Deep Love Hidden From Him novel Chapter 257

"Since Mr. Godfrey is so concerned about the hospital, I think I should recruit more talent, but in terms of funding..." Mr. Lawson cautiously probed, afraid that what he said would be wrong.

These days, those who were powerful had it all. There was no order of hierarchy to be found.

"Of course, I admire your business acumen," Theodore said in a deep voice before hanging up the phone.

Mr. Lawson was relieved when he heard the beeping sound coming from his phone. If Theodore really wanted to defend Everleigh, he should have done it earlier. There was no need to wait for Mrs. Godfrey to make her move and let the entire hospital pay the price for the war between them.

It was really... not easy to describe.

When Everleigh returned home, Alastair and Adrienne were playing with Selena in the living room. Since they moved in, Selena would come back home everyday.

"Mommy, you're back," Adrienne said as her entire face was smudged with ice cream. It looked very comical indeed.

Everleigh took out a tissue from her bag and wiped Adrienne's face. "Why are you so careless? How many did you eat today?"

"Only one. If you don't believe me, you can ask Alastair," she said, pointing at her brother with her hand.

Alastair sat quietly on the sofa, reading a book. He ignored Adrienne as his sister was a professional liar especially when it came to food.

Seeing the behavior of the two siblings, Selena couldn't help laughing for a while.

Everleigh was a little stunned when she saw this. They hadn't talked much since the last time they spoke. Now that Selena was smiling like this, it made her reminisce about her childhood.

"What are you looking at? Haven't you seen someone laugh before?" Selena noticed that they were all staring at her, especially Everleigh, who looked a little unnatural.

Everleigh nodded seriously and said, "Indeed, I haven't."

At least she had not seen it since she came back.

Selena was speechless for a moment and turned around to go upstairs.

However, Alastair's steady voice could be heard slowly, "Aunt Selena isn't sure how to get along with you."

Everleigh walked over and sat next to him. Next, she reached out her hand and rubbed his head. "So, you're still the know-it-all, huh?"

"Aunt Selena bought a lot of fruits when she came back, and they're all your favorite." Alastair frowned and was somewhat dissatisfied with her touching his head randomly.

Everleigh took back her hand and looked at the fruits on the table. She felt warmth in her heart as she realized that it was different this time. At least, Selena was going to forgive her.

"Mommy, Aunt Selena is amazing. She bought me a lot of snacks and ice cream." Adrienne held a spoon in her hand and even stuck out her tongue to lick at the ice cream. Indeed, she looked very cute.

Everleigh took a deep breath and said, "Don't eat anymore after this. I'm going upstairs to take a bath, and I'll tell you bedtime stories later." "Okay," Adrienne said. She enjoyed listening to Everleigh's stories the most, so she quickly gobbled down her ice cream.

When Everleigh came out of the bathroom, she picked up the phone and saw more than 20 missed calls from Mr. Lawson.

This made her a little curious, so she pressed the button and called him back.

Soon, the call connected.

"Mr. Lawson, what can I do for you?"

"So, I have thought about it carefully. Everleigh, you're an expert in cardiology. If I let you go, it will be a great loss to our hospital. Basically, I want you to come back to work tomorrow."
