Said I didn't Love Him But I Lied

Chapter 221 You Really Like Mr. Godfrey, Right? When Everleigh arrived at the hospital, the operating room's lights were still on.

Only Moses stood at the door of the operating room. As soon as he saw Everleigh, he immediately stood up from the chair and asked, "Dr. Trevino, why are you here?" "Leon toldwhat happened." Everleigh looked anxiously at the door of the operating room. "How is it? How long has it been? What's going on?" Her series of questions made Moses feel a little confused. "They said it was sudden, but in truth, it wasn't sudden at all. Mr. Godfrey's test results haven't been looking good over the past few days, and the doctor warned us not to leave him alone. Thankfully, I returned to the ward because I forgot something and I found him unconscious." A little over an hour ago, Moses had taken Theodore's signed documents back to the company, but he realized that there were a few issues with them and returned. Then, he found Theodore unconscious in the ward and the rest of it, Everleigh knew already.

As they spoke, the lights in the operating room went out and the door was opened from inside. Everleigh hurried over and asked, "Dr. Harvey, how is he?" Darius Harvey was Theodore's attending physician. In the medical exchange meeting with Ocpeace City, Everleigh had interacted with him several times. During this week when she was taking care of Theodore, she had chatted with him frequently as well.

Darius took off his mask and said, "He's fine, we brought him back. It's just a hiccup in his treatment and there's no need for a craniotomy yet. He'll be awake soon." Everleigh breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this and her stiff legs suddenly went weak. Then, she fell limply backwards.

"Dr. Trevino..." Thankfully, Moses was quick enough to grab hold of Everleigh.

There was not a single trace of blood on Everleigh's face. Then Moses helped her aside and asked, "Dr. Trevino, are you okay?" "I'm fine." Everleigh shook her head slowly. "Maybe I ran too fast earlier and I just need to rest for a while." She had hailed a cab from the shopping mall and scrambled out of it before it even cto a complete stop. Worst case scenarios floated through her mind and all her rationality as a doctor flew out the window. After coming out of the operating room, Theodore was moved to the ward by the medical staff. He hadn't woken up yet.

Everleigh helped him slow down the IV drip by the bed and took a cotton swab and water to carefully smear his dry lips. After Moses cin and saw this scene, he felt a little sad inexplicably.

He didn't know what had happened between Everleigh and his boss, but he had seen a lot of entanglements these days. From an observer's point of view, it was uncomfortable to watch.

"Dr. Trevino, you really like Mr. Godfrey, right?" He suddenly asked, though he knew it was a bit abrupt.

Everleigh was stunned for a moment and her hand movements also stopped.

Moses knew that it was not easy for her to answer this question, so he simply said, "If you didn't like Mr. Godfrey, you wouldn't chere on purpose to take care of him, and you wouldn't be this anxious if you knew that he was in trouble." Then, he realized that he had made an insensitive remark when Everleigh silently lowered her head. "Sorry, that was over the line." A forced smile pulled at the corners of her lips as she said, "It's fine." Moses was telling the truth. Whether it was seven years ago or seven years later, she could not deny that the man in front of her had been engraved into her mind.

Alas, life was complicated like that and you couldn't always follow your heart.

Spread out in front of both her and Theodore wasn't only the seven-year gap, but also an inexplicable amount of pain. Despite tdulling the ache, she knew that the pain had never fully disappeared. Instead, it lurked in the background, waiting to strike like an animal.

She was no longer that innocent twenty something girl. She had things she needed to do and people to protect, which were far above her own love.

After Everleigh cto her senses, she asked, "By the way, did you tell Madam Scott about Theodore's fainting?" Moses shook his head and said, "No, I wouldn't dare to do that. Madam Scott's heart is not good. We didn't even tell her about Theodore staying in the hospital. If she knew about this, I wouldn't be able to bear the consequences if anything happens, so I only called Mr. Allen. I didn't expect him to be with you." "I don't think Madam Scott is so mentally fragile, but since you kept it a secret, we might as well continue. It's all over anyway." Helen was old and very experienced, plus she rushed to Theodore's side once she knew he was hospitalized. However, she didn't seem panicked at all. Ultimately, it was just others thinking too much of the situation.

However, when Moses mentioned the story of Leon, Everleigh suddenly thought of something and looked down at the clothes she was wearing.

"This is bad..." "What's wrong, Dr. Trevino?" "Nothing. I have something to attend to. I have to go back." "Is it an emergency?" "It's quite urgent." With that, Everleigh got up in a hurry.

"Then you can do your own thing. I'm here. I'll send you a message when Mr. Godfrey wakes up." "Okay." Half an hour later, the taxi stopped at the door of Everleigh's home.

When Everleigh saw the car in the garage before she entered the house, she knew that Cecil was back. She breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt very guilty. When she entered the door, she deliberately exaggerated her movements to draw out anyone who was in the house.

However, she didn't see Cecil in the living room.

Since she started staying at Everleigh's house, she usually hung around in the living room every twhen Everleigh cback. Cecil either laid down to eat snacks and watch TV shows or practiced yoga on the yoga mat in the living room. Where was she that day? As she was thinking, the sound of the wheels rolling cfrom upstairs.

Everleigh looked up and saw that O Cecil was dragging a suitcase down the stairs. Her expression changed at once and she quickly stepped forward and said, "Cecil, what are you doing? Where are you going?" "I'm moving," said Cecil, glancing at her with a cold expression.

"Hey..." Everleigh raised her hand hurriedly to stop Cecil. "Why do you want to move out of here? Has the renovation of your apartment been completed?" "Can't I move if the renovation hasn't been completed? What right do I have to keep staying here? I'm not that selfish."

Hearing this, Everleigh knew that she was really angry. She quickly smiled and said, "You are my best friend. It won't be a problem even if you stay withfor the rest of your life." "No, I can't afford to be your best friend. I had no idea that you've been away for a week just to take care of your ex-boyfriend." The more Cecil said, the angrier she became. "Get out of my way." "Cecil, Cecil." Everleigh quickly grabbed her luggage and said, "I was wrong. I was wrong, okay? Please listen to me."

As soon as she finished speaking, Cecil put down the suitcase andm glanced at her with a scrutinizing look while crossing her arms. "Okay, you explain. I'll listen." With this, Everleigh knew that she could not hide the truth any longer and she sighed silently.

"He was in a car accident because ofand I couldn't just leave him after he was hospitalized." "Do you have anything else to say tobesides this?" Cecil's words shocked Everleigh.
