Said I didn't Love Him But I Lied

Christopher looked up at the sky, his mouth curving into a smile. "Have you seen any nightclub goers that don't smoke?"

Stainley stood beside him and said with a chuckle, "Everleigh doesn't like the smell of smoke very much."

"That's why I never smoke in front of her," Christopher said. His face was covered in sorrow, and his eyes were full of complicated emotions.

Stainley stood side by side with him. After the sun rose, a ray of golden light shone on the both of them. The white coats gave off a faint reflection under the sun, and it made them look like angels. "Everleigh loves sunrises like this, so it's a pity that she sleeps like a log every night." Stainley felt the warmth of the sun, and he recalled what she said a few years ago.

She had said that she liked sunrises the most, as they were symbols of new life and also the beginning of new growth.

It was very encouraging to her.

"Let's go. I'm going to check on her." Christopher put out the cigarette and headed inside.

It was already noon when Everleigh woke up. She felt the scorching sunlight shining on her, making her sweat all over.

She didn't open her eyes until she felt that it was too hot to bear.

Her hair was damp with sweat as she turned her head and looked at May, who seemed busy, "May."

"Oh Dr. Trevino, you're awake. Are you feeling okay?" Hearing Everleigh's voice, May turned her head with a delighted expression on her face. She quickly walked over to her bed.

Everleigh still remembered what had happened before she fainted, so she parted her dry lips gently and asked, "Where is Dr. Meyer?"

"He's in the middle of surgery, but it's about to be over," May said as she looked at her watch.

Everleigh nodded and turned her head to look out of the window. The sunshine was strong, but it was breezy as well so she still felt rather comfortable.

The sound of her grumbling stomach could be heard clearly in the quiet ward.

Hence, she blushed in embarrassment.

"It seems like you're hungry. Okay, I am going to get you some soup." May smiled slightly and did not laugh at Everleigh's rumbling tummy.

Then, she immediately went to buy some soup.

Everleigh also knew that she could only consume soup in her current state.

When Christopher arrived, he brought a lot of delicious food with him. "Are you done with your soup? I brought you something delicious."

Everleigh wiped her mouth. She felt so full that she was about to explode, so she said, "I'll have it for dinner. I'm not Adrienne, who likes to stuff her stomach to her limits."

She could tell the food in his hand was really delicious, but she really couldn't eat anything else.

He put the things aside and sat down on a chair.

"Honestly, what were you thinking? Why did you starve yourself?" He rolled his eyes at her, but they were still filled with distress.

She smiled without saying a word.

Well, she was out of ideas at the time.

Besides, there was nothing she could use for help, and the windows had been welded tightly, so she could only resort to that trick.

"Where's Stainley?" Everleigh remembered that he had come to her aid as well.

"He is in charge of your patients. Mr. Lawson was very unhappy when you weren't around and Stainley didn't want you to be in trouble, so he took over the responsibility for you. Now I know why my sister invested in the hospital. Look, if Mr. Lawson wanted to throw a tantrum, he would have to think about the consequences." Christopher realized that his sister had made a great move.

Felicia had even thought ahead of time. If he didn't know better, he would have thought that she had an omen that Everleigh would be in trouble.

Meanwhile, Everleigh's hospitalization was made known to the Trevino family. Adrienne was crying and looking for her mommy. Although Alastair was quiet, his eyes were still red-rimmed and he looked worried.

Because of this, Abraham had to take them to the hospital and Adrienne arrived at the hospital in tears. Seeing that Everleigh had lost a lot of weight, she cried even more, "Mommy, who bullied you? Shall we go back? Let's go abroad and never come back again..."

Adrienne rushed to Everleigh's side as soon as she entered the ward, and she cried so loudly that her voice turned hoarse.

"It's okay, I'm fine. Don't cry anymore."

"No, you're obviously very... Boohoo... Let's go back, okay... Alright..." Adrienne was out of breath because of all the crying.

As for Alastair, he walked over and grabbed at the hem of Everleigh's clothes. Looking at her tired eyes, he had mixed feelings.

When Christopher came in with some fruit, he heard Adrienne's voice. He quickly walked over and hugged her. "Why are you crying, my little princess?"

She sobbed very forlornly and the sight made Christopher feel sorry for her.

Then, Abraham walked in and saw his daughter. She was thin and looked really pale. "Why are you hospitalized out of the blue again?"

"I'm just exhausted from all the work I have." She didn't want to worry him, so she could only say something to placate him.

Abraham knew how hard she worked, but she would never overwork herself like this.

After all, she was his daughter and he could tell whether she was lying or not. He looked at Christopher who was patiently comforting Adrienne. She stopped crying obediently shortly after. Meanwhile, Alastair stood aside with a lowered gaze, and there was a cold glint in his eyes.

He didn't believe a single word of Everleigh's excuse.

When he received Christopher's call, he already felt as if something had happened. He knew that something must be up when Everleigh didn't come home.

"Don't worry. Your mommy will be fine. I'll take care of her." Christopher put Adrienne down on the sofa. Then, he took out the fruits he bought and gave them to the children.

He also gave Abraham a banana and said, "Dad, you must be tired from looking after the children."

Abraham felt goosebumps all over his body when he heard Christopher calling him dad.

She felt a chill run down her spine.

It was very unusual for Christopher to be so serious.

"Mm." Abraham didn't want to embarrass him, so he took the banana and sat next to Adrienne.

...

Meanwhile, in Theodore's office, the table was piled with documents. They were all about Everleigh.

Everything matched. Be it the date, time, eye-witnesses, and especially the car that appeared on that fateful rainy night. He discovered everything Josephine and Cindy did. Hence, his gaze was as cold as ice. His expression was unpleasant, and his entire body emanated a chilling aura.

Moses stood by his side and he could feel his legs shaking a little. For the first time, he realized that Mr. Godfrey's silence was even more terrifying than his words. "Is the information accurate?"

"Yes." He nodded and said as he wiped the cold sweat on his forehead.

Theodore sneered. His laughter spread throughout the room and it grew ever louder.

Meanwhile, Moses' face showed his fear. He felt that Mr. Godfrey might have gone insane.

"Mr. Godfrey..."

"Stop all the connections we have with the Bailey family. I can't interfere with the past, but stop it if the Godfrey family is involved." Theodore suddenly stopped laughing, but the viciousness in his tone was very clear.
