Deep Love Hidden From Him

Chapter 309

Adrienne didn't want to leave. She wanted to stay with Everleigh.

"Christopher, I want to stay," she said.

"Adrienne, please be obedient and go back with me. Your mommy needs some time for herself. You don't want to see her like this too, do you?" Christopher squatted down and persuaded her softly.

She wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Alastair, "Adrienne, be good. We'll come again tomorrow."

She pouted and looked at Everleigh worriedly. She had no choice but to leave with Christopher and Alastair.

The three of them left while looking back at her, and they finally had no choice but to leave in the end.

Everleigh couldn't hold it in anymore. She burst into tears. In the quiet ward, waves of crying could be heard.

Others couldn't help but feel distressed when they heard that.

Everleigh cried while looking at the stars outside. She thought that if she looked at the sky that was full of stars, her sadness would go away gradually. She also kept comforting herself by telling herself that in the vast universe, she was just a small person. There was nothing she couldn't go through. However, the more she thought about it, the more upset she felt.

Tears kept streaming down her face.

She didn't close her eyes that night. For the first time, she realized that the summer night could also be that long. She tried her best to sleep, but she couldn't fall asleep no matter what.

She also wanted herself to relax, but she was clear that if her own master couldn't solve the problem, that no one could.

The morning sun rose gradually. The first ray of sunshine shone on her face. Her tears could not flow out anymore, and she could only look out of the window with her red and swollen eyes.

She listened to birds' chirping noise quietly that came from outside the window.

Nonetheless, she was not interested in listening to such noises.

Theodore arrived early. The food he brought there were all Everleigh's favorites. When he opened the door and walked in, he saw that her back was facing the door and he couldn't see her expression.

"Why did you get up so early?" His deep voice sounded. He walked over and placed the food in front of her.

Everleigh turned her head. Her pale face was gaunt and silent. There were black circles under her red and swollen eyes.

His face stiffened. He crouched down and raised his head, asking, "Everleigh, what happened? Don't scare me, okay?"

His terrified gaze was reflected in her eyes. A pair of large hands were touching her cheeks, and his voice was trembling.

She blinked her eyes. The stinging pain made her want to burn away her eyes.

She lowered her gaze and looked at him. She slowly said in a raspy voice that sounded like a river that was dried up and hadn't had any contact with water for a long time.

"Theodore."

"I'm here. Tell me," he replied.

"Your mother came last night."

His expression stiffened when he heard that, "What... did you say?"

"She came over to satirize me. She even told me a piece of news. It turned out that my right hand is disabled, and I can't hold a scalpel anymore. Don't you think it's ridiculous? My dream is to save the dying and heal the wounded, but right now..." Her tears fell again before she could continue her words.

Theodore stood up and hugged her. He said with slightly red eyes, "It'll definitely get better."

"Really? Your mother was so sure. Haha... What an ironic thing it is, for her to be the one to tell me such news." She didn't move in his arms. She could feel his warmth clearly with her cheeks.

However, what could that achieve?

She was a good-for-nothing now.

"Don't listen to her talking nonsense. You know her personality," he said.

"Yes, I know her personality. After all, she is your mother. What can I say? I can't even refute to her when I'm beaten," she replied.

Theodore froze for a moment, and a complex expression appeared in his eyes. He knew that no matter what he said, she wouldn't believe him.

It was all his fault.

"I'm sorry, Everleigh. I'm really sorry."

She pushed him away, and her cold eyes were like knives stabbing into his body. Gradually, her cold eyes became empty and hollow.

"Please leave. Don't show up in front of me again." After she said that, she laid on the bed. She covered herself with the quilt and refused to look at him. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

He didn't have the face to stay. He left after putting down the food.

After hearing the sound of walking fading away, she lifted the quilt.

Tears couldn't flow out of her eyes anymore. She could only stare at the door.

Theodore's complexion looked extremely bad when he left the hospital. Moses quickly walked over to support him.

"Mr. Godfrey."

"Moses, purchase all the shares in my mother's hands and chase her out of the board of directors." Theodore's gloomy voice sounded.

Moses' eyes widened. "Mr. Godfrey, isn't this too over the top?"

"A man dies the way a lamp goes out. No one can interfere with it that much. I have the authority in the Godfrey family now. Do whatever I tell you to do." He didn't want to care about Madison's matters anymore.

Even if his grandmother was still alive, she wouldn't show mercy if she knew about this matter either.

"Yes." Moses did not dare to say anything else.

Theodore turned around to look at the entrance of the hospital. He said while his eyes darkened, "Listen up, Moses. Bring her apples and a bouquet of fresh flowers that aren't too exaggerated everyday. Also, give her some medical books regarding hand injuries."

"Alright."

Theodore got in the car. He knew that he wouldn't be able to show himself here for a short period of time.

He had more important things to do now. In the past, he always broke his promise and couldn't give her an answer, but right then he could give it to her.

Moses was indeed Theodore's most capable subordinate. In just one day, he managed to buy all of Madison's shares.

When she learned of that, she went to find Theodore angrily and pointed at him with trembling fingers. "Theodore, how can you do this to me?"

"Why can't I do this? Isn't this the reason you have nothing to fear when you do things?" He answered.

"You... Are you doing this for that woman?" She asked.

"Yes, it's all because of that woman. I might as well tell you directly. If you dare to make trouble for Everleigh again, don't blame me for going even further." Theodore had always cared too much about his mother's feelings in the past.

That was why she treated Everleigh worse as time went by.

Madison was so angry that her chest was heaving. She pointed at him and told him off for a long time. Then, she rolled her eyes and fainted.

Theodore's gaze was cold. Without saying a word, he called someone to send her to the hospital. The news of Madison being hospitalized quickly spread throughout the company. Everyone guessed that he had angered her to the point that she fainted.

When he was in a meeting, he was criticized by everyone. Of course, they only said a few words.

Theodore's cold gaze swept over them, and everyone fell into silence. His cold voice slowly sounded, "Do you guys want to experience what it feels like to faint from anger?"

When everyone heard that, their bodies trembled and no one dared to speak anymore.

However, there was still an old man who dared to interrupt, "It's your mother after all. If you did that, didn't it mean that you weren't considering her feelings at all?"

"Since you like to consider other people's feelings, why don't you be like her too?" As soon as Theodore finished speaking, he beckoned Moses over and said in front of them, "Go and buy his shares for me. Anyone who dares to say another word will end up the same as him."
