If it wasn't for that letter, she would never have returned.
Nevertheless, she still had a lot of rancor within her... Maybe that was why she came back.
"Mommy, are you sure you won't get back together with him?"
"Do you want me to be with him?"
Alastair shook his head and then lowered it, "Not at all, Mommy. I hope that he is a person who can bring you happiness, not a person who will only bring harm to you. I once read a book, and it said that the most important thing in life is to travel freely in the world, to dream, to love one another and be together forever. But Mommy, although Christopher is notorious for his playful acts and he was impeccable to you, his nature is difficult to change. Although Uncle Stainley is a nice and gentle guy, he lacks manliness. Neither of them suit you."
Everleigh was even more astonished when she heard his words. She didn't expect that he could read people so thoroughly.
"Alastair..." "Mommy, you should find someone who likes you with all his heart and soul, not any one of the three of them." It was only during this period of time that he had managed to figure this out.
He had investigated, and no one could accept what happened to his mommy seven years ago. He didn't want the rest of her life to be ruined further.
Hearing his words, she suddenly laughed.
He was so young; how could he have analyzed people so accurately?
"Could it be that his IQ has reached an unparalleled level?"
"What are you laughing at? Did I say anything wrong?" Alastair was a little puzzled by her laughter, and he couldn't figure out why.
Everleigh grinned further. She reached out to touch his head and said in a loving tone, "No, I just think that my Alastair has grown up and knows how to help me."
His face reddened because of her words. Although he had heard praises many times, he still felt a little shy in his heart.
"I will remember your opinion. If you have a suitable candidate, you can introduce him to me." She was not just talking about it. If Alastair had such an idea, she was open to it too.
He lowered his eyelids and a look of disappointment flashed across his face. "Mommy, do you want to do it because of us?"
"No, not just for you, but I also want to try as you said," she meant every word she said.
If it was someone else, it could work out if they had a different mindset.
He didn't say anything more. He got out of bed silently and went back to his room.
She still wanted to say something, but the child was no longer interested in listening.
At that moment, in the hospital. When Theodore opened his eyes, he could smell the scent of disinfectant. His eyes were dim.
"You're awake."
He heard the familiar voice and turned his head to look. He saw that Stainley was sitting next to him, and Moses was nowhere to be seen.
"Why are you here?"
"You fainted, and your assistant sent you to the hospital," Stainley explained briefly, and the tone of indifference was obvious.
Theodore sat up straight. He felt like his heart seemed to be a little stuffy. Subconsciously, he wanted to reach out and touch his own chest.
When Stainley saw this, his eyes slightly flickered. "The blood supply to your heart was poor because you didn't get enough rest and stayed up late during this period of time. That's why you fainted. Go back and rest well. Don't stay up late. After a period of recuperation, you'll be fine." After saying this, he was ready to leave the ward.
Theodore didn't answer. Instead, he asked, "Do you know about Everleigh and Christopher's gathering today?"
The hand that was about to open the door stopped for a while and it took a while for him to regain his senses.
"Didn't you say that you won't give up? Why aren't you saying anything now?" Theodore looked at him sarcastically.
"What is it that you want to say?" Stainley asked in a low voice without looking back; his hand gripped the doorknob with even more force.
His nails were also turning white at that point.
Theodore leaned back against the hospital bed and laughed at himself, "I went to see that harmonious family. Stainley, I didn't have a chance, and you don't have a chance either. Everleigh once told me that she had nothing more than respect for you as a senior, but you've mistakenly thought that as love, and are still pestering her to this day."
Upon hearing his words, Stainley's gentle expression had long since vanished. Turning around, he looked at him and said, "Theodore, you're looking for someone to accompany you in your misery, aren't you?"
"No... I want you to see the truth yourself. You and I are both people who can't get her." Theodore's eyes were filled with pain. He couldn't accept this reality.
Stainley sneered and said, "Is that so? What you think has nothing to do with me. I can tell you that it's all your fault that she has become who she is now. There is no doubt that you can't win her heart."
The anger in his eyes gradually retreated, and his heart seemed to be suppressed by something.
He knew that no matter in what aspect, he had succeeded.
After Stainley left, all that was left was silence in Theodore's ward. Suddenly, a bitter smile spread on his face.
What was he doing? It was clearly all his fault, but he was venting his anger on Stainley. Did he want him to feel pain along with him?
When Moses came in, Theodore sat alone on the bed and was in a daze. He put down the things in his hand.
After a rather long time contemplating, he finally told Theodore that Madison wanted to see him back at home. Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
"Why should I go back?" Theodore asked, his voice still hoarse and his sight still fixed on the scenery outside the window.
Through the window, leaves were rustling and swaying against the wind; a true picture of what Theodore's heart was like.
All of it was messed up.
"She found out about what happened to you during your visit to the Trevino family and became furious. She also wanted to talk to you about the issues with the Bailey family..." "These things have nothing to do with me. Tell her that she had done unforgivable things. Therefore, other than the fact that she is my mother, she's nothing else," Theodore spouted each word ruthlessly.
Moses felt the matter didn't have to be that big of a deal.
After all, Madison was his biological mother.
"Leave now. I intend to rest." Theodore waved his hand slightly. Moses then left without saying anything else.
The following day, Everleigh arrived at the hospital. Everything was the same as usual; the only variant was that Theodore was occupying the VIP ward.
When she saw his case, she recalled what Alastair had said.
"Dr. Trevino."
"Excuse me, what did you say?" She was pulled back to reality from her thoughts when someone called her name.
The nurse said helplessly, "I'm not calling you. I'm just wondering what you are doing with the case studies in your hand. Aren't you going to do your rounds?"
"Yes, let's go now." She didn't want to go at first, but on second thought, she was a victim in these things, and she didn't feel bad for him. Why should she avoid him?
However, just as she entered Theodore's ward, she realized how foolish she was. It turned out that all the precautions would disappear when she saw his face.
He was also stunned when he saw her.
