Deep Love Hidden From Him
Chapter 289

However, Josephine had miscalculated. She forgot that Everleigh was a harsh person who would treat her the same way. Why would she take her threat to heart?

What she wasn't willing to accept was the fact that she loved him as much as Everleigh did, so why couldn't Theodore see the good in her?

Theodore was stunned when he heard her saying that 'Everleigh still loves you in her heart'.

Love him?

Was this true?

The way Everleigh looked at him now was piercingly cold. Sometimes, he really looked forward to her examination, but at the same time, he also wanted to refuse her, all because he didn't want to see those cold eyes of hers.

"So what are you trying to say after all these explanations? You wanted to prove that everything you've done is for me, so you framed her, don't you?"

"Yes, but Theodore, I know that you have me in your heart. Otherwise, why would you, after learning the truth, end our engagement right away, but not call the police?" She came here because of this affirmation.

She had only thought of this after pondering over a long time, because based on his character in the past, he wouldn't have done this to her.

There must be something else.

Theodore felt utmost disgust towards Josephine's delusions.

He only ever had Everleigh in his heart. He knew very well that in the past seven years, he had said that he hated her, but the more he said it, the more he missed her.

The reason why he chose Josephine was because she was willing to be obedient and would not do anything out of line.

Who would have thought that she was the mastermind behind all this? He didn't report her not because he loved her, but because if this matter was ever exposed, Everleigh's secret would be revealed as well. If everyone found out about it, Everleigh wouldn't have been able to live a normal life.

Therefore, he only made Josephine's family suffer from some financial crises.

"Josephine, get out of here right now." "No, why should I go out? You clearly have me in your heart." She refused to leave. No matter how he scolded her, she would not give him up. Theodore pressed the bell, and the nurse came in quickly. Since he was a VIP, the nurse would be responsive and quick-acting. "Yes, Mr. Godfrey. May I assist you?"

"Get this woman out of here."

The nurse nodded and looked at the woman respectfully. "Miss, please leave immediately." "What if I don't?"

"Then we'll have to call for security." Having seen such people frequently, the nurse was naturally unafraid, as she knew someone would back her up, anyway.

"You..." Josephine stared at her angrily, unable to utter a single word.

Theodore's cold voice rose. "If you don't want anything to happen to the Bailey family, then it's best if you just disappear in front of my eyes now."

Josephine's mouth was wide open, and her stare was blank. She had flashbacks of the time spent previously. Those were the uneasy periods of time when even a day felt like a year.

She didn't know what to do.

Under his threat, she could only leave this place. Just after leaving, she saw Everleigh and Christopher walking out of another ward. They were talking and laughing happily.

Seeing this, she ruthlessly scratched along the wall with her long fingernails, adding a few scratch marks on it. Her clear eyes were bright red at this point. If she could, she really would rush over and maul that woman to death.

It was all Everleigh's fault. If she hadn't existed, she would have been respected by tens of thousands of people as Mrs. Godfrey.

How could Everleigh, such a tainted and dishonored woman, become Mrs. Meyer, while she could only be a daughter who was about to fall from grace?

No, she would not accept this. She must do something.

Josephine took a deep breath to suppress her dissatisfaction, coming up with a plan that would make Everleigh disappear completely from the earth.

Then she withdrew her gaze and thought to herself to let Everleigh enjoy being carefree for a few days more. However, just as she was about to leave, she didn't notice that a pair of eyes were staring at her until she was out of sight.

Everleigh had been busy all day and had not taken lunch. When she learned that it was already three o'clock in the afternoon, she thought of grabbing a sandwich to eat.

Just when she was about to dig in, Adrienne's voice came from the door, "Mommy."

"Adrienne? Why are you here?" She asked in surprise.

Grinning, Adrienne turned back to look at Alastair and Selena who were following behind.

Selena was in sportswear and a baseball cap. Her big sunglasses almost covered her face.

"The smell here is really bad. I really don't know why you chose this career," Selena said, disgusted. Everleigh, however, wasn't bothered. "If it wasn't for us, sick people would have nobody to turn to."

Selena snorted. "She always has something to say," she thought.

Adrienne, on the other hand, asked about the taste of her sandwich. She stretched her neck and sniffed it. "Mommy, are you eating only this?"

"Yeah, I haven't eaten anything since this morning."

"Don't eat that anymore. I've brought some snacks for you." Adrienne walked to Alastair's side as she spoke. She opened the bag on his back and took out the biscuits and other snacks. The corners of Everleigh's mouth turned up slightly, and she thought, "This Alastair is certainly a walking treasure bag. He's not physically big at all, but he seems strong."

"Eat, Mommy," Adrienne laid them down one by one, but her pitch- black eyes were still staring at them, and she couldn't help but control her saliva from dripping out. Such a scene made Selena and Everleigh laugh, to which Adrienne grinned sheepishly.

An embarrassed and humored Alastair thought to himself, "It's not like she hasn't eaten anything. What a glutton!"

"Here you go. I'll eat with you," Everleigh opened a box of biscuits and took out one for Adrienne.

Her smile grew wider as she accepted and ate it instantly.

"Adrienne, Alastair."

A male voice came from the door. Everyone in the room looked over and saw Theodore standing at the door with a pale face. Behind him was a person.

Everleigh looked at the person behind him. If that was not Leon, who else could he be?

"Daddy," exclaimed Adrienne with her mouth filled with food. She strode over and held his hand, unwilling to let go.

"When did you come?"

"I just came. Daddy, you don't look well," she looked up to his face.

Theodore's thin lips were tightly pursed, and his gaze was gentle. He carried her up and said, "I haven't been well and I've been receiving treatment. Otherwise, I would have taken you to have ice cream." Selena frowned slightly and glanced at Everleigh. She thought she could see something in her, but she was disappointed. Everleigh seemed expressionless and continued eating. It seemed that whoever was standing at the door had no relations with her.

"Everleigh, you didn't have lunch?" Leon walked over and looked at the food on her table; the smell of the sandwich was still in the air.

Adrienne nodded and said adorably, "Mommy is very tired. She didn't eat on time. Daddy, you have to eat on time or else your health will be bad." "Okay, I got it." Theodore reached out his hand and stroked her head. Her hair was very soft, exactly the same as Everleigh's.

He liked Everleigh's hair very much as well when they were together.

Now...

Alastair stared coldly at him, as if whatever he did had nothing to do with him.

Theodore wasn't angered by this. Alastair tended to have deep thoughts of his own for his age, which was something good for him. In fact, Theodore would be relieved if there could be someone like him by Everleigh's side to look after her.
