Said I didn’t Love Him But I Lied

“You did great.” Maxwell looked at the data on the machines, and was satisfied too.

They had indeed delayed for a long time, if not, they wouldn’t have asked Dr. Andrews to monitor Xavier’s condition.

Everleigh was holding a scalpel as she looked at Xavier, who had a pale face and was unconscious.

She felt incredibly guilty.Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

“Xavier, I’m really sorry. I’ve embarrassed your mother at the entrance just now, but I don’t regret it. I don’t even think I was harsh enough.” She seemed to be complaining to him, but also seemed to be talking to herself at the same time.

Maxwell, the main surgeon, couldn’t help but ask, “What actually happened between the two of you?”

“I left this place back then because of her. She didn’t approve of my relationship with Theodore, so used her influence to suppress my father. He didn’t tell me anything, and chose to keep it all to himself,” Everleigh answered as she handed him a pair of scissors.

It was as if she was talking about someone else’s story.

He didn’t look at her, but could feel the anger inside her.

Sure enough, he was right.

“Well, you’ve finally taken your revenge on her.”

“It’s useless. Madison is just too stubborn, she’ll never learn her lesson. Instead, she will hate me even more,” she responded indifferently.

He chuckled and didn’t speak.

It seemed that he had stuck his nose into other people’s affairs.

They only came out of the operating theatre when the sun was about to rise.

Maxwell pulled down his face mask and said, “The operation was very successful. He’ll be observed closely in the ICU for a day, and if there’s nothing wrong with him, he can be transferred to the general ward.”

Madison didn’t answer. Instead, she followed Xavier over to the ICU.

Everleigh was exhausted, so she went straight to Abraham’s ward to have a rest.

She slept all the way until noon.

When she opened her eyes, she saw Theodore sitting on the sofa, talking to Abraham. They all looked at her after noticing that she had woken up.

“Why are you here?”

“There’s nothing much going on at the company, so I came here to pay a visit,” Theodore looked at her pityingly.

Everleigh yawned, and felt a little hungry.

When Theodore heard that, he gave her all the food that he had brought, as if he was afraid she wouldn’t have enough.

When Christopher came over and saw her eating, he sat down and ate with her.

“Why didn’t you tell me that you are eating?”

“Can’t you come over yourself?” She retorted. It had become a habit for them to talk like that.

He let out a cold snort and stuffed his mouth with food.

Abraham and Theodore watched as the two of them gorged on the food, and felt that there was nothing wrong with it.

Abraham had always felt sorry for Christopher as Everleigh and Theodore were together.

However, recently, he found that Christopher didn’t seem to care, and he let the two of them do whatever they wanted to.

He was old, so he really couldn’t keep up with the modern thinking of young people.

After lunch, Christopher spoke up, “I heard that Xavier was seriously ill last night.”

“Yeah. If not, I wouldn’t have slept here.” Everleigh stretched her body and glanced at Theodore.

Judging from his looks, he had probably known about it already.

“Dr. Harrison said that you did a good job.”

She didn’t respond. It wasn’t up to one single person to judge her performance.

Theodore paused for a moment and asked, “Are there any signs of him waking up?”

“He won’t wake up; the blood supply to his heart is insufficient, let alone his brain. He won’t wake up unless his heart gets better.” Everleigh’s tone was solemn, and it was clear that the case was tricky.

“I’m afraid it’s also not suitable for him to undergo a heart transplant surgery. It’s better for him to keep his own heart.” Before Theodore could speak, Christopher interrupted him.

Suddenly, everyone in the room fell silent.

Then, a nurse came over to change Abraham’s IV drip bag. When she saw Everleight there, she said, “Dr. Trevino, you’re here?”

“What’s the matter?”

“Nothing, it’s just the news broadcast this morning, didn’t you watch it? It seems that it has got something to do with you.” The nurse didn’t explain it properly.

Everleigh felt suspicious. She looked at the news on her phone, only to see a headline that said she was indecent. It claimed that she was on the Godfrey family’s side although she was a member of the Jenkins family, and even released all the disputes between the two families.

It claimed that she was dishonorable and shameless, and even said that she had covered up her past relationship with Theodore on purpose.

All the accusations were directed at her.

She laughed out loud, but it was out of anger.

“Don’t these people have anything better to do?”

Christopher and Theodore both saw it too. Although it wasn’t a big deal, it wasn’t good for a doctor’s reputation.

At the same time, Alexander had received the news as well, and was infuriated. He was very angry. It was obvious that Everleigh had become a victim of the conflict between the two families.

She was put in a difficult position.

He thought for a moment, and decided to call her. “Everleigh, have you seen the news?”

“Yes, I saw it, but it’s not a big deal.”

“It isn’t, but it will be if someone decides to magnify the problem and publish it in the headlines.” Alexander was thinking about the worst case scenario.

It could very well be the starting point for the two families to break out.

Despite this, Everleigh didn’t think too much about it. “Alexander, what are you planning to do next?”

“The only thing I can do is to clarify the entire situation to the media, don’t worry,” he comforted her.

She understood that he was the best person to step in. After all, Wilson was in charge of the Godfrey family, and it was impossible for him to do something about it.

Theodore gave Moses a call to ask him about the person who had exposed everything, but he couldn’t find any clues.

“No clues at all? Did the news just decide to expose itself?”

“Mr. Godfrey, our men are still investigating, but so far, it doesn’t look like it was done by someone in the country,” Moses answered truthfully.

Theodore didn’t say anything much when he heard that. “Just complete the investigation as soon as possible.”

“Sure,” Moses replied.

Everleigh didn’t pay much attention to it, but everyone was already calling her an ungrateful person the next day.

Quite a lot of people made negative comments on her.

Alexander knew that things couldn’t be delayed anymore, so he explained that Everleigh and Theodore were nothing but business partners, and that there were some people who were trying to slander them.

However, no one believed him.

No one would take such a high-sounding statement seriously.

Someone even posted videos of the two of them having dinner together, and argued that business partners shouldn’t have been so intimate.

The whole affair became extremely critical.

“Everleigh, take a look at this.” Abraham showed her a publication online.

Many people were criticizing her improper behavior. She was married to the Meyer family, but was still having an intimate relationship with another man.

Suddenly, she became famous for being an unfaithful wife.

Some of them even brought Josephine Bailey into the discussion.

Josephine and Theodore were supposed to get married, but Everleigh had ruined everything.

“Dad, some people just like to make groundless accusations. I know I’m innocent, so there’s nothing to be afraid of. Don’t worry about it.” Everleigh had always believed that there was nothing she should be afraid of if she had done nothing wrong.

However, Abraham thought otherwise. “Everleigh, words can kill.”
