Deep Love Hidden From Him

Chapter 286

After the previous day's incident, Theodore had thought that Everleigh never wanted to see him for good, but there she was in his ward.

She pretended to act as if nothing had happened as she held the stethoscope and listened to his heart. Her delicate features were right in front of him as he stared blankly at her. When he thought about how she would no longer belong to him, his heart once again began to ache.

The nurse aside suddenly recalled something and exclaimed, "Dr. Trevino, I forgot the sphygmomanometer."

It was also because of the nurse's shout that their thoughts were both brought back to the present, especially Everleigh, who calmly said, "What's the use of yelling? Get it quickly."

"Okay, I'll get it now." As she said that, the nurse put the patient's record on the bed and went to get the sphygmomanometer.

Then, Everleigh and Theodore were left alone in the ward. Neither of them talked to each other. After checking on his heartbeat, she picked up the record and filled it in. In the big room, merely the sound of a pen writing on a piece of paper could be heard.

"You can get another check later. If there's nothing off, you will be discharged from the hospital." She treated him with the standard bedside manner.

On the other hand, he was starting to miss her long- winded advice. It was the most precious thing to him now as he would no longer hear it.

Just when he parted his lips and seemed to want to say a thing or two, the sound of clicking high heels was heard from the direction of the door.

The woman, who wore a black dress, walked in. Her dignified temperament was on full display. "Theo..."

The both of them looked at Madison, who was standing at the door. Then, they turned their heads away from her in a flippant gesture.

It was the same for Madison. When she saw Everleigh, the concern in her eyes had disappeared, and disgust replaced it.

She strode over and pointed at her, saying in a harsh voice, "Everleigh, you're like a stubborn cockroach. Wherever I go, you're there."

Everleigh looked at the hand persistently pointing at her, and sneered, "Madam Allen, I think there is a problem with what you've said here. This is my workplace, and I didn't come to see him on purpose. Your anger is misplaced."

Hearing her words, Madison realized where she was standing.

But this also could not be the reason for Everleigh to come over.

There were so many doctors in the hospital. Why did she come here?

"So what? You are here to see him in this ward because you are thinking of reviving your past relationship. Am I not right?" Madison accused her, forgetting that it was Theodore who had been to Everleigh's place, and he who proposed.

Everleigh's clear eyes were full of sarcasm, and she found the woman in front of her to be simply unreasonable.

"You think of your son as a treasure. However in my eyes, he is nothing. You'd better pay attention to your words, or I don't mind having someone drive you out, Madam Allen."

"How dare you? This is the hospital I invested in!"

"Madam Allen, you must be senile. Have you forgotten that you have stopped investing funds here?" Everleigh kindly reminded her, and then glanced at Theodore, who was sitting on the hospital bed with a gloomy face.

She really felt helpless for him to have a mother like this.

Madison froze for a moment before turning to look at Theodore. Had she stopped investing in the hospital? Hadn't he taken care of it?

Everleigh walked past her and went straight out. It was a waste of her breath to talk to her.

After Everleigh left, Madison growled angrily, "You didn't invest further?"

"You've done terrible things, and you still want me to invest? You're an investor, not someone who blackmails," Theodore's voice was obviously cold.

He left his mother with no other words.

"Alright, let's not talk about the hospital for the time being. Why did you go to the Tervino family to propose marriage?"

Upon hearing this, he didn't say a word. A trace of sorrow flashed through his eyes before it disappeared.

He was rejected by Everleigh after he proposed to marry her.

"Speak! Are you out of your mind? Why would you propose to that woman?" Madison shouted; she was so loud that the whole hospital could hear her.

When he heard her unfiltered words, he felt as if his head was going to explode.

"How could you even question me? Don't you know? The reason she became like this? "

"What do I know? I've said it many times. I didn't do it." Madison hated this false accusation. She didn't do anything, so why would he keep framing her?

Theodore's eyes dimmed with remorse. He didn't want to argue with her anymore.

Everleigh was on her rounds just next door and overheard everything they said, but she just smiled it off. She believed that the evil would receive their karma; it was just a matter of time, and anyone who owed debts would have to pay it back sooner or later.

Madison threw a big fit in the hospital, and the whole ward could hear everything. Christopher heard such words when he was in the hospital and jeered.

Theodore deserved it.

At noon, Everleigh got a call from Cecil's phone and was told to pick her up at the airport at night.

It was a pleasant surprise for her. "Are you coming back?"

"Yes, by force. I'll tell you everything when I come back," Cecil answered.

Everleigh, however, smiled without another word. As long as she could come back, it was fine. In the evening, she and Christopher would be switching shifts.

He asked her where she was going.

She told him that Cecil would be coming back and Christopher's mood immediately became sour.

"Hurry up and go. Don't let her come here if she has nothing better to do," Christopher said as if he wanted to drive away a plague.

She felt helpless and she grabbed her keys before going to pick Cecil up.

At the airport, Everleigh, who had obviously arrived early, was sitting in her car and observing the hustle and bustle of the streets. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

She didn't go in until it was time to do so.

When she walked in, she saw Cecil coming out of the gate. Before she could greet her, she noticed that Leon was walking behind her.

Suddenly, Everleigh became serious, and she asked, "What are you two up to?"

"Don't blame this b*stard. Let's go back." With a gloomy face, Cecil took her hand and walked out.

Leon wanted to follow them, but he did not dare to get too close to them. He could only watch them leave.

In the car, Everleigh asked while driving, "What's wrong with you guys?"

"That b*stard ruined all my plans," said Cecil, gnashing her teeth.

Along the way, she had been listening to her talk about Leon's deeds. He really didn't learn from his experiences. During such an occasion, to think that he was still in the mood to flirt with others, didn't he know that he might have brought fatal consequences?

Cecil leaned back in the chair, looking haggard, and said weakly, "My effort is all gone."

Everleigh could see that she was really exhausted. She believed that it took a lot of hard work to get such an opportunity.

Anyone would be angry if he or she was destroyed like this.

"By the way, how did your family banquet go? Did the Meyer family say anything?"

"Don’t mention it. I get upset just thinking about it," Everleigh said helplessly and told her the whole story.

Cecil listened to her and her eyes widened, "Your father is really amazing. Indeed, no man can be trusted, except one's own father."

"Your men are also very powerful, such as your older and younger brother."
