Theodore's attitude showed that he wouldn't show any mercy towards anyone. He finally realized that being kind to others would cause his loved ones to be bullied by others. If anyone still dared to argue with him, then, he would make them be lost for words.
"Wait. Theodore, you can't do this. We're all partners of the Godfrey family..." The old man said loudly as he realized that he had said something wrong.
However, he couldn't bring himself to apologize.
Theodore raised his eyes and said with a smile that didn't seem like one, "That's all in the past. I've had enough of you guys meddling in my business." After saying that, he didn't bother with their thoughts anymore. He stood up and left the meeting room.
In the hospital, Everleigh had been silent and hadn't eaten for a whole day. Adrienne sat beside her and kept crying. When Stainley went to visit, that was the scene he saw.
Christopher and Abraham couldn't do anything about it either.
"Everleigh, why don't you eat?" Stainley approached and looked at the table full of delicious food that showed no signs of being eaten.
She remained silent, as if she didn't hear anything.
"Stainley, don't say anything more. Give her some space. She will start eating when she straightens things out." Prior to that, Christopher had said a lot of things to her, but it had no effect on her in the end.
He could only pray that she would come out of her heart soon.
As a result, a day passed but she still remained in that motionless position.
Alastair couldn't stand it anymore and said softly, "Mommy, when will you be willing to accept reality?"
"I'm very sad now. Don't disturb me now okay? Give me a few days." Everleigh's voice sounded like a pot being scratched, piercing to the ear.
He didn't like how she was acting. They had gone through the hard days abroad; why would such a small thing matter?
She also wanted to be more open-minded, but when she felt that she still couldn't feel anything in her right hand, she inexplicably felt anxious. She kept thinking about how to survive the future days!
What else was there for her to look forward to in the future?
Alastair fell into silence.
When Christopher sent them back, Everleigh was still keeping silent, as if she didn't hear anything.
She was left alone in the quiet room.
At that moment, Moses walked in from outside and called out respectfully, "Miss Trevino."
Everleigh turned her head and looked at him, feeling a little strange about his arrival.
"Miss Trevino, Mr. Godfrey asked me to bring these to you. He said that one apple per day is good for your health, and these are the flowers you like most. Also, these are some medical books. Of course, it is up to you whether you want to read it or not as you are a specialist in this field."
He couldn't stop talking.
She looked at the things in his hands and opened her mouth, but she didn't say anything.
"I'll leave first. Please have a good rest." He put the things on the table and left.
She stretched out her hand to take the medical books in front of her. Those books were all about hand injuries.
There were all kinds of cases in them.
Her eyes dimmed. She used to be able to perform such a surgery with a scalpel, but now, they had all become mere memories.
The next day, Moses showed up again. This time, with delicacies in hand. He still brought an apple and flowers.
He left after he placed everything.
