Josephine was best at using her meekness and tears as her weapon. She knew that this was a woman's specialty. If she used it well, a man would listen to her and he would not even realize.
For the past few years, she had always been using this on Theodore.
Josephine and Everleigh were two completely different people and Theodore was well aware. When Everleigh disappeared, he was simply angry at the past. He ended up looking for someone who was completely different from her. It was as if only by doing so, he could prove that he did not love Everleigh and had never loved her before.
The advantage of deceiving yourself is that you will slowly think it's true as time passes by.
Truth be told, he was indifferent towards women who excessively showed their weakness. Right then, Josephine's teary look on her face was annoying him.
"The marriage deal will remain," his voice was not loud, but there was a hint of coldness in it. He did not give any explanation as if he was saying an oxymoron.
Josephine paused her sobs for a moment, then her tears fell all at once.
Theodore frowned and became a little impatient. He took out two pieces of tissue and handed them to her.
"Thank you." Josephine lowered her head to wipe away her tears. From the corner of her eyes, she noticed Theodore's expression. She tried her best to suppress her sobs and wiped away her tears.
After the car had driven for a while, Josephine got what she wanted and did not plan to say anything else. She had been overwhelmed by this matter for the past few days. She knew that the more she spoke, the more mistakes she would make.
"Have you been toYoreast Hills Garden often during this period of time?"
Theodore's voice sounded within the car. There was no emotion in it; it was as if he was simply asking a casual question.
However, Josephine was very careful. She only said 'Yes' and did not say anything else.
"Did the people in the Yoreast Hills Garden mention her to you?"
"Her?" Josephine's heart skipped a beat. Although she already knew the answer, she did not dare assume, "Who are you talking about?"
Theodore was silent for a second, and then he mentioned, "Everleigh."
Josephine clenched her fists, pretended to be calm, and said, "No, I don't think your family knows what happened to Everleigh, right?"
"My mother has never mentioned her to you?"
Josephine shook her head, her expression was timid, "Why?"
Theodore frowned when he saw how meek and timid the woman was. She did not seem like she was lying. "It's nothing. I was just asking."
Theodore could not forget what Christopher told him in the hospital that day. Seven years ago, someone intimidated Everleighand she had to leave Ocpeace City. The person behind it was related to the Godfrey family.
September was the beginning of the school season and Ocpeace Medical University arranged four lessons for Everleigh each week.
In the first class of the semester, Everleigh wrote one word on the blackboard: 'value'.
"Today is your first compulsory class on cardiology theory. I'm your lecturer, Everleigh Trevino. In the first class, we will talk about this word instead of theory."
The cardiology theory class was big. The students were all freshmen and had occupied half of the small auditorium. These freshmen were passionate and enthusiastic about medicine. No matter what their purpose in enrolling to Ocpeace Medical University was, most of them would end up in the medical care industry eventually.
Everleigh stood tall on the podium. "What do you think is the value of your life?"
Some students raised their hands and answered, "The value of my life is to be a good doctor, to cure diseases and save lives."
Some replied, "My value is to do my job well and actualize my dreams in life."
