Deep Love Hidden From Him novel Chapter 220

For a week in a row, Everleigh took care of Theodore in the hospital every night.

As it was almost Thanksgiving, the two children's school was about to hold their annual Talent Show. After Everleigh received the invitation, she took a half-day leave on purpose to go shopping with Cecil.

"The sun really is rising from the west. You're actually going shopping for new clothes. I take it that you're not wearing a white t-shirt and jeans to attend the children's school activities this time?"

At the shopping mall, Everleigh smiled helplessly as she heard what Cecil said. "Don't I usually wear that all the time? Nothing is more comfortable than a shirt and jeans under my white coat."

"You'll find a way to justify yourself no matter what. That pretty face is wasted on you." Cecil rolled her eyes at her. "I'm really jealous of you. You don't even have dark circles around your eyes after working on the night shift for more than a week. How do you manage it?"

When it came to the night shift, Everleigh felt a little guilty and changed the subject. "Enough, aren't we going shopping? That shop seems good. Let's go in and have a look."

"Which one?"

"That one," Everleigh said while pointing to a shop far away. When she caught a glimpse of the person who was carrying the bags behind her, she hesitated for a moment and then asked, "Do we have to take him with us?"

Following her gaze, Cecil turned to look behind her.

Leon was dressed in a casual suit. His hands were full of shopping bags and he was diligent and earnest like a pack mule. Seeing Cecil turn around, he immediately smiled.

However, she just gave him a fake smile before she quickly turned around and said in a low voice, "Do you think I was willing to take him with me? He just keeps following me, so I'm just going to use him as free labor."

Despite the fact that Cecil was arrogant and cold to Leon, Everleigh was still worried.

In the past, he had hurt Cecil very deeply. Although she had never discussed it, Everleigh silently took all of it in.

"You'd better think about it carefully. Don't repeat the same mistakes."

"What do you mean? Am I that kind of person?" Cecil said simply, "But I wouldn't mind it if you locked him up in the lab again like last time."

When it came to this, Everleigh couldn't help laughing out loud.

"What are you two talking about?" Leon's voice could be heard from behind her. Then, he came up and said, "Tell me about it. Don't be so ruthless. You treat me like a hapless pack mule."

Everleigh hurriedly waved her hand and said, "Nothing, we're just chatting."

"How could it be nothing?"

"Do you want to know?" Cecil replied before she stood in place and swiped at her phone screen with her elegant fingers until a QR code showed up. "10,000 dollars, and I'll tell you after you pay me."

"10,000? That's extortion."

"So you're not going to do it? Then forget it." Cecil immediately put away her mobile phone and didn't force him at all.

He was anxious. "Hey, I didn't say I wasn't going to do it. Just wait for me to take out my phone."

Everleigh looked on as Cecil received money from Leon, and she quietly mused that he was far too easy to extort.

After he paid, Leon asked, "Can you tell me now?"

"Yes." Cecil smiled mysteriously. "We were just talking about how you were locked up in the lab of Ocpeace Medical University and spent the night with the lecturer."

As soon as she finished speaking, Leon's expression changed immediately. He paled considerably before he put down the things in his hands and rushed towards the bathroom.

As she looked at his retreating figure, Everleigh said helplessly, "Cecil, wasn't that a bit much?"
