Said I didn’t Love Him But I Lied

Theodore liked his current life because he had the ability to protect Everleigh. No one would be able to bully her like before.

She sighed softly, “Alas… Life is good, but it’s bitter as well. If there’s a choice, I don’t want to have a next life.”

Her words came from her heart. She was struggling to press on after everything that had happened over the years.

She didn’t want to have another life. One life was more than enough for her.

“Don’t be so superstitious and talk about these myths,” he responded unhappily.

What would he do in the next life if she wasn’t there with him?

He wanted to be with her until the end of time.

She smiled faintly. “It’s not a myth. I think that my words do make sense.”

“Nah, your words don’t make sense at all. In my opinion, love conquers all,” he replied.

She gave him a disdainful look. “Can you not be so disgusting?”

“It’s not disgusting. Tell me then, if love doesn’t conquer all, what is the actual purpose of life?”

She was lost for words. His twisted theory was illogical and bewildering.

The two of them then walked quietly along the street, watching everyone else enjoy their nightlives. When they reached the corner of the street, he called Moses to pick them up.

Then, they went straight back to his villa.

Speaking of which, Everleigh hadn’t been there for a really long time. The previous time she went there was when Theodore had an accident.

“Are you tired?”

“I’m not tired. I haven’t done anything today.” It was true, she didn’t do a single thing the whole day.

After thinking for a while, he played a film. It was a comedy movie. The two of them sat on the sofa and watched it.

“When did you buy all these gadgets?”

“I prepared them for Adrienne. She told me that she likes watching cartoons, so I set up this home theatre,” he answered as he pressed the play button on the remote control.

The whole set-up reminded her of a cinema.

She never knew that he was so caring and warm-hearted.

The two of them then leaned against each other and enjoyed the movie. Halfway through the movie, she suddenly felt sleepy. Shortly after, snoring sounds could be heard.

He turned his head over, and his eyes were filled with doting love. He lifted her up gently and carried her all the way to his bedroom.

Everleigh seemed to be sleeping comfortably, so she curled up and fell into a deep sleep.

Theodore changed into a new set of pajamas and hugged her to sleep.

The night passed quickly.

When she opened her eyes and saw his handsome face right next to hers, she was instantly woken up. It took her a couple of seconds to finally realize what had happened.

She had been used to sleeping alone, so she felt rather uneasy to sleep with someone else.

Theodore opened his eyes all of a sudden and looked at the woman right next to him with shiny eyes. He smiled and spoke in a low, hoarse voice, “Good morning.”

“Good morning.” Everleigh’s cheeks turned slightly red.

He knew that she was shy, and revealed a faint smile. He liked that kind of feeling very much. He really wanted to wake up to his loved one by his side every single morning.

The two of them then got out of bed. He prepared breakfast for her, while she sat at the dining table and waited for the food to be served.

“Let’s eat.” He served plates of food on the table. There were eggs, grilled sausages, toasts, and glasses of milk.

It was a standard western breakfast.

“Where are the servants?”

“I let all of them take the day off. It’s rare for us to be together, I don’t want anyone to ruin our precious, wonderful time,” he explained truthfully.

She was speechless. When did he learn to say such corny words? She pondered.

However, he felt that it was normal.

The two of them enjoyed breakfast quietly, like a loving married couple living together.

Suddenly, Theodore’s phone rang. It was from Moses. “What’s the matter?”

“Mr. Godfrey, Mr. Xavier was involved in a car accident, and he’s now in the city hospital,” Moses said anxiously.

Theodore was startled, and he subconsciously looked over at Everleigh.

She received a call from Christopher at the same time. “Hello?”

“Everleigh, come over to the hospital right now. Xavier was involved in a car accident.”

“I’m on my way,” she responded in a deep voice as she raised her head to look at Theodore. Judging from his expression, he must’ve received the news too.

Next, the two of them rushed to the hospital. When they arrived, they saw Christopher standing outside the operating theatre.

“Christopher, who’s inside right now?” Everleigh asked.Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

“It’s Dr. Harrison. Don’t worry,” he answered solemnly.

Theodore looked at him and asked, “When did it happen?”

“Roughly around three o’clock this morning. He was thrown out of his vehicle. The police only managed to find him half an hour later. The surgery has been going on for a long time now, but they haven’t come out yet.”

“What about Sean?” Theodore continued asking.

“He’s pronounced dead.” Christopher didn’t know who Sean was, but he knew that someone else was in the car with Xavier, and had died on the spot.

Everleigh and Theodore trembled, and their faces were filled with disbelief.

They both had the same question in mind. If Xavier wasn’t thrown out of the car, would he have died too?

Looking at their expressions, Christopher knew what they were thinking about. Xavier was incredibly lucky to have survived the horrific accident.

The three of them all fell silent.

There was nothing else they could do besides waiting for the surgery to end.

Finally, the light at the door of the operating room went off and Maxwell walked out. “Dr. Harrison, how’s the patient?” Everleigh walked forward and asked.

“The patient is no longer in any danger, but is currently unconscious due to a serious head injury. The only thing that can wake him up from the coma is his own will and determination. Despite this, I can see that he has a strong will to survive, so do talk to him more often…” Maxwell finished his sentence abruptly and looked at her.

Her face became gloomy. She knew what they had to do next.

At that moment, Xavier was pushed out of the room. Theodore walked over to him and held his hand. His eyes revealed a flash of grief and sorrow.

He knew all along that Xavier had been feeling low-spirited and unmotivated ever since he lost his ability to walk. He also felt all the resentment he had in his heart.

However, he had never expected him to end up in such a bad situation.

“Everleigh, please help me take care of him,” Theodore suddenly requested in a deep voice.

She turned over and glanced at his eyes that were full of rage, and immediately knew what he wanted to do.

“Okay, I’ll take good care of him.”

Then, Theodore turned around and left.

Christopher watched as he left. His entire body was giving off a murderous feeling. It was obvious that he was going to look for someone to get even with them.

“Is he going to confront Wilson?” Christopher was curious.

“No, he’s going to the police station to help with the investigation,” she replied firmly. Theodore knew that he had to remain calm. He must look for solid evidence before he could accuse someone.

Christopher raised his eyebrows slightly. He was astonished by the fact that she knew Theodore so well.

Theodore had indeed gone to the police station. He wanted to know what exactly had happened.

“Mr. Godfrey, this is the surveillance footage that shows what happened during the accident.” The police officer then played a video on the monitor.
