Everleigh looked at him and remembered that he took her to a racing scene a year ago. Obviously, the woman had something to say, but she was interrupted by Christopher. She knew nothing about his past.

However, she would not ask about it. Everyone had their own secrets, and she was no exception.

No one had the right to pry into anyone's heart.

In the next few days, she went to visit Sanchez as usual. Although he was being treated, the effect was not very significant.

She looked at him with cold eyes as he suffered.

This was especially true when living was worse than death. It would've been unbearable for anyone to watch.

However, she endured it.

"What are you doing there? Come and save me." Sanchez tossed and turned on his bed.

Everleigh was as cold as ice and did not intend to save him at all.

"Why should I save you? You defiled me before. Oh, how I wished for your death," Everleigh said, but her eyes were red and her whole face was ferocious.

He looked into her eyes, and he was dumbstruck. She... She didn't know...

"I didn't touch you. Someone rescued you that day."

Her gaze loosened a little, but she quickly returned to her previous appearance. "If you're telling the truth, then explain where did the marks on my body come from?"

"I'm telling the truth. Someone came and saved you the moment we wanted to touch you. The old man also told us to stop. None of us touched you, I swear," he gasped and his eyes almost rolled backwards. He looked as if he was going to die.

Everleigh clenched her fists and knew that he wouldn't be able to hold on for long, but she hadn't managed to ask who the old man was.

"You could still be lying. There were only a few of you at that time. What old man?"

"That person... was in the car."

"Tell me, what's his name? I'll investigate it myself. I'll save you if you tell me. If you can't, then you're lying." Everleigh stared at him with a cold face. Her voice was like the snow in winter, making people shudder.

"It's... Wilson... You should know him."

When Everleigh heard this, she still couldn't accept it. She had guessed that it was him, but when she heard the name, there was a moment when her brain was frozen.

"Nonsense. There's no bad blood between the two of us."

"If you don't believe me... you can ask my..." Sanchez passed out before he could finish his words. Everleigh couldn't stand it anymore. She quickly pressed the emergency bell and let the nurse in.

When Christopher and the nurse arrived, they saw Everleigh carrying out first aid.

"Get ready for surgery now." She looked calm, just like before.

When Christopher saw her expression, he was shocked, and the corner of his mouth lifted into a shallow arc.

Sanchez was sent in for an operation, but the main surgeon was Dr. Harrison.

Everleigh, on the other hand, was waiting outside. No one knew what she was thinking about on the bench.

She held the voice recorder in her hand and played the contents over and over again.

At first, her heart was still filled with shock, but she gradually regained her composure after a while.

Wilson Godfrey.

Every time she saw this man's face, it was always expressionless and his eyes were gentle. She didn't expect him to be the most wicked of all people.

She held the voice recorder with both hands, and her calm eyes were filled with waves of emotions, like a big stone thrown into the lake, stirring up big waves. When Christopher came over, he saw her sitting alone in a daze.

"What are you thinking about?"

"Listen to this." She handed over the recorder without raising her head.

Christopher took it but did not listen. Instead, he sat quietly beside her and accompanied her.

The two of them sat there until Dr. Harrison came out of the operating room.

Only then did they come back to their senses.

"How is it, Dr. Harrison?"

"He's fine for the time being, but when will you be willing to give him the new medicine?" He asked her calmly; he was not as impatient as before.

She lowered her head and said in a low voice,

"We'll ask when he wakes up later. He still needs to sign the agreement."

Dr. Harrison calmed down even more, when he heard her words.

He seemed to be very satisfied with her attitude.

However, little did he know that Everleigh had gotten what she wanted.

"Okay, he will wake up tomorrow morning." As soon as Dr. Harrison finished his words, Sanchez was pushed out of the operating room and sent to the ward.

When Everleigh walked out of the hospital, she felt the coolness of the autumn wind, just like her heart at the moment. She had never felt that a human could be so cruel to this extent.

He didn't care about a woman's life.

Everleigh was about to leave when she received a call from Theodore. He was waiting for her near the hospital.

She went straight to where he was waiting. It was a new restaurant, and she was really hungry when she smelled the food.

When the waiter saw someone approaching, he asked, "Miss, are you looking for someone or having dinner?"

"I'm looking for someone. Theodore."

"Okay, this way please." Everleigh followed the waiter into a private room. Theodore ordered quite a few things, they were all her favorites. "Are you hungry?"

"Famished." She didn't try to cover up. She sat down and started eating.

The waiter read the room and saw himself out.

She scarfed down the food and choked. Theodore handed some water to her.

"Thank you."

"Take your time. No one's trying to snatch it away from you." His expression was cold, but the concern in his eyes couldn't be concealed.

She drank a big mouthful of water.

As a result, she felt a little pain in her throat.

"Are you tired?" He looked at her tired face and asked.

She lowered her head. Not physically. It was her heart. If she had told him about everything that his father had done in the past, how would he feel?

"Why don't you say anything?"

"No, something happened in the hospital." Everleigh put down her cutleries and had suddenly lost her appetite.

If only Alastair and Adrienne were here. Adrienne could eat a lot.

Theodore's eyes darkened, but he didn't say anything.

The two of them sat there quietly and neither of them spoke to the other.

After an unknown amount of time had passed, he finally spoke in a deep voice, "Everleigh, I'm leaving in a few days. It might be a while before I can come back. Be careful and take care of yourself." She frowned and asked, "Why would you say that?"

"I can't tell you right now. You'll understand in the future. It's best if you don't have a finger in the pie, okay?" Theodore deliberately emphasized the word "have a finger in the pie".

"Did something happen to the Godfrey family?" She thought for a long time before coming up with this reason. "Is Yvonne able to act wildly now that Hansen is fine?"

He didn't answer. Instead, he took a deep breath and said, "You're asking too many questions. Just focus on being a doctor. If you see or hear anything in the hospital, leave it be."
