Hearing what Selena had said, Everleigh felt slightly uncomfortable. Although she was not a child of the Trevino family, they grew up together, and a bond had been created notwithstanding.
Everleigh slapped Selena on the hand and said, "Will you tell me what's going on now? If not, I will go and have my rest."
"It's all because of Leon's parents. They found out that he's been living here and they've been sending me such messages. Look, it infuriates me." As Selena finished her sentence, she showed her sister something.
It was a message to her.
Everleigh read the message. It was full of threatening words.
However...
"What are you going to do about it? I don't think you will treat Leon cruelly."
"What can I do? I admit that I still have feelings for Leon, and I wanted to find someone and forget about him. As a result, I failed. Leon's sleeves are full of tricks," Selena said helplessly, but her tone still showed her love for him.
Everleigh smirked and suddenly realized that both of them were unlucky enough to find boyfriends with families that disliked them.
Like Theodore's parents, they wouldn't even give her a glance.
"Tell Leon about this," she advised.
Selena widened her eyes. "Will this drive a wedge between them?"
"If it will, then let it be. Besides, this involves the Allen family. If this continues, you won't even get to marry Leon. Why do you have to suffer alone? Do you want to end up like me? To be framed countless times?" Everleigh asked bitterly.
This was the matter of the Allen family. Selena shouldn't be hiding it from Leon while experiencing all the suffering alone.
After hearing what Everleigh said, Selena's eyes went dim, and she was silent.
Everleigh knew that she was doing this for her and Leon's future, but then, life was not picture-perfect, and love was part of it.
Selena hesitated for a moment; Everleigh's words made sense. "Then I'll talk to Leon now," she said.
"Well, don't burden yourself."
After hearing Everleigh's words, Selena went directly to Leon's room. Everleigh sat up for a moment. It didn't take long for Leon to rush out. Theodore saw what had happened as well from the guest room as he leaned against the door frame. After hearing the car's ignition, they all went back to rest.
"Everleigh, I followed your words. You're responsible for any consequences," Selena said as she was about to walk into her room to rest.
Everleigh was speechless upon hearing what her sister said.
Theodore walked over and sighed, "You don't have to worry. Leon won't be at a disadvantage. The Allen family is not able to control him."
Everleigh nodded. Thinking of Leon's character for the past few years, if they could control his actions, the Allen family would have done it earlier.
"Rest now," he said softly. Then, he pulled her back to her room to rest.
The following day, Everleigh went to the hospital. Stainley was so busy that he didn't have a good rest. He didn't even go back home in the morning.
"Dr. Trevino, you're finally back. Dr. Smith is exhausted." The nurse was so grateful that she almost cried tears of gratitude.
Everleigh didn't know whether to laugh or to cry. She understood that all of the exhaustion was because of her doing and that Maxwell was the one who took care of everything.
"I will resume my position at once. You can rest assured." She hurriedly went to work and dealt with her tasks.
Just as she had completed her tasks, Stainley walked over. When he saw her, his eyes lit up. "You're finally back. Erine has come to look for you many times."
"I know. I'll go look for her at noon."
"Is everything okay with Christopher? When will he come back?"
