Deep Love Hidden From Him novel Chapter 286

After the previous day's incident, Theodore had thought that Everleigh never wanted to see him for good, but there she was in his ward.

She pretended to act as if nothing had happened as she held the stethoscope and listened to his heart. Her delicate features were right in front of him as he stared blankly at her. When he thought about how she would no longer belong to him, his heart once again began to ache.

The nurse aside suddenly recalled something and exclaimed, "Dr. Trevino, I forgot the sphygmomanometer."

It was also because of the nurse's shout that their thoughts were both brought back to the present, especially Everleigh, who calmly said, "What's the use of yelling? Get it quickly."

"Okay, I'll get it now." As she said that, the nurse put the patient's record on the bed and went to get the sphygmomanometer.

Then, Everleigh and Theodore were left alone in the ward. Neither of them talked to each other. After checking on his heartbeat, she picked up the record and filled it in. In the big room, merely the sound of a pen writing on a piece of paper could be heard.

"You can get another check later. If there's nothing off, you will be discharged from the hospital." She treated him with the standard bedside manner.

On the other hand, he was starting to miss her long- winded advice. It was the most precious thing to him now as he would no longer hear it.

Just when he parted his lips and seemed to want to say a thing or two, the sound of clicking high heels was heard from the direction of the door.

The woman, who wore a black dress, walked in. Her dignified temperament was on full display. "Theo..."

The both of them looked at Madison, who was standing at the door. Then, they turned their heads away from her in a flippant gesture.

It was the same for Madison. When she saw Everleigh, the concern in her eyes had disappeared, and disgust replaced it.

She strode over and pointed at her, saying in a harsh voice, "Everleigh, you're like a stubborn cockroach. Wherever I go, you're there."

Everleigh looked at the hand persistently pointing at her, and sneered, "Madam Allen, I think there is a problem with what you've said here. This is my workplace, and I didn't come to see him on purpose. Your anger is misplaced."

Hearing her words, Madison realized where she was standing.

But this also could not be the reason for Everleigh to come over.

There were so many doctors in the hospital. Why did she come here?

"So what? You are here to see him in this ward because you are thinking of reviving your past relationship. Am I not right?" Madison accused her, forgetting that it was Theodore who had been to Everleigh's place, and he who proposed.

Everleigh's clear eyes were full of sarcasm, and she found the woman in front of her to be simply unreasonable.

"You think of your son as a treasure. However in my eyes, he is nothing. You'd better pay attention to your words, or I don't mind having someone drive you out, Madam Allen."

"How dare you? This is the hospital I invested in!"

"Madam Allen, you must be senile. Have you forgotten that you have stopped investing funds here?" Everleigh kindly reminded her, and then glanced at Theodore, who was sitting on the hospital bed with a gloomy face.

She really felt helpless for him to have a mother like this.

Madison froze for a moment before turning to look at Theodore. Had she stopped investing in the hospital? Hadn't he taken care of it?

Everleigh walked past her and went straight out. It was a waste of her breath to talk to her.

After Everleigh left, Madison growled angrily, "You didn't invest further?"

"You've done terrible things, and you still want me to invest? You're an investor, not someone who blackmails," Theodore's voice was obviously cold.

He left his mother with no other words.

"Alright, let's not talk about the hospital for the time being. Why did you go to the Tervino family to propose marriage?"

Upon hearing this, he didn't say a word. A trace of sorrow flashed through his eyes before it disappeared.

He was rejected by Everleigh after he proposed to marry her.
