Said I didn’t Love Him But I Lied

Everleigh glanced at Theodore and could vaguely sense his nervousness.

She believed that anyone would be nervous in such a situation.

“Daddy, I want to have some fruit juice.” Adrienne stretched her hand out, but she couldn’t reach the jug of juice.

He picked it up and wanted to pour her a glass, but ended up spilling it all over the table.

Everleigh struggled to keep a straight face.

“What are you doing?”

“Nothing, I must’ve been holding pens for too long lately,” he replied in a nonchalant expression, as he took out a napkin to wipe the table.

He was trying to cover up his embarrassment.

Abraham and Selena looked at each other, and decided not to expose him.

The meal was satisfactory, but they ordered too many dishes. Everleigh didn’t like to waste food, so she packed the leftovers up and brought them home.

Theodore sent her and the two children, while Selena took Abraham back to the Trevino family’s home.

“Why were you so nervous?”

“Well, it’s my first proper meeting with your family.” He looked ahead with a troubled expression, as he felt a little embarrassed.

She didn’t want to tease him anymore.

At the entrance of the Trevino family’s home, Abraham invited Theodore to go into the house. Theodore felt bad that he didn’t prepare any gifts, so he called Moses and asked him to buy some gifts and send them over.

“Don’t be so nervous. It’s not your first time here,” Abraham said coldly when he heard him on the phone.

Theodore hid the awkwardness in his eyes and responded softly, “But it’s my first proper visit, so I shouldn’t have come empty handed.”

Everleigh stood aside and didn’t care about them. After all, Theodore had his own ideas, and she couldn’t stop him from doing anything.

Shortly after, Moses entered the house with bags of gifts in his hands. Theodore didn’t know what he had bought, but he gave them everything anyway.

“Wow Daddy, you’ve bought so many things. Are there any of my favorite snacks?” Adrienne looked at the gift bags and wanted to open them.

Of course, he had bought something for her. Moses took some snacks out of a bag and passed them to her.

“Miss Adrienne, this is yours.”

“Thank you, Mr. Lawson,” she said politely. After that, she started eating them.

Theodore stayed there for the whole afternoon. If he hadn’t received a call from the company, he would’ve stayed there until evening.

“Mr. Godfrey, are we going back to the company?”

“Yes.” Theodore sat in the front passenger seat and looked at Everleigh who was waving at him not far away.

He was dying to finally live a good life with her family.

Although the Trevino family wasn’t a strong family, it wasn’t filled with hatred and deceptions, and the whole family lived together happily.

“Moses, when do you think I can finally live here?” Theodore stared at the Trevino family villa in a daze.

However, Moses was flabbergasted. “Mr. Godfrey, do you want to buy this property?”

Theodore’s hands clenched tightly when he heard his words. He had never mentioned buying the house.

“Hurry up and drive.” Theodore realized that he couldn’t talk to Moses, as his mind was totally incomprehensible.

The next day, Abraham was admitted to the hospital, and Everleigh was his doctor-in-charge. Christopher went to visit him as soon as he received the news. “Dad, why didn’t you tell me? I could’ve picked you up and sent you here.”

Everleigh sighed helplessly, “You can send him back when he’s discharged.”

“Okay, I’ll come and send you home then.”

Abraham was too embarrassed to meet Christopher. He just met Theodore the day before, and now, he was meeting Everleigh’s ‘legal husband’.

That kind of feeling was indescribable.

“Theodore accompanied us for my medical check-up yesterday,” Abraham suddenly mentioned out of nowhere. It was mainly because he felt bad for Christopher, and saying it out would perhaps help him feel better.

Christopher was a smart person. He knew what was in Abraham’s mind.

He let out a soft chuckle.

“Theodore really knows how to take advantage of opportunities. Everleigh, we haven’t divorced yet, and he’s already being so open.”

“Why don’t we get divorced now?” She joked.

He turned around and sneered. “Nah, I want to leave him hanging. I want him to feel anxious.”

She was lost for words. Why was Christopher so childish and petty? She couldn’t believe it.

However, Abraham had a different perception of his words. He felt that they were treating marriage like a joke.

Christopher stayed in the ward until noon, and Everleigh had to take care of other patients too, so she let Abraham rest alone.

When she arrived at Xavier’s ward, she peeked in. Christopher put his hands in his pockets and spoke in a gentle tone, “He was transferred to the general ward this morning, but Madison came. Once again, she caused a scene in the hospital.”

“Who paid for the expenses?”

She remembered that Theodore said he would no longer care about the matter. According to Madison’s personality, she would definitely pay for him with her own money.

Christopher didn’t understand what she meant. If Theodore didn’t pay for it, who else would?

“Come on, let’s go in and have a look.” Everleigh was worried about Xavier’s condition. As she entered the ward, she saw Madison resting on a bed while accompanying him. She only opened her eyes when she heard their footsteps.

Everleigh noticed that her eyes were pale yellow.

It seemed that her liver disease was getting worse.

“What are you doing in here?”

“I’m here to check on him,” Everleigh replied righteously. Then, she took out her stethoscope and wanted to give Xavier an examination.

However, before she reached her hand out, Madison stopped her. “What are you doing?”

“Are you trying to stop her?” Christopher questioned.

Xavier’s condition was already so critical, and yet Madison was still caring about her own dignity.

She glared at him coldly. “Shut up. I’m not talking to you.”

“Who else is qualified then? Let me tell you, the best doctor in treating heart diseases in this hospital is Everleigh. Are you sure you don’t want her to treat your son?”

Madison snorted coldly, “Don’t lie to me like that. Everleigh is still so young. How can she be better than Dr. Harrison?”

“You’d better believe him. When it comes to heart diseases, she is way better than me.” Suddenly, Maxwell’s voice sounded outside the ward.

Everyone in the room looked over and saw him walking in with a white coat.

Hearing that, Madison felt displeased. “Dr. Harrison, you’re an expert in this field. Are you really…”

“The medicine that this patient is using was formulated by her. What do you think?” Maxwell interrupted her.

There was a hint of pride in his tone.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

It seemed that the more successful Everleigh was, the prouder he would be.

Madison’s face darkened. She wasn’t convinced. She had the money to consult a better doctor, but the last doctor she would want to look for was Everleigh.

Unexpectedly, she was the best doctor there.

“You do not have my consent,” Madison said sternly.

Everleigh hung her stethoscope back around her neck and took a deep breath. “In that case, I won’t care anymore. Dr. Harrison, please sign the document and transfer Xavier to whichever hospital she wants.”

“Don’t you dare. I said I don’t trust you, but I didn’t say that I don’t trust this hospital.”

Everleigh let out a cold snort. If that was the case, she couldn’t care less about it.

She turned around and left directly.

Christopher followed her out too.
