Loraine covered her face in embarrassment and said, "Aunt Everleigh, stop messing around with me.
Everleigh smiled without saying anything. At her age, Loraine should be dating a boy from school, instead of being hurt by her father and sent to the hospital.
More than ten minutes had passed, but Yvonne hadn't returned to the ward yet. Hansen was getting a little worried, so he asked, "Aunt Everleigh, can you go out and look for my mom? Why isn't she back yet?"
Everleigh glanced towards the door. He was right. Why wasn't she back yet after so long?
"Don't worry, I'll go and have a look right now." She comforted them and went out of the ward.
She walked along the corridor. As she arrived at the end of the corridor, she heard Wilson saying, "I've never once thought of divorcing you."
"Didn't you expect that this day would come when you made the decision to hurt Loraine? Wilson, do you really think that I have no idea that you've ruined Xavier?" Yvonne screamed.
Everleigh happened to hear it.
"Who told you about Xavier?"
She snorted, "Why, are you surprised that I know? You were even cruel to Loraine, let alone Xavier."
His expression changed as he asked coldly, "Did Everleigh tell you about it?"
Yvonne was puzzled. "What does this have to do with her?"
Wilson saw that Yvonne didn't seem like she was lying. He could only blame himself for saying something wrong.
Yvonne was a smart woman too. She knew that Wilson had always been secretive. From what he had just said, she could infer that Everleigh knew something about it.
Everleigh hid behind the wall. She was shocked. Did Wilson just confess his own wrongdoings?
"What does Everleigh know?" Yvonne asked again.
"Nothing. Anyway, I won't divorce you," he said with a stern expression. Shortly after, he left.
He arrived at the corridor, and met Everleigh who didn't manage to hide herself.
"Miss Trevino, I didn't know that you enjoy eavesdropping," he stated.
Everleigh smiled faintly at his sarcasm. "Mr. Godfrey, your voice is so loud that I can't even unhear you."
He snorted coldly and left.
Yvonne walked out from behind too. She saw Everleigh, who was also staring back at her.
Neither of them wanted to speak first.
Everleigh didn't know where to start.
She couldn't possibly tell Yvonne that she knew everything about her kids, could she?
"Everleigh, what he said just now, is it true?" Yvonne asked.
"Which matter are you referring to?" Everleigh asked helplessly.
Yvonne was astounded. "How much do you know?"
Everleigh pursed her lips. She didn't know if she should tell her the truth or not.
Yvonne wasn't anxious. She just stood there, staring at her.
She didn't want to miss out on any slight changes in her expression.
After a long while, Everleigh sighed softly. "I know everything, including the incident that happened eight years ago."
Yvonne was flabbergasted. Emotions were running wild in her eyes which were slowly turning red. Her mouth was wide open, and she didn't know what to say.
"Yvonne, I didn't mean to hide it from you, but your relationship with him..." Everleigh said.
"You have to be extra careful then. Wilson is a wicked person. If he finds out that you know so much, he'll definitely do something bad to you," Yvonne reminded her. She didn't want any explanation from her.
Everleigh was startled, and asked awkwardly, "Aren't you blaming me?"
