Said I didn’t Love Him But I Lied

Lucas, the butler, frowned and asked, “What is it this time?”

“The soup that the nurse prepared was too hot,” James, the assistant, replied.

“Really?”

“How could it be overly hot,” The assistant shook his head and frowned. “I’ve told the nurse over and over again that the temperature of Young Master Xavier’s food must be just right. If anything goes slightly wrong again, the young master will fly into a temper again.”

As soon as he finished saying that, a loud crashing came from inside the house.

Another series of crashes followed.

Lucas sighed helplessly and said in a low voice, “Okay, give Mr. Theodore a call later and ask him to come here. Young Master Xavier has to eat, one way or another.”NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

“Yes, sir.”

After the assistant left, Lucas walked towards the door of the bedroom and knocked on it. “Young Master Xavier, it’s me.”

There was no response. Lucas did not enter, but through the crack of the door, he could faintly see a figure at the head of the bed, clad in black pajamas. The figure was extremely thin and under the light, his face was a little pale.

“The nurse has been dismissed as she was terrible in her job. I’ll find another one for you later, one that you’ll be happy with. Don’t worry about it. It’s not good for your health.”

Two coughs came from the room. “Huh… Who cares if I’m not in good health?”

“Young Master Xavier, please refrain from saying like that. Your father, mother, and brother all care about you. They send you all sorts of gifts.”

Xavier snorted coldly. “What? He does? If he really did care about me, how could he not even visit me once after my accident?”

Lucas frowned. “Now, now, he did come here before. It was you who refused to let him in. It was you who didn’t want to see him. Am I correct?”

“Just that one time! He only came that one time. When I didn’t let him in, he never came again.” The man in the room suddenly became emotional. “I know, he doesn’t keep our family in his heart. He only wants to live with that woman!”

Xavier began his rambling about the past, something which Lucas was already used to. Only when Xavier was done yelling that Jacob decided to speak, “Young Master Xavier, I’ll ask the kitchen to prepare some new dishes for you.”

He closed the door and it became quiet outside.

Looking around the big three-story house, it was magnificent and full of servants. However, even an old man like him, who was over the old age, felt lonely, let alone a 20-year-old boy.

The butler looked at the bedroom door and sighed silently, then went downstairs.

At this time, the black car was driving steadily on the street of Ocpeace City, and the man’s side profile was reflected in the rearview mirror.

After hanging up the phone, Theodore ordered the driver, “Go to Xavier’s place.”

“Yes, Mr. Godfrey.”

In the passenger seat, Moses asked hesitantly, “Is Mr. Xavier unwilling to eat again?”

Theodore nodded slightly and frowned. “Please, go on.”

Just before Theodore answered the phone, Moses was reporting to him regarding the real reason why Everleigh had been suspended for so long in the City Hospital. Just as he was talking about the most important points, he was interrupted by Theodore’s phone.

“Yes, someone told the director that they didn’t want Dr. Trevino to continue working in the hospital so the project has been put on hold for so long.”

“Who did it?”

Moses hesitated for a moment before spitting out two words. “Miss Bailey.”

Theodore’s pupils constricted slightly, and a hint of displeasure flashed across his eyes.

He didn’t like people who were smart*sses, and he didn’t like them interfering with his matters. The reason why he had decided to marry Josephine was because she knew what she should do, but she shouldn’t interfere in this matter.

“Mr. Godfrey, if you put pressure on Mr. Lawson in your name, he will definitely let Dr. Trevino come back.”

“There’s no need.”

Theodore’s expression darkened. “Get the media department to publish some gossip.”

“What would the tagline be?”

“Let’s publish the short video about Selena that we’ve suppressed before.”

“The one with the crew?”

“That’s right.”

Moses did not come back to his senses for a long time. He did not understand what his boss meant by doing this, but he did not dare to ask too much. If he asked too much, he always felt that his boss would think that he was very stupid.

“Yes, sir. I’ll do it right away.”

…

The next day, Everleigh drove back to the hospital after coming out of Ocpeace Medical University.

The hospital didn’t inform her of her return, and Everleigh didn’t receive any phone calls. It was exactly what Christopher had said. Things were not so simple, and Dr. Harrison backing her up was useless.

However, Dr. Harrison had called her and asked her to go back to the hospital to do a data test on the thesis. At the same time, she could tutor the students on their thesis. Although she couldn’t continue her job, she could still get some scientific research fees.

“Teacher, have you found me this leisurely job because you were too afraid that I’ll be broke?”

Back in the office, Everleigh put down the students’ thesis.

Dr. Harrison took a sip of tea and rolled his eyes at her. “Huh? It’s not easy to go to both the laboratory and the hospital on such a hot day. Also, these students’ thesis are too horrible to even read. Can you even bear it?”

Everleigh said disapprovingly, “Back then, you also commented on my thesis like this. Put me in their shoes. I will definitely teach my juniors a good lesson.”

“That’s enough. It’s better to finish checking the first drafts rather than talk back to me.”

…

As they were talking, a knock on the door came from outside.

“Come in.” Dr. Harrison took a look.

“Dr. Harrison.” It was Dr. Harper from the administrative department of the hospital who came in a hurry. “Dr. Trevino, it’s good that you are here. Come with me to the meeting room.”

“What’s wrong?” Everleigh was stunned for a moment. “Should I go to the meeting room?”

“Yes, the dean asked me to call for you.”

“What’s the matter?”

“Let’s talk about it when we get there. It’s quite sudden.” As he said this, Dr. Harper was about to pull Everleigh away.

“Wait a minute.” Behind the desk, Dr. Harrison suddenly stood up. “Everleigh is still on suspension. Tell me what happened first. Otherwise, she won’t be able to leave. She’s now my personal assistant.”

Dr. Harrison was highly respected in the hospital. Everyone had to somewhat listen to him and Dr. Harper was no exception.

At that moment, Dr. Harper’s face was full of tears. “Dr. Harrison, please don’t embarrass me. This matter is really urgent. The news on the Internet has caused a lot of ruckus. If this matter continues, it will not be good for our hospital. The consequences will be too serious.”

“What news?”

“Look, look.” Dr. Harper immediately took out his mobile phone and said, “It has been on the news in the early morning, and the news has reached the top of the most searched hashtags.”

Everleigh stood next to Dr. Harper and saw the news at a glance.

“Selena acting like a diva and hurting the medical expert of a drama crew. The responsible hospital decided not to investigate further and suspended the medical expert…”

“…”

Dr. Harper said, “Selena was the focus at first, but the opposite side led the fire to our hospital too fast. Why didn’t they find a way to apologize to Dr. Trevino, but instead came to fight us?”

As soon as he finished his words, Everleigh immediately understood and exchanged a glance with Dr. Harrison.
