Deep Love Hidden From Him novel Chapter 65

After leaving Dr. Harrison's house, Everleigh went back home with Priscillia's gifts.

Adrienne loved meat. Her eyes lit up when she saw the roast beef. She put down the pizza and tailed after Everleigh, waiting for her to heat the food.

The two children were eating when Everleigh received a phone call from Christopher.

Everleigh answered the call and strode to the living room. "Hello? What's up?"

Christopher replied, "I'm just checking to see if you're feeling better."

"Sort of." Everleigh stretched her injured arm and added, "I don't have to go to the hospital after this, and I can just change the bandage at home. In a couple of days, it'll probably heal."

"What about your work? Did the hospital let you return to work?"

"Not yet." Everleigh was a little annoyed at the thought of that, too. She sat down on the sofa and leaned against it. "But I met Dr. Harrison today, and he said he'd work things out."

"Dr. Harrison is too upright. Two years ago, I met him at an international academic exchange. I don't think he'll be able to solve it."

"Are you sure? Dr. Lawson is Dr. Harrison's student, so Dr. Lawson should be willing to compromise."

"That is if no one stands in his way."

"What do you mean?" Everleigh was puzzled.

"Are you getting stupid after returning to Ocpeace City?" Christopher taunted, "Think about it. You started out as a normal doctor. You took care of your patients, but suddenly, the patient's family member misunderstood you. Because of that, rumors started spreading like wildfire, and you were suspended. After that, you became a medical expert on set, and now you're injured. Don't you think that everything sounds a little fishy?"

Everleigh frowned. "Do you think that someone is pulling strings behind my back?"

"You finally figured it out?"

"I didn't offend anyone, so who would do this to me?"

"This world is not that pretty, you know. Are you sure no one would do this to you? Your colleagues might be jealous of you for being young and promising. Also, you have rivals in your love life. Well, they don't want you to stay in Ocpeace City."

Christopher's remarks made Everleigh's heart sink.

The hospital paid her handsomely to return to Ocpeace City. She was young and promising. Hence she would stand a huge chance to get a promotion. Therefore, she would be her colleagues' biggest rival.

However, that was definitely not a solid reason for them to frame her like that.

As for her love rivals, she could name a few who did not want her to stay in Ocpeace City. They were Josephine, Selena, and Theodore's mother.

Everleigh pointed out, "It shouldn't be Mrs. Godfrey. Before I was suspended, she didn't know that I was back."

"Between your sister and Josephine, who do you think would do it?"

"How did Mrs. Godfrey know that I'm back?" Everleigh was deep in her thoughts.

As far as she knew, after Theodore took over Godfrey Group, Mrs. Godfrey retired and no longer interfered. It was impossible for Mrs. Godfrey to keep an eye on Everleigh 24/7.

So how did Mrs. Godfrey know?

"It wasn't my sister." Everleigh took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. "Josephine did it."

Suddenly, she understood something else.

Theodore claimed that Everleigh showed Mrs. Godfrey evidence that Josephine abused the maid. He assumed that Everleigh was trying to interfere with his marriage, but where did those photos come from?
