Deep Love Hidden From Him novel Chapter 4

Water was gushing from the tap in the bathroom.

Everleigh stared at her own reflection in the mirror. Her face was flawless and her white coat suited her. Unfortunately, her eyes were bloodshot. It was evident that she just cried.-

If nothing happened seven years ago, she would have married Theodore.

Seven years ago...

As Everleigh recalled the incident seven years ago, she could feel a dull pain on the back of her head and she tried to catch her breath.

A scene from seven years ago appeared in her mind. It was a dark rainy night, a group of men surrounded her in an alley. She screamed for help but her voice was drowned out by the rain...

"Bang!"

"Who's in there? Why did you lock the door?"

Everything disappeared when she heard someone banging on the bathroom door. She felt like she just emerged from the water after nearly drowning. She inhaled sharply and snapped back to her senses.

She hurriedly washed her hands before opening the door. She went out and said, "Sorry."

"What the hell do you think you're doing? You're even a doctor..."

Everleigh ignored the curses from the stranger and hurried away with her head lowered.

As soon as she returned to her office, she spotted someone in a white dress sitting at her desk.

"Everleigh." Josephine stood up and the train of her wedding dress fell on the floor. Sunlight shone on the dress and it was very dazzling.

Josephine noticed Everleigh's red eyes and she asked hesitantly, "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine. I just dealt with a patient and the medicine got in my eyes." Everleigh pretended to relax and the corner of her lips curled. She placed the medical reports on the table and asked, "What can I do for you?"

"Well, Theodore wants another attending doctor. I thought I should inform you." Josephine then added, "Don't get me wrong. I didn't call the shots, it was Theodore."

Everleigh clenched her hands in her pockets quietly but she was expressionless. She replied calmly, "It doesn't matter. You can just tell the dean about it. Even if it's your idea, it's understandable. You don't have to explain yourself."
