Deep Love Hidden From Him
Chapter 153

Since the day she returned to the country, the phrase "seven years ago" had a special meaning to Everleigh. On any occasion, when she heard the phrase, she would be stunned and thought of her own predicament.

The phrase Yvonne mentioned seemed to have no connection with Everleigh. Based on the inference from the timeline, Yvonne should have been pregnant with Hansen.

Pregnant with Hansen?

"That's enough," Wilson's voice interrupted Everleigh's thoughts. The figure opposite her suddenly stood up, and a shadow fell on her, calling her consciousness back. Wilson's expression was as calm as usual. He picked up the suit jacket hanging aside and said, "I have an appointment with Mr. Gabriel to discuss some projects." Yvonne kept silent until Wilson left. Her hand on Everleigh's shoulder suddenly tightened. She concentrated all her energy on that hand.

Everleigh was stunned. She turned her head and saw Yvonne's forbearing face. Her beautiful eyes were full of tears.

"Yvonne," Everleigh called out to her in surprise.

Yvonne covered her mouth and choked on her sob.

Everleigh helped her sit, took out a tissue and handed it to her. "Fortunately, nothing happened to Hansen. Don't be upset."

"That's not what I'm upset about," Yvonne wiped her tears and she completely lost her composure. "I'm sad because Wilson can't even lift a finger as Hansen's father. I've endured this for years, just for the sake of yearning for a better life. I don't want to create problems and trouble myself. I'm stupid for enduring all of these, but Hansen is too young to..."

Everleigh patted Yvonne's shoulder and silently listened to her vent.

The woman who was resentful was far from what her first impression of her was. Yvonne was pure and kind. Christopher was right. The Godfrey family was indeed a man-eat-man place. Even if Yvonne did not intend to fight and had been neglected by the Godfrey family, she still couldn't escape from this disaster.

Stepping out of the ward, Everleigh sent a message to Christopher, "Where are you?"

"In my office," he replied.

"I'm coming to replace you."

Seven years ago, Yvonne was pregnant with Hansen. It happened that Xavier had a car accident, thus losing his place as the heir to the Godfrey family. If Yvonne's first child was a baby girl, it wouldn't pose a threat to Madison. The unknown s*x of the baby was a time bomb for Madison.

In Christopher's office, Everleigh leaned against the chair as she was deep in thought. "I didn't think much about it at first, but now it seems that Yvonne was pregnant seven years ago. Madison sensed it as a threat. That was why she was so anxious to get Theodore back to take over the Godfrey Group."

"I've already told you. What else do you still have doubts about?"

"I want to investigate what happened when Hansen was born."

Christopher's eyes narrowed and said, "What doubts do you have?"

"Yvonne said that when Hansen was born, she suffered from labor dystocia and was involved in an unnatural accident," Everleigh said.

"Do you think that it has something to do with Madison?" "She has the biggest motive," Everleigh said.

She held the arm of the office chair, and her eyes were calm and firm. "Although it has nothing to do with me, the more evidence we have on her, the more people will get involved. We'll need to drive them off the cliff. It will be easy."

Christopher was silent for a while. "Well, I'll take care of it."

It was busy in the afternoon. Everleigh had to attend to patients and perform two operations. She only came out of the operating theatre when it was dark out and she was completely exhausted.

As soon as she returned to her office and sat for a while, the phone inside her pocket rang.

"Hello?"

"Dr. Trevino, you finally answered the phone." A familiar voice came from the phone. Everleigh subconsciously looked at the caller ID, but it was an unknown number.

"I'm Moses, Mr. Godfrey's assistant."

Everleigh paused for a moment, "What's the matter?"

"Do you have time now? Would you mind coming to the Godfrey Mansion?"

Theodore once lived in the Godfrey Mansion. Everleigh went there once after she returned to the country. During that time, she also left in discord.

Moses's voice sounded a little anxious. Everleigh frowned and said, "What happened?"

"Mr. Godfrey has a fever, and it's really serious."

Everleigh clenched her phone tightly when she heard what he said.

After separating on the beach, Theodore never contacted her. She didn't look for him either. She was not suppressing any intentions. She was still working on the kidnapping case. The police also needed her to cooperate with the investigation. On the other hand, she was busy with work.

It was already late at night. The neon lights on both sides of the road leading to the Godfrey Mansion illuminated the whole city. The city appeared more grandiose than it was in the daytime.

At the entrance of the mansion, Moses had obviously been waiting for a long time.

"Dr. Trevino."

"Where is he?" Everleigh was led into the living room. She didn't see anyone, not even a servant. The ambience was completely different from the last time she came.

"Mr. Godfrey is in the bedroom," Moses said. He glanced at Everleigh and seemed to understand her doubts. He explained, "Mr. Godfrey did not want anyone to know about his involvement in the kidnapping case. Hence, the servants were all on leave these two days. Even the butler was sent away."

Everleigh frowned, but she had no time to think about it. She went upstairs holding a first aid kit.

The lights in the bedroom were dim. The only source of light was from the floor lamp. The scent of lavender in the room was probably for tranquillity. Unfortunately, it could not cover the smell of disinfectant in the air.

As a doctor, Everleigh was very familiar with this scent and she thought to herself, "Is he injured?"

As she spoke, she stepped towards the bed.

Theodore laid on the bed with his eyes tightly shut. His stone- cold eyes were hidden. He was able to sleep soundly, albeit not being calm. He didn't wake up even after someone came in.

Moses followed closely behind. He lifted a corner of the blanket cautiously, revealing Theodore's naked chest. His left abdomen was wrapped in bandages, with blood seeping out, staining the bandages pink. Everleigh's eyes narrowed, "When did it

happen?"

"It happened on the beach that day. Don't you know?"

"No."

On that day, not long after she found Theodore on the beach, she heard the sounds of the police cars and ambulances. Theodore saw Yvonne from afar and left without saying anything.

At that time, she didn't notice that Theodore was injured.

"Mr. Godfrey was afraid that things would get messy, so he has been hiding it from his family. He was injured and refused to go to the hospital. If he hadn't had a fever, I wouldn't have called you."

Moses's voice came from her side.

Everleigh began to untie Theodore's bandages as she heard Moses speak. Although she seemed calm, her heart was racing.

"Did he wrap these bandages himself?"

"Yes."

Moses didn't see the mockery in Everleigh's eyes and didn't understand why she smiled bitterly as she unwrapped the bandage.

"What else do you need? I'll get it ready."

"There's no need."

"Then, I'll head out. Call me if you need anything."

"Alright."

The room fell into complete silence. Everleigh observed the wound on his left abdomen. The wound was very deep. Blisters and ulcers were prominently seen.

Everleigh's temple was throbbing.

She thought to herself, "Oh d*mn, why didn't he save himself? He was seriously injured but he wanted to settle things on his own. Did he really think that he was some bogus doctor since he went to medical college with me?"
