Deep Love Hidden From Him
Chapter 267

Alastair looked at Adrienne out of the corner of his eyes, then continued to look at his phone. He wasn't watching the cartoon, but he was looking at the information he had discovered. He wanted to figure out what was going on.

The next day, Christopher went to the nightclub again. This time, Cindy came very early and she had ordered a few glasses of wine.

"You're late today."

"I'm just worried that you wouldn't want to see me." He spoke, but he had already picked up his wine glass and took a sip of it.

She chuckled, and the smile on her face was evident. Instead of answering him, she stretched out her hands and placed them on his shoulder. The perfume she wore was pungent, giving him a strong indication of what she wanted.

"Miss Cindy, where is the medicine?" Christopher recoiled as he turned his head and said coldly.

She took out two packages of medicine from her bag and said with a charming smile, "I am giving you extra for your generosity."

"Thank you, Miss Cindy." He picked up the glass and drank it up with a toast to her.

"This medicine..."

"The last dose of this medicine will make people forget everything after drinking it. I feel that this is more suitable for your purposes. However... I prefer..." As Cindy said that, one of her hands started sliding down his chest. Her intentions were very obvious.

However, he stood up and handed his card to her directly, and said, "I'm sure you can take it from here."

"Of course." Her eyes lit up. She took the card and winked at him.

He felt that it was a waste. Had she not been an employee here, he might've fooled around with her, but she was much too filthy for his liking.

The next day, Everleigh went to work and saw Christopher asleep in his chair.

She recalled that he mentioned something about seeing a woman. It seemed like he hadn't had a good rest for a long time.

"Hey, go back to sleep if you're really tired."

"I've been absent from work for two days. If I don't go, the dean will reprimand me," he said without opening his eyes.

Sitting in her chair, Everleigh took a deep breath before she picked up the pen and continued to write in the casebook. While writing, she said, "Felicia said that she has already invested in the hospital. If you create trouble again, she will definitely come for you. By then, don't blame me for not helping you."

Upon hearing this, Christopher became angry. "You really don't have a conscience. Who do you think I am doing this for?"

Then, Everleigh raised her head and stared at him intently. He felt a little uncomfortable at her gaze. "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"A nurse went to file a complaint about you while your sister was negotiating with Mr. Lawson. Do something about it."

As soon she ended her sentence, he went up in front of her and said, "We've known each other for so long now, so why don't you help me out of this..."

Everleigh opened her mouth to say something but the door was opened before she could speak. Both of them cast their eyes on the newcomer and he was stunned by their actions. Christopher held her hand and was on one knee, and she seemed to be a little angry as she sat on the chair.

"What are you guys doing?" Stainley looked at their behavior and found it a little amusing.

"Nothing."

Stainley exhaled deeply. After all these years of him watching the way both of them acted around each other, he no longer found it weird.

"I bought breakfast for you. Have some." He walked over and opened the bag he was holding. The aroma of the food filled the room, causing their stomachs to grumble immediately. "Then I am going to eat my fill." Christopher was indeed hungry. He picked up his fork and began to eat in large mouthfuls.

Everleigh, on the other hand, ate more gracefully.

However, only after a few mouthfuls of food, patients started rushing in and the three of them had no choice but to attend to their needs. Hence, they left the food aside as a result. When Mrs. Godfrey learned that the Meyer family had intervened in the hospital's affairs, she was so angry that she smashed everything that she could get her hands on at home. 'Mr. Lawson, you good-for-nothing, did you forget the times I helped you?" Madison said angrily.

On the other hand, Josephine tried to calm her down, "Aunt Madison, you don't have to be angry. Wouldn't that save you a lot of money?"

"Hmph, I don't care about the money." Madison looked at her scornfully, questioning her ignorance.

Josephine gritted her teeth and she was furious at Madison. All she did was advise her with good intentions, but she did not expect that she would be mocked in the end. "Call Theodore and tell him to come back tonight." Madison wanted to ask him about his plans.

The butler didn't dare say no and went to make a phone call.

At this time, Everleigh was exhausted as she didn't even have a sip of water throughout the whole morning. In the meantime, Stainley gave her a cup of water considerately. "Take a rest. I'll go and have a look later."

"No, I can do this myself."

"You've been working hard for the entire morning, I'll go."

However, she felt uneasy that Stainley still cared for her. The last thing she wanted was to owe him favors, but this time...

"Stainley, do you have something you want to say to me?" She felt that it was better to clear things up.

She did not want it to go on like this.

His expression froze. When he raised his head, he could not hide his love for her.

"You should know what I'm thinking. I've said it before, I'll wait for you."

The last thing Everleigh wanted to hear was that, but unfortunately, it was exactly what he said to her. In recent years, she had been avoiding this question because she didn't want to hurt him. Otherwise, she wouldn't have chosen Christopher to marry her.

"Stainley, I think you know full well how I feel. Why waste your time on me?"

Then, Stainley looked down with a smile on his lips. "You can reject me, but I also can insist on waiting for you. Everleigh, I know very well how you have been doing these past few years. I felt like I have failed because I couldn't even take good care of you."

She opened her mouth, but she lost her words for a slight moment. She did not want to talk about it further "Then you don't have to look after her anymore." A voice came from the door.

Both of them were shaken by Theodore's sudden appearance. It felt like they'd been thrust into a freezer.

Both of them looked over and saw him standing by the door looking gloomy, and Alastair and Adrienne were beside him.

"Mommy, Uncle Stainley," Adrienne said in a childish tone. She walked over and hugged Stainley. "Uncle, why didn't you come and visit me?"

"I've been busy recently. I'm off the day after, so I will take you out for a spin." He held Adrienne in his arms and spoke to her gently.

Everleigh saw Theodore's grim expression and felt like Stainley would be dead if looks could kill. She snorted in her heart and thought to herself, "Why the long face, Theodore?"

He seemed to have understood her gaze and his expression turned even gloomier. Alastair, who was standing next to him, could feel that something was wrong with him too. "Mommy, are you done with work?"

"Not yet. I still have something on later in the afternoon. What can I do for you?" Everleigh looked at him.

"Grandpa wants to meet up for dinner. He wants to know when you will be done with work." Alastair spoke steadily, quite unlike all his peers.
