Said I didn't Love Him But I Lied
Chapter 437 Giving Up Is Painful

Everleigh closed her lips tightly and a faint light appeared in her eyes. After a long while, she opened her mouth and said, "Stainley helped me a lot over the past few years when I was abroad. I also know that he has feelings for me, but as a friend, I don't want anything to happen to him."

Theodore listened to her words. It was what he expected.

She had always valued friendship and affection. Now that something happened to Stainley, it was only natural that she would not sit idly by and do nothing about it.

"Don't worry. Mr. Lawson won't tell anyone about it. After all, no one knows what happened to Stainley."

She nodded and hoped so too.

The stir was finally over. She was back to her previous job position. The nurses in the hospital were very happy to see her back.

"Dr. Trevino, you're finally back. It's so boring without you."

"Really? You won't feel bored if I come back?" Everleigh asked while changing her clothes.

The nurse nodded. Of course, every time Everleigh came, she would bring a lot of delicious food to share with them.

How could she not know what they were thinking? When people got along with each other, it was not a big deal to share things with the others.

Wasn't it a good thing that everyone was friends with each other?

"Alright, back to work. When the dean comes and sees you standing around, you're doomed," Everleigh said in a teasing tone.

Several nurses looked at each other and quickly returned to their jobs.

Just as they left, Stainley walked over from the end of the corridor. His expression was gentle as usual. He walked up to her and said, "Everleigh." "What's wrong?"

"Let's have lunch together at noon. I have something to tell you," he said softly, with a hint of begging in his eyes.

He was afraid that she would refuse him.

She lowered her eyes slightly, and then agreed.

"Well, I'm going to do the morning rounds now. Let's talk about it at noon," she said with a smile, picked up the medical reports, and went straight to the ward.

Stainley didn't come to his senses for quite some time after she walked away.

The morning passed quickly, and she was so tired that she leaned back in her chair and didn't want to move.

"Everleigh."

"Let's go." She looked at Stainley who was standing at the door, looking as if he had been waiting for her for a long time.

She got up and followed him to the restaurant near the hospital.

She liked that restaurant very much. The food there was full of flavor and was very delicious.

When he ordered her favorite food, she felt extremely hungry and began to gobble up her food.

"Everleigh, thank you for trusting me," he said in a deep voice.

Her hand paused and she quickly responded, "You're welcome. We've known each other for so many years. Shouldn't I already know what kind of person you are?"

Upon hearing this, the corners of Stainley's mouth curled into a bitter smile. Indeed, they had known each other for so many years. They had trust in each other, but why didn't she give him a chance? "Since you know me so well, why don't you give me a chance?" He asked.

He had never asked her about this for so many years. Even if he wanted to express himself, Christopher was the one who would do it for him.

Christopher often knew what Everleigh was thinking. That was why he registered their marriage abroad.

Everleigh knew that Stainley would ask this question, and she also knew that he had pondered for a long time before asking it.

"Stainley, it's not like I had never thought about it. When we first met, I felt like you were a big brother to me. You are easy-going, gentle and kind. You are indeed the best candidate as a boyfriend." Listening to her words, he didn't interrupt, but waited for her to continue.

"But the ideal lover in everyone's heart is different. You are just not my type."

"What if I change?"

"Stainley, you and I are both doctors. Both of us should know that even if a person's appearance changes, the heart won't. Furthermore, I'm on good terms with Theodore right now and I don't want to cause any more trouble." Her intentions were clear. They had a very good relationship now and she didn't want to talk about anything else.

Listening to her words, a sour feeling slowly flowed through his heart.

Although he already knew the answer, he still wanted to give it a try.

"I will not be sloppy when it comes to relationships. You know that well. Why do you keep wanting me to make myself clear?" She asked in a deep voice.

He smiled bitterly. "I feel much more comfortable after hearing you reject me face-to-face. If someone else was to convey your message to me, I might still have some false hope, but today, the hope in my heart will come to an end." "Will you give up?"

"It's hard for me to answer you now. Perhaps I will, perhaps not. You are the woman whom I have been longing for for almost ten years. If you want me to give up all of a sudden, I'm afraid I won't be able to do so." His eyes sparkled as he looked at her.

There was once when he wanted to forget about her, but when he recalled that moment, he could still feel the heart-wrenching hurt.

He deeply understood the meaning of bone-penetrating pain.

He was willing to waste time to hold onto her, but he was not willing to give up on her so easily.

Everleigh didn't know what to say.

She couldn't interfere with a person's way of thinking, but every time he acted like that, she felt very tired.

It was as if something was suppressing her. This kind of feeling had been in her heart for many years.

She was very depressed during this meal and couldn't arouse any interest in anything.

He also knew that she felt troubled, but he couldn't control his inner feelings.

In the afternoon, she went to the company for her research on the new medicines.

Theodore saw that she was still sitting on the chair with the same data in her hand with no progress at all. He walked over and knocked on the table, asking, "What are you thinking about?"

"Hmm? It's nothing," Everleigh replied in a weak voice. She didn't look like she was fine at all.

He knew that she went to see Stainley that day, so he didn't ask more. Instead, he told her that the new medicines she had researched were very effective, and that they could get it listed after the clinical experiment. "This medicine is fine, but how's it going with the machine that I studied before?" She had been worried about the medicine these days. She didn't know what was going on now.

"It's still under research. It was never a big problem from the beginning."

"That's good," she replied softly. At least she had succeeded in one thing.

Time always passed by quickly in the afternoon. Everleigh received a call from Alexander, asking her if she would take Alastair and Adrienne to meet the Jenkins family that night. She agreed.

Things had been settled, so she should take the children there for a visit.

Hearing this, Alexander replied with a smile, "I'll arrange it right away."

The call was overheard by Theodore. "Are you going to meet the Jenkins family?" He asked.

"Well, we've agreed before. They haven't seen the two children yet."

"Do you need me to send you over?"  His charming voice asked. If he could, he would really like to follow them there.

How could Everleigh not understand what he meant? It was just that the Jenkins family held a deep prejudice against him. If it wasn't because of them eight years ago, she might not even have the courage to meet anyone now.
