Deep Love Hidden From Him novel Chapter 425

Theodore's eyes dimmed a little. Ever since Everleigh got together with him, she had never lived through a day comfortably, and now, things got even worse.

He had almost ruined her reputation as a doctor.

"Just focus on the investigation, I'll be fine." Her gentle and comforting voice echoed in his ears.

She knew what was in his mind.

Sometimes, when two people were together, they could still read each other's thoughts without saying much.

They were the best example.

She rested at home for the whole day. In the evening, it began to rain. Looking at the misty sky, she felt really uneasy.

Adrienne and Alastair seemed to have sensed her discomfort, so they didn't dare to speak.

Abraham who was sitting on the sofa said, "Are you worried that something bad might happen?" "There's this bad feeling in my heart, I just can't get rid of it," she said with a dull face. For the whole day, she hadn't received a text from Theodore.

She was really worried.

The matter was rather serious. It would be great if it could be settled privately, but if things got out of hand, it would be really troublesome.

The night gradually fell, and the message she had sent to Theodore was like a rock sinking into the sea. There wasn't any reply at all.

She couldn't rest well for the whole night. Instead, she listened to the pitter-patter of the rain outside. Her heart was trembling like the raindrops dripping on the roof, and the uneasiness in her heart was getting really strong.

Her eyelids were twitching the entire time.

It wasn't until dawn that she could finally close her eyes and sleep.

When she woke up, it was already past eight o'clock. She felt a little hungry and went downstairs. Before she walked down the stairs, she saw Abraham resting on the sofa, watching the news on the television. The news reported that a group of people were protesting outside Theodore's company. They were the family members of the deceased.

Crying and shouting sounds were constantly coming out from the TV, "Give me back my son's life! He was still so young! Do you think you can solve this problem with money?"

Some of them were even holding banners at the entrance of the company.

Reporters were swarming forward, trying to capture the expression of the victim's family.

Everleigh leaned on the stairs railing and clenched it tightly. Her face was turning pale.

"Miss Trevino." Hilda walked out with a cup of tea and was shocked to see her.

Abraham quickly turned around as he heard her name. He glanced at Everleigh who looked anxious and said softly, "Come and sit down with me.

Her eyes stared straight at the TV without even blinking.

On the television, Theodore walked out of the company, exuding the aura of a true leader. His deep gaze was ice-cold as he looked at the old lady sobbing in front of him.

The reporters were taking a bunch of photos, but none of them dared to step near him.

He walked over and looked down at the woman who was wailing on the floor. He sneered, "When your late son volunteered to participate in the trial, he signed an agreement with us, and it's legal and legitimate. What are you trying to achieve by crying over here?" "It's impossible! If he did sign a contract, why don't you show it to us? Do you really think that you can compensate us just by giving us some money?"

His expression turned even colder when he heard her words. "Well, if that's the case, you don't want the money, you just want your son back, right?"

"I..." The old woman choked on her words.

Everyone knew that nothing else could be done besides financial compensation after a person had died. Now that the incident had become a big deal, even if Theodore wasn't affected, he might not compensate the family anymore.
