Abraham suddenly spoke up from the side. He denied him with just one sentence.
All of this was due to the Godfrey family. Who was Theodore trying to bluff by saying things like that.
Theodore clenched his fists tightly and suppressed his anger. He almost couldn't control himself. However, when he looked at Adrienne's face, he realized that he really was the one at fault.
The atmosphere became quiet again.
Abraham glanced at Everleigh and said to them, "All of you can go back. We'll watch over her."
Stainley and Theodore were outsiders. They would only be eyesores if they were there. Hence, Stainley didn't say anything and left. He would be able to come visit at any time since he was working there.
Theodore left reluctantly. No matter what he did right then, it would all be deemed wrong. He would rather do something practical instead of being despised there.
When Josephine heard the news, she laughed arrogantly. She didn't believe that she wouldn't be able to mess her up.
"Everleigh, let's see what you can do this time when you can't continue to be a doctor." Josephine laughed loudly.
After such a long time, she finally vented her anger.
A few days ago, she went to find Yadreil, who cursed Everleigh. She investigated him and found out that he had a genetic mental disease. He had only been discharged from the hospital a few years ago. Recently, he would go to visit Everleigh as his body didn't feel well. She said that she would pay his examination fees for him because he didn't have the money. However, he would still have to pay the other expenses by himself.
It was because of what she said that made him feel like she was the same as the other doctors who only wanted to make money.
The reason Everleigh said that was because she wasn't sure about the result. It would be great if it was benign. If it was malignant, there was no way for her to help him with her income.
However, she didn't think that Yadreil would hold a grudge against her.
Then, Josephine went to meet him and talked badly about Everleigh to him. She also said that he wouldn't go to jail even if he slashed her.
It was precisely because of those words that he would attack Everleigh.
Josephine truly understood the feeling of 'using a borrowed knife to kill' from that matter.
She felt so awesome.
She was still happy at the moment. She didn't know that a disaster would come soon.
Theodore asked Moses to investigate those who were in contact with Yadreil. Moses didn't dare to neglect this matter as it had proved Theodore's feelings towards Everleigh.
Theodore sat on the company's office chair. Then, he turned around to look at the bustling street below, like a wandering snake. Even the stars in the sky looked cold and cheerless. It reminded him of the time when he went to Romantic Urban.
Everleigh said that they had no possibilities anymore. He was the one who caused her to suffer.
He wanted to make up for it, but soon, he realized that he wouldn't be able to do it anymore. Alastair's attitude that day explained everything. He didn't love him as his father. Theodore was a stranger to him.
That made him feel even more frustrated.
He had been in a high position all these years. Others would follow his lead and never dared to speak out their mind. However, he was defeated by his son, Alastair. He was afraid that he would treat him coldly or not want to accept him.
Under the dim light, his expression looked a little cold, but his heart had many complicated emotions in it.
At that moment, he didn't know how to face Everleigh and his two children.
Cecil rushed to the hospital when she heard the news. When she saw Everleigh lying motionless in the ICU, her tears fell down in an instant.
"Everleigh." She knocked on the window, feeling heartbroken.
Christopher and Abraham were waiting with each of the children in their arms. They watched as Cecil came over.
Both of them fell into silence.
"Christopher, how could you let this happen to her?" She turned her head and looked at him, who was sitting on the chair without saying a word. Then, she walked over and shouted at him.
He looked haggard and did not look as high-spirited as before.
She opened her mouth, but she didn't say anything more in the end.
