Said I didn't Love Him But I Lied

Theodore looked at Madison coldly as if he was looking at a stranger. Just as he was about to open his mouth, he felt a surge of blood in his chest. With a 'pfft', he spat out a mouthful of blood. Then, he collapsed.

Everleigh and Christopher saw this and quickly walked over to hold him up. They didn't expect that this would take such a big toll on him. They hurriedly placed a stethoscope on his chest. Everleigh looked nervous, and she turned to the nurse and said, "Send him to the emergency room as soon as possible."

Mrs. Godfrey was still standing in the same place in a daze. She could not believe that her son was lying in front of her, spitting blood.

It wasn't until Theodore was sent into the emergency room that she regained her senses.

Mr. Lawson stood next to her. The sweat on his forehead didn't stop. First, it was Helen, and now, it was Theodore. If things went on like this, the hospital would be in grave danger.

Theodore had become like this because of stress. He would slowly recover if he took some time to adjust his condition.

After Everleigh and Christopher came out, they didn't see anyone. Instead, Stainley came over and his expression was bad.

"Let's go. Mr. Lawson is holding an emergency meeting."

"Is it because of Madam Scott?" Christopher asked tentatively.

Stainley nodded and looked at Everleigh with concern.

Her eyes were still red. He didn't know whether she was tired or sad about Helen's death.

"If it's meant to be, it will be. We can't avoid it. Let's go." Her voice was hoarse and her throat was burning with pain.

Christopher nodded as he agreed wholeheartedly. After all, they were the main surgeons.

Just as Everleigh took a step forward, Stainley grabbed her hand and looked at her with an expression that seemed like he wanted to speak, but he stopped himself.

She gave a bitter smile. "I'll be fine."

"I'll go with you two." Stainley really wanted to tell her that he would accompany her, but he changed his words at the last moment.

Christopher saw through his intentions and the light in his eyes dimmed. He said softly, "Let's go to the meeting first."

When the three of them entered the conference room, all the doctors and nurses looked at her.

It was the first time that Everleigh had been looked at like that. She sneered in her heart and walked straight to her seat.

Seeing that everyone was there, Mr. Lawson said in a deep voice, "Since everyone is here, let's talk. Dr. Trevino, Mrs. Godfrey has just issued a proposal to formally sue the hospital, so I will have to suspend you."

"Why? It's normal for elderly patients to die. Who can guarantee that anyone who enters the operating room can come out safely?" Christopher's voice was not loud, but everyone present could hear the dissatisfaction in his tone clearly. The other doctors looked at each other when they heard his words. They had experienced this kind of thing themselves, and there was nothing they could do about it.

Everyone wished for each and every one of their patients to live. However, they were humans, not God.

One of them agreed with Christopher's words. He stood up and said, "Mr. Lawson, Dr. Meyer is right."

"Yes, we are all fighting with the Grim Reaper, and we can't say that we can rescue everyone. I don't think it's appropriate to suspend her because of this."

"Yes, Dr. Trevino's medical skills have also been approved by Dr. Harrison. If she can't do it, then how many people present here can?"

Everleigh looked directly at the doctor who said that. She didn't have much contact with him previously, so she didn't expect that he had such a high opinion of her. Christopher arched his eyebrows slightly. Finally, someone had spoken the truth.

"Mr. Lawson, do you think I should be suspended?" Everleigh stood up with a serious look in her eyes.

He lowered his gaze, and he didn't know what to say. He persuaded her to come back, but she'd screwed up. Embarrassment flooded his face.

"But now Mrs. Godfrey thinks that you did it on purpose..."

"What did I do on purpose? Dr. Meyer and the other nurses were also there. Did I miss the treatment time, or did I deliberately not save her?" Everleigh straightened her back and looked cold. She had no intention of retreating. This was related to her reputation, and she couldn't let it go.

When faced with her question, he couldn't say a word.

"Mr. Lawson, are you afraid of Mrs. Godfrey? If you fire Everleigh, then the hospital won't be sued, right?" Christopher's casual words hit the nail right on the head, which made Mr. Lawson feel ashamed.

"You..."

Stainley also stood up and said, "Mr. Lawson, I think we should think about it from a new point of view. After all, it is also related to the reputation of our hospital. Whether we are cowed by power or defending justice depends on your decision."

Stainley's words made Everleigh take a deep breath. She didn't realize before that he dared to speak in such a way. It was tantamount to forcing Mr. Lawson to make a choice.

Sure enough, when Mr. Lawson heard these words, his expression darkened instantly, and he shot a sharp look at Stainley, who was not afraid to stand face to face with him.

The atmosphere froze instantly. Other doctors also wanted to see what Mr. Lawson would do. No one had ever dared to talk to him like this.

"The fact is that she is dead. Everleigh is going to be suspended as that is the rule. As for the truth, we can wait for the results of the investigation," Mr. Lawson replied in a stern voice and his expression still looked very ugly. Everleigh lowered her head and glanced at Christopher. On the other hand, he gave her a reassuring look.

The problem this time was a little tricky, but it could still be solved.

...

When Theodore woke up, Josephine was sitting next to him. She was holding her phone with one hand and swiping at something.

Perhaps she felt his gaze, so she raised her head and looked at him. When she saw his familiar and deep eyes, her face lit up with joy. "You're awake. I'll call the doctor."

"What are you doing here?" His eyes darkened. His hoarse voice echoed in the room, making him look very weak.

Josephine lowered her eyes, and she felt very upset. "Was he looking forward to someone else coming? Perhaps he was looking forward to Everleigh's arrival?" She thought.

"The doctor said that you're overstressed. Aunt Madison wants to go back and prepare... so I came to see you." She realized that she had said something wrong and quickly opened her mouth. Theodore's brows knitted together as he recalled what Madison had said before he fainted.

He was shocked and he sat up from the bed. "Where is my mother?"

"Aunt Madison is at home... Don't be too anxious. The doctor said that you need to rest." She wanted to stop him and prevent him from taking out the IV.

Theodore ignored her. He couldn't afford to let Everleigh have any more mishaps. He also believed that she would feel some pressure from this operation. And the culprit of this incident was Madison.

"Wait, I'll go with you." Josephine looked worried, afraid that the mother and son would quarrel with each other.

Theodore ignored her and went straight out. When he opened the door, he saw Everleigh and Christopher coming from the opposite side.
