Said I didn’t Love Him But I Lied

“Mommy, why are you here so early?” Adrienne ran over and hugged her.

Theodore and Alastair sat on the sofa, looking through some documents. They weren’t surprised that she was there.

Everleigh looked at all the things on the table and chuckled, “Shouldn’t you two be going to school?”

“It’s still early,” Theodore replied. He then ordered the servants to bring in some tea.

Ever since the last time they visited his house, he had been instructing his servants to prepare tea, and it consistently tasted good.

As a result, he only had coffee and tea at home, but nothing else.

He was just worried that there would be nothing they liked to drink when they came over.

“Let’s have a meal with the Trevino family on Sunday.” Everleigh took a sip of tea and said.

Theodore’s hands that were holding a document suddenly trembled. His eyes were filled with excitement. “Really?”

“My father just gave me a call and said that Jorben might be joining on Sunday too.” As Everleigh talked about him, her head hurt again.

Theodore didn’t care about anyone else who would be joining. He was desperate to go to the Trevino family’s home again.NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

He could finally walk through the door justly and honorably.

The day passed in the blink of an eye. Everleigh went to the Jenkins family home, as Missha would be leaving the next day. She might not be able to send her off at the airport, so she had to meet her.

Because Missha was leaving in a day, Yeezoo and Luqman all came to see her off. Perhaps it was because of the incident a few days ago, but everyone was fine with Everleigh being there.

Everyone ate dinner quietly, minding their own business.

Suddenly, Cynthia asked, “Aunt Missha, what time is your flight tomorrow?”

“It’s six o’clock in the morning. There are a lot of things happening in the company, so I have to go back earlier,” Missha answered in her usual tone, as if nothing had ever happened between her and Cynthia.

“I’ll send you off.”

“No need, you can’t wake up,” Missha refused directly.

Everleigh, who was sitting aside, almost burst out in laughter. She knew Cynthia well. She would still be dreaming at six o’clock.

After hearing Missha’s response, Cynthia felt a little embarrassed.

Melissa was rather observant. She chuckled softly and tried to defend her, “Cynthia just wants to show her love for you.”

“I know that she loves me, so there’s no need to do or say anything else. My only wish is for all of you to live happily and harmoniously.” Missha’s words seemed to have a hidden meaning.

Melissa and Yeezoo looked at each other, and neither of them spoke.

However, Saniogo let out a sneer. He had been turning a blind eye to them for so many years. It wasn’t that he didn’t see their little tricks. It was just that they were all brothers, so he chose not to expose them.

However, if their actions really threatened Jenkins Group, then he would have no other choice.

Yeezoo finally learned to act smart. Even though he wasn’t pleased, he didn’t say anything to cause any trouble in front of everyone. He didn’t want to bring shame on himself.

After she finished eating, Everleigh went back to her room. She took out the medical book that she borrowed from the library and immersed herself in it. She was so focused that she didn’t even know that Missha came in.

“What are you reading? You look so engrossed in it.” Missha stood beside her and glanced at the book in her hands.

Everleigh raised her head and looked at the pair of eyes that were filled with mixed emotions.

“Aunt Missha.”

“Am I disturbing you?”

“No, I’m just feeling bored. Have they all left?” The only reason Everleigh stayed in her room was because she didn’t want to hear them talk, especially Yeezoo. His words were full of lies.

Missha understood her thoughts and said with a smile, “Luqman and Yeezo are just like that; just ignore them. After all, not everyone can get along with each other well. Am I right?”

“Since you know what I’m thinking about, why are you still asking me?” Everleigh smiled as she put down the book in her hands.

Missha then sat next to her and continued saying, “I also know that you have children. Why didn’t you tell me about such a big thing earlier?”

“They’re still young, plus Cynthia and the others don’t really like them, so I didn’t bring them along. The next time you come back, I’ll definitely bring them to meet you,” Everleigh explained half of the reasons, as the biggest reason was still Missha.

Missha looked at her silently, and finally said after a long while, “I must really meet them next time. What do the kids like? Tell me, I’ll prepare them some nice presents.”

“Aunt Missha, it’s okay. The gift that you’ve given me is already very nice. I know that the crystal is incredibly expensive,” Everleigh refused. The gemstone was already extravagant. If she gave her another valuable gift, she wouldn’t accept it anymore.

Missha smiled without saying a word; she didn’t mind at all. Since Everleigh wouldn’t tell her, she decided to ask Saniogo what the kids liked. He would know.

The next morning, when Missha left, only Saniogo and Alexander went to send her off. Everleigh wanted to follow too, but when she called them, the plane had already taken off.

“Uncle, why didn’t you inform me?”

“Your aunt doesn’t like to be sent off, if not she wouldn’t have refused Cynthia.” Saniogo knew that Everleigh was genuinely kind and caring.

However, Missha’s personality was just too peculiar.

They had been siblings for decades, so he was already accustomed to it.

Everleigh was helpless as well. Since Missha had already left, there was no point in talking about it anymore.

She could only wait for her to return in the future.

At the hospital, Christopher’s eyes were red out of tiredness. He yawned and leaned back in his chair. “You’re finally back. I’m exhausted.”

“I’m so sorry. I can take over your shift today if you want.” She had told him that she needed to send Missha off, so she asked him to help her out with the shift.

“It’s alright. If there’s nothing else, I want to go back and rest now. I’m really sleepy,” he said as he got up. He then went back to his office to have a rest.

As Everleigh walked out of a ward after a checkup, she saw a patient walking over, and she was rushing directly towards her in a rage.

“Excuse me…” Before Everleigh could finish her question, she was slapped in the face by the enraged patient.

“F*ck you, doctor!  How did you treat my husband?”

“Your husband?” Everleigh covered her face. She had been used to patients causing scenes at the hospital, and had even experienced situations worse than that.

“Yes! Didn’t you previously diagnose my husband with cirrhosis? But now, he’s got a lung disease. You fake doctor, are you sure you know how to treat a patient?” The woman’s sharp shriek spread throughout the entire corridor. All the other patients heard it and went out of their wards to look at the situation.

Everleigh sneered, “What’s your husband’s name?”

“Lavish Carter.”

“On what date and at what time was he admitted to the hospital? Which ward is he in?” Everleigh asked.

The woman answered without hesitation, “On the 19th, in the morning, room 309.”

Everleigh chuckled as she heard her response, “Are you sure that I’m the doctor who handled him?”

“Yes, I’m a hundred percent sure.”

“Okay, sue me then. I’ll be waiting for your letter.” Everleigh turned around and was about to return to her office.

Seeing that Everleigh was so undisturbed, the woman was rather puzzled, but she wasn’t planning to let the matter go. “Stop right there. What kind of attitude is this? You’ve messed up my husband’s treatment, and now you’re showing me this kind of attitude? You really are a fraud!”

Everleigh paused for a moment after listening to her. She then turned around and gave her a cold gaze. “Since you’re so sure that it’s me, why are you causing a scene right here? Why don’t you just head down to the office and lodge a complaint? Madam, let me remind you, even if you amplify the whole matter, I won’t be afraid. Of course, you’ll have to bear all the consequences.”

When the woman saw Everleigh’s cold eyes, a thought flashed through her mind, and she switched back to her angry expression.

“Don’t try to scare me with your words. Do you really think I’ll let you go just like that? Just wait and see!”
