Said I didn’t Love Him But I Lied

The door of the emergency room was pushed open. Theodore and Moses stood up hurriedly and asked, “How’s the patient?”

“He’s no longer in danger. Wasn’t he fine before this? Why did he suddenly have an allergic reaction?” Everleigh pulled down her mask and asked in puzzlement.

Theodore didn’t answer her question. He didn’t understand anything about medicine. After all, he was only good at doing business, not producing medicines.

After Everleigh asked the question, she looked helpless as well. Her question was really unanswerable.

How would he know anything about the medicine?

“Now that he’s fine, I’m going over to the company to check if there’s anything wrong with it.”

“I’ll go with you.” Theodore was there for the same reason, so he wanted to examine the medicine production with her.

Because he was a layman, even if he went to the lab alone, he wouldn’t know what was going on there, so he could only ask her to go and have a look together.

The two of them arrived at the pharmaceutical factory. All the workers were still busy working. When they saw the two of them there, they all stopped what they were doing.

Everleigh changed her clothes and went into the control room. She examined the medicine carefully.

“Miss Trevino, Mr. Godfrey, is there something wrong?” The factory manager, Yevin Lawson, came over quickly and asked.

She didn’t answer him, but continued inspecting the batches of medicine produced.

Theodore glanced at Yevin and asked in a low voice, “Has anyone else been here recently?”

“This is a restricted area. No one else besides the workers is allowed to enter.”

“Is that so?” Theodore asked coldly.

Yevin wiped off the cold sweat on his forehead. “Yes… No one has been here…”

He was praying hard in his heart. Mr. Godfrey’s gaze was really sharp.

Everleigh put down the medicine and said in a deep voice, “There’s nothing wrong with the medicine. Let’s go and take a look at the storage room.”

“Okay.” Theodore nodded in response, and exited the control room with her. After they had left, Yevin heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. It would be better for Theodore to visit less in the future, he thought.

Everleigh and Theodore walked side by side. His strong aura made the entire factory feel cold. She walked to the storage room. Everything inside seemed tidy and in order. She didn’t find anything odd.

“Could there really be something wrong with his health?”

“I’ll continue to investigate this matter. You don’t have to worry too much about it. Just focus on your research. Leave this to me.”

Her brows knitted. She had a bad feeling about it.

He knew her concern. The company had just started operating, so something bad happening at this time wasn’t a good sign for the company.

What a terrible start…

“Hmm…” Before she could finish responding, she received a call from Maxwell.

“Hello, Dr. Harrison, what’s the matter?”

…

“What did you just say? When did it happen?”

…

“Alright, I’ll be back right away,” she said anxiously. Her face turned pale.

Not knowing what they were talking about on the phone, Theodore asked hurriedly, “What happened?”

“The patient with the allergy passed away,” she answered solemnly.

His face stiffened, and his eyes flashed. After a short while, he finally reacted. “Let’s go to the hospital and have a look.”

They returned to the hospital. Before they could even walk in, they were surrounded by news reporters, blocking the entrance.

“Are these people here for the volunteer who has just died?” She looked at the reporters; there were tons of them.

“Let’s go in from the back door.” He turned the car around and headed straight for the back door of the hospital. They finally entered.

They came to the ward. Benedict, Maxwell, Stainley, and a few other nurses were there.

“Everleigh.” Stainley called out, with a dispirited look on his face.

She walked over and looked at the volunteer who was no longer breathing. He looked calm and peaceful.

“When did he die?”

“Shortly after he was transferred here. The nurses discovered that his heart stopped when they came to check on him,” Maxwell responded.

“Did you find out the cause of death? Wasn’t he just fine when we came out of the emergency room?” Everleigh asked.

Maxwell frowned. His wrinkles deepened, especially the ones at the corners of his eyes.

“Everleigh, this is something normal during medicine trials. Anything can happen, and there’s nothing we can do about it. Sometimes, we just can’t come up with a solution in time.”

She understood his words, but it was really shocking to find out that the patient had died so suddenly.

“The volunteer did sign an agreement, right? Compensating for his loss is not a problem. The hard part now is to deal with the reporters waiting outside.” Benedict had been silent the whole time, thinking about a way to deal with the media.

Everleigh and Theodore looked at each other tacitly. They were absolutely right. Those reporters were really there for the incident.

But, who informed them about it? Such news wasn’t allowed to be leaked out.

“I’ll take care of this. This experimental product belongs to my company, so I should face the media,” Theodore said in his deep voice as he turned around and left.

The few others followed behind him. When the reporters saw Theodore standing at the entrance of the hospital, they rushed forward and started bombarding him with questions.

“Mr. Godfrey, do you have anything to say regarding your company’s new medicine?”

“Mr. Godfrey, now that the volunteer is dead, how are you going to compensate the family?”

“Mr. Godfrey, the public is now describing Everleigh Trevino as a cold-blooded doctor as the medicine she produced has taken a man’s life. Will your company be shut down?”NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

Theodore’s gaze turned fierce, and all the reporters shut their mouths immediately. Everyone knew that he was ruthless. In the past, there was a reporter who asked him a sensitive question, and the news company was forced to shut down not long after.

The story of that company had become a warning and example for all the other companies.

He stared at the female reporter who had just asked him the question. “Cold-blooded doctor? Is this the type of question I should expect from news media agencies?”

The female reporter trembled all over and lowered her head, not daring to look him in the eyes.

“In the field of medicine, accidents usually happen during the development of new medicines. Now that an unfortunate accident has happened, you’re just trying to make a big deal about it. Why did none of you come out to demand justice when such incidents happened in the past?” Theodore’s words were basically mocking and ridiculing them.

The reporters were unhappy, but they didn’t dare to speak.

“I’ll make a statement regarding this matter after everything is made clear.”

Now that the incident had blown up, there was no doubt that he would need to provide an explanation to the public.

Though, the most important thing was to give the government an explanation.

“Mr. Godfrey, are you implying that there is something behind this occurrence?” One of the reporters asked.

“There’s certainly a reason behind everything, including this one.” Theodore’s cold voice rang out. His answer was rather ambiguous, making it hard for others to understand.

It was hard for people to guess whether it was really his fault, or was there something else hidden behind it.

After that, he walked straight back into the hospital.

The security guards blocked the entrance, preventing the reporters from entering.
