Said I didn't Love Him But I Lied

Theodore looked around the room with a smirk. In the end, his gaze fixed on his mother's.

Looking at the familiar face, he felt miserable. For so many years, she had been aggressively doing everything to the extent that she even hurt Everleigh. Looking at her now, there was no hint of remorse from her for her wrongdoings. He felt lost for words.

He pondered for a moment and said, "If Grandma wasn't in the city hospital, would you still sue?"

Mrs. Godfrey did not answer, but looked at him coldly.

Josephine stood behind him and she didn't dare say anything. The main reason being that she had already offended Theodore. She was worried that if she was to mutter another word, his wrath would be directed at her. It wasn't her battle to fight.

"You are not holding the hospital accountable. The only reason you are doing this is because you want to blame Everleigh. Don't even try to use Grandma's name in vain. After all, you do everything to suit your own purpose." Theodore exposed Madison sugarcoating her acts.

He ought to have known better. Ever since Everleigh left him, he realized how dumb he was to not look into the incident, but blamed her all this while. She had been through so many hardships all because of him, yet his hands were tied. "Theodore, do you know who you're talking to?"

"Of course I do, Madison Allen." He took a step forward in an imposing manner. The coldness in his eyes made it seem as if he was looking at a stranger.

He didn't see her as his mother at all.

Upon hearing Theodore's words, everyone in the room was shocked. Who would have thought that he would say something like that? That was his biological mother.

Madison's eyes widened with disbelief, "You..."

"Why are you so shocked by my words? Everyone has their limits. Where's yours?" His cold gaze was like a knife, piercing through Madison's heart.

She never expected that her son, whom she brought up, would say such a thing.

Josephine was also shocked. Although she knew that their relationship wasn't good, she didn't expect that it would be this bad.

Wasn't Theodore essentially cutting ties with his mother?

His gaze swept over the lawyers sitting by the side. At this point, there was nothing to hold back. If they all wanted to make him a fool, then so be it.

He said to them, "If any of you dare to file a lawsuit against the hospital, you'll be going against me. If you don't believe me, then just give it a try." With that, he left without looking back. Those lawyers looked at each other and they didn't know what to do.

Josephine wanted to leave with him but Theodore drove away, completely ignoring her.

The next day, news about the city hospital being sued spread. Everleigh heard about the news when she was at home watching TV.

She felt nothing but irony. Surely, Theodore's words couldn't be trusted as what he said was not in accordance with his actual actions.

"Is it about Madam Helen's passing?" Abraham came downstairs, and his emotions could not be discerned from his words. "Yes."

"Really?" He said in a doubtful tone.

She remained silent for a long time.

Abraham's eyes dimmed a little. With a chuckle, he said, "I believe that you didn't make a mistake."

"Yeah." She immediately burst out laughing. Her eyes, in particular, sparkled with joy.

It felt nice to have your family's trust.

Abraham looked at her gently, but there was faint anxiety deep down. He had a gut feeling that it would not end so easily this time.

When they were chatting, the door opened and Selena entered the room furiously. "What's this about?" Abraham and Everleigh asked out of curiosity.

"Let's not talk about it. Everleigh, what have you done this time? I've been harassed on set all day." Selena sat angrily on the sofa, her face still showing apparent fury.

Everleigh looked downwards and didn't say a single thing.

"Don't you keep quiet! Now, everyone is spreading the word that you are a careless doctor and Mrs. Godfrey died because of you. What are you doing? Even the sly fox knows to hide his tail after committing a crime." Upon hearing this, Abraham shouted angrily at Selena, "What nonsense are you spouting? Your sister is not that kind of person."

Selena was startled at his shout and murmured under her breath, "Well no matter what, she should do her job properly."

Everleigh heard what she said and smiled widely. Although Selena's words were not pleasant to hear, she could feel her concern for her.

"Your sister is a good doctor. If someone attempts to frame her, there is nothing she can do no matter how good of a job she is doing. This is how society works." Abraham's voice echoed throughout the room. Everleigh and Selena were both silent, their expressions worried.

A ringtone broke the ice. It was from Mr. Lawson, and Everleigh knew what was coming.

"Hello Mr. Lawson."

"You've seen it, haven't you?"

"Yes, I did. Why are you calling me?" Everleigh couldn't figure out his purpose in calling her.

According to protocol, she would have to wait to be investigated, and it should have nothing to do with the hospital.

Mr. Lawson said in a low voice, "Now that the hospital is under investigation, you should be present as well. Mrs. Godfrey will not let this go easily."

"I have been suspended, and my credibility has already been destroyed. I will cooperate with the investigation. As for the others, I have nothing to do with it." Everleigh ignored his last sentence.

Mr. Lawson found her attitude annoying, as if she was not taking it seriously.

"Everleigh, did you do it on purpose?"

"Mr. Lawson, what do you mean? I followed all of your instructions. What is there to blame me for?" Everleigh's answer was neither humble nor pushy.

Abraham was satisfied with her words. A person with a clear conscience should stand tall, and their words should be confident. That was the last shred of dignity one had left.

Meanwhile, Selena was full of disdain as she thought to herself, "Why is she still pretending that everything is okay?"

Mr. Lawson was angered by her words and he hung up right away.

However, Everleigh wasn't offended at all. At this point, she was already bullet-proof.

As soon as the phone was hung up, Christopher called.

"Christopher."

"There is a lead now. I have to go to the nightclub tonight," he said immediately and he sounded worried.

Everleigh's eyes gleamed slightly, and she smiled a little. "Okay, then take care of yourself."

"Trust me, but I heard that there are many beautiful women in this nightclub. For someone like me, it's really a perfect distraction," he said jokingly.

She felt that this man had no idea what his limits were. If Felicia knew that he was like this, there would be hell to pay.

Everleigh hung up the phone and decided to not say another word to him. Every word she said seemed to be killing her brain cells.

Hearing Christopher's words, Selena couldn't help but sneer. "Your taste in men is horrible."
