Deep Love Hidden From Him novel Chapter 141

The reason Everleigh had approached Theodore was to investigate the incident that happened seven years ago.

In her opinion, there were only two outcomes. Either she would succeed to find out the truth, or it would fail to be discovered. However, Christopher knew her very well.

The third outcome would completely deviate from her original intention of getting close to Theodore, but it was logical.

She would once again fall in love with Theodore. Just like she did seven years ago, she would fall into the momentary happiness of being stared at by those dark eyes of his. If she was not careful, she would really repeat the same mistakes she made.

"No, I won't."

"No matter what you do, I will support you, but you have to think clearly for yourself." Christopher sounded very dignified.

"Okay."

After she hung up the phone, the room was silent. In the huge bedroom, the only light came from the faint glow of her mobile phone screen and the room became completely dark after it switched off.

Everleigh laid under her quilt, but she could not sleep.

How could she repeat the same mistakes?

She had come out from a dangerous place. Why would she be together with Theodore again? When she was young, she was fearless, but now that she had two children and a career, how could she still be as naive as she was in the past?

The phone lit up and illuminated a bright spot on the ceiling.

Everleigh rolled over and glanced at her phone. It was a message from Christopher that read, "By the way, I forgot to tell you I saw Cecil Hayes' Twitter post. She has had enough fun and is coming back."

Cecil was her roommate in high school and was a beauty. She went abroad to study jewelry design at a renowned university. She was unfriendly, preferring to stay with cats rather than with humans. She traveled often, therefore people could not get in touch with her for a year.

Everleigh looked at Cecil's Twitter post and saw a photo taken in Iceland with the aurora in the background. There was only one sentence written in the caption, "Going back to where there is no wind or rain."

It was only posted an hour ago, but the number of likes on the post had already exceeded the ten thousand mark.

Everleigh immediately went through her contact list and made a phone call, but the phone was turned off. She sighed helplessly and commented on her social media feed, "There is something called a mobile phone in our modern society and we use it for communication."

Everleigh did not know how long it would take for Cecil to receive her message, therefore she closed the social media app and didn't care about her anymore.

She applied for three days' leave, which was sufficient for her to have a good rest.

It was the middle of September. The weather was cool after it rained.

In the archives of Ocpeace Medical University, Everleigh looked for ancient books among the bookshelves to prepare for the thesis for her later promotion.

During her three days of leave, she basically stayed in the archives. Apart from picking up and dropping off her children every day, she hardly had any contact with the outside world.

The sound of the elevator going down was particularly audible in the huge archive room.

Everleigh subconsciously looked in the direction of the elevator and frowned in suspicion.

The archive room, which was located on the third basement level of the Ocpeace Medical University library, was rarely visited. Many of the books in the archives were precious collections. Ordinary people could not enter unless they were researchers in the university.

A tall figure passed through the bookshelf and the sound of his footsteps got closer and closer.

Everleigh held a book in her hand and looked sideways at the corner of the bookshelf. She felt that the footsteps sounded very familiar, but she did not know where her intuition came from. She immediately put down the book and walked in the opposite direction.

She wore sneakers, which barely made a sound when she walked, but the other person seemed to have a very good hearing. They walked in the same direction, but between two different bookshelves.

Everleigh's footsteps gradually quickened. The other person tiptoed at first, but was now catching up to her speed. After she passed through several bookshelves in succession, she walked hurriedly to the stairs.

Just when she was three meters away from the stairs, a figure walked out from the corner of the bookshelf and stopped in front of her unexpectedly.
