Everleigh's suffering for so many years was directly related to him.

Why was she the only one suffering, while he was living in comfort? Theodore's dispirited steps nearly caused him to fall to the ground.

His heart had all kinds of emotions as he didn't know whether he should be happy or sad.

At that time, Stainley looked at him with deep eyes and said, "You shouldn't have said it."

"Everleigh's life or death is uncertain, but he kept whining. What right does he have?" Christopher answered. At the same time, he hoped that Theodore could understand that from beginning to end, he had always been in Everleigh's heart.

Whether it was seven years ago, or seven years later, he would never have that chance again.

How could Stainley not know his way of doing things and his intention in it? Although he had made it clear last time, he still didn't feel relieved.

The three men waited at the entrance with complicated feelings.

After Felicia got the news, she went there immediately. Of course, she didn't tell anyone, but she knew very well that the matter wouldn't be hidden for a long time.

"Christopher, how is Everleigh?"

"Why are you here, Felicia?" He asked.

"Can I afford not to come over when such a big thing has happened? Jeez, you can't even protect your own wife," she said angrily.

Someone who couldn't protect his own woman was only a useless person.

Christopher lowered his head and said nothing.

Theodore was silent as well. He prayed in his heart that nothing would happen to Everleigh. At least, he would be given a chance to make things up to her. The four of them stood at the door and waited for a long time. Finally, the light of the operating room went off, and the door was also opened.

Several of them quickly went up to ask Dr. Harrison.

Dr. Harrison swept his gaze across the crowd and sighed softly. "I did manage to save her life, but..."

"But what?" Theodore asked anxiously with his deep gaze fixed on him.

Dr. Harrison's eyes slightly sank, and he said reluctantly, "But her right hand is heavily injured. I'm afraid... It's impossible for her to hold a scalpel in the future." His words were like a bolt of lightning, striking all of their heads open.

They all knew how enthusiastic Everleigh was about the field of medicine. If she couldn't perform any operations, it would be more miserable than dying to her. Christopher's expression was blank. Trembling, he grabbed Dr. Harrison's hand and said in a choked voice, "Dr. Harrison, is there really nothing we can do about it?"

He was silent for a long time before he gently shook his head. "Even I can't replace any other way, let alone ordinary people. However... It's not like there's no way out. Perhaps, there's some other way abroad. It's hard to say."

Theodore took a step back. There was panic in his eyes, as if he hadn't heard what he said just then.

"Thank you, Dr. Harrison." Felicia's face was also not very pleased, but she was the only one who was still rational.

He glanced at her, and was very unhappy at her for thanking him. Why should he be thanked for saving his own disciple?

Wouldn't he feel ashamed then?

She frowned slightly. She wondered why she felt that Dr. Harrison was a little unhappy.

At that time, Everleigh was pushed out. The blood stains on her face had been wiped off, and her little pale face was exposed, with no trace of blood at all.

Both of her eyes were tightly shut. If Dr. Harrison had not said that he was able to save her life, they would have thought that she was dead.

"Send her to the ICU and observe her for the whole night," Dr. Harrison said with an aching heart. His turbid eyes were slightly red.

He had only gone away for a few days. Why did things turn out like that as soon as he just came back?

The news of Everleigh's injury could no longer be concealed. Abraham brought Alastair and Adrienne to visit her. They looked at Everleigh who was lying there motionlessly through the window. Alastair leaned on the window. His pitch-black pupils were filled with tears, but he refused to let them fall down.

Adrienne was also crying while leaning on the window, "Mommy, I want Mommy."

Abraham's brows were also deeply furrowed, and the redness in his eyes was proof of how he felt at that very moment.

Theodore and the rest were also watching. Listening to Adrienne's crying voice, Theodore's heart felt like it was dripping blood.

"Daddy, why is Mommy like that? Tell me, nothing will happen to Mommy, right?" Adrienne raised her head to look at him with a sobbing face.

He felt very upset. He crouched down and hugged her, "Adrienne, don't cry. Your mommy will be fine."

"Sob... I don't believe you, Mommy has never been like that since the past. I want to go back abroad and never come back. After Mommy came back... She would always be sad. I don't... like that," she cried intermittently and spoke in an unclear manner.

Nevertheless, everyone understood what she meant.

In particular, Alastair also wanted to leave this place. So what if he had found his father? In that situation, let alone his own father, even if his ancestors came, he would still be disdainful to them. He wouldn't be polite to whoever bullied his mother.

"Alastair, say something. Let's go back, okay?" When Adrienne saw that no one was speaking, she became even sadder.

Alastair turned around, his face was exactly the same as Theodore's. It was filled with a bone- piercing chill, and the surrounding atmosphere also seemed to become colder.

Felicia, who was standing close to him, felt inexplicably cold.

"Alastair."

"Who did it?" He looked sharply at Christopher.

He lowered his head in shame. He was in the same hospital as her, but he did not know that something had happened to her.

"It was a patient who came to consult Everleigh before, but the patient has no money. She originally wanted the patient to pay for the examination fee, but the person refused and insisted on asking Everleigh to operate on him. The following medical expenses are also very expensive, but..."

"Where is that person?"

"That person was taken away by the police."

Alastair didn't want to listen to those complicated things. The result was that his own mother was lying on the cold hospital bed.

"Christopher, do you still remember what you said before? Now that my mommy is lying inside there, who do you think is responsible for it?" Alastair went straight to the point.

The guarantee he had received in exchange for returning was such a vulnerable thing.

Christopher was also ashamed to look at the children.

"I'm sorry, Alastair."

"Investigate that person's background thoroughly. I don't believe that a normal person would still hurt Mommy when she helped him like that. I think that someone is behind this incident." Alastair's ability to think logically had always been good.

The difference between him and Adrienne were miles apart.

When the others heard his words, they were all shocked. They were all feeling sorry for Everleigh that they had neglected the root of the matter.

"I'll do the investigation," Theodore said in a low voice.

Felicia interrupted directly, "You don't need to do that. You don't need to worry about the affairs of the Meyer family." As she said this, she took out her mobile phone and called someone to investigate. Theodore's face darkened. He felt very displeased. If he didn't know about the truth, he wouldn't have been so sad. However, there wasn't any real relationship between the two of them, yet he was forced to act like an outsider and watch as other people cared for his woman.

"I can also investigate it on my own."

"There's no need for that. Our Meyer family will naturally take charge of this matter as she is the daughter-in-law of our family. You are not qualified to do so," Felicia said.
