Deep Love Hidden From Him
Chapter 241

As night fell, the car sped back to downtown Ocpeace City from the suburbs.

On the way, Christopher glanced at Everleigh from time to time. Since she got into the car, she did not speak at all. Instead, she looked out of the window in the passenger seat, lost in thought.

"What are you thinking about?" He was afraid that she would break down and be depressed, so he could not help but ask.

She still rested her elbow on the window and looked out at the rapidly retreating night. "Nothing."

"How about I take a few days off to travel with you?"

"Come on." Everleigh turned to look at him and said, "The medical station in Gansen Village is waiting for you to go back. You won't be able to hide the fact that you snuck back here forever. Just go back after the Thanksgiving festival."

"What about you?"

"What about me?" She replied nonchalantly, "What should have happened has already happened, and it's just a fact."

He looked worried. "Don't pretend in front of me. It's okay if you feel sad. It's no big deal."

Everleigh was silent for a few seconds, and her voice was a little reluctant "What? Do you have to see me cry and drink wine to relieve my sorrows, then only you'll be at ease?"

"I really will be at ease if you do that."

"It won't happen." She took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. Leaning against the seat, she looked out of the window and said, "I am the mother of two children. For their sake, I will not be the same as before. People have to grow up and become mature."

"You don't need to be mature in front of me."

The moment she heard this, she was stunned. Then she turned to Christopher with a warm smile on her face and said, "Thank you. You've stayed with me all these years through everything."

It was not that she had never suffered a mental breakdown. When she first met him, she was pregnant, and her courses were heavy. Later, when it came to the expected date of delivery, she spent the whole night in the laboratory because of problems with the experiment's data and she was under a lot of pressure.

The day before she went into labor, she went to get some water to drink. However, she accidentally knocked over the cup and broke it. Suddenly, she collapsed emotionally and hid in the break room and sobbed loudly.

People could pass through all the difficult moments of life in a calm manner, but they would feel true despair over a broken cup.

At that time, Christopher was the first to discover her. A man, who was usually rowdy, spent a whole night sitting on the floor with her in the tea room. They didn't say anything and just sat there until dawn. Fortunately, he was there that day, so he sent her to the hospital in time to give birth to her children.

After that, she broke down once more. It was the first time when she had heard news that Theodore and Josephine were together, four years after she went to Maniville.

In the paper, there was a photo of two people walking together. Although the photo of Josephine was censored, Everleigh still recognised her at first glance as her best friend.

At that time, Christopher was also with her. It happened that he had to hide from his exgirlfriend, so he took both children to Nihonland with Everleigh.

Were there really such amazing coincidences in the world?

Everything was arranged by an invisible hand so that you could view a bright future.

The swift mountain breeze blew hard outside the window. Meanwhile, Christopher held the steering wheel as he stared at the road in front of him with a calm look. He was totally different from his usual casual behavior. "I think I probably owed you a lot in my last life, so I wanted to repay the favor in this life."

She remained silent.

"It's best if you don't overthink it. After all, it happened so long ago. Since you've told Theodore, let's see what he's going to do about it while you rest for the time being."

"Okay."

"Everleigh, my mother knows that I'm back. She wants our families to have dinner together."

She was slightly stunned.

Christopher's voice was very low. It seemed that he just said this casually and didn't really pay much attention to it, but he didn't even look at her.

After a while, Everleigh said, "Okay, 111 tell my dad."

The next day, it was still the Thanksgiving Festival holidays.

The city hospital had arranged for Everleigh to be on duty and to take care of the patients in the VIP ward, but she directly asked for leave with the hospital and arranged for another doctor to take the shift. In the VIP ward, Helen was sulking early in the morning.

"Madam Scott, please don't be angry anymore. Mr. Godfrey specially asked the servants at home to make your favorite flower cakes. They were sent here early this morning."

Moses put the cakes he brought on plates and placed them near the bedside.

However, Helen waved her hand and pushed them away angrily. "Since when did I love to eat flower cakes?"

"Didn't you say that these were delicious previously?" Moses hurriedly asked.

"That was only because Alastair loves it. He's usually indifferent towards most things, and he doesn't like much else except animals, so it's rare for him to say that he loves this particular cake."

Speaking of this, Helen glared at the direction of the sofa. "Now that they're not here, what's the point of sending flower cakes? I'm old, so there's nothing to be particular about with food."

Theodore had arrived early in the morning. He was afraid that Helen would be too bored in the hospital, so he took the initiative to come over and accompany her. Later in the evening, he would need to take her to the reunion dinner. Since Yvonne was coming, he had a very good idea of what the dinner would turn out like.

At this moment Moses was scolded by Helen, but he did not refute it. Instead, Theodore said to him, "Go and get something lighter for her to eat."

Moses nodded awkwardly and walked out with the cakes in hand.

Helen became even angrier when she noticed that Theodore seemed to avoid the topic at hand. "Do you really not know what I'm saying, or are you just pretending?"

"Grandma, Alastair and Adrienne don't belong to us. It's impossible for them to come here everyday."

"What? They're your children." Helen's face was gloomy. "Forget about Adrienne, but Alastair is your spitting image. Can't you tell?" However, Theodore let out a bitter laugh and didn't say anything.

Seeing that he was so stubborn, Helen directly threw a pillow at him and said, "I'm going to die of anger! Get out of here. You're just pissing me off."

In the living room of the suite, Moses and the nurse were preparing a light breakfast. When they saw Theodore leaving the bedroom, they paused for a moment. "Mr. Godfrey, are you leaving?" Theodore nodded and cleared his throat with a pale face. He reminded the nurse, "Grandma's in a bad mood. I'm so sorry for the trouble."

It was rare for him to be so kind, which startled the nurse. "That's my job. Don't worry, Mr. Godfrey."

Theodore nodded his head slightly. When he walked out, he was inexplicably in a panic. His steps were not as steady as usual. It was as if he had aged ten years overnight and he looked utterly lost the entire morning.

After Moses followed him out, he saw Theodore holding onto the wall and coughing. The handkerchief he took out was stained with blood and it was a ghastly sight.

"Mr. Godfrey, do you really not need to see a doctor?" Moses asked apprehensively.

However, Theodore acted as if he hadn't heard anything. He threw the handkerchief into the trash can beside him and asked in a hoarse voice, "How's your investigation going?
