Deep Love Hidden From Him novel Chapter 56

Under everyone's horrified stares, Everleigh lowered her head and looked at her right hand blankly.

The wound would not split immediately when a sharp object had just grazed skin. Instead, blood will start seeping out like how it was on her hand right now. Blood formed a straight line on the wound and was dripping down her fingers.

The blood dripped onto the ground and soon formed a puddle. Everyone looked at her in shock.

"Oh my god!" Someone exclaimed, and everyone broke into chaos.

Selena's face was pale. When she saw what she did, the scalpel slipped out of her hand and clattered onto the ground. She stumbled away from Everleigh slowly. "I didn't mean it. I... I really didn't..."

As she spoke, a tall figure made his way through the chaos and blocked Selena. Facing Everleigh, he said, "Raise your hands and come with me."

Everleigh froze for a moment. By the time she snapped out of it, Theodore had already grabbed hold of her injured hand. He led her through the crowd and pulled her out of everyone's way.

There was a trail of blood, and everyone around them cleared a path for them to walk.

In the Jackson Hospital Emergency Room, Everleigh's hand was wrapped in gauze.

The doctor said, "Wait for fifteen minutes. If there are no other problems, we'll give you a shot."

"Alright." Everleigh nodded.

"I have another patient to attend to, so you just wait right here."

"Sure, go ahead."

After the doctor left, Everleigh was left alone in the ward.

After dropping her off at the emergency ward, Theodore walked out.

Just as she was wondering if Theodore left, he opened the door and walked in. Holding a bottle of water in his hand, he opened it and handed it to her.

"Thank you." She reached out her right hand to take it from him. When she realized that her hand was wrapped in gauze, she quickly switched to her left hand.

The both of them seemed to have put the Madison situation behind them as she was injured. Both of them behaved as if the fight never happened.

Theodore pulled a chair and sat down. His gaze was as cold as ever. "You're quite an expert when it comes to offending people, aren't you? What did you do to piss off your own sister?"

Everleigh forced a smile and said, "You might as well ask yourself."

Theodore frowned.

"Did you withdraw Selena's endorsement?' "What?" There was a flash of panic in Theodore's eyes.

"So it seems. No wonder she treated me like sh*t."

"Do you think I replaced her because of you? Everleigh, how can you be so confident about yourself? You think I removed her as our ambassador just because she slapped you?"

Everleigh was stunned. She stared in shock at him, "What did you say?"

Theodore's face froze.

"How did you know she slapped me? The ambassador..."

Everleigh did not understand what he was talking about. It was completely not what he thought would happen.

Theodore did not know what to say. He said angrily, "What exactly are you talking about?"

Everleigh's eyes showed that she was shocked. "I'm talking about how you took away her endorsement, so she wanted to demonstrate her acting skills to you today. However, she didn't do well, so she was embarrassed. That's why she was unhappy with me..."

Wasn't that the case? Anyone could tell what was happening, but what was Theodore thinking?
