Deep Love Hidden From Him novel Chapter 55

In the Jackson Hospital Canteen.

Stainley gave all of his ribs to Everleigh, but she still looked depressed.

"Did Theodore come to find fault with you?"

Stainley's words pulled Everleigh back to reality. "No."

"That's good. Here, eat."

"Thank you."

Stainley was a man of few words. He did not speak much, but he was very caring.

The pork ribs in the hospital canteen were very delicious, but for some reason, it tasted like wax to her today.

"Stainley, when did you find out about Theodore and me?"

"Why are you suddenly asking about this?"

"I thought you didn't know about it."

Everleigh had never asked Stainley about this. When she was abroad, she thought Stainley did not know about her history with Theodore, just like her other friends back home.

She only realized that he knew the night he dropped her home. Both the kids ran up to Theodore, but Stainley was not surprised. He did not ask her anything about him, either.

"When we were in our second year, I saw you and him hanging out around school," Stainley replied.

"Second year?" Everleigh seemed to be lost in her thoughts. "You've known for that long?"

He kept this a secret for a decade, yet he had never brought it up even once.

Seeing that Everleigh was silent, he asked, "Actually, I've always wanted to ask you. Is he the father of Alastair and Adrienne? I've always thought that your departure was a bit sudden and that maybe you had your reasons, but I was afraid that you would be unhappy if I brought it up."

"No." Everleigh forced a smile. "It has nothing to do with him."

Stainley was about to say something else when her phone rang.

Everleigh took out her phone and answered it, "Hello?"

"Right now?"

"Alright, I got it. I'm on my way."

After hanging up, Stainley asked, "What's the matter?"

"They want to start shooting again, so they asked me to come back as soon as possible. I have to go now." Everleigh took her bag, got up, and rushed off.

At the same time, Stainley stood up with her. Rushing after her, he said, "I'll fetch you home after work."

Everleigh was in a hurry, so she made an okay gesture from afar.

In the operating room, Everleigh saw that Theodore was still on set and behind the camera. Selena was standing beside him, pointing towards the camera and explaining the scenes that they were replaying. The look on her face was very flirtatious, and her body language showed that they were close.

Everleigh frowned and was about to move forward when the stylist stopped her. He shoved a pair of scrubs into her hand, "Dr. Trevino, you'll need to change into this."

"Why?"

"The director said that the operating scene is too difficult for Selena, so he decided to use you as a double for the scene that zooms in on the hands. Dr. Trevino, since you're a doctor, you can be double."

Without waiting for Everleigh to speak, she was pushed into the locker room to change.

In the contract she signed with the production crew, one of the terms stated that she had to demonstrate the procedures personally if needed. However, Selena was reluctant to let her be on camera, especially as her double. Otherwise, she wouldn't have spent the entire morning practicing.

As expected, as soon as Everleigh was done changing, Selena found out that she was going to be her double. She immediately got angry and stomped her feet, saying, "I've been practicing the whole morning. Why did you ask her to be my double? I don't need a double."
