Deep Love Hidden From Him

Chapter 480

Cecil thought for a while and asked, "Do you need my younger brother's help? He's good at doing things like this."

Everleigh remembered Thaud, the cold- faced young man. As a lawyer, he showed everyone the same cold face.

After thinking about it carefully, she decided not to accept her offer. After all, he was vastly different from Lenold.

She would rather ask for Lenold's help than to accept Thaud's aid.

"It's okay. It's a family matter after all. I don't want others to be involved in it. Even though Thaud isn't an outsider, I still think it's unnecessary."

Cecil agreed with Everleigh.

She didn't want to bring more shame on the Jenkins family. Lending a helping hand would only make them more humiliated.

After lunch, the two of them separated. Before Everleigh left, Cecil reminded her, "Call me if you need any help. Don't burden yourself too much."

"Got it. You should be careful too, don't get set up by your sister."

Cecil smiled and left. She wasn't that weak.

When Everleigh went to Theodore's company, he was looking at the sales report of the machines. Because the machine's efficiency was high, many hospitals had placed orders for it. It was really a good start for the company.

"Why are you smiling like that? What are you looking at? " When she entered his office, the first thing she saw was his wide smile.

"Take a seat, I want to show you something." He then handed her the file in his hand.

She took a look at it. The profit margin that month was relatively high. "It seems that our new product is doing good."

"Yes, and it's all thanks to you," he praised her generously.

She then put down the file and looked at him. "Actually, I'm here to take a rest."

"Go over there and lie down. It can help you relax." He pointed at the reclining chair at the corner.

He bought it to take short naps, and Everleigh was in luck as she could rest for a while.

She didn't refuse and fell asleep directly on it.

She laid there for hours until the night had fallen, but hadn't woken up yet. Theodore walked over to wake her up and ask her to eat dinner.

Unexpectedly, he saw that her face was flushed, and she was panting.

He immediately sensed that something was wrong. "Everleigh!"

"Theodore, I'm not feeling well..." She said weakly. She knew that she was having a fever.

However, she couldn't move as her body was sore, and she had lost her strength.

"HI go buy you some medicine." He frowned as he touched her hot forehead. He knew what had happened to her.

He bought her some medicine, and she fell asleep after taking it. She had been having cold flashes for the past few days, but she didn't pay much attention to it as there were simply too many things that she had to deal with. She wanted to have a short rest that day, but unfortunately, she fell sick due to fatigue.

She knew that she was dealing with too much pressure.

He didn't leave. Instead, he bought her some hot soup and iced water, and took care of her for the whole night.

Everleigh was semi-conscious for the whole night. She finally opened her eyes after the sun had risen. When she turned around, she saw Theodore sleeping. He was supporting his head with one arm while leaning against the sofa. Looking around the room, she was touched by his actions.

"Theodore."

When he heard her voice, he opened his eyes slowly. He clearly didn't sleep well as his eyes were filled with red veins, and his gaze wasn't as energetic as usual.

"Are you hungry? You haven't eaten anything since yesterday," he said as he glanced at the cold soup on the table. He wanted to heat it up in the microwave.

She shook her head. "I'm not hungry, I'm just a little dizzy. Can you call Christopher and ask him to bring me medicine?"

She didn't have the energy to go to the hospital, so she'd rather administer IV fluid in the office.

He nodded. After he made the call, he heated up the soup.

"Drink some soup, or else you'll have gastric pain."

She nodded. If she didn't eat anything, she would be even weaker.

As she was about to finish her soup, Christopher arrived with the medicine. Looking at Everleigh's pale face, he said, "You're really unlucky. Your sister even called me last night to ask about you." "I came here yesterday afternoon. I was too tired and fell asleep. The next thing I know, I got a fever," she explained.

Christopher said while holding the medicine, "You've been working too hard lately. Actually, you don't have to worry too much about the incident."

They all knew why Everleigh had fallen sick.

Theodore turned his head and looked at her in sympathy. "Everleigh, we'll continue investigating this matter. Please don't wear yourself out, okay?"

"I understand. As I've said before, you won't feel the pain unless you experience it yourself," she responded in a weak voice.

Christopher and Theodore both fell silent as what she had said was right.

She fell asleep shortly after getting an injection. Theodore and Christopher looked at each other. Then, they sat on the sofa, drank some coffee and remained silent.

After a long while, Christopher finally said, "My men have already investigated, and most of the evidence is pointing to Saniogo."

"Same here," Theodore replied in a deep voice. His eyes were filled with coldness.

He didn't tell Everleigh about it as he didn't want her to be sad. It seemed that his decision was right.

"Let's continue checking. If there's really something wrong, we can talk about it anytime." Christopher sighed. He then put down his cup and left.

Now that Everleigh had fallen ill, he would have to handle all the work at the hospital alone.

Theodore sat on the sofa and was lost in his thoughts. It wasn't until the afternoon that Everleigh finally woke up. She felt much better.

Her stomach was growling too. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

She looked at the bland soup on the table and had no appetite at all.

She raised her head and requested pitifully, "Can I please have some pizza and pickles? This food is tasteless."

He chuckled when he heard her words. "Drink some water first. I'll buy it for you in a while."

If she was craving for food, it meant that she was getting better.

Everleigh nodded. It didn't take long for Moses to enter the room with bags of food in his hands. She was drooling. The delicious food had finally satisfied her cravings.

In the evening, she felt so much better. "Theodore, how's your investigation going?"

His face darkened. "There isn't much progress yet.

We'll be able to confirm it in a few days."

She raised her head and looked at his face with a bitter smile. "Theodore, you look really ugly when you're lying."

"I don't care if I'm ugly. It's good that you understand my intentions."

She took a deep breath, and her emotions became even more complicated.

Then, he sent her back home. Alastair and Adrienne had been waiting for her at the door. They were extremely worried as she didn't return home the whole night.

"They really care for you." Looking at Alastair and Adrienne's anxious expressions, Theodore's tone was full of joy.

When Everleigh got out of the car, Adrienne ran over and hugged her legs. "Mommy, are you feeling better?"

"I'm feeling much better. Why are you two here?" Everleigh asked as she looked into the house.

There wasn't anyone else at the door besides the guards.

"We called Uncle Christopher and found out that you fell sick, so we waited here for you. Don't worry Mommy, Grandpa and Aunt Selena aren't at home," Alastair explained.

Everleigh nodded and felt at ease. She knew that Abraham was very worried about her as she didn't return home the night before.

Fortunately, he wasn't at home.

"Daddy, why are you here? Come inside!" Adrienne exclaimed as she saw Theodore walking over from the other side.

Then, she walked over to hold his legs too. She raised her head and showed him a big smile.
