Deep Love Hidden From Him

Chapter 207

Leon acted like it was natural and put his hands in his pocket as if he was determined to shake off the responsibility. "Anyway, I don't care about this matter anymore. If you don't come, just let him die alone."

After saying that, he glanced at Everleigh and turned around to leave.

"Hey, are you leaving now?" Everleigh subconsciously chased after him.

"By the way." He turned back and said lightly, "The doctor said that there's still some swelling in his brain and he might fall into a coma at any time. If there's no one around him, it's easy to get into big trouble."

Everleigh's heart tightened. When she came back to her senses, Leon had already gone far away.

Looking back at the door of the ward behind her, Everleigh frowned with mixed emotions in her heart.

According to Leon, the day of Theodore's car accident should have been the same night she dined with him. To be honest, it really had something to do with her. What's more, he was hospitalized because of the ruckus she made.

For the sake of both sentiment and reason, she had no choice but to look after him.

After coming out of the hospital, Everleigh went home.

When she entered the house, Cecil was reading a magazine on the sofa. Hearing the noise, her head popped out from behind the sofa. She said in surprise, "What happened today? Why are you back so early? Is the hospital alright?"

"I came back to get something," Everleigh glanced at her and felt a little guilty. She didn't say anything else and went upstairs.

A few minutes later, she came down with a large handbag, which contained some simple toiletries.

Cecil stuffed a biscuit into her mouth and asked while lying on the sofa, "Are you going to work on the night shift again?"

The handbag was the one Everleigh usually took for a night shift. It had not changed for so many years. As soon as Cecil saw the bag, she knew that Everleigh was going to work overnight.

Everleigh hummed and hawed, "Yeah, I won't be back tonight. Remember to pick up Alastair and Adrienne for me."

"Okay." Cecil agreed and patted off the crumbs on her hands. "They don't need someone to pick them up. They can find their own way home, and they're smart. Don't worry."

After that, Cecil thought of something, "Oh, by the way, Sarah made some soup. Would you like to drink some first? Have you had lunch?"

"She made soup?" Everleigh sniffed and smelt the fish soup.

"Yes, it's in the kitchen. I'll bring it out for you."

"No, I'll do it myself." With that, Everleigh put down her handbag, rolled up her sleeves, and went to the kitchen.

Cecil put on slippers and stood up from the sofa. She dragged herself to the kitchen door and said while walking, "I'm a little hungry too. Pour a bowl for me!"

As soon as her words fell, Cecil saw the thermos on the table. She was stunned and asked, "Why are you packing it?"

"Oh," Everleigh avoided her eyes and said guiltily, "I'm not hungry now. I'll take it to the hospital for dinner."

Cecil was always carefree and rarely thought about things. She leaned against the door frame and yawned. "Okay, leave some of it for me. Sarah told me that the fish soup has

nutritional and healing effects. She also added a few herbs. I always felt spiritless these two days, so it can make up for it."

"Do you still need to make up for it?" Everleigh tightened the lid of the thermos and asked as she ladled out the soup. "You're going to have a nosebleed if you drink more."

"Nosebleed?" Cecil didn't understand for a moment.

Everleigh walked out with the thermos. When she reached the door, she took a look at Cecil's breasts. "If you don't have one, I will!"

Cecil always wore casual clothes at home. At this time, she was wearing a slip nightdress. It was very loose, and it was obvious that she didn't wear anything underneath. But even so, her full breasts were so big that even women couldn't help looking at her.

Following Everleigh's gaze, Cecil looked down and immediately came to her senses. She stood up straight and said proudly, "Are you jealous? It was given by my parents!"

Everleigh rolled her eyes at her. "Go drink your soup."

After that, she took her handbag and walked to the door.

"You're just jealous," Cecil muttered while she went to the kitchen to get the soup. As soon as she opened the lid of the pot, the smile on her face froze.

A few seconds later, she yelled out of the kitchen window, "Everleigh, you took all the soup! What am I going to drink?"

The only response she got was the sound of the engine outside the yard.

Theodore's hospital was an hour's drive from Everleigh's place, so it was not very near. Fortunately, there was no traffic jam on the road. When she arrived at the inpatient department, it just happened that the nurses were serving food.

Theodore leaned against the headboard. On the dining table was the hospital's meal. There were three dishes and a bowl of soup, including meat and vegetables, but it made people lose their appetite.

Hospital meals had always been bland and nutritious, so it was rare for the patients to have delicious food. Everleigh experienced this deeply. She and Christopher had worked in three hospitals, and it was the same in all of them.

Moses was the one who opened the door for Everleigh. He probably came to deliver some documents. When Everleigh left an hour ago, she didn't see a stack of documents on Theodore's bedside.

Seeing Everleigh, Moses showed a kind expression. "Dr. Trevino, you're here. You are...

Everleigh was carrying many things in her hands. At first glance, it was obvious that she didn't just come to visit.

At this moment, Theodore's grip on the spoon tightened a little. His indifferent expression was a little deliberate.

As soon as Everleigh entered the ward, she put down her handbag and put the thermos she brought over on the table in front of Theodore. She said to Moses straightforwardly, "Leon said that he couldn't come for a few days because he had something to do. I've come to accompany him at night."

In fact, these words were not only for him, but also for Theodore. She merely didn't want to directly tell Theodore. Fortunately, Moses was here. Thus she could use him to observe Theodore's reaction.

"That's great. Dr. Trevino, you're a professional at taking care of a patient."

Moses was obviously overjoyed, and what he said was from the bottom of his heart.

However, Theodore frowned and said indifferently, "There's no need for that. You can go back."

Moses, who was standing at the end of the bed, was stunned and looked at Everleigh.

She pursed her lips and braced herself. "I think I'm half responsible for your hospitalization. You've also helped my father, so it's my duty to take care of you."

As she spoke, she conveniently twisted open the thermos and said, "Drink some soup first. This fish soup was made by my housekeeper. She put some herbs in it so it'll be good for your recovery."

Hearing this, Theodore's eyes dimmed a little, and his originally cold and handsome face became more fickle. He said in a cold tone, "I said there's no need."

Everleigh, who was pouring out the soup into a bowl, paused slightly and her expression became more stiff.

"It won't be too hard to hire a nurse." Theodore's voice was calm. "You can leave now."

"Mr. Godfrey, how can a nurse compare with Dr. Trevino? She..." NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

Before Moses could finish his words, he was shocked by Theodore's sharp glare. He shivered in his heart and shut his mouth.

There was a sense of stagnation in the air. Everleigh clenched her fingers and looked

embarrassed.
