Theodore's attitude showed that he wouldn't show any mercy towards anyone. He finally realized that being kind to others would cause his loved ones to be bullied by others. If anyone still dared to argue with him, then, he would make them be lost for words.

"Wait. Theodore, you can't do this. We're all partners of the Godfrey family..." The old man said loudly as he realized that he had said something wrong.

However, he couldn't bring himself to apologize.

Theodore raised his eyes and said with a smile that didn't seem like one, "That's all in the past. I've had enough of you guys meddling in my business." After saying that, he didn't bother with their thoughts anymore. He stood up and left the meeting room.

In the hospital, Everleigh had been silent and hadn't eaten for a whole day. Adrienne sat beside her and kept crying. When Stainley went to visit, that was the scene he saw.

Christopher and Abraham couldn't do anything about it either.

"Everleigh, why don't you eat?" Stainley approached and looked at the table full of delicious food that showed no signs of being eaten.

She remained silent, as if she didn't hear anything.

"Stainley, don't say anything more. Give her some space. She will start eating when she straightens things out." Prior to that, Christopher had said a lot of things to her, but it had no effect on her in the end. He could only pray that she would come out of her heart soon.

As a result, a day passed but she still remained in that motionless position.

Alastair couldn't stand it anymore and said softly, "Mommy, when will you be willing to accept reality?"

"I'm very sad now. Don't disturb me now okay? Give me a few days." Everleigh's voice sounded like a pot being scratched, piercing to the ear.

He didn't like how she was acting. They had gone through the hard days abroad; why would such a small thing matter?

She also wanted to be more open-minded, but when she felt that she still couldn't feel anything in her right hand, she inexplicably felt anxious. She kept thinking about how to survive the future days!

What else was there for her to look forward to in the future?

Alastair fell into silence.

When Christopher sent them back, Everleigh was still keeping silent, as if she didn't hear anything.

She was left alone in the quiet room.

At that moment, Moses walked in from outside and called out respectfully, "Miss Trevino."

Everleigh turned her head and looked at him, feeling a little strange about his arrival.

"Miss Trevino, Mr. Godfrey asked me to bring these to you. He said that one apple per day is good for your health, and these are the flowers you like most. Also, these are some medical books. Of course, it is up to you whether you want to read it or not as you are a specialist in this field."

He couldn't stop talking.

She looked at the things in his hands and opened her mouth, but she didn't say anything.

"I'll leave first. Please have a good rest." He put the things on the table and left.

She stretched out her hand to take the medical books in front of her. Those books were all about hand injuries.

There were all kinds of cases in them.

Her eyes dimmed. She used to be able to perform such a surgery with a scalpel, but now, they had all become mere memories.

The next day, Moses showed up again. This time, with delicacies in hand. He still brought an apple and flowers.

He left after he placed everything.

Everleigh looked at the apple and flowers as Theodore's handsome face appeared in her mind.

When Christopher went to visit, he saw those things, "It seems that you know that I am hungry so you specially ordered me some food."

He didn't show any modesty. He immediately opened the box of food and ate it. He had to admit that the food was very delicious.

Everleigh's stomach started to growl when she saw him eating. She hadn't eaten anything for two days. When she smelled the scent of food and heard the sound of him eating food, she became really hungry. His mouth was full of grease. He said with a silly smile, "You must be hungry. Come on, I didn't touch this part. Quickly eat it." He brought the box of food to her as he spoke.

She wanted to take the cutlery to eat, but Christopher stopped her, "Don't move. You're the patient, so you have to be fed. I can only show my care for you as your husband." When she heard that, she didn't smile at all. On the contrary, her heart became even heavier. She knew that he wanted her to be happy.

She was afraid that she wouldn't be happy anymore in the future.

"Ah..." He took out a spoon and he wanted to feed it into her mouth.

She opened her mouth and chewed carefully. It tasted like the food from the restaurant near the university.

"This tastes good. Where did you buy it?" He didn't know who sent those things. He thought that Cecil or Abraham had brought them here.

She didn't say anything, but tears started to gather in her eyes. She took the spoon with her left hand and stuffed the food into her mouth as tears fell down from her eyes. When Christopher saw her eating like this, he had an unspeakable feeling in his heart, "Everleigh."

She continued eating and didn't stop until she finished eating.

"Give me a glass of water." She ate too quickly and her stomach felt a little uncomfortable.

Due to the fact that she hadn't eaten for two days, her body couldn't bear it if she ate so much suddenly.

He stood up to pour some water for her, but he was interrupted by a voice, "I'll do it."

The two of them looked over and saw Cecil coming in. She put down the flowers in her hands and went to pour some water.

"Have you accepted the situation and moved on?"

Everleigh gave a wry smile as she recalled the taste of the past.

"Since you are here to accompany her, then I will go to work." The first thing Christopher did when he went to work recently was to visit her.

Cecil didn't reply to him. She sat next to Everleigh and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Everleigh, Madison has completely left the Godfrey family."

Everleigh didn't show any expression. She didn't care about how Madison was.

She once wanted to return and take revenge, but now, revenge was not so important anymore.

"Oh." "Oh? Everleigh, you are one step closer now. Do you understand?" Cecil was very dissatisfied with her attitude. It was just that she couldn't hold a scalpel for the time being, right? It didn't mean that she couldn't hold one for the rest of her life?

What was more, compared to Cecil's life, she was already much luckier.

"Cecil, is this important?"

"How is this not important? Have you forgotten the purpose of your return? Everleigh, it's just a hand. It's not broken. It's just that you won't be able to hold a scalpel for the time being. It doesn't mean that you wouldn't be able to hold one for the rest of your life, right? So, why are you clinging so tightly to it? I know that your dream is ruined, but there is still hope."

Everleigh's thin lips squirmed, but she didn't say anything. Her eyes became even more dimmed.

Cecil turned her head and felt very distressed upon seeing her state.

"Everleigh, you can keep being depressed, but I hope that you can understand that most of the time, the more depressed you are, the more dissipated your personality will be. By then, your dreams will also vanish. What's life without any disasters? Everyone is the same. You should just regard this incident as one of life's hardships. Sooner or later, another window of opportunity will surely show up for you to grasp."
