Deep Love Hidden From Him novel Chapter 224

After three days of observation in the hospital, the results of the doctor's examination came out.

"At present, it seems that there is no big problem. There is no need for surgery. You can leave the hospital and go home to rest."

Hearing this, Everleigh breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you, doctor."

She rushed over after handling the hospital's affairs at noon. Before she had time to go to the ward, she went to the director's office to ask for the examination results.

Over the past few days, she had been on edge for fear that there would be more accidents. Craniotomies were not easy operations, and the risk of infection was also very high. Hence, it would be better to avoid it entirely.

After coming out of the office, Everleigh went to the ward to tell Theodore the good news. However, as soon as she arrived at the door of the ward, she saw a nurse cleaning the ward. The bed in the bedroom was neatly arranged, but Theodore was nowhere to be seen.

"Hello, where is the patient?" Everleigh asked.

The nurse looked up at her and said, "Mr. Godfrey? He has been discharged from the hospital."

"He's discharged from the hospital? When did he leave?"

"Just half an hour ago. He left with another lady."

A lady? Everleigh was stunned for a moment. "How old was the lady? Has she ever been a visitor here?"

"She's in her late twenties and she's pretty." The nurse tidied up the sheets before she paused for a moment. Then, she hesitated and said, "I heard from my colleagues that the lady seems to be Mr. Godfrey's... girlfriend."

Hearing this, Everleigh clenched her fingers tightly and her expression stiffened.

If she guessed correctly, it was Josephine.

It was already noon. In a restaurant near the hospital, the waiter had just served the dishes on the table.

At the window seat, the sunlight was just right. Through the window, they could see the people rushing about on the streets outside.

Josephine was the first to speak, "Actually, I knew that you were hospitalized a long time ago, but I didn't come to the hospital to visit you. On one hand, it's inconvenient for me to do so with my status, and on the other, I knew that Everleigh was taking care of you. Thus, I'm afraid that I'll end up in an awkward situation."

Meanwhile, Theodore's expression was indifferent and even a little impatient.

Since the Godfrey family's birthday banquet, he had never been in contact with Josephine. He had clearly mentioned the cancellation of the engagement. For this, he also took good care of the Bailey family's business, and it was more than enough to make up for it financially.

However, Josephine was not angry and she still looked gentle and mild- mannered. "I know you don't want to see me, but there are some things that have to be made clear face to face. That's why I came to see you. I just want you to listen to me this one time for the sake of how long we've been together."

Theodore's gaze was distant. "What do you have to say?"

"I agree to cancel the engagement."

Upon hearing this, he raised his gaze to look at her, and he frowned slightly.

Josephine's words were straightforward. She didn't drag it out at all, which was radically different from how she usually did things. She was different from Everleigh in this aspect as she tended to leave herself some leeway in everything.

Even if there were no feelings, at least there was still gratitude after seven years of companionship.

Then, Theodore asked, "Why did you suddenly agree?"

Josephine smiled. "I've thought it through and it's impossible to force feelings. When Everleigh came back, I already knew that our wedding was impossible. If this drags on, your patience for me, which you didn't have much of in the first place, wouldn't be able to hold up anymore. So, why make it any longer than it needs to be?"

Nevertheless, his frown deepened.

"Theodore, I know that I've done some things that have made you unhappy, but I hope that we can still be friends after breaking up. That's all I'm asking for."
