Since the day she returned to the country, the phrase "seven years ago" had a special meaning to Everleigh. On any occasion, when she heard the phrase, she would be stunned and thought of her own predicament.
The phrase Yvonne mentioned seemed to have no connection with Everleigh. Based on the inference from the timeline, Yvonne should have been pregnant with Hansen.
Pregnant with Hansen?
"That's enough," Wilson's voice interrupted Everleigh's thoughts. The figure opposite her suddenly stood up, and a shadow fell on her, calling her consciousness back.
Wilson's expression was as calm as usual. He picked up the suit jacket hanging aside and said, "I have an appointment with Mr. Gabriel to discuss some projects."
Yvonne kept silent until Wilson left. Her hand on Everleigh's shoulder suddenly tightened. She concentrated all her energy on that hand.
Everleigh was stunned. She turned her head and saw Yvonne's forbearing face. Her beautiful eyes were full of tears.
"Yvonne," Everleigh called out to her in surprise.
Yvonne covered her mouth and choked on her sob.
Everleigh helped her sit, took out a tissue and handed it to her. "Fortunately, nothing happened to Hansen. Don't be upset."
"That's not what I'm upset about," Yvonne wiped her tears and she completely lost her composure. "I'm sad because Wilson can't even lift a finger as Hansen's father. I've endured this for years, just for the sake of yearning for a better life. I don't want to create problems and trouble myself. I'm stupid for enduring all of these, but Hansen is too young to..."
Everleigh patted Yvonne's shoulder and silently listened to her vent.
The woman who was resentful was far from what her first impression of her was. Yvonne was pure and kind. Christopher was right. The Godfrey family was indeed a man-eat-man place. Even if Yvonne did not intend to fight and had been neglected by the Godfrey family, she still couldn't escape from this disaster.
Stepping out of the ward, Everleigh sent a message to Christopher, "Where are you?"
"In my office," he replied.
"I'm coming to find you."
Seven years ago, Yvonne was pregnant with Hansen. It happened that Xavier had a car accident, thus losing his place as the heir to the Godfrey family. If Yvonne's first child was a baby girl, it wouldn't pose a threat to Madison. The unknown s*x of the baby was a time bomb for Madison.
In Christopher's office, Everleigh leaned against the chair as she was deep in thought. "I didn't think much about it at first, but now it seems that Yvonne was pregnant seven years ago. Madison sensed it as a threat. That was why she was so anxious to get Theodore back to take over the Godfrey Group."
"I've already told you. What else do you still have doubts about?"
"I want to investigate what happened when Hansen was born."
Christopher's eyes narrowed and said, "What doubts do you have?"
"Yvonne said that when Hansen was born, she suffered from labor dystocia and was involved in an unnatural accident," Everleigh said.
"Do you think that it has something to do with Madison?" "She has the biggest motive," Everleigh said.
She held the arm of the office chair, and her eyes were calm and firm. "Although it has nothing to do with me, the more evidence we have on her, the more people will get involved. We'll need to drive them off the cliff. It will be easy."
Christopher was silent for a while. "Well, I'll take care of it."
It was busy in the afternoon. Everleigh had to attend to patients and perform two operations. She only came out of the operating theatre when it was dark out and she was completely exhausted.
As soon as she returned to her office and sat for a while, the phone inside her pocket rang.
"Hello?"
"Dr. Trevino, you finally answered the phone." A familiar voice came from the phone. Everleigh subconsciously looked at the caller ID, but it was an unknown number.
"I'm Moses, Mr. Godfrey's assistant."
Everleigh paused for a moment, "What's the matter?"
"Do you have time now? Would you mind coming to the Godfrey Mansion?"
Theodore once lived in the Godfrey Mansion. Everleigh went there once after she returned to the country. During that time, she also left in discord.
