Deep Love Hidden From Him
Chapter 394

The truth was, Galen was shocked to learn about Sanchez's death. He knew all the while that Sanchez had worked for that old wicked man. He was the one who received money from Wilson before they

proceeded to take any action.

He guessed that he must have said or done something to be killed.

Otherwise, why would the car accident happen the exact day he was discharged from the hospital?

Galen didn't look into it, and he didn't want to. He'd rather focus on being alive while he still could.

After all, his days were numbered.

"Didn't they come and visit you?" Everleigh asked.

"They used to do so when Sanchez was still alive, but now that he's dead, no one knows what will happen next. They have to hide to avoid being killed," he answered.

"Maybe this is exactly what the person who killed Sanchez wants, to warn the rest of you," she guessed.

"It doesn't matter. To run away and stay hidden is the wisest choice; it would definitely bring them less trouble."

She felt that what Galen said made sense. It seemed that there was no way for her to replace out the truth.

"Miss Trevino, I know you are looking for evidence. If you can replace Derick, you can definitely get the evidence," he added.

She lowered her head. She didn't say a single word. It all didn't matter anyway. She thought she could replace someone to testify against Wilson, but it clearly wouldn't work. Everleigh headed upstairs dejectedly. Theodore and Alastair were chatting. Seeing that she wasn't looking fine, Alastair asked in a hurry, "Mommy, what's wrong?"

"Nothing." She sat on the sofa. She was wondering if she should start replaceing Derick.

Theodore frowned and asked in a deep voice, "What's wrong? Is something troubling you?"

"No, I'm just thinking about something. Anyway, have you all eaten? I'll go get lunch," she replied as she got up.

Adrienne grabbed her by her coat. "Mommy, there's no need for that. Daddy has already asked someone to send us some food. We're just waiting for you." She then pointed at the dishes on the table, and drooled.

She couldn't wait to dig in.

Everleigh looked over to the table; there were five or six containers of food. It was a little too much for the four of them.

"Wow, that's a lot of food."

"Daddy said that you'll be tired from work, so he asked them to prepare more. Mommy, you have to eat more." Adrienne opened the lunch boxes excitedly. They were all Everleigh's favorite dishes. "Why did you get so much food?" Everleigh asked.

"If you like the food, just eat more. You have another shift in the afternoon, right? Hurry up and eat," Theodore got down from his bed and started setting up the table.

The four of them enjoyed lunch on the sofa.

Everleigh had some food, and was already full. If the conversation with Galen didn't happen, she might have had a better appetite. She felt worse after talking to him.

Looking at her worried expression, Theodore couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? Just tell me." "I'm just thinking if there is a way for me to let my patients stay alive a little bit longer," she replied with a frown.

She didn't look fine at all.

"Death is inevitable. It's all part of life. There's nothing you can do about it. Why don't you make

their remaining time much more memorable and enjoyable?" He suggested.

She glared at him. She obviously knew that death was inevitable. She was just trying to let Galen stay alive for a few more months, as he was an important witness who could testify against Wilson in court. "I'm full. I have to get back to work. My shift will end earlier today so let's talk about it later," she said.

"Mommy, just get back to work. I'll take good care of Daddy," Adrienne said adorably, with her cute little hands waving around, as if she was trying to chase Everleigh out of the ward.

She squeezed out a smile, and left the ward.

After she left, Adrienne walked over and sat beside Theodore. "Daddy, when will you finally set things straight with Mommy?"

Theodore choked on his water upon hearing her question. "What did you just say?"

"There's this show on TV. They said if you like someone, you have to be with them. You and Mommy already have both Alastair and me. Shouldn't you guys be living together already?" She asked in a confused

manner.

The corners of Theodore's mouth twitched slightly. How did his daughter know about things like that? He was puzzled.

Alastair frowned too. "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Isn't it correct, Alastair? Mommy likes Daddy too, doesn't she? If not, why did she stay back last night to take care of him?" She asked.

Theodore and Alastair looked at each other. Neither of them wanted to respond to her words.

Adrienne didn't feel awkward at all, and just continued with her opinion.

Everleigh gave Christopher a call as soon as she got back to her office. She believed that it'd be better to get his opinion on it.

"Hello? Shouldn't you be taking a nap in the afternoon?" He answered the phone blearily.

She was stunned. "Did you stay up late last night?" "Nope, it's just that the weather here is so hot that it's making me sleepy," Christopher only found out that it was Everleigh who called after he heard her voice.

She looked out the window. The weather wasn't really hot, but she had forgotten that she was sitting in an air-conditioned room.

"Why are you calling me?"

"I just want to know if you've made any progress in replaceing Derick," she replied.

"Why are you suddenly asking about this? Did that man tell you everything?" His tone became cold, and he was no longer sleepy.

"Yes, he told me everything, but he has no clue about Derick. He hasn't seen them ever since he fell sick. He told me that Derick most likely knows the truth about Sanchez's death, so I want to look for him," Everleigh said.

"I haven't been slacking off in replaceing them, but these people are just too cautious, I can't seem to track them down." Christopher's head ached as soon as he talked about it. It had been such a long time, but he still couldn't replace a lead.

As a matter of fact, he considered himself a failure.

"Don't worry. Just take your time, as long as we can replace them. Anyway, Wilson and Yvonne are getting a divorce lately, and things are getting pretty messy over here. I'd be really glad if they don't give me any trouble."

She let out a sigh. She wasn't really in a hurry to replace Derick.

"Divorce? Wow, Yvonne is finally willing to let it go," he said mockingly. Back then, Wilson and Yvonne caused so much trouble when they first fell in love. It was indeed a surprise to hear that they were filing for divorce.

"Why do you sound so happy about it?" "Happy? It's sarcasm. It seems to me that every love story will eventually come to an end. Take Yvonne as an example. She was called a b*tch for nearly two decades just because of Wilson, and now, everything is just going in vain," Christopher raised his voice.

Everleigh felt that he had gone a little overboard. Why was he so excited to learn that someone else was getting a divorce? She couldn't understand.

"Alright, let's stop here. You can go back to sleep now." She certainly didn't give him a call to gossip about someone else's love life.

She was more concerned with the trouble she was facing.

Derick Lawson.

Hopefully it wouldn't take too much trouble to replace him.

"Hey, let's chat a little longer.... Hello... Can you hear me?" Christopher was still calling out over the phone, but Everleigh wasn't in the mood, so she hung up the phone.
