Said I didn’t Love Him But I Lied

“Everleigh, come to the hospital right now. Xavier just had a heart attack.” Maxwell’s hoarse voice sounded. There was a hint of anxiety in his tone.

She felt dizzy. Then, her first reaction was to ask, “Where’s Madison?”

“She’s here too. The problem is I’m not too sure about your medicine’s prescription, so you’d better come into the operating theatre with me. Besides… This woman is really irritating.”

He didn’t talk about what Madison had done, but he was obviously angry with her.

She understood his meaning. Without any delay, she put on her work clothes and rushed to the hospital.

As soon as she arrived at the hospital, she heard Madison crying as if Xavier had died.

Everleigh entered the hallway and saw her sitting on a chair sobbing while Maxwell stood aside.

“Dr. Harrison,” she called out, and didn’t even bother to glance at Madison.

“What are you doing here?” Madison’s eyes turned red when she saw Everleigh. It seemed that she wanted to tear her apart.

Everleigh looked down at her and said, “Do you think I want to show up? It was Dr. Harrison who asked me to come here.”

“Madam Allen, the only thing we can do right now is to let Everleigh go in with me. Dr. Andrews won’t be able to hold on any longer. Please make the decision now.” Maxwell’s expression was cold, as if he was forcing her to agree.

Madison hated Everleigh’s guts; how could she possibly agree?

“No way, anyone except her.” Madison was persistent, and she glared at Everleigh with her red eyes.

Upon hearing that, Maxwell let out a soft sigh, as a smirk appeared on his face.

Everleigh didn’t take it to heart. She turned around and stared at Madison. “If that’s the case, I’ll go back now. Anyways, it’s your son who’s about to die, not mine. Why do I have to care so much?” After saying that, she turned around and looked at Maxwell. “You can go in now, since the patient’s mother doesn’t want me to help, there’s nothing much I can do.”

“That’s our only choice now.” He sighed, turned around, and walked into the operating room.

Everleigh didn’t hesitate and walked straight over to the exit.

She was woken up from a deep sleep in the middle of the night, and even had to meet someone like Madison.

Hearing Everleigh’s words, Madison’s heart sank. What if Xavier really died? What would she do? Her mind was filled with questions.

“Wait. Fine, I consent to it,” Madison agreed unwillingly.

Everleigh and Maxwell both stopped, and turned to look at her.

Everleigh let out a laugh, “Madam Allen, who do you think you are? Do you think I will save him just because you said so? Are you ordering me right now?”

Madison became furious in an instant and shouted, “What else do you want me to do?”

“Madam Allen, due to your terrible attitude earlier on, I have serious doubts about your personality. If you want me to help, you should behave in a proper way.” Everleigh finally understood Maxwell’s intentions.

He wanted Madison to say please to her in person. Furthermore, he also hoped that she could follow up on Xavier’s condition to prevent anything else from happening.

After all, she had the medical skills, and was the one who had developed the new medicines.

When she raised her head to look at Maxwell, he was still smiling. Hence, she was even more convinced that her assumption was true.

She felt really helpless. He was already so old, but he was still acting like a petty little kid.

Madison’s face turned red in anger, and she couldn’t utter a single word for a long moment.

Everleigh wasn’t in a hurry, and she couldn’t help but laugh, “What’s the matter? Did I say something wrong?”

“As a doctor, where are your ethics and professionalism?” Madison retorted.

Everleigh stared at her with contempt. “Ethics? Professionalism? My ethics are meant for those who are grateful to me, but you’re not. Think about what you’ve done to me for so many years. Do you need me to list them out one by one?”NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

Madison’s eyes widened all of a sudden. It was only at that moment that she truly realized that the last person whom she would want to offend was a doctor. It was normal for a person to fall sick, but the person she despised the most was a doctor.

To her surprise, the person she cherished the most was now in the hands of the person she hated the most.

“Everleigh, are you really going to turn a blind eye and let him die?”

“Who said so? My request is very simple. I just want you to apologize to me sincerely. Listen clearly, apologize wholeheartedly for everything that you have done over the years. It isn’t that difficult, is it?” Everleigh’s request wasn’t difficult; all she wanted was an apology.

Hearing that, Madison gritted her teeth and responded, “In your dreams.”

“Really? Then I’ll continue dreaming. This patient’s death will have nothing to do with me anyways.” Everleigh’s words were like swords that stabbed directly into Madison’s heart.

It made her feel like she was suffocating. She didn’t know if it was because she was enraged, or because of Everleigh’s provocation.

Everleigh waited calmly for her answer.

Maxwell stood aside and looked at them with his arms crossed.

He was not anxious at all either.

He didn’t know about Everleigh’s past, but he believed in his student. She wasn’t a cruel and heartless person, but her hatred for Madison made him suspect if she was the reason Everleigh had chosen to leave back then.

“Everleigh, if you do this, do you think Theodore will ever forgive you?”

“What does this have to do with Theodore? He knew that Xavier might die at any time, and I’m his doctor. I’m the one who will report his cause of death. If you’re unhappy with it, feel free to tell him about this. Let’s see if he’ll believe you or me,” Everleigh threatened her confidently.

It was time for Madison to understand how it actually felt to be threatened by someone else.

The Trevino family wasn’t as wealthy as the Godfrey family because they had long been oppressed by them. Otherwise, they would’ve been much more influential and powerful than they were now.

It even caused Abraham to almost lose Trevino Group.

Madison lost her balance and she nearly fainted.

Everleigh’s hands were clenched tightly, but she was still determined. She didn’t want Xavier to die just like that.

“Madam Allen, if you really don’t agree, then I’ll go in first. However, I cannot guarantee that he will come out alive.” Maxwell was pressuring her as well, not wanting to give her any chances.

“I’m sorry.” All of a sudden, Madison stood up and shouted.

Everleigh could feel that it wasn’t sincere, so she continued, “It sounds so insincere.”

“I’m sorry, I was wrong.”

Everleigh still wasn’t moving. She stood there and had no intention of going into the operating room.

Madison gritted her teeth and repeated, “I’m really sorry.”

It sounded much more genuine. Everleigh went silent for a moment, and thought that it was about time to save Xavier.

She turned around and walked into the operating room while saying, “Remember, Madam Allen, what goes around, comes around.”

Not only did Madison not feel grateful, but she also became even more resentful after hearing what Everleigh had said.

It was the first time in so many years that she had to apologize to someone.

Dr. Andrews was already drenched in sweat in the operating room. “You’re finally here. If you didn’t come in any time soon, I wouldn’t know what to do anymore.”

Everleigh looked at the data on the monitor, and saw that Xavier’s vital signs were still normal.
