Hearing her words, Christopher stared blankly for a moment, then immediately understood. "Perhaps you don't know that Madison was taken away last night. The court started the trial this morning. I heard that Theodore didn't even care at all."
Everleigh was stunned and couldn't think clearly. "Could it be that he listened to my words and didn't care to do anything?"
"How come I don't know?"
"You were absent-minded from the moment you came in. I'm not surprised you didn't know. I heard that Yvonne also went to the hearing. Obviously, she wanted to see Madison being sent in with her own eyes." Christopher's voice was not loud, but it was enough for Everleigh to hear him.
She remained silent.
She took the medical records to Hansen's ward. It was Hansen's third dosage. The previous two had already shown some promising results.
If his illness could be treated, then it would be a breakthrough for her.
Hansen's smile grew even bigger as he saw her enter. "Aunt Everleigh."
"How do you feel today?"
"Much better. Aunt Everleigh, thank you for saving me yesterday. My mommy told me that you saved my life."
Everleigh was a little relieved to hear his childish voice. Not because of his words of gratitude, but because his voice was proof that his heart was getting much better.
At least he wasn't gasping for air.
"I'm going to give you another injection today."
"Alright. I trust that you will be able to cure me." He smiled brightly.
The expectation in his eyes was like stars flashing.
It was something that could not be ignored.
After Everleigh's medicine had been injected, Yvonne also came. She wore a smile on her face, and was totally different from before.
"Yvonne."
"Everleigh, thank you for your hard work."
"No need to thank me. What made you so happy?" Everleigh chuckled. At the same time, she sounded puzzled, as if she didn't know anything.
Yvonne smiled brightly. "Madison was sentenced, which is a good thing for me."
"How long?"
"More than a year, Theodore said that he didn't care, but in reality, he still did. It doesn't matter. I'm happy even if it was only for a day."
Everleigh didn't say much after hearing that and left the ward with a random excuse.
"Everleigh, if you have time, I'd like to invite you to my house." After Everleigh left, Yvonne's voice came from behind.
She was slightly stunned and said, "Let's talk about this some other time."
"Okay, whenever you're free." Yvonne did not mind her refusal. On the contrary, she smiled even more brightly and went back to the ward to see Hansen.
As soon as Everleigh came outside, she called Theodore. He answered in a deep voice, "Hello."
"It's about your mom."
"Mm, you were right. Perhaps it's a good thing for her to be there." His voice was cold, as if he wasn't affected by this matter.
She realized once more that he wasn't that close to Madison.
"Will you be sad?"
"No, you're right. One reason is to protect her, and the other is so that she can calm down." "It's good that you can think in this way." He let out a soft laugh. She hadn't heard his laughter for a long time. It took her a while to come back to her senses.
It was eight years ago when they could laugh carefreely together, when they were still young.
Sure enough, things are only precious when they are lost.
