Said I didn't Love Him But I Lied

"What's the matter?" Helen looked at Everleigh with concern in her eyes.

"Nothing, I'm fine." Everleigh quickly waved her hand. She tried to explain something, but Theodore pushed a glass of lemonade into her hand without saying another word. Although he didn't say anything, this action gave Everleigh a strange feeling in her chest. As expected, she spotted the amused look on Helen's face when she looked up. Then, Helen said to the two children beside her, "Alastair, Adrienne, if you're done eating, let's leave early today. There's nothing to worry about, is there?"

Adrienne nodded with a bun in her mouth. "We won't disturb Mommy and Daddy's bonding time anymore."

Bonding time?

With that, Everleigh's expression changed. "Adrienne, what are you talking about?"

"Oh, Mommy, please don't be embarrassed." Adrienne swallowed the bun with great effort before she took the big strawberry handed to her by Helen. She shook her head and said, "Men and women must all marry. Alastair and I understand that much."

"I'm marr..." Everleigh wanted to correct Adrienne, but for some reason, when she glanced at Theodore from the corner of her eyes, she swallowed the rest of her words.

The fact that she was married was something that Theodore had long known. However, it was always very difficult for her to mention this in front of him. She didn't want to lie, especially to him.

Although she only said half of the words, Theodore knew what she wanted to say. He said casually, "Adrienne, if you like this bun, you can pack it and bring it back later." Adrienne immediately smiled and nodded seriously. "Okay, thank you, Daddy!"

"Good girl." Helen stroked Adrienne's head lovingly and said, "With these two little kids bouncing around the house, I honestly feel like they've added years to my life."

After that, the atmosphere was much more relaxed as the topic was changed.

Next, Everleigh comforted Helen, "Grandma, don't say that. You're in good health. As long as you listen to the doctor's advice and take good care of yourself, you will be discharged from the hospital soon."

"I don't want to leave the hospital," Helen shook her head and said, "These two are in the hospital with me. If I go home, I'll be alone again, so what's the point?"

"Even after you are discharged from the hospital, Alastair and Adrienne can visit you often."

However, Helen just smiled in reply and picked up some food for Adrienne dotingly.

What she wanted was not for the two children to see her every now and then. The children of the Godfrey family should have grown up in the Godfrey family home in the first place. After Everleigh married Theodore, these two kids would be the legitimate children of the Godfrey family and no one could take them away from her.

Of course, Everleigh couldn't figure out what Helen was thinking. She had finally gotten off the topic of what happened the previous night, so she breathed a sigh of relief and thought to herself that she absolutely wouldn't go into the bedroom again that night. Fortunately, it was only Helen who saw it. If it was seen by others, it would be a big misunderstanding.

After breakfast, Moses arrived.

Everleigh wanted to send the two children to school, and Helen needed to go back to the hospital. She also wanted to go back to work, so she just took them together with her.

After returning to the hospital, Everleigh personally sent Helen back to her ward.

"Grandma, my apologies about Adrienne. She was a little ignorant to have dragged Alastair here to bother you so early in the morning."

"No, Adrienne is a very sensible child. She knew that Theodore was hospitalized, so she called me and said that she wanted to go to the hospital to see him. It was I who sent someone to pick her and Alastair up. Don't blame them." Everleigh was stunned for a moment and asked, "How did Adrienne know that?"

Helen turned her gaze and said, "I don't know. Maybe she heard it somewhere. If it wasn't for her, I wouldn't know that you had been taking care of him the whole time. Thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard. It's what I should do. After all, we are... friends."

When the word "friend" was spoken, Everleigh felt a burst of sadness in her heart.

Helen frowned and took her hand. "Everleigh, I watched Theodore grow up. Although he is quiet and isn't very good at making a girl happy, if he likes someone, it will stay with him for a lifetime. He is very sincere. If you marry him, he will not treat you shabbily."

Everleigh froze for a moment before hurriedly explaining, "Grandma, you might really have misunderstood. Theodore and I are just ordinary friends, and... and I'm already marr..."

Before Everleigh could finish her words, her cell phone rang in her pocket. She took it out and saw that it was the intern. She said hurriedly, "Grandma, I have to go to the clinic. I'm leaving now. Call me if there's anything." "Yes, alright."

Seeing Everleigh leave the ward, Helen took out her mobile phone and made a phone call.

"Mr. Lawson, I have something to tell you."

"Go ahead."

"I'm going to invest another five million in medical equipment for the medical outpost in Gansen Village."

"Really?"

"Of course, but I have a request."

"Your wish is my command."

"I don't trust anyone else except Dr. Meyer from your hospital to do this. Therefore, I hope that he will be responsible for the future purchasing, inspection ;and transportation of the medical equipment until the medical outpost is completed." Then, a hesitant voice came from the other end of the phone. "Dr. Meyer again? He has gone to the countryside to practice medicine for a long time, and I'm sure he'll be stuck there for another half year if he does this. That doesn't seem to be a good idea, does it? I have to consult him first. Furthermore, I would like to add that our hospital has plenty of other brilliant doctors."

Helen's voice deepened a few octaves. "I don't feel at ease about other doctors, so it has to be Dr. Meyer. Otherwise, I can also choose another hospital to invest in."

After she said that, Mr. Lawson became anxious on the other end of the phone and said, "Madam Scott, don't take what I said to heart. It's not a big deal. No problem, it's all on me. It's time to give the young people a chance to hone their skills."

"That's settled then. The funds will arrive in the afternoon."

"Alright."

...

After she hung up the phone, Helen's graceful face broke into a cunning smile, and she was very proud of herself.

At that time, Everleigh just got out of the elevator and met the intern who called her.

"Dr. Trevino."

Everleigh nodded and walked side by side in the direction of the conference room with the intern. She asked, "What's going on? Why are we suddenly convening for a meeting?" Then, the intern replied with a serious expression. "We've found a match for the heart and the head of the cardiology department has already come up with a new plan."

"Who is it a match to?"

"The VIP, Madam Scott."

Everleigh was rather astonished and she said, "Madam Scott's match?"

"Yes, they found it this morning, and the match was confirmed at the organ storage bank. The donor died in a car accident not long ago. Two years ago, he signed an organ donation agreement and now the priority is put on Madam Scott." Then, Everleigh came to her senses and asked, "Is Dr. Harrison here?"

"I've informed him. He should be in the conference room."

"Okay, let's go."

The most difficult part of heart transplant surgery was not the operation, but finding a match. It was very difficult to find a suitable match. However, Helen didn't consider the transplanting surgery. Now that she was suddenly matched up, it caught people off guard.
