Deep Love Hidden From Him novel Chapter 451

Elvir was a policeman after all. He knew very well about how people thought. Otherwise, he would not be a private detective.

"Since you know it, why don't you work harder?" Everleigh didn't feel embarrassed at all. She wouldn't feel guilty if he could say it out so easily.

He took a deep breath and gazed at the ceiling with his turbid eyes, looking in deep thought. After a long while, he said slowly, "Miss Trevino, the death of your parents was not done by ordinary people. It took me so many years to make some progress in this investigation. Except for those powerful and influential people who could've planned such a violent and well covered- up accident, I can't find any other reason that could make the investigation so hard."

"Powerful and influential? Could it be a business matter?" She frowned and asked. Thinking of the Godfrey family, she thought that it was possible.

He shook his head. "That's impossible. If it's related to business, I'd find a clue."

"What else could it be other than business feuds?"

"There could be a lot of things, such as revenge killing or revenge for love," he said indifferently. He looked totally different compared to how he looked when he arrived at the hospital.

Everleigh was silent for a long time and felt that what he said was somewhat reasonable. If it was about business, the Jenkins family would have the biggest motive, but it was a pity that the situation at that time was not that simple.

The information also showed that the Jenkins family was peaceful and harmonious then. It was only after Welment died that the situation became chaotic.

"Have a good rest and let me know if there is any more news," she said as she looked at the time. She could not stay there any longer.

Elvir did not answer. Instead, he laid down and rested.

When she came out, Christopher was leaning against the wall, waiting for her with his arms crossed.

"How's it going?"

"It's not a big deal. He'll be fine after resting for a while," she answered in a deep voice. Regarding her parents' death, she felt like she was walking into a fog. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get out of it. Instead, she got lost when she walked deeper in it.

She felt even more disheartened than when she found out about the person who hurt her.

Christopher noticed that she looked tired and didn't ask more. That afternoon went by, and when Everleigh got off work, she went to see Elvir and bought some food especially for him. However, when she arrived at the ward, she saw a bucket of fried chicken, ribs, hamburgers and all kinds of fruits there.

"Dr. Trevino, here you are. Have a bite." He handed her a drumstick.

"I'm not hungry, it's for you. Just take it as supper." She felt full looking at the food. She didn't expect that this person, who was so thin, would have such a big appetite.

He didn't feel embarrassed either. He continued to dig in and looked as if he was not injured at all.

When she returned to the Trevino family home, she saw Selena sitting on the sofa and talking to Jorben on the phone. They seemed very sweet. When Selena saw her coming back, she hung up the phone.

"You came back very early today."

"I'm not working tomorrow so I came back early today. Are you talking to Jorben?"

"Yeah, I heard that he has a new play and he wants me to be the female lead." Selena didn't feel very touched when she said this.

"You really want to take up this leading role?"

Selena shook her head and sighed softly. "In the past, I would've cared about it very much, but now I don't. However, I can't reject his kindness either."

Everleigh was silent for a long time. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Selena, don't you think that he has other intentions by doing this?"

Selena was confused. "What do you mean?"

"A person can't be perfect. If he has some shortcomings, will you still be able accept him?" Everleigh asked in a low voice. She recalled what Theodore had told her, that Jorben would not be at home every Sunday night, and that no one knew where he went.
