Deep Love Hidden From Him novel Chapter 58

The elevator doors creaked open, revealing the garage. The place was cold, even colder than it was on the surface level. Everleigh disliked it as it reminded her of her encounter with Madison the day before.

Theodore's assistant was already standing in front of the car. As soon as he saw Everleigh, he politely nodded and greeted her. He opened the door and said, "Dr. Trevino."

Theodore was already in the car.

The car left the garage and Jackson Hospital. Outside the window, the view of the trees in the suburbs quickly passed. No one was speaking in the car. The air conditioner was set to a low temperature. It made Everleigh touch her arms in response to feeling cold.

Not long after the car started driving, Everleigh's phone rang. When she saw the caller ID, she subconsciously glanced at Theodore, only to see that he was leaning on the back of his chair and closing his eyes to rest. It seemed like he was not paying attention to her, so she decided to answer the call and said in a low voice, "Hello?"

Stainley's voice coming from the other end sounded a little anxious. "Everleigh, where are you now? I just finished an operation and I heard that you were injured. Are you alright?"

"I'm fine. I've bandaged it."

"Are you still at the set? I'll go look for you. I'll send you home so that you can rest."

"It's okay. I'm on my way home now."

He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good. Go back and have a good rest. I'll head over to see you later."

"It's okay, I..." Everleigh was about to ask him not to worry too much when the hair on the back of her neck stood up. Her intuition had always been accurate as she noticed Theodore's eyes were focused on her. His gaze was all it took to make her feel guilty.

At that instant, she dismissed the call after a few brief replies. Her mind went blank.

"Was that Stainley?"

Theodore's voice came from beside her. Even his voice sounded cold.

Everleigh managed a forced nod and said, "Yes."

"He cares for you, doesn't he? He even follows you wherever you go. He's still the same after all these years."

"You're mistaken. He came to Jackson Hospital for a symposium. It has nothing to do with me."

"Really?" Theodore snorted. "What's the point of explaining so much to me?"

His words took Everleigh by surprise and she felt embarrassed. It seemed like she cared too much about Theodore's opinion. That would explain why she talked about Stainley.

From the looks of it, Theodore was still the same as he had been in the past. He was competitive and would find the appropriate time to strike whenever he could.

She did not say anything along the rest of the journey. After Theodore sneered at her, he closed his eyes to rest. He looked like he did not have anything more to say to her.

The summer afternoons could make someone feel groggy. Looking at the moving scenes outside the car window, Everleigh's eyelids felt heavy as she sat comfortably on her seat.

She was clueless as to when she had fallen asleep. She even had a blurry dream.

Theodore stayed awake. He frowned when he saw Everleigh curled up and hugging herself. He raised the temperature and instructed the driver to drive a little slower.

When they were about to arrive downtown, Josephine called him.

Checking the caller ID, Theodore glanced to the side from the corner of his eyes and pressed the answer button.

Josephine's voice sounded gentle as it usually would, "Theodore, you won't be at the company today? Sarah prepared some soup for you and sent it over to the company. She came back and said that she didn't see you."

"I paid the crew a visit. I'll go back later."

"Well, that's fine. The soup's in the refrigerator. I'll remind the secretary to heat it up for you and then you can drink it."

"Okay. Thanks for the effort."
