"Your hand is still bleeding," Christopher said. He grabbed Everleigh's arm and put the alcohol swab on the wound again. "Press on it for a while."
When he looked up, he shook his head slightly as if to remind her of something.
"I'm really sorry, Dr. Trevino," Wilson's voice came from the opposite side. "You're also injured. The Godfrey family will visit you to show our gratitude some other day," he continued.
Everleigh forced the corner of her mouth upward and said, "No worries."
Because the police were going to lodge a report later, Wilson didn't gather information about what happened from Everleigh. After leaving his contact information and repeatedly saying that he wanted to thank her, he went to the ward to accompany his wife and children.
After he left, Everleigh cooperated with the police to explain her side of the incident.
"Miss Trevino, was the car on the beach yours?"
When he asked this question, Everleigh hesitated for a moment and denied, "No."
She said as the police officer gave her an interrogative gaze, "After we escaped from the kidnapper's car, it was the young president of the Godfrey Group, Theodore, who saved us."
The two police officers on the other side looked at each other, and one of them jotted down the word "Theodore" in his notebook.
"What's your relationship with Theodore?"
"Ex-girlfriend."
The two police officers looked at each other again.
One of them asked, "Why was Theodore on the beach?"
Everleigh frowned slightly.
"You should ask him," Christopher's voice came from the side. Obviously, he was a little unhappy. He continued, "My wife was frightened. If you're done with your questions, let's call it a day."
As her husband, Christopher had the right to stay and listen.
The policeman was stunned for a moment, then he held up his cap and said, "That's all for now. If there is any progression later, we may need your cooperation, Dr. Trevino."
"Okay," Everleigh replied. She nodded and watched them head out.
The door of the office closed softly, and the room became quieter.
Christopher pulled out a chair and sat opposite Everleigh. "I thought you would have kept Theodore's involvement from them."
Everleigh had a bottle of mineral water in her hand, and her eyes were calm. "His car was there. I can't hide it from him. It's better to be honest than to make the situation more complicated."
"If I hadn't interrupted, how were you going to explain to the police?"
"I don't know," Everleigh looked up at him. "I might tell the police that I know nothing."
It was true. She didn't know how Theodore ended up being there.
But she could guess it.
This was not the first time Madison had gone after her. Theodore was fully aware that Madison would do something to her behind his back ever since the paint incident.
Since he firmly said there would not be a second time, Theodore must have been paying attention to Madison's every move, especially those that involved Everleigh.
Therefore, it was not difficult to explain how Theodore got the news first-hand and came to save Everleigh. The news he got was not how Everleigh or Hansen got kidnapped, but Madison sending someone to kidnap them.
Looking at Everleigh's calm and determined look, Christopher had a complicated look on his face, "I really don't know if it's good or bad for you to be this calm now."
