The atmosphere in the ward was harmonious.
That afternoon, Cecil found a hotel for Everleigh and Theodore so that they could catch up on some rest.
Everything else could wait.
Everleigh glanced at Alexander and went to get some shut-eye. Upon hearing this, Cynthia was a little upset. "Are you here to visit Alexander or to have a rest? I don't sense any sincerity in you at all."
Everleigh whipped her head around to gaze at Cynthia's attitude- ridden face. She frowned and said, "I can't compare with you. Others say that you've been working hard abroad, but by the looks of it, you seem to be turning into Humpty Dumpty. I guess you didn't have any hardships, huh."
Cynthia's expression turned cold. "Oh, don't launch your missiles at me."
"You started it first. Visiting Alexander is my part of showing sincerity. Besides, I came here by plane. Don't you know the time difference between home and abroad?" When Everleigh had arrived, her whole body was tense, and her mind was on high alert. When she knew that Alexander and the others were alright, she started to loosen up. However, the more relaxed she was, the more the exhaustion sank in.
Now, she could not no longer hold on.
Facing Everleigh's words, Cynthia didn't know how to retort.
Alexander understood that it was tiring for Everleigh to travel all the way, and it must be even more tiring for her to stay up for the whole day.
"Everleigh, hurry up and get some rest. I'm fine."
"Alexander, I'll come over and visit you later," she responded in a soft voice. She then glanced at Cynthia and turned to leave with Theodore.
After Everleigh left, Cynthia stamped her feet anxiously. "Alexander, won't you give her a lecture?"
"What can I say? She flew from another country and has been here for so long. Is there anything wrong with her going back to rest?" Alexander glared at her. Cynthia seemed to find everything about Everleigh dislikable.
She remained quiet after being rebuked by Alexander.
When Missha walked over, she was carrying a lot of things in her hand. She looked around and did not see Everleigh. "Where is Everleigh?"
"She has gone back to rest. Why? Did you expect her to stay and look after Alexander?"
"Why aren't you getting some rest as well? Didn't you just arrive?" Alexander scolded her in a cold and deep voice.
Cynthia choked. She didn't dare to speak again as she picked up the food brought by Missha and began to dig in.
Missha knew that this niece of hers was not fond of the other, and that Everleigh must be very tired from all the traveling, so it was normal for her to have a rest.
In the evening, Everleigh came to visit. Alexander was seated on the bed, eating, and Cecil was feeding him.
It was a rather dazzling sight.
"Oops, we came at the wrong time." Everleigh stood at the doorway, with Theodore following behind her. The two of them looked like outsiders.
Cecil rolled her eyes playfully and said, "Leave all your nonsense at the door, thank you. Take my place and feed him. I haven't eaten yet."
"Uh-oh, we haven't had our meals either. Besides, Alexander prefers you feeding him." Everleigh took Theodore's hand and sat down on the sofa, taking in their intimate actions.
Alexander's eyes were full of smiles. It was rare for him to have such a good treatment, so naturally, he did not want to miss it.
"Cecil, I'm not full yet."
Cecil assumed that Alexander did it on purpose. He had polished off almost two plates of food, but claimed that he still wasn't satiated. Cecil threw the plate aside and said, "Excuse you, I didn't get to eat too."
He pouted and stopped talking.
Everleigh knew that if he continued to tease her, Cecil would get angry.
Theodore glanced at his phone. It was filled with documents sent by Moses. If he ignored them, it would cause a lot of problems for the company.
"You've called him?"
"I did. I think he'll arrive soon," Cecil answered his question.
Now that Alexander was safe and sound, it was reasonable to inform them.
