Chapter 320
Everleigh appeared right after Selena finished the soup.
"What did you want to see me about?"
Everleigh did not answer her question. Instead, she sat down on a chair and said, "Selena, I know you've gotten into a relationship recently."
"What do you want to say? Do you want to tell Dad?" Selena snorted, dissatisfied with her attitude.
Everleigh sighed. "You are not a child anymore. Why should I always tell dad about you? Besides, I did not come to stop you from dating."
"Then why did you want to see me?"
"Are you dating Leon?" Everleigh's gaze slightly sank as she spoke in a stern tone.
Selena was stunned before she thought of something. "Did you have someone investigate me?"
"Am I right?" She did not answer her, but instead asked seriously.
Selena glared at her and the anger in her eyes did not seem to fade, while Everleigh remained expressionless.
The two of them were locked in a stalemate for some time, and neither of them gave in. Finally, Selena admitted defeat.
It was the same every time. As long as it was something Everleigh was determined about, she would not change her mind even if the world exploded.
"Okay, I'll tell you." Selena couldn't bear it anymore. Now she knew why she always lost to her sister.
Hence, Everleigh did not say anything, waiting for her to continue.
"He came to see me after he left the hospital that day. I know he is a playboy, but... He is very smart, so I... tried to accept him. Who knows he might change someday? It's hard to say." Selena's voice weakened in the end.
She refused to admit it because she thought that it was embarrassing. She used to look down on Christopher, but Leon was no better than him.
"Didn't you say that you don't like people like Christopher? Why are you dating someone like him now?"
"What about you? Have you really forgotten about Theodore? Are you really happy being with Christopher?" Selena retorted, annoyed by her words.
Leon was really good to her. He'd cut off the other girls long ago.
Everleigh knew that she would have tons of reasons to explain her behavior. "The person I wanted to talk to you about is Leon, not Theodore."
"Is it so weird that I'm with him?"
"It's not strange. Leon is handsome and his family is also doing well. Plus, you have the support of the Godfrey family too, but there's something I want to tell you."
"What's the matter?"
Everleigh hesitated for a moment and said, "Leon and Cecil dated in the past. He used to be so devoted to Cecil but later, he cheated on her with another woman. She found out and they broke up." Upon hearing this, Selena was a little dismayed. "Cecil is just one of them."
"Yes, she's one of them but she was special. They planned to get married before." Everleigh's words managed to provoke her sister at last.
Then, Selena turned around and glared at her. "You don't like me, do you? Are you happy to see me living a tough life?"
Everleigh was speechless at her stubbornness. If it wasn't for her sake, she wouldn't care so much.
"You can think of it as you like. If you think he treats you differently, you can try to accept him but let me warn you, heartbreak guts you like a fish." She finished her words and got up.
It was Selena's own matter to deal with.
As she listened to Everleigh, her expression darkened.
Despite that, she was still a little suspicious of her words.
Her encounter with Leon during this whole time obviously had her carried away. Nevertheless, she knew deep down in her heart that she was very strict when it came to relationships. If there was any deception, she would never forgive Leon.
By the time Everleigh came out, Alastair and Adrienne had been sent off to school by the driver. On the other hand, Abraham was also dressed and ready for work.
"Are you done talking to each other?"
"Dad, did you know about this?"
His wrinkled face twitched as he smiled. "Selena has changed a lot recently. I can see it. Everleigh, if you have more to say, just say it. If it's not a well-matched family, I will not approve of their relationship too."
"I understand. She's old enough to have her own opinion. Dad, don't worry."
He nodded. He doted on both of his children very much.
Everleigh had nothing else to do, so she went to the hospital to visit Dr. Harrison.
As soon as she walked in, she heard a conversation between two nurses.
"Is it true what you said?" This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
"Of course it's true. Who else do you think would have gone so far to Auview if they could help it?"
"What do you mean by Auview?" Everleigh could not help but walk over and ask.
"Dr. Trevino!" The nurses responded. The smiles on their faces did not fade as they were glad to see her.
She smiled and said, "What are you talking about? It seems to be about something embarrassing."
"The hospital will be sending a team abroad for medical support. As you can see, there are only a few people who are willing to go." One of the nurses frowned as if she would be chosen by the hospital.
Everleigh knew that they would choose a medical team every year, but she didn't expect that they would go that far abroad this year.
"Dr. Trevino, are you here for a follow-up?" "No, I'm here to visit Dr. Harrison. Carry on with your work. I'll go and see him first." "Sure. Dr. Trevino, if there's nothing important to attend to, feel free to come and join us."
She nodded and walked out. She got along well with these nurses and often shared things with them. This was also one of the reasons why she didn't want to leave.
Everleigh was about to knock on the door before she entered when she heard a voice coming from the inside. It was Christopher. "Dr. Harrison, do you know what you're saying? Why did Everleigh get infected with AIDS?"
When she heard this, she was astounded and her mind was buzzing. It was as if she hadn't heard them at all.
"Keep your voice down. You don't want others to know. Besides, who said she has AIDS? It's just speculation. That person was also injured when he hurt Everleigh. His blood report turned out to be positive for AIDS, but she is not necessarily ill." Dr. Harrison went on but he still sounded worried.
Everleigh couldn't help but step back. She couldn't stop her tears from streaming down and the expression on her face turned grave.
Then, she looked around. At this very moment, she felt as if the sky was falling. As she took a step, she blacked out.
"Dr. Trevino."
The two people in the room were stunned when they heard a noise coming from the outside. They opened the door and went out to have a look.
Then, they saw her passed out on the ground.
"Everleigh!" Christopher shouted as he ran over to pick her up.
"Bring her inside." Dr. Harrison anxiously called and quickly opened the door to put her down on the sickbed in his office.
The nurse came in and Dr. Harrison checked on her. After a while, he breathed out a sigh of relief. "She fainted because she got agitated. It's not a big deal. Go on and carry on with your work."
Hearing those words, the nurse was relieved and didn't stay any longer. After all, they were all busy attending to their tasks.
