everleigh frowned and asked, "Did you make a wrong call?"

"Just take it as me making a wrong call." Leon's voice became cold. "My cousin is still lying in the hospital and he's still thinking about handling the affairs of the Trevino family, even though he almost died. No one can be more cold-blooded than you, Everleigh."

"What did you say?" Everleigh's voice suddenly tightened. "What do you mean he's lying in the hospital?"

When she met Theodore at Godfrey Mansion three days ago, he was clearly fine.

"Last week, he had a car accident, and he had a moderate concussion. He laid in the hospital for a week before he woke up. I just took him back from the hospital on the day you came to denounce him."

Leon's cold voice came from the phone, and not a trace of warmth could be felt.

Boom! Everleigh's mind went blank out of a sudden.

Theodore had been in the hospital for a week due to a car accident?

"Then about my father..."

"Do you think a person lying unconscious in the hospital has the ability to accuse your father?" Leon sneered and said angrily, "How long have you known him? If he really wanted to deal with the Trevino family, would he use such a method? He wouldn't even be able to wipe away the blood from his hands then!"

There was a buzzing in Everleigh's ears.

After a long while, she found her voice. "Which hospital is he in?"

...

After Everleigh hung up the phone, she didn't even have time to explain it to her father. She only said that she had something to do and left instantly. On the way to the hospital, she was also in a state of chaos. She ran through two red lights and almost had an accident.

Theodore was hospitalized in a private hospital.

This hospital had always been known for the service of their medical staff. However, doctors at the top three public hospitals, especially the city hospital where Everleigh worked and which was known for their surgical excellence, had much higher medical standards.

Godfrey Group was working with the city hospital. Logically, if Theodore had an accident, he would usually go to the city hospital for treatment. Just like before, when he had stomach problems, he would be sent to the city hospital for first aid. However, he didn't go there this time.

"Is he hiding from me?" Everleigh thought to herself.

As soon as she thought of this possibility, she felt very flustered.

When she reached the door of the ward, she knocked on the door.

It was Leon who opened the door. When he opened the door and saw Everleigh, he frowned immediately and said, "You came at the right time. He just woke up."

Everleigh asked, "How is he?"

Before Leon could answer, a cold and hoarse voice came from the ward, "Who's there?"

Leon leaned to one side and signaled Everleigh to go in and have a look herself. Then he went out without saying a word.

The door closed with a soft "bang".

Everleigh hesitated before entering.

Inside the ward, Theodore leaned against the bed. There was a financial magazine on top of the light, apricot-colored blanket. He flipped through the magazine with his clean and slender fingers. Hearing the sound of footsteps, he didn't even raise his head. "Do you remember what I just told you? Don't tell Grandma about me being hospitalized."

"It's me." Everleigh stood at the door of the bedroom and spoke softly.

Theodore suddenly raised his head. His face, which was as cold as ice, froze for a moment. It was probably due to his weakened state that his thin and cold lips looked a little pale.

He looked at her for a long time before asking, "Why are you here?"

Everleigh's voice was very heavy. "Why didn't you tell me you had a car accident?"

Theodore frowned slightly. Instead of answering, he asked, "Did Leon tell you?"

"He said that you had a moderate concussion and had been lying in the hospital for a week, unconscious. Why didn't anyone say a word about such a big incident? Why didn't you go to the city hospital for treatment? Just because you are hiding from me?" Everleigh was somewhat incoherent.

A brain concussion was not a joke. One could easily get it with just a slight bump, but many people didn't take care of themselves after the brain concussion. After that, it would cause many illnesses and if something went wrong, it would be a big deal.

"You're thinking too much." Theodore's expression was indifferent. "I didn't go to the city hospital because I don't want Grandma to find out and worry about me."

Madam Scott was hospitalized in the city hospital. The most important thing about her heart disease was that she should not have too many emotional fluctuations. If she knew that he was unconscious, something could definitely happen. Everleigh clenched her fists. After a long time, she said in a muffled voice, "I'm sorry." "What for?"

His question startled her a little.

"You didn't cause the car accident, and my concussion has nothing to do with you. Why are you apologizing?"

The room became quiet all of a sudden, as if even the air had frozen.

Everleigh's voice was very soft when she said, "I misunderstood you about the matters with my Dad."

As told by Leon, Theodore had been in the hospital for a week and was even in a coma. How could he have the time to sign and seal the letter himself, much less report Abraham's fraudulent donation? "And..."

Theodore looked at her. "What else?"

Everleigh pursed her lips and said, "And what I said in your house that day was because I was impulsive. I didn't know that you had just been discharged from the hospital. I'm really sorry."

From what Theodore remembered, Everleigh seldom bowed her head to others. Even when they were still together seven years ago, this kind of situation was very rare.

"When a girl is in a relationship, she must be pampered. They will not do anything wrong. Even if they ever did, it must be the boyfriend's fault. How could a girl apologize? Do you still want a girlfriend?" These were Everleigh's famous sayings.

Theodore looked at the woman in front of him. Compared to seven years ago, she had lost her immaturity and also rubbed off her pride and aloofness. What was left was an exterior that was easy to make people feel like she was gentle and harmless.

However, when he thought of what she said in the study room that day, Theodore still felt a dull pain in his heart.

Her appearance was gentle, but her true self was sharp and meticulous.

"There's no need to apologize. If there's nothing else, I need to rest."

Theodore's cold voice echoed through the room, and there was a deliberate alienation in his eyes.

Everleigh reluctantly nodded and said, "Okay, have a good rest."

She knew that no one could easily forgive such a thing. She wished she could time travel back to three days ago, run to her impulsive self at that time, and slap herself hard.

If she had calmed down a little that day, she wouldn't have made things so bad that it couldn't be resolved.

Coming out from the ward, Everleigh met Leon face to face.

He glanced at his watch and said unpleasantly, "It's only been a few minutes. Are you leaving already? Are you that busy?"

Everleigh said with a bitter smile, "He said he needs to rest."

Upon hearing this, Leon frowned and looked into the ward. "Isn't he buffing himself up at his own cost?"

After that, he looked at Everleigh. "Do you really think that your visit is considered an apology and that you've been sincere?"

Everleigh was slightly stunned.

Leon said straightforwardly, "I can't come to the hospital because I have something to do these two days. He refused to let his family know about being hospitalized, so no one will take care of him..." These words were already very obvious.

Everleigh's expression changed, "You want me to come?"

"Of course. If you hadn't made him so angry that day, he wouldn't have suddenly fallen unconscious and be sent to the hospital. Aren't you a professional doctor? Well, you can take care of him these two days. I don't care anymore."
