Said I didn’t Love Him But I Lied

Saniogo glared at Missha and said, “You always act rashly whenever you see benefits. Didn’t you think about the problems of the land? How have you been managing the overseas company all this while?”

Was she out of her mind? If he could win the land, he would’ve joined the auction as well.

Since he had already known that it was a bad deal, why would he even bother participating in it?

It was understandable that Annie couldn’t see through the problems as she was still young and inexperienced, but how could Missha not realize it?

When Missha heard that, she suddenly thought of something, and didn’t continue talking about it.

Annie, on the other hand, was rather confused, but she was sure that there was something wrong.

Everleigh knew everything, but she wasn’t a fool. She would definitely not reveal the truth at that moment.

She didn’t want to look for more trouble for herself.

“Everleigh, it’s getting late now, why don’t you stay here for the night?” Saniogo suggested.

“I… ”

Missha added quickly, “Yeah, just spend the night here, and let your children come over after school tomorrow. I haven’t seen them yet.”

She was so focused on their conversation that she had forgotten that Everleigh had yet to go back home.

Everleigh chuckled lightly, “I don’t think I should stay here tonight, but I will definitely bring the kids over tomorrow. Someone had to replace my shift today, so I have to go back to the hospital.”

After hearing that, they didn’t insist on her staying anymore. When Alexander sent her back, she asked him, “What are you going to do about Annie? I can see that you don’t have feelings for her.”

“Everyone can see it, including you, except for Annie,” he looked ahead and sighed.Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

She raised her eyebrows slightly and joked, “How do you know she can’t see it?”

“So what if she can? If it wasn’t for the connection between the Jenkins family and the Lawson family, I wouldn’t have met Annie. She is a smart girl, but just a little bit slow, especially in terms of emotions,” he sighed helplessly. He had never liked Annie, but there was nothing he could do as she was from the Lawson family.

Hearing that, Everleigh said, “You have a woman in your heart, don’t you? Tell me, who is this smart and intelligent woman whom you have feelings for?”

She had studied psychology before, so she could read minds easily.

She was sure that Alexander liked someone.

Hearing that, a person appeared in his mind, but he soon dismissed the thought.

He thought that it was just his imagination running wild as he didn’t have enough rest.

Everleigh didn’t want to expose him. Perhaps he just wasn’t ready to reveal the person yet.

The next day, she went to the hospital to visit Xavier. She heard from the nurse that there was something abnormal with his heart screening results the night before, and his heartbeat had increased significantly.

When Everleigh checked on him, there wasn’t anything wrong. Just as she turned around and was about to leave, the beeping sound of the vital signs monitor started to speed up.

When she heard it, she examined Xavier’s condition hurriedly, and found that there was something not right with his heart.

“Send him to the operating room immediately and call Dr. Harrison. Hurry up.” Her face was serious, and her tone became stern.

She turned to the nurse and added, “Call Theodore and ask him to come over right now.”

“Sure… I’ll call him right away.” The nurse was anxious and panicking. She was worried that an accident would happen, and she wouldn’t be able to bear the responsibilities.

Maxwell and Christopher went into the operating theatre together, while Everleigh waited outside. It was mainly because she still wasn’t able to hold scalpels for too long, so could only wait for the operation to end outside.

“How’s everything?” Theodore rushed over and asked.

She shook her head. “He hasn’t come out yet, I’ve only found out about it when I was checking on him just now. Let me ask you, is there anyone in your family with genetic heart conditions?”

“Isn’t Hansen one of them?” He took a deep breath and answered in a low voice.

Besides Hansen, his grandmother had a heart condition as well.

Helen had a heart disease, and it was said to be a hereditary condition. For so many years, she had to rely on a ton of money to survive.

Despite this, she was still able to live to an old age.

“That’s right. Xavier has a genetic heart condition. If he hadn’t been laying still on bed, it wouldn’t have been discovered. Is this considered a blessing in disguise for him?” Everleigh concluded as she smiled bitterly while looking at the door of the operating room. The operation was yet to end.

A heart disease, especially a hidden one, was extremely dangerous. Who knew, he would suddenly die in his sleep one day.

All of a sudden, she felt very sorry for Xavier as his life was filled with miseries. His legs were disabled forever, and it took him a long time to get over it. Now, he was diagnosed with a heart condition.

She finally understood why he had become a gloomy and depressed person.

Anyone else wouldn’t have been able to bear the pain and suffering as well.

The two of them then sat on a bench and waited quietly.

They were waiting for the operation to end.

After a long time, the light outside the operating theatre was finally turned off. Maxwell and Christopher walked out, and Everleigh went forward to ask, “Dr. Harrison, how was the surgery?”

“The patient has acute myocardial infarction, and it will occur anytime. I’ve used your new medicine, and the only thing we can do right now is to wait for the results.

She nodded. “I will monitor his condition closely. Thank you, Dr. Harrison.”

“Silly, what are you talking about? It’s our duty as doctors to save lives, have you forgotten?”

“But Dr. Harrison, you’ve worked really hard, so I should express my gratitude to you,” she said, then glanced at Theodore. He was a proud person, so he rarely appreciated others’ efforts.

Hence, she decided to say thank you on his behalf.

By doing so, she was also saving his face.

Maxwell rolled his eyes. “You really know how to settle problems, don’t you? But it’s such a pity that you don’t have a proper status.”

She felt embarrassed, so she looked back at Theodore.

“Can’t you say something?”

“I wanted to say something, but you’ve said it all.” He acted innocent. Since she had said everything, there was no need for him to repeat it again.

She couldn’t blame him for that.

“Alright, alright, stop talking nonsense. Let’s go and check on him right now. These three days are incredibly crucial for his recovery.”

Maxwell didn’t care about appreciation and gratitude.

He had been used to it a long time ago.

Christopher looked at Theodore in disdain. “You don’t even care about your own brother, and even need someone else to speak on your behalf.”

“Everleigh and I are a family. It doesn’t matter who speaks,” Theodore responded coldly.

Christopher let out a cold snort. “Hmph, I should’ve killed him during the surgery just now.” After saying that, he left directly.

Everleigh knew that he wasn’t being serious; he was just angry.

Xavier was transferred straight to the ICU for close observation.

The two of them stood outside the ward and looked at him. Theodore’s gaze was a little dim, and his voice sounded haggard. “Will Xavier be alright?”

“Yes, he will.”

“Really?”

“Yes, nothing will happen to him as long as I’m here. Don’t worry.” Everleigh wasn’t lying. She was confident that he would be all right.

Fortunately, her new medicine was working just fine, if not, there was nothing else she could do about it.

When Theodore turned over and looked at the expression on her face, he actually felt at ease. “It’s the first time you’ve said something like that to me.”

“That’s because you’re always the person who bears all the pain.”
