Said I didn't Love Him But I Lied

The force on her wrist pulled Everleigh's whole body and made her do a 180-degree rotation. When she looked up in surprise, her lower back was already pressed against the sink.

Theodore's hands lightly rested on the marble counter on both sides of her body. He leaned down a little over and breathed into her neck. Everleigh's pupils contracted, and she leaned backward instinctively. However, she slipped. "Ah..."

Amidst a cry of surprise, the man stretched out his long arms and wrapped them around her waist.

"What are you doing?" Everleigh raised her hand quickly, but she accidentally patted the man's chest instead.

His strong and sturdy chest was muscular, and her right palm could clearly feel the heartbeat of his heart. Everleigh's eyes widened suddenly, and she swallowed subconsciously.

"Have you touched enough?" A cold voice came from above her head.

Everleigh immediately wanted to draw back her hand, but at this time, her hands were hanging between the two of them and she had nowhere to put her hands. She was so nervous that she couldn't even breathe, and the feeling of suffocation made her sweat.

"Let... Let go of me first."

Theodore acted as if he didn't hear her words. He casually placed his hand on the counter behind her, forming an area that she couldn't escape from. Suppressing his voice, he asked, "Why are you here again?"

Everleigh only felt her throat tighten and the way she tried leaning back really made her waist a little unbearable. After a long time, she found her voice. "I did something wrong, so it's not good to leave without taking responsibility. I feel sorry."

Theodore's eyes darkened when he heard her words. "Is that so? You only feel sorry? What if there weren't any matters with your family?"

If it hadn't been for the Trevino family's incident and this misunderstanding, no matter how severe his injuries were, it still had nothing to do with her.

Everleigh was a little stunned and speechless for a moment.

The bathroom was extremely quiet, as if one could hear the sound of a strand of hair falling to the ground.

Everleigh looked up. "No..."

"Mr. Godfrey, you..." The sound of the door opening came from outside the washroom, accompanied by Moses' voice. Everleigh and Theodore both raised their heads and looked towards the source of the voice. Moses pushed the bedroom door with one hand and his foot was still half hanging into the room. He was also looking in the direction of the bathroom. At the moment when he saw this scene, his eyes widened. The air was almost frozen.

"I'm... I'm sorry, Mr. Godfrey and Dr. Trevino. It's not the right time for me to come here. Please continue. I'm leaving now!"

After saying this, Moses closed the door hurriedly.

With a bang, the sound of the door closing echoed in the room. The frozen atmosphere was not broken, and they looked at each other even more awkwardly. Looking at the still-shaking door, Theodore suppressed the anger in his eyes. After a while, he straightened up and withdrew his arms from Everleigh's sides. Before he could open his mouth to speak.

"Well... I... I'll go out first. Call me if you need anything," Everleigh said and ran out of the bathroom in a hurry, her face burning.

After Everleigh left, Theodore looked back into the mirror on the opposite side. He stared at the person in the mirror for a long time, but his eyes seemed to look through this person to see someone else. He was lost in thought. Outside the bedroom, Moses was setting the breakfast he had brought on the table.

Hearing the sound of the door opening behind him, he looked at Everleigh and asked, "Dr. Trevino, why did you come out?"

This question made Everleigh twitch the corners of her mouth. She waved her hands as if nothing had happened and explained awkwardly, "I just wanted to help him use the bathroom. Don't misunderstand."

"What am I misunderstanding about? Isn't all this normal?" Moses said with an 'I understand' expression. "Mr. Godfrey hurt his head, not his legs..."

Everleigh's expression became stiffer.

She was wondering why Theodore could come out to drink the fish soup the night before but couldn't go to the bathroom. Just now, she was really stupid, and she listened to him without question!

It was over now, ;and she could never reclaim her reputation anymore.

"Dr. Trevino, this is the breakfast I bought. You haven't eaten yet, have you? Would you like some?"

"I've also..." Everleigh was about to say that she had also bought breakfast, but when she thought that the breakfast she bought was still in the bedroom, she didn't bother to explain. "Mr. Lawson, since you're here, I'll go first. I have to go to the hospital to work."

"Huh? You're not waiting for Mr. Godfrey to come out?" Moses put down the things in his hand, "Have I disturbed you two? I'll leave now."

"No, don't. No, please inform him for me. I'll come back at night."

After that, Everleigh took her bag from the sofa hurriedly, for fear that Moses would say something more, and left in a hurry.

Looking at Everleigh's back, Moses suddenly felt a little nervous, standing in the same place. He felt a chill creep down his spine. He subconsciously looked back and suddenly shivered.

At god-knows when, Theodore had opened the door and was standing in front of the bedroom door.

"Mr. Godfrey..." Moses coughed to cover up his panic. "Did I come a little early?"

"What do you think?"

As soon as his words fell, Moses broke out in a cold sweat.

He had a feeling that his bonus for that month's salary was about to be deducted.

On the other side, Everleigh rushed back to the hospital to work.

It was still early, and it was only half-past seven in the morning when she arrived at the office. The clinic was not open yet, and her other colleagues had not arrived. It was rare to see the corridor to be so quiet.

The wash bag she brought from home the previous day was still stuffed in the cabinet. She took it out to simply wash her face. She looked at herself in the mirror. She didn't know why, but when she thought of the scene in the bathroom that morning, her face suddenly flushed red.

As she was lost in thought, she heard her phone ringing in her pocket.

"Hello?"

Christopher's voice came from the other end of the phone. He said in surprise, "Hmm? You got up early today. It's not time to work yet, is it? Are you on the night shift?"

Everleigh turned around and leaned back against the sink. She huffed, "You still called me even though you knew it's early?"

"That's because I have something to tell you."

"What's the matter?"

"The date for me to come back was delayed again."

Everleigh snorted. "Why? Are you so popular with the people in the village, and the whole village forced you to stay to cure their diseases?"

"Am I so capable?" Christopher said in a somewhat indignant tone. "I suspect that Mr. Lawson doesn't like me and deliberately made me stay in this poor and backward place. He said that the government was going to support the village and build a medical station. He asked me to stay and keep an eye on it. He even handed over all the medical supplies to me. I've really had enough!"

"Why is it so sudden?"

"What's so sudden? I now suspect that Mr. Lawson had planned it for a long time. Perhaps he will find an excuse to let me stay here and never go back after the medical station is built." "That's good. You can have a bittersweet memory then."

"Can you please treat me better? By the way," Christopher suddenly thought of something else, "I have another thing to ask you. What happened to Cecil these two days?"

"Cecil?" Everleigh stood up straight. "What's wrong with her?"
