Deep Love Hidden From Him novel Chapter 50

Everleigh knew that Theodore was the eldest son of the Godfrey Group. Although he was very low-key and they'd been studying in the same high school, no one in the school knew about it. However, her first interaction with Theodore had something to do with his family.

Even now, she still remembered that it was during their school's sports day. Theodore stumbled and injured his knee during the relay race. That day, she was resting in the infirmary from period cramps.

Behind the curtains, she heard an argument.

"His knee is injured, and it's even bleeding. What's the matter with the school? Can't you even guarantee his safety? I'm going to see your headmaster."

The young woman's voice was not loud, but it was full of rage.

However, the teenager was very calm, even a little indifferent. "It's just a small injury. If you look for the headmaster, I'll drop out immediately."

Everleigh's interest was piqued when she heard the word "drop out." She immediately started eavesdropping on their conversation.

Was there a need to be so arrogant?

Back when they were younger, those students who were rebellious towards their parents and teachers were worshipped by the other students.

The young woman was outraged. "Theodore, what do you mean by that? Are you threatening me?"

"I'm not threatening you. I'm merely telling you the consequences. You have the right to do so, and I have the right to drop out."

"Alright, you can drop out. Then, I'll ship you abroad to study."

"I won't go."

"You..." The young woman was furious. "Fine, you want to rebel? Okay, that's up to you. You can do whatever you want now, so go fool around! Let's see how you end up!"

After that, the door of the infirmary slammed shut, and the young woman left.

After a long time, a teenager's voice rang out. "When were you planning to stop eavesdropping?"

Everleigh's heart skipped a beat. She held her breath and concentrated. She did not dare to make a sound, so she closed her eyes and pretended to sleep.

The curtain was suddenly pulled open from the outside. The moment the glaring light shone in, she subconsciously raised her hand to cover her eyes and saw a figure through the gap between her fingers.

Under the light, she saw a clean and energetic face covered by a layer of golden sunlight.

Everleigh was stunned for a long time before she remembered to apologize. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to eavesdrop. I was really asleep before."

"It's fine." The teenager's temper was not as intimidating as it was a moment ago. When he introduced himself to her, he was almost like a completely different person. "I'm in Class 1A. My name's Theodore Godfrey."

"Everleigh... Trevino." She breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at him. "I'm from Class IB."

Not long after that day, Everleigh heard that one of the school's shareholders had donated a large sum of money to refurbish its racetrack. The track was made of the best material that was known for shock absorbance. If the runner had a light fall, there would not even be a scratch on their leg.

Apart from her, the rest of the school had no idea that one student's injury caused this huge change.

It's so easy to become close when you're young. A secret shared between two people, the glances during class, giving the guy a bottle of water during basketball training...

Many years had passed, and Everleigh still felt that her best memories were left during her high school days.

However, now, whenever she thought of the past, all she felt was a pain.

Everleigh gathered her thoughts and said, "It's also because of your brother's accident that you went back to your family, right?"

Theodore glanced at her. His gaze was somewhat distant. "No, it wasn't."

Everleigh gripped her utensils tightly. "Then, what was it?"

"What do you think is the reason?"

"I... I don't know."

"Because you broke up with me. Back then, I applied for Ocpeace Medical University because of you. Since you were gone, why should I waste my life? Since I've lost love, I decided to pour all my heart into my career."

Everleigh was stunned.

"Did you expect a reply like that?" Theodore's eyes gradually turned cold.

Hearing this, Everleigh's face was stiff. Her heart felt like it was on a rollercoaster ride, downwards.
