Deep Love Hidden From Him novel Chapter 57

Theodore's words startled Everleigh. Her eyes and brows dropped as she instantly avoided his gaze.

"No."

Although it sounded simple, the denial was not very convincing.

"It's not?"

"Of course not." Everleigh pursed her lips and raised her head after a second of hesitation. "Why are you asking so many questions? It doesn't matter why I left seven years ago. You're getting married soon, and I have my own career. We both live separate lives now and no one's holding each other back."

That was just how the world worked. Life goes on even when someone leaves your life. There was no need to dwell on the past.

Theodore's eyes turned cold, and he said, with emphasis on each word, "No one's holding each other back?"

Everleigh's heart jolted. When she noticed the anger in the man's eyes, her face became stiff. She wanted to say something to explain but then decided against it. She remained silent.

Both of them knew that it was pointless to reminisce about the past. Seven years was simply too long. How many seven years would they have in this lifetime?

Even if the incident seven years ago was just a misunderstanding, why would it matter now?

Why would they want to disturb the stable lives they currently had now?

The atmosphere in the emergency room ward was freezing. Everleigh was left breathless under Theodore's cold gaze. A tight pressure was squeezing her chest.

Finally, the doctor came back and gave her a shot. "Okay, you're fine now. Remember not to use this hand when you go back. Don't expose it to water, and you have to apply medication on it daily."

"Yes, I know." Everleigh was a doctor herself. Needless to say, she was also very clear about the doctor's reminder.

As they left the hospital, Theodore walked over and stopped in front of her.

"Well," Everleigh hesitated for a while and said, "I'll go back to the crew first. You should have something to do. Thank you for today."

Theodore did not bother to turn his head as he said coldly, "Pack up your things. See you at the garage in ten minutes."

The instructions left Everleigh stunned. Before she could say anything, Theodore had already left.

Was Theodore trying to tell her that he was driving her home?

Everleigh greeted the crew members when she returned. She grabbed her bag and left the place.

The crew members were embarrassed that their female lead was the cause of Everleigh's injury.

Selena's assistant rushed towards her just before she left the place, "Dr. Trevino, I'm really sorry for what happened today! Selena didn't mean it. Please don't take it to heart!"

"She probably doesn't even care, right? I mean, if I take it to the heart or not."

"How is that possible?" Selena's assistant, Crystal, smiled apologetically. She looked around to make sure no one was around her, lowered her voice, and said, "I don't know about the others, but Selena is your own sister. How could she possibly want to harm you?"

Everleigh was indifferent.

In the past, she would have thought the same way. Selena was her sister. No matter how far her sister went, she was simply throwing a tantrum. It was like when her sister had taken her toy when they were kids. She would never have any resentment in her heart.

However, recent events showed her otherwise.

Her sister grew up and had her own way of thinking. They had not met each other for seven years and did not get along now. She did not even bother to question the reason behind their fallout. Now that things had developed into an unsalvageable situation, she finally decided to give up on her sister.

"Don't worry." Everleigh looked at Crystal. "I won't tell anyone about what happened today."

Selena asked her assistant to look for Everleigh in such a hurry. It was not because she felt apologetic, but the fact that she was a public figure. Part of her was afraid what had happened earlier that day would leak to the public, attracting negative news towards her.
