Deep Love Hidden From Him novel Chapter 234

The next morning, as they rounded the wards.

"Helen, your blood pressure today is a little high. You have to pay more attention to your diet."

In the VIP ward, Everleigh put away the blood pressure monitor. The nurse next to her packed the things up. Following Everleigh's instructions, she took the newly extracted blood to the lab.

Helen leaned against the bedframe and looked at Everleigh with a kind expression. "I didn't sleep well last night and had a nightmare. Does it have anything to do with this?"

"It's possible." Everleigh poured a glass of water and handed it to her. "Have you been in a bad mood lately?"

Helen took the cup of water and said, "It's not a big deal. Ifs just that I feel tired these days. I feel like there's something pressing on my chest and I can't catch my breath all that well."

"Really?" Everleigh frowned. "How long has this been? Ill check it out later."

"It only happened recently. Everleigh, why haven't you been around as much over the past two days?"

While they were talking, Helen took her hand and had her sit down by the bed.

Everleigh averted her gaze, and she said vaguely, "The clinic's been busy recently. Are you not feeling well?"

"When people get older, they'll always feel unwell eventually. The only thing keeping their spirits up is seeing the younger generation happy."

Helen patted the back of Everleigh's hand and said, "Everleigh, tell me, did Theodore make you unhappy?"

She immediately denied it, "No, don't think too much. What's there to be unhappy about with him?"

"Don't lie to me. That b*stard is really brainless. He's terrible at sweet talk and he doesn't know how to speak to girls. If it wasn't for the estate of the Godfrey family that he inherited, he would be no different from a fool."

"I don't think so," Everleigh felt it was too exaggerated and defended him, "If the teacher of the foreign language school at the university heard what you said, he would be very angry. Theodore was a top student in the foreign language department at that time."

"What's the point of that? He still gave up halfway and went home to inherit the family business."

Judging from Helen's tone, she didn't seem to think highly of Theodore's decision. Everleigh asked hesitantly, "Didn't you want him to go home and inherit the family business?"

"It's not that I don't want him to. It's just that people should do what they like to do. He doesn't have the ambition, so it's too hard for him to forcefully take that position."

"Then how did he..."

"That year, Xavier had a car accident." Speaking of this, Helen sighed. "In fact, Xavier's leg can't be fixed. The doctor said that it was not a problem for him if he slowly did physical therapy, but Theodore's mother wanted him to come home. She has a strong personality and I didn't want to upset her further after the huge emotional blow she received, so I went along with it."

"Was Theodore okay with it?"

"I've asked him, but he didn't object. He was in low spirits during that time and I'm not sure if he'd met with any difficulties in his work. In any case, it was he who gave up on the path of being a diplomat."

When Everleigh heard the phrase, "low spirits" her heart skipped a beat. She clenched her fists tightly.

When Theodore went back to the Godfrey Group, it was not long after she left Ocpeace City seven years ago. She remembered very clearly that at that time that he had been working in the capital and he was very appreciated by his superiors. By right, he could successfully be a diplomat.

Hence, she didn't dare think too much about why he gave up halfway.

"Everleigh," Helen's voice pulled her back from her thoughts.

She came to her senses and said, "Grandma, don't worry. I'm not angry with him. It's just that I've been a little busy these recently, so I haven't visited as much."
