Said I didn't Love Him But I Lied

Chapter 131 TWould Pass By You After coming down from Mount Elephant, Everleigh got into a cab and enjoyed the scenery outside.

She looked out of the window restlessly and her eyes were unfocused. What Selena said kept echoing in her head. "I'm not interested to know what you're facing. Three months should be sufficient for you to settle your matters here and transfer your children to another school." After saying this without pity, she excused herself and hung up the phone without giving Everleigh a chance to say anything else. Everleigh's head was in a mess after Selena hung up the phone.

Her younger sister, Selena, was the most straightforward person among all of those who did not want her in Ocpeace City. Her method was simple yet brusque. As long as Selena had any evidence, she would use it against Everleigh to force her to leave.

If her father found out that she married Christopher, he would definitely interrogate her. If the Trevino family and the Meyer family began to deepen their relationship as in-laws, it would be difficult for them to break off their relationship when the tcame.

She did not care if she was the only one affected. At worst, she could just leave Ocpeace City with her children. However, if the matter got bigger, how would Christopher deal with it, and how would the Meyer family and the Trevino family handle it? Three months was too short.

At the Godfrey Group.

The afternoon sun shone through the gaps of the blinds onto the grey carpet. Under the air conditioner, the beams faintly swayed over a hand holding a pen on the table. After a few strokes, the hand signed twice at the end of the contract and placed it aside.

"Knock, knock!" "Cin." "Mr. Godfrey, this is the revised plan from the sales department." "Leave it." Theodore did not raise his head as he spoke. He was focused on the documents in his hand. As he flipped through the pages, he coughed twice. He looked a little tired.

Moses asked him with concern, "Mr. Godfrey, did you catch a cold?" "I'm fine." Theodore's tone was indifferent. "How did the errand that I asked you to run this morning go?" Moses cto his senses and said, "I've found Mr. Allen. As you anticipated, he had a lot to drink and did not answer his phone. I think he should be awake by now." Theodore nodded his head after hearing what Moses said.

"If there are no further matters, I'll head out." "Okay." After Moses left, the office door was shut and the room fell into silence.

Theodore put down his pen and went through the contact list on his phone. He dialed a number and the line was connected after ringing for a while. A lazy male voice cfrom the other end. "Hello?" "It's me." Theodore's voice was as cold but strong as ever.

"The caller ID showed your name." The man's voice on the phone was hoarse and he sounded drunk. He turned his body over and yawned "What's wrong with you? Callingthis early in the morning and interrupting my dream. I thought I was being kidnapped!" Theodore was not in the mood for jokes. He said seriously, "Is the detective agency that you mentioned last ttrustworthy?" The person on the other end of the line was surprised. He seemed to have sobered up a little. "Oh?" Theodore continued to ask, "How good are they?" Speaking of this, the other party was excited and said proudly, "That goes without saying. They are reliable not only in Ocpeace City but also in the entire country. They are far more capable than other detective agencies." "Findthe best. I have an assignment." The person on the other end of the line paused for a moment and asked, "Wait a minute, may I ask, who are you planning to investigate? Everleigh?" When Theodore heard Everleigh's nfrom the other end of the phone, his brows twitched violently. It was as if every tEverleigh's nwas mentioned, it caused a huge surge in his heart.

However, Theodore's tone remained calm and cold. "No." "Who is it then?" "Madison." As soon as he mentioned the name, the other end of the phone went berserk. "What? Did I hear correctly? Who did you say it was?" Theodore expected such a reaction from him.

"You want to investigate Aunt Madison?" Madison was a board member of the Godfrey Group and the former chief financial officer of the Godfrey Group. She was also Wilson Godfrey's ex-wife. He was the ex-president of the Godfrey Group. Furthermore, she was Theodore's biological mother and his cousin, Leon's aunt.

Theodore ignored all the questions and said before he hung up the phone, "Findthe best person for the job as soon as possible. Do it discreetly and watch your mouth." After Theodore hung up, he was in no mood to continue with his documents. It was the first tthat he was tired of the work before him.

He closed the file and walked towards the window. His tall figure was slightly thin and under the light of the sun from the window, a long shadow was drawn on the carpet, which slightly swayed with the shadow of the blinds on one side. Looking down from the window was Ocpeace City's most bustling street. There were many office buildings and the tallest building was Godfrey Group headquarters, which was where he stood. The surrounding buildings were nothing compared to it.

Seven years ago, when he first cback, Madison handed this office to him. She pointed outside and told him that this was everything that a man should pursue - an empire of wealth in the palm of his hand.

No one could have guessed that he inherited the Godfrey Group to kill time. When people do something that dos they are not good at, they would E spend more tconcentrating on it.

They would be so busy and exhausted that they wouldn't have the tto think about anything else.

However, all the work he had was manageable. He stood in front of the huge window and felt a sense of powerlessness.

When you hurriedly try to pass time, twould pass by you too.

It was evening and the city hospital was as packed as ever after working hours.

Everleigh rushed back to the hospital in the afternoon and was called into the conference room to have a m Itation with the specialists from consultation the obstetrics and gynecology department. The hospital admitted at pregnant woman who was pierced by a steel pipe and was in urgent need of a thoracotomy. She was also due for delivery. "The result of the X-ray is here. You see, this steel pipe is only one and a half centimeters away from her main artery. It is too risky to pull it out as it would affect the arteries." Everleigh, who was studying the X-rays, heard what the director of the obstetrics and gynecology department next to her said, "I suggest we do a cesarean section surgery first to keep the child alive."

Everleigh frowned and said, "Director Wood, the patient would be exhausted after dellxeking the baby. Moreover, if she suffers from huge blood loss, the risk of the subsequent surgery would be even greater." "The steel pipe removal and suture operation would take too long. The amniotic fluid of the patient is already broken. If we drag on any longer, the child will suffocate to death and it will be too late." The meeting room fell silent. After a while, Director Wood said, "There are only two options. Let the patient's family decide whether to save the mother or the child." Doctors may not have the best plans when it cto complicated operations. Ultimately, the choice would fall in the hands of the patient or their family.

"Dr. Trevino, please tell the family. After all, you are the primary surgeon. Please explain it to them clearly." Director Wood's voice brought Everleigh back to her senses. She nodded and said, "Okay."
