Said I didn't Love Him But I Lied

Mrs. Godfrey's hands trembled and she pointed at Theodore for a long time, but she didn't say a word. Her eyes rolled and she passed out directly.

"Aunt Madison." Josephine supported her as her voice rose a few octaves. She glanced at Theodore, signaling him to do something.

He said without turning his head, "Moses, send her to the doctor."

"Yes, Mr. Godfrey." Without hesitation, Moses picked up Mrs. Godfrey and went to find a doctor. Josephine wanted to stay, but she knew her place, so she could only leave with Mrs. Godfrey. Everleigh seemed to be watching a play, and Theodore's words suddenly came to her mind, "I'll handle it." She had heard these words many times.

It'd never come to fruition before, but it was beyond her expectations that day.

"Are you satisfied with that?"

"Does it matter whether I am satisfied or not? I will still be driven out of Ocpeace City by your mother." Although her voice was calm and unremarkable, it could not cover up the irony. Theodore fell silent once more. He turned his head and looked at that cold face. His heart ached. Since when were they reduced to nothing except cold insults?

At this time, the operating theater's doors were opened, and Christopher came out from inside. He took off his mask, revealing his handsome face. His voice was clear but tired. "Everything is fine. You guys can relax." Everleigh also breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. Helen was the only one she cared about in the Godfrey family. Now that Helen was safe, she was relieved.

"But we still need to observe her. Everleigh, come back with me. I happen to crave Hilda's cooking." Christopher said in a teasing tone, as if the behavior of the people in the ward was not his concern. Everleigh nodded, turned around, and walked out without looking at Theodore.

Meanwhile, his heart was filled with bitterness.

Everleigh and Christopher got in the car. He yawned and said, "I was paged before I could get enough sleep. Mr. Lawson originally wanted to page you, but he thought something was wrong and came to me."

"Hmm."

"Mr. Lawson is just making himself suffer. He bowed to the Godfreys' power so quickly. What happened to his desire to serve the people?" He said in a disdainful tone.

Everleigh listened quietly, without any expression. On the contrary, she recalled Theodore's words just now.

Was he trying to atone for his sins?

He felt that he could make it up to her just by being indifferent to Madison. Alas, he thought too naively. It was as if his question of "are you satisfied?" would solve all her sufferings over these years.

Christopher saw that she remained silent, so he turned his head and glanced at her. Her pupils were full of frost, like ice and snow falling. She held the steering wheel tightly and seemed to be controlling her emotions. He reached out and held the back of her hand. "if you want us to die together, just say the word and we'll do it."

She was jarred to her senses by his words, and only then did she realize that her foot was flooring the accelerator.

"I'm sorry."

"It's okay. Just do it." He didn't mind her state at all, as if it didn't matter if he died with her.

She slowed down and took a deep breath. "This is your car. Are you sure you won't feel bad if I crash it?"

"I would have forgotten if you didn't tell me. You can't crash it. You have to take care of it."

Everleigh curled his lips and didn't say anything more.

"I'll ask Felicia to help you get your job back in a couple of days."

"There's no need."

"What do you mean? I have my reasons, okay?" Christopher was very dissatisfied with her careless attitude. Did she still want to compete with Mrs. Godfrey? Or had she really given up? Everleigh raised her eyebrows slightly. There was hidden meaning in his words.

"Tell me, what do you want to do?"

"We can talk about it after you get your job back." Christopher pretended to be mysterious and said. He even blinked his charming eyes, which were shining with starlight. Unfortunately, it was useless in front of Everleigh.

...

Theodore visited the ICU. Through the glass windows, he looked at the person lying on the bed. The nurse was still busy.

Theodore's gaze turned even deeper. A hint of determination flashed through his eyes before it disappeared.

Moses came over after settling the matters with Mrs. Godfrey. He addressed, "Mr. Godfrey."

"Stop all of the city hospital's resources." Theodore didn't turn around. His cold voice rang out as if he wasn't the one who had said those words just now.

Moses was immediately dumbfounded. Stopping all resources was just openly challenging Mrs. Godfrey, wasn't it?

"Mr. Godfrey, I don't think it's appropriate. Madam Scott also takes good care of the hospital. If it really stops..."

"Whose money is it?"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Godfrey." Moses' whole body trembled, and he quickly changed his words. In his heart, he was also upset that he couldn't control his big mouth.

Theodore turned around. His face was expressionless, and his entire body was giving off a chill. It was as if he wasn't in a hospital right now, but a suffocatingly cold glacier.

Moses opened his eyes wide and his pupils contracted slightly. He felt that Mr. Godfrey was colder than before.

That was the harshest he'd ever seen Theodore act.

"Let's go back to work."

"Yes." Even if Moses had balls of steel, he would not dare to open his mouth and speak.

The next day, Mr. Lawson noticed that the hospital's resources had been cut off, and the funds had been diverted.

Mr. Lawson was stunned and quickly called Mrs. Godfrey. Due to her fainting after Theodore angered her, she slept in and recuperated. The butler heard the call, but he had no intention of picking up as it was the family's private affairs and he did not want to be involved.

As a result, because she did not answer the call from Mr. Lawson, he had no choice but to call Theodore and explain the situation to him.

"Mr. Lawson, you are an experienced man so you should have foreseen the consequences."

Mr. Lawson listened to Theodore's cold and bone-piercing voice, as if he was standing behind him, staring at him with those bottomless eyes.

"Mr. Godfrey, what do you mean?"

"Your hospital is also full of talented people. Why can't you see it? The Godfrey family is not short of money, but we value medical prowess very much, so what do you think you should do now?"

Mr. Lawson suddenly understood Theodore's implication, and his voice softened a little. "I am over fifty years old, and it is inevitable that I am a bit confused when doing things. Mr. Godfrey, you just woke me up."

"If you can't handle it, then retire. After all, there are countless talented people in the hospital. What do you think?"

Mr. Lawson wiped at the cold sweat on his forehead. He could now feel Everleigh's feeling of being caught in the middle. It was really too uncomfortable.

"Yes, surely what you said make sense."
