Said I didn’t Love Him But I Lied

“I’ll examine you.” Everleigh didn’t want to say anything else.

She had already been slapped, and there was no point in continuing the subject.

Xavier looked at her red and swollen face, guilt flashing across his eyes. “I’m sorry, Everleigh.”

“I’m your sister-in-law, so we’re a family. You don’t need to apologize. However, Xavier, I have to make it clear to you that I’m in conflict with your mother, so don’t blame me for being rude.” She didn’t stop examining him, but her tone was serious.

She was a human who would hold grudges. Madison was not polite to her, so it was impossible for her to return good for evil.

She could also see that it was out of the question for her and Madison to coexist peacefully.

He smiled bitterly and said, “I understand. Since I fell into a coma, I know everything there is to know about you two. I heard clearly everything everyone said to me. I really wanted to open my eyes and tell you that I know everything, but no matter how hard I tried, I had no strength to do so. I could only listen to what you said to me.”

Hearing this, she felt a sting in her nose.

She understood what Xavier meant. He was fine now; he had already woken up. For them, it was something worth celebrating.

After a series of examinations, Everleigh had come to a conclusion that there was no serious problem with his heart for the time being, but it still needed to be treated well.

“Your health is fine now. I’ll ask someone to make some light food for you. As for what you wish to eat, we will talk about it after you are discharged.”

“Okay,” he responded, and his eyes were full of eager for life. After coming back from the brink of death, he valued his life more than ever. Even if he couldn’t live long, he didn’t want to have any regrets.

Theodore stayed behind and looked at his brother. Xavier said in a low voice, “The company…”

He replied, “When Wilson lost the money before, there was a large amount of money transferred into his bank account. I don’t know the details either. I can only wait for the investigation results.”

Hearing this, Xavier gently closed his eyes and said, “It seems that Grandma’s hope is going to be ruined. My plan can’t be implemented now.”Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Theodore’s eyes flickered when he heard Xavier speak of his plan, but he didn’t give any other explanation.

Christopher came to work that day, feeling refreshed. When Everleigh returned to the office, she saw him and Erine together.

“When did you come over?”

“This morning. I came bearing you delicious food.” Christopher knew that Everleigh had been helping him recently, so he had brought her favorite dishes to thank her.

She didn’t hesitate but took it and started digging in.

Erine, on the other hand, saw her red cheeks. She recalled what had happened that morning and said, “So you are the doctor who took a slap this morning.”

Everleigh paused from eating and said, “How do you know everything?”

“The hospital is not that big. It’s not difficult for me to have heard about it. Your story is spreading throughout the hospital. Word has it that you fought with the patient and you hooked up with the patient’s son, balabalabala,” Erine said in a flat tone.

Everleigh had had it up to her eyeballs. As a wise man once said, bad news travels fast.

Only then did Christopher know what he had missed. “What’s going on?”

Everleigh had no choice but to tell him what had happened. He frowned and stared at her cheek. That was why her cheek was red.

“Have you applied any medicine?”

“Yeah, or I wouldn’t have been able to relieve the swelling so quickly. What an unexpected disaster for me,” she sighed.

Erine did not think so. “You’d better be careful. I heard from other nurses that Madison was throwing a tantrum in her ward. She didn’t listen to the doctor, and she seems to be seriously ill.”

Everleigh knew about Madison’s condition; she had asked her attending doctor before. Once her symptoms became obvious, there would come a possibility of cancer at any time. Moreover, her bad temper could not be controlled, which would only exacerbate her condition.

The matter was difficult to handle.

At noon, Everleigh brought food to Xavier’s ward. Christopher and Erine tagged along as well.

Xavier didn’t know Erine, but the latter introduced herself gracefully, “Nice to meet you. My name is Erine and I’m a friend of Everleigh’s. I know that you’re awake, so I came here to visit you.” She reached out to hold his hand.

However, before she could walk over, she was pulled back by Christopher. “You don’t need to shake hands with him.”

“I am just being polite.” Erine didn’t understand. She didn’t notice that her hand was still in his.

Seeing this, Theodore’s eyes flickered as he said nothing.

“He’s already in bed. What’s with the politeness talk. Let’s do it when he sits up.” Christopher waved his hand and said casually.

Xavier understood Christopher’s character, but he didn’t have the mood to care about that.

He would recover fast. After all, Taking charge of Godfrey Group was his goal. He could not let it be ruined by Wilson.

Everleigh hesitated for a moment and said, “I need to tell you something.”

“What is it?” Xavier asked in confusion.

“You have a problem with your heart disease. If you want to be cured, I will inject my medicine into you as usual, but there is a drawback. This is a new medicine still in the clinical stage. The specific side effects were not clear now. I’m here to get your agreement on it. Under normal circumstances, your parents can call the shots, but now, the situation is a bit…”

“I understand. If there is anything that needs approve, I can personally sign it,” Xavier said in a deep voice. As long as he could get better, he didn’t care about what he had to do to get there.

“This is against the rules. Your family should decide, and Theodore can sign it, too.” Everleigh gave a meaningful look to him. She hadn’t told him about this matter, and it was a sudden thought of hers.

They had to give it a try.

“Okay, I trust you,” Theodore replied in a deep voice with a hint of firmness in his cold eyes.

Everleigh smiled faintly and said, “I’ll arrange it in the afternoon. Let’s not wait any longer.”

Xavier lapsed into a moment of silence. There must be side effects after taking the new medicine, but he was also clear about his condition; he might die sooner or later if he was not treated.

In the afternoon, Everleigh took out the agreement letter and handed it to Theodore. He signed it without even reading.

“When are you going to use it?”

“In a while, as he needs to be awake. If he feels uncomfortable, he can let me know.”

“Everleigh, will the risk be greatly reduced?” He asked.

She hesitated for a moment and said thoughtfully, “There’s a risk in using new medicines. Maybe there’s not much positive reaction in the clinical stage, and it might be fine as Xavier has a well-built body.”

“That’s good. Xavier really wants to live. His goal is his pillar of support.”

She understood that his goal was the Godfrey Group. It was all thanks to this goal. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have survived this long.
