Deep Love Hidden From Him novel Chapter 393

Theodore pursed his lips. He just liked spending time with her. His feelings for her had never changed over the years.

"Sleep early. I'm on duty tomorrow and can't take care of you here. I'll send Alastair and Adrienne here tomorrow," Everleigh said.

"Sure," Theodore replied, and didn't say anything else.

The next day, she felt the dazzling sunlight shining on her face. She slowly opened her eyes and was rather surprised to wake up in a different environment.

"Are you awake?"

She sat up and turned around to look at him. She couldn't react for a while.

Theodore chuckled when he saw her puzzled and confused face. He asked, "You didn't sleep well last night, did you?"

"I think so... My head hurts a little," she said as she grabbed her hair. It took her a while to remember why she was there.

Then, she got off the sofa and headed to the bathroom. After she freshened up, she went downstairs for work.

'TH drop by for lunch later," Everleigh said before she left the ward.

Theodore nodded. He suddenly remembered something and called out, "Wait."

"What is it?"

He grabbed an apple from the table and handed it to her. "Here, eat this apple before you start working."

She raised her eyebrows. She took the apple and then went out.

He smiled as he watched her leave the ward.

It was still rather early when she returned to her office. She put on her white coat and sat down. She took a glance at Galen's ward. She pondered for a while before getting up and heading over to his ward.

Galen had already woken up the night before. She was occupied with Theodore, so she had forgotten about it, but it wasn't too late for her to drop by.

She entered the ward and saw Galen's wife, Messie, feeding him. Messie got up as soon as she saw Everleigh.

"Dr. Trevino, are you here to do your rounds?" She greeted.

Everleigh nodded and smiled in response. Her gaze was then fixed on the food container in Messie's hands. She saw meat inside it.

"Um, he can't take greasy food yet," she reminded.

"I know, but he..." Messie paused and looked over at Galen.

Everleigh could tell that he wanted to eat meat, but his condition wouldn't allow him to do so.

He sighed. He was so emaciated that his eyes were already sunken in.

"I'm the one who insisted on eating this. I know I don't have much time left," he said.

"You've just had an operation, it's better not to eat these," Everleigh suggested to Messie, "Why don't you get him some oatmeal or soup instead?"

"Alright then," Messie replied. She then turned around to leave the ward.

Galen watched as she left the room, before returning his gaze to Everleigh and asked, "Dr. Trevino, is there something you'd like to ask me?"

She took a deep breath and sat on the sofa. She asked, "Galen, do I look familiar to you?"

He was startled by her question. He looked at her carefully; she did look familiar.

She smiled faintly. "Let me remind you then. Eight years ago, in the back alley of Godfrey Group."
