The truth was, Galen was shocked to learn about Sanchez's death. He knew all the while that Sanchez had worked for that old wicked man. He was the one who received money from Wilson before they proceeded to take any action.
He guessed that he must have said or done something to be killed.
Otherwise, why would the car accident happen the exact day he was discharged from the hospital?
Galen didn't look into it, and he didn't want to. He'd rather focus on being alive while he still could.
After all, his days were numbered.
"Didn't they come and visit you?" Everleigh asked.
"They used to do so when Sanchez was still alive, but now that he's dead, no one knows what will happen next. They have to hide to avoid being killed," he answered.
"Maybe this is exactly what the person who killed Sanchez wants, to warn the rest of you," she guessed.
"It doesn't matter. To run away and stay hidden is the wisest choice; it would definitely bring them less trouble."
She felt that what Galen said made sense. It seemed that there was no way for her to find out the truth.
"Miss Trevino, I know you are looking for evidence. If you can find Derick, you can definitely get the evidence," he added.
She lowered her head. She didn't say a single word. It all didn't matter anyway. She thought she could find someone to testify against Wilson, but it clearly wouldn't work.
Everleigh headed upstairs dejectedly. Theodore and Alastair were chatting. Seeing that she wasn't looking fine, Alastair asked in a hurry, "Mommy, what's wrong?"
"Nothing." She sat on the sofa. She was wondering if she should start finding Derick.
Theodore frowned and asked in a deep voice, "What's wrong? Is something troubling you?"
"No, I'm just thinking about something. Anyway, have you all eaten? I'll go get lunch," she replied as she got up.
Adrienne grabbed her by her coat. "Mommy, there's no need for that. Daddy has already asked someone to send us some food. We're just waiting for you." She then pointed at the dishes on the table, and drooled.
She couldn't wait to dig in.
Everleigh looked over to the table; there were five or six containers of food. It was a little too much for the four of them.
"Wow, that's a lot of food."
"Daddy said that you'll be tired from work, so he asked them to prepare more. Mommy, you have to eat more." Adrienne opened the lunch boxes excitedly. They were all Everleigh's favorite dishes.
"Why did you get so much food?" Everleigh asked.
"If you like the food, just eat more. You have another shift in the afternoon, right? Hurry up and eat," Theodore got down from his bed and started setting up the table.
The four of them enjoyed lunch on the sofa.
Everleigh had some food, and was already full. If the conversation with Galen didn't happen, she might have had a better appetite. She felt worse after talking to him.
Looking at her worried expression, Theodore couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? Just tell me." "I'm just thinking if there is a way for me to let my patients stay alive a little bit longer," she replied with a frown.
She didn't look fine at all.
"Death is inevitable. It's all part of life. There's nothing you can do about it. Why don't you make
their remaining time much more memorable and enjoyable?" He suggested.
She glared at him. She obviously knew that death was inevitable. She was just trying to let Galen stay alive for a few more months, as he was an important witness who could testify against Wilson in court.
