Chapter 563
Chapter 563
Selena had made up her mind, and she didn't need anyone's help.
Everleigh saw her determination, and she decided to keep any opinions she had to herself. Maybe she'd really thought it through.
It was all decided. Abraham understood what Selena meant. He just wanted to find himself an heir. He had no son, and no matter who she married, this company belonged to her.
Leon smiled, but his eyes were full of distress. If it wasn't for him, Selena would continue to shine on the stage.
Unfortunately... It was all messed up by him.
As expected, when Caelan took over the company, the first thing he did was to prohibit Selena from acting.
As soon as the news broke out, her fans went crazy. They simply couldn't believe that she would be boycotted for making no mistakes.
A lot of controversies were sparked on the Internet. Looking at these comments, Everleigh also commented that this was the decision of the entertainment company.
They made the decision privately.
This sentence was like a wave of ripples on the calm lake, causing a counterattack from all the netizens.
Countless phone calls then rattled the company to its core.
Everleigh called Selena, saying, "Hey, did you see the messages? You have a die-hard fan base."
"I'm so moved by what I've seen." Selena sat in the chair and looked at the happenings on her computer. She was more or less disappointed. She could have stepped onto the stage, but now...
Everleigh heard the disappointment in her tone. She understood that it wasn't all roses for her to give up her dreams.
Theodore came to pick Everleigh when she got off work. He couldn't help but ask, "Did you see the news?"
"Yes, Selena's words have come true."
He smirked. "Actually, there's something you might not know. Why would Caelan simply want to hide Selena in the shadows? He wanted to destroy her, but thanks to her disciplined self-care and clean image, he doesn't stand a chance."
She was speechless. "Should I thank Selena for her spotless image?"
When the two of them returned to the Trevino family home, Leon and Abraham were studying matters of the company, with grave expressions on their faces.
They seemed to have encountered some kind of problem.
Everleigh glanced at Theodore. "Go over and take a look. I'll go help out in the kitchen."
"Alright." When he heard that she was going to the kitchen, a trace of a smile appeared in his eyes. He knew that she was just trying to be helpful, though it didn't really help in the grand scheme of things.
When she entered the kitchen, she saw that Selena had begun to cook.
"You're really amazing. I, on the other hand, am awful at this," Everleigh said with a smile.
"That's true. It's better for you to wait for the food. I'm afraid the kitchen will blow up," Selena teased her.
She didn't mind; what she said was right. She could learn anything but cooking skills.
During the meal, Everleigh's phone rang. It was from Stain ley.
"What's wrong, Stainley?"
"I'll be on my way." Everleigh's face lit up with joy. She quickly hung up the phone and ran to find Theodore. "Theodore, the hospital just called. Xavier is awake."
He raised his head, a hint of shock appearing in his eyes. Without hesitation, he picked up his jacket and pulled her towards the hospital.
Leon was also surprised. He had been expecting the worst for Xavier after seeing him have multiple trips to the emergency room. He didn't expect that he would wake up.
The two of them arrived at the hospital. Xavier had his eyes wide open, waiting for Maxwell to examine him.
Maxwell looked at Everleigh coming over and said with a measure of excitement in his tone, "Everleigh, this is a miracle. He has such a heart disease, yet he is still able to wake up from it."
She was excited. Looking at Xavier, who was thin and weak, she couldn't hide the joy in her eyes.
Theodore walked up to Xavier, faint joy appearing on his cold face.
Xavier said slowly in his hoarse voice, "Theodore..."
"It's good that you've woken up." Theodore held his hand. He was so excited that he didn't know what to say.
Maxwell gave him a thorough examination and signaled Everleigh to follow him out of the ward.
She understood and followed him out. "Everleigh, his body has been examined. Although he is awake now, there are still problems with his heart. If he continues like this..."
"I understand. My medication can only delay his situation from becoming worse. It's not very likely that I'll be able to completely cure him." Her worries had happened. She hadn't told Theodore about this. She was only afraid that he would be worried.
She had always thought that it would be a good thing for Xavier to remain unconscious. At least he would not have to suffer much pain, but now...
"You don't have to be discouraged. There are quite a few miracles in the world. Furthermore, Xavier is tenacious. If it was anyone else, they would probably have long failed." Maxwell could tell that she was feeling despondent.
Birth, old age, sickness, and death had become the norm in the hospital. He was reaching old age, and he was even more indifferent to this kind of thing. Eventually, he would also leave. It was just a matter of time.
Maxwell patted her on the shoulder and said, "Go in and see what you need. Do as you see fit."
Everleigh nodded, turned and went in. Although Xavier had already woken up, he couldn't be disconnected from the machines, especially his heart.
"Xavier, how do you feel now?"
"I'm hungry." He was really hungry and had no strength. He wanted to eat something, especially meat. When he had been in a coma, he was thinking about eating something delicious.
She listened to his words and couldn't help laughing. Indeed, he was starving. Previously, he'd relied on the nutrient fluid, as he couldn't eat anything.
"You can't eat anything right now. Let's talk about it when you're better." Theodore was speechless as well. He could tell what was going on just by looking at his thin face.
Xavier nodded. His voice was hoarse, like glass being scraped at. It sounded very harsh. "I'm a little sleepy."
"Take a rest first, and I'll come back for your examination tomorrow," Everleigh said softly. Now that he had woken up, it might be too overwhelming for him.
Sleep was the best way to recuperate.
When the two of them returned to the Trevino family home, everyone was present. Even Alastair and Adrienne were waiting for them on the couch.
"How's it going?" That was the first sentence Leon asked when he saw them. He was eager to know about Xavier's conditions.
He was much older than his cousin. Perhaps he was not close with him, but he didn't want anything bad to happen to him either. NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
"He is awake now. A detailed examination will be carried out tomorrow," Everleigh said softly, and the joy in her tone could not be concealed.
When they heard the news, they all heaved a sigh of relief. It was good that there was nothing too serious.
The next day, Everleigh and Theodore came to the ward. Before they could even enter, they heard Madison's words. "You're finally getting better. You don't even know how much I've worried about
you."
Both of them stopped at the same time and looked at each other. Neither of them had any intention of going in. Instead, they stood at the door and listened to the conversation inside the ward.
"Now that you've finally recovered, I can rest assured."
