Deep Love Hidden From Him novel Chapter 127

Mrs. Godfrey took a sip of her tea after she spoke in a cold tone. When it came to her son, she did not show any affection. "The people that Fynn hired were too careless."

George looked awkward. He only received the news in the middle of the night, but he never expected Theodore to arrive so quickly. He did not have time to prepare so he was caught off guard. He said, "No one expected Mr. Theodore to show up."

"Since things have turned this way, I'm afraid Theodore wouldn't be easy to handle. Let's not jump the gun. Tell this to those men Fynn sent. If they want to come out safely, watch their mouths. No matter what they have said before, if they say another word, they will spend the rest of their lives in prison."

George hurriedly nodded and said, "I'll take care of it."

"Alright," Mrs. Godfrey lowered her head and sipped her tea. Then, she thought of something and said, "Wait a minute..."

"Is there anything else you want me to do?"

Mrs. Godfrey said thoughtfully, "Josephine has been quiet these few days. How is she recently?"

"Miss Bailey had not been doing much," George said hesitantly, "But I don't know if I should tell you this."

"What is it?"

"Not long ago, Mr. Xavier met her."

Mrs. Godfrey, who was drinking her tea, frowned when she heard it. She raised her head, "Why did Xavier meet her?"

George looked perplexed at the question. "Mr. Xavier had never been a man of reason. Perhaps he wanted to meet his future sister-in- law as Mr. Theodore's wedding is approaching."

Mrs. Godfrey frowned even more. After a moment of silence, she ordered, "Find someone to keep an eye on Xavier before Theodore's wedding."

"Yes, Madam."

It was dawn. It was not the peak hour for traffic, but the ER in the city hospital was busy. The operation theatres were full.

After the last operation, Everleigh was so tired that she had no strength to change out of her sterile gown. She sat in the corridor, leaned against the wall, took off her mask, and closed her eyes to rest.

Traffic accidents were common during heavy rain. When she arrived home the night before, she was called back by the hospital not long after she fell asleep. A large number of highway crash victims were sent to the ER. She worked overtime to perform operations and the last one finally ended.

"Dr. Trevino, we are going to get breakfast. Do you need us to get you anything?"

"No, thank you. I'm not hungry. Go ahead."

The nurses in the operating room packed up the medical equipment and left, leaving Everleigh alone in the corridor.

Her phone vibrated in her pocket. The moment she saw the caller ID, she frowned but proceeded to answer the phone after a while, "Hello?"

Theodore's voice came from the other end of the line. "Are you free this afternoon? We need to talk."

"About what? Have you confirmed with your mother about what happened last night?"

"No."

When Theodore said 'no', Everleigh was furious. Her voice sank a little. "Then I have nothing to talk to you about. See you in court."

Even though the Godfrey family was rich and influential in Ocpeace City, she had evidence that they hired people to intimidate and threaten her. She did not believe that the court would turn a blind eye to it.

However, Theodore said, "Are you sure that the evidence you have is strong enough to prove that those people have something to do with the Godfrey family?"

"What do you mean?"

"12 o'clock. I'll send you the address." Theodore was always a straightforward person.

"I'm not going," Everleigh said those three words and hung up the phone.

Her shoulders shivered as she held onto her phone tightly and looked at the white wall in front of her. She did not know whether it was because of the operation or the phone call.
