Deep Love Hidden From Him

Chapter 555

A chortle escaped from Theodore. He held her hand and asked, "Isn't that so? We've experienced life and death now, and we've even had our children and met each other's parents. When are you going to marry me?"

Everleigh was stunned by his words. She paused for a few seconds before she laughed. "Theodore, you have to prepare a marriage proposal for me to marry you. Besides, can't you tell your parents' attitude towards me?"

Her words were not what he wanted to hear.

He knew that his parents treated her poorly and had even tried to frame her. If it wasn't for her mental and emotional strength, he was afraid that something would have gone wrong a long time ago.

"I'm sorry that my family has not been good to you." His face was riddled with guilt.

It was good enough that she was willing to forgive him. He couldn't ask for more.

Realizing that she had said something wrong, she quickly added, "Actually, your family is not the main reason. I mean, think about it, you proposed in a hospital. I'm not asking for the most romantic proposal ever, but the least you can do is to prepare an engagement ring and flowers. Have you ticked any of the items?"

His eyes lit up as he heard her question. "I have..."

"What do you have?" She looked at him with an amused expression.

They all came in such a hurry. It was impossible for him to have prepared a ring.

He hesitated. After thinking for a moment, he promised, "Don't worry. The wedding won't be too bad. Just wait and see."

She smiled slightly. No matter the reason, his intentions were good. In addition, it was not the right time to get married now. The Godfrey family had encountered a heap of problems, including her parents' issue. In short, troubles were coming one after another.

"We'll talk about it when everything is settled."

"Never mind, let's not talk about this and go back to the hotel. Both of their families are around. It's not appropriate for us to join them."

Theodore had the same thinking. It was better to rest early and adjust to the time difference.

Everleigh slept soundly that night. She was so tired as she hadn't had a good rest in the afternoon.

After a quiet night, she brought food to the hospital in the morning.

She went to see Alexander. Cecil was not around, and Missha was the only one here.

Aunt Missha, did you stay the whole night?"

"Yeah. There is nothing much going on in the company. I'll be alone if I go back, so I thought that it's a good idea to stay here to accompany Alexander." Missha nodded, dark circles around her eyes. Obviously, she hadn't had any rest.

Everleigh gave her the things she had bought and said, "Eat something. I'll go and visit Lenold."

"How is he?"

"It's mostly severe skin trauma. Fortunately, his years of being in the army and the physical training has benefited him a lot. His physique is better than any ordinary people," Everleigh explained.

Alexander nodded. "Good to hearthat."

Cecil was not overly worried.

At this moment, the Hayes family members were all gathered in Lenold's ward. Felicia had taken Samuel to rest.

She left them to have more space.

Seeing what had happened to his son was akin to a stab to Jaseh's heart.

"Lenold, what happened to you?"

"Dad, it's Diana. She kidnapped Lenold on purpose to take over his shares. Once his shares were transferred, she wanted to kill him so that everyone would assume that he was sacrificed in the mission." Cecil had realized this when the fire was ignited.

This was also part of the reason why Diana hadn't killed Lenold. After all, there were a lot of documents that needed to be signed by him.

Upon hearing it, Jaseh was incensed. Diana didn't know the first thing about gratitude and dared to hurt others.

"Where is she?"

"She ran away. It'll be more difficult to find her this time around." With the help of the Jenkins family, Cecil was able to track down Diana. Now that something had happened, it was hard to say where she would go.

Winifred was also upset. "No matter what, Diana must be found. I won't tolerate someone who has hurt my son."

She'd objected to adopting Diana back then, but she'd gone along with Jaseh, who was determined.

She didn't expect that the girl would turn into such an ungrateful person after raising her for so many

years.

"I've already gotten Lenold's shares back, but a part of it has been taken away by Diana," Thaud said in a deep voice. He had not discovered her schemes soon enough. When he took action, it was too late.

Lenold was on his bed, brows knitting when he heard what Thaud said. He didn't expect that his sister, whom he loved for so many years, would do such a thing.

It was heart-breaking.

"I've already sent people to look for her. Hopefully they can track her down." Cecil sighed helplessly. Money was not the issue at that moment. The most important thing was that they were now safe and sound.

Otherwise, she would not be at ease for the rest of her life.

"By the way, didn't you mention that the Jenkins family saved you all? Where are they?" Jaseh almost forgot about their savior. He couldn't help but ask.

"In the ward downstairs. I'll take you there," Cecil replied. She brought Jaseh and Thaud to visit Alexander.

Winifred, on the other hand, stayed behind to take care of Lenold.

When the three of them entered, they saw Everleigh.

"When did you arrive? Have you eaten?" Cecil asked her, thinking why didn't she meet up with her when she'd arrived.

"I was thinking to visit Lenold later and wanted to pass some snacks to Aunt Missha."

"Mr. Jenkins, thank you for saving my son." Jaseh walked over to the bed and looked at him, gratitude eclipsing his face.

The Hayes family would remember this for the rest of their lives. NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

Alexander felt guilty when he saw his formality. If only Jaseh knew that what he had done was all for Cecil's sake.

"Mr. Hayes, you're too polite. I was..."

"Mr. Jenkins, everyone in my family will remember your kindness. In the future, if there's any favor that the Jenkins family needs help with, my family will do our best to fulfill." Jaseh assumed that the Jenkins family would prioritise their interests, mainly because they were in the business industry.

The Hayes family was also in the business industry, but most of them worked for the government. They could not compete with the Jenkins family.

However... The Hayes family was involved in all multiple fields.

Listening to what Jaseh had offered, Alexander didn't know what to reply. He was debating on whether to bring up the idea of marrying Cecil.

"Dad, don't say such a thing." Cecil couldn't bear it anymore. She believed that Alexander didn't save them for the intention of gaining a favor from the Hayes family, but rather because he didn't want her to be sad.

"Cecil, don't lose your manners. No matter what, he is still our benefactor," Jaseh scolded her with a frown. She felt helpless.

She couldn't understand why her father wouldn't allow Alexander to finish his words.

Everleigh couldn't hold on to her laughter when she saw the situation. Alexander's rescue had gone down the drain now that it had been denied by them.

It was true that he had become a benefactor, but more than that, he coveted the position of the son- in-law of the Hayes family.

"Mr. Hayes, you don't have to say that. Cecil and I are also friends. If she's in trouble, I couldn't just ignore her. Thus, you don't have to say such words." Though Alexander wanted to express his feelings, he might be considered as harboring evil

intentions had he mentioned it.

Hearing this, Jaseh was moved and believed that Alexander was a fine man.

When Everleigh and Theodore saw what had happened, they broke out laughing.
