Deep Love Hidden From Him
Chapter 329

Seeing her like this, Selena took a deep breath and said, "I don't know either. If you want to know, you can go ask the hospital."

"You're her sister and you don't know where she is?" Cecil asked with her eyebrows furrowed. She knew that Everleigh and Selena didn't get along well but she thought that Selena should at least care for her sister since she was going to Africa. It was a big deal.

Selena cast her a cold glance and said in a low voice, "She didn't tell us when she went. Why should I ask?"

Cecil was at a loss for words but she thought Selena had a point since Everleigh left without informing Selena, who felt angry too.

"Forget it, I'll go check with the hospital."

Cecil did not say a word but turned around and left right away.

Seeing her leave in such a hurry, Alastair and Adrienne felt a little strange. "Where is she going?"

"Don't worry about her; just continue having fun," Selena leaned back on the sofa and said lazily. She felt a little worried because up until that point, Everleigh hadn't called home. It was unknown to them whether she had arrived safely.

It was not that Everleigh did not want to call home but there was barely any signal, and she didn't know when her messages would get delivered.

She simply stopped sending out messages and dealt with her own affairs.

Cecil went to look for Christopher who had been unhappy since Everleigh left.

"Hey, it turns out that Casanova can feel sad too."

Hearing Cecil's voice, he shivered. He turned his head to look at her and asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"

"Of course I came to see you. Give me Everleigh's address," she revealed her intention right away.

He frowned, and his dark eyes were filled with confusion. "Didn't she tell you?"

Upon hearing this, her face darkened instantly. "If I knew it, I wouldn't have to come to you now. Stop talking nonsense and give it to me."

Seeing her being so self-righteous, he could not help but look down at her. As he took out his pen, he said, "Yet you said you two are best friends. You don't even know that she left." He finished writing as he finished speaking.

She grabbed it and looked at the address on it.

"What kind of place is this? It seems bad just by looking at the name of it."

He put his pen back into his white coat and said, "Even if you didn't see her in person, you could have called her to replace out."

"You are really good at talking nonsense. If I knew it, I wouldn't have come looking for you. Do you think I'm thrilled to see you?" Cecil said as she rolled her eyes.

Christopher burst out laughing. He felt that a good man should not fight with a woman. He was too lazy to argue with her.

Just as she was about to leave, he suddenly thought of something and said, "Wait a minute."

"What is it?"

"Didn't you conduct some investigation before this? Have you proved my innocence?"

When Christopher's voice entered Cecil's ears, she trembled all over. "Not yet. We'll talk about it after I go look for Everleigh."

God knew how nervous she was as she said that.

He frowned. Seeing her fleeing figure, he was doubtful of her reply. How could someone from the Hayes family be this inefficient?

As for Cecil, she arranged a trip to Africa.

By the time she arrived there, ten days had passed.

Everleigh's life was officially on the right track and she was busy treating different patients everyday.

Her days were very productive.

She also had other discoveries, which was a special medicine for heart disease. When she had free time to herself, she would do experiments.

On this day, Everleigh took a rest under the shade of a tree outside at noon, drinking a cup of tea. From time to time, she could hear birds chirping in the wild. Such leisurely days had soothed her anxious heart a lot.

"Everleigh." An angry voice came from the side. She looked in the direction of the voice and saw that Cecil was carrying her luggage. She came over from the side with an upset face.

She was very surprised to see her. "Cecil, you..."

Cecil walked toward her with vigorous strides, and Everleigh also took a few steps forward.

"Everleigh, why didn't you tell me you were leaving? Why did you come to such a desolate place? Do you know how long it took me to replace you here?" Cecil couldn't stop complaining once she found her. Everleigh, however, couldn't stop smiling and felt moved. She knew that Cecil was a woman with a sharp tongue but a soft heart. It was not easy for her to come here.

It was really good to hear her voice.

"Cecil, you must be tired. Come, I'll bring you to my dorm."

Cecil instantly passed her luggage to her and said, "Take this. I'm dying from the heat. I came down from the plane and this place looked so dead. Ocpeace City would always be better than this." Everleigh was not annoyed at all. She grabbed her luggage and went to her dormitory.

Since it was her rest time, no one would comment on it.

When Cecil came to her room, she only saw a bed, a mosquito net, an empty table, a lamp, and a few books. On the other side, there was a row of chairs that served as a sofa. "This is so simple and crude."

"It's good enough for me. You haven't seen the places the locals live in." Everleigh poured her a glass of water and placed it in front of her. She fetched the water every morning. It was enough to last her a day.

Cecil realized that Everleigh's skin was more tan but her gaze was no longer depressed. Instead, there was a glow in her eyes. It seemed like she was healing fine over here. "You got tanner."

"It's this hot everyday. It hasn't rained once since I got here, but the breeze at night is cooling," Everleigh explained.

Cecil remained silent for a long time. "Even if you wanted to heal your injury, you could have gone to other cities. Why did you have to come here?"

"I guess it's the environment. There is no fancy lifestyle over here, but it's very peaceful. There are no bright city lights but there is the sound of nature," she explained as the sadness on her face faded away. When Cecil realized that Everleigh had adjusted to the simple life here, she didn't have anything to say. She was glad that she was doing fine.

In the afternoon, Cecil walked around the hospital. She saw some locals and a bunch of them having fun with each other, and she thought that it was not that bad living here.

Everleigh got a meal for Cecil and returned to her dorm.

At the same time, she turned on her mosquito repellant.

"This is what you eat everyday?"

"Yeah, it's not bad. At least there aren't any preservatives."

Cecil looked at the vegetables in the bowl and a few slices of meat that resembled pork.

She lost her appetite in an instant.

"Forget it, I'm not hungry. I brought you some face masks and snacks. You can snack on the food when you're free. I'll mail you some again in the near future but it seems like with the speed of transport here, it might take some time to reach you."

Everleigh looked at the huge bag of face masks and snacks in her hand; it seemed like Cecil had personally hand picked them.

"Have some."

"Of course. I'll treat it as a dish." She grabbed a bag and began to eat happily.
