Deep Love Hidden From Him

Chapter 314

The two of them stayed like that, one outside the ward and one inside. Christopher did not go in to bother Everleigh.

He knew that she was a strong person and would never cry in front of others. She would always bear the grievance alone, no matter how big it was.

That time wasn't an exception.

She cried alone for a long time. She stopped when she realized that her voice had turned hoarse. Christopher was still standing by the door as if he didn't intend to leave.

He calmly lit a cigarette and took puffs of it.

The people in the corridor didn't understand what he was doing. They all only felt that there was something wrong with him to have smoked there. Didn't he know that the hospital was a no-smoking zone?

Everleigh fell asleep after crying. When she woke up, the setting sun was already shining on her.

When she saw the setting sun with her own eyes, she felt an indescribable feeling of melancholy in her heart.

She was not a person who would easily be discouraged, but that was reality, and she had no choice but to accept the fact. She then got up and went straight to the bathroom to wash her face so that she wouldn't look that haggard.

Not long after she finished washing up, the door opened, and a familiar scent entered her nostrils.

She turned her head and looked at the person who came in. She cried out in surprise, "Mrs. Harrison, why are you here?"

"Because I just learned that you were hospitalized. How dare that old fart keep it from me for so long? I specially made your favorite pork dish for you. Do you want to eat it?"

Everleigh nodded and looked at Mrs. Harrison's back. She really missed the times when she would always go to her house to eat and drink, and bring some food back.

Nevertheless, she was a grown-up right now, and she had a lot of things to do, so she never went to revisit them.

Smelling that familiar aroma, she missed those times even more and began to eat in large mouthfuls.

She didn't care if it was hot or not.

"Eat slowly." Seeing her acting like that, Mrs. Harrison felt a little bittersweet.

She heard everything from Maxwell. He only told her after such a long time. How would she not know how strong a person Everleigh was? She was the same as the old man.

Right then...

Everleigh ate a lot of food and belched with satisfaction, "Mrs. Harrison, your food is the best." "If you like it, I'll visit and bring it to you everyday. Also, I cooked you some soup. I'll pour some out for you." She poured the soup for her as she spoke.

Everleigh didn't say anything and just waited for her to bring her the soup.

After eating and drinking, she was no longer in such a bad mood.

"Mrs. Harrison, why did you come here at such a late hour?" She asked.

"Cooking all this took quite some time. You brat, why didn't you tell me that such a big thing had happened?"

Everleigh gave a wry smile. What did she want her to say? The fact that she was slashed by her patient and could no longer hold a scalpel for her whole life? It was such a ridiculous thing that she wouldn't believe it if it really didn't happen to her, not to mention other people.

Mrs. Harrison also realized that she had said something wrong, so she quickly changed the topic.

"By the way, I heard that you have two children. Why didn't they come over? I also prepared some gifts forthem."

"They should be arriving soon." Everleigh looked at the clock. It was almost time.

As soon as she finished speaking, Adrienne's voice came from outside the door, "Mommy, we're here."

Adrienne and Alastair went in, followed by Selena. During that time, Selena didn't have much work too, so she took care of the two children. Everleigh was grateful towards her, but she knew clearly in her heart that her sister still didn't like her.

"Oh, these two babies are so good-looking." Mrs. Harrison liked Adrienne and Alastair's appearances at first sight.

"Alastair, Adrienne, this is Mrs. Harrison. You guys need to call her Madam Priscilla." Everleigh introduced.

"Hello, Madam Priscilla. Mommy would always mention you. Thank you for your care and your food," Adrienne said in a childish voice, which was very pleasant.

Mrs. Harrison became even more ecstatic after hearing that. The main reason was that Adrienne was wonderful at talking.

"Come here, one for each of you. It's my gift. You have to accept it." She was worried that they would not accept it, so she quickly said it out loud.

Alastair and Adrienne both looked at Everleigh as if they were waiting for her answer.

She nodded her head, indicating that she had agreed.

Adrienne giggled, "Thank you, Madam Priscilla. You must be tired, aren't you? Hurry up and have a seat. You've come all the way here to visit Mommy, so it must've been hard, right?" Adrienne took the small gift and pulled her to sit on the sofa.

Like a little adult, Adrienne liked to talk about domestic matters.

Selena stood at the door and couldn't help laughing. Everleigh also felt very helpless. The only thing Adrienne excelled at was her talking skills; she dared to talk about anything.

She could even convince people that the dead were alive.

Madam Priscilla grinned from ear to ear when she heard her words. She liked children who were lively and cute.

"Yes, that's why I came specially to see you. You don't even know. In the past..."

Mrs. Harrison didn't hold back and directly told her about how she met Everleigh, and Adrienne was fascinated by her.

Alastair, on the other hand, was quietly sitting aside and said some things from time to time.

Selena seemed a bit abrupt. She walked up to Everleigh and said, "You were so shameless in the past."

"This is called improving my relationship between my teacher and me," she answered.

"You're wonderful at finding excuses," Selena replied.

The sky gradually darkened as the sun set. Mrs. Harrison had to go back to prepare dinner, so she left first.

Adrienne was very reluctant for her to leave, and she shouted from behind, "Madam Priscilla, let's talk next time."

"Alright, I will bring you some food next time too."

"Okay, cook more of it, okay? Alastair also likes to eat it." When Adrienne heard that, her eyes couldn't help but light up. Food, that was great.

Selena received a phone call from her crew, and she had to leave to film a cut, so she left with the children.

The noisy ward became quiet again.

Everleigh's heart was filled with worry, and it was even more intense than before.

A few days later, her wound became much better, and she was discharged. Dr. Harrison personally went to remove her stitches. He looked extra thin, which made him seem older.

"Dr. Harrison."

"Priscilla has cooked your favorite dishes for you. Come eat with us tomorrow night. Bring your two children with you too. I haven't seen them even once either," he said.

He was nagged by his wife countless times when he went back. Although they were in the same hospital, they didn't have much time to meet.

Hence, they weren't able to meet with each other often. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

Everleigh looked at her hand and she felt a little pain when she moved it a little, "Dr. Harrison, do you think I'm a failure?"

"How could you be a failure? You're my best student, after all. Everleigh, let me tell you the truth. When I left back then, even though I was angry, I was still very reluctant to part with you. I thought that if you weren't in trouble, you wouldn't have left either. As your teacher, how could I be unhappy to see you return?" He would never speak such emotional words, but the situation right then was different.

Everleigh's dream was disrupted.

"Teacher, do you really think so?" She asked.

"What else can I lie to you about now? Your situation is very different. I still want to pass on my mantle to you because you're as upright as I am," he said.
